Samurai Buggy build-third times the charm right?
Rear got a narrowed 14 bolt in the pics it was sitting on 60 series land cruiser springs. But they proved too long and it now sits on Toyota 4Runner springs

This came in a tmr shipment the other day. Third one I’ve bought as I sold the last two. So I opened it up and installed this one

not really liking the clamps that came with it and will probably change them out for a silicone hose style clamp

That's one way to make sure you make progress, actually install the parts rather than selling them to customers.pointsnorth wrote: ↑Fri Oct 04, 2019 7:39 am

Re: Samurai Buggy build-third times the charm right?
Is that prototype LC BlackBox something you got used? Or were they hoping you'd run it as part of their prototype testing?

I originally got it as part of their prototype testing and I know the output bearing and shaft have changed now in the production model. for all i know it will end up being a 3k paperwieght

Re: Samurai Buggy build-third times the charm right?
Stripped them down and just installed the shock bodies to give me a perspective on where the upper shock mount will end up and how much uptravel i will have without putting the shocks thru the hood looks like I’m probably going to tip them back 12-15 degrees to give me more room in the front of the engine bay.
As you can see thinks are tight up front.
