Not 100% done but 98% always works good for me :o

Did a spring over lift which gives it about a 5"inch lift plus a little more

Gotta have a spare mount in the back along with dual batteries.

I cut the hood open and swapped in a Monogram Chevy S-10 V-6

Popular swap on 1:1

I had another color and plan for it but things change.

But with most repaints, some areas get missed.

Can't help but with having a V-6 ya gotta have a set of Cherry bombs.

whoops, forgot the brakes.

Fix that in production :D

Thanks for looking :lol:

Zinn A V-6 from a Grand National would work Great and a whole lot faster :D

To get the bulge for the tires, there is a PVC tube slipped over the wheel with

just enough room for the tire to fit on the rim..

Mopar:

Thanks, I cut and hinged the hood and swapped in a Monogram Chevy S-10 V-6

I painted it red since a member of the Suzuki group has a Red one about this size and

got pulled over for lack of fender flares.

So I did a pic of my sammie with an OSP Camaro model I did.

Add Karma.......

a week later, I got the same ticket. :lol:

Love it! Very very nice!!! Remind me one I drove when I was 14! B)

The lift should be SOA Spring Over Axle.

Thanks, I didn't get the chance to enjoy these lil things when I was younger.

They Make Great lil Wheelers..

I came from an All Mopar or No Car house hold.

Then I moved out and Moved on.

Okay Mr Brizio, Now your just bragging and rubbin it in :D

Those LJ80s are Dinkie but I'd still like to have one with the SideKick 1.6 16valve.

How's this Jeff?

They are Fujimi Racing Type OZ wheel iu23. Wide and Wider set.

it took two sets of wheels and a sleeve to balloon out the tires.

Rodney - I love it!! You and Dave have gone nuts with your 'four bys' as of late, and I like the direction you're going in. :lol:

I agree, and that's what I did to my lifted Samurai I built in 1989:

Rodney, if it was OSP officer Lane, over on the southern 205 area around West Linn that gave you the ticket, I'll have a word with him!!! :lol:

if it wasnt, sorry cant help..... :o

great Zuki build, looks real!!

Ha Ha.

no my Buddie got ticketed around MtHood area and I was in portland on the way to work.

Some Old copper on a bike kept calling my Zuk a Jeep. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr

Telling me I had the wrong fenders on my jeep and he didn't know why but I should get

it fixed..

Same bikecop got my lil bro too even tho he had a receipt showing he just bought the

tires and ordered the fender flares..

Some (just some)cops need to retire Early!

Dave your Sammmies are Awesome.

Engine looks great in it.

zuk thanks for the info ill ask my LHS buddy if he can get me one

It might be easier going Ebay or HLJ.com.

I know the LHS in my area couldn't/wouldn't get them.

Too bad too.

I've order a lot (30-40)of the Sammies and Sidekicks from HLJ for my Zuki club.

Thanks.

I don't think I'd take it on a Baja run but be fun in the mud, sand and Rocks.

Finding a Fujimi Jimny/Samuria kit is getting a little hard these days so your best shot is

checking on-line hobby shops and other auction (cough*ebay*cough*) sites

Here is a link to a How-to I just did on making the tires fit the much wider rims.

My First how-to too :D
