Hi folks, Even though I signed up a while ago (been lurkin' and learnin'), I'm just now finally gettin' around saying hi. Been a fan of the Samurai ever since they started being sold here. In fact, my first "new" car was an beige '87 tin top right off the lot back when they were selling like crazy. Of course, back then I did the Calmini mods. (seems like they had it going on with Zuks before alot of the others) and beat it to death. Eventually I picked up an FJ40 w/a small block and got rid of that little truck but, honestly I think the sami was the better vehicle. (Toyota= too big/heavy/thirsty) The next one was an '87 soft top about 6 yrs. ago, drove the wheels off it and sold it to a guy in Az. where the last time I heard it was a some sort of skeletonized rock crawler. Recently, I found a really nice '86 with a removable 2 piece top that had spent most of it's life behind a retired couples motorhome (peeled no less than 10 plastic reflectors off the back window and bumper!) Now I'm back in Zuki mode and all the other projects around here are just going to have to wait!
