Im just Getting done with my Barbie Samurai Build up, time to put it up for sale, this is one of the most capable Samurais around. The body when i got the truck was shot, so i took the body off and replaced it with a 90% rust free body. The only rust was in the back by the tailgate and the filler neck. I cut the spots out, and sanded all the rust down, then rust proofed it then put self-etching primer down. When the body was off i sandblasted most the frame then also put self etching primer down. The interior is about as bare as it comes , 2 summit racing plastic bucket seats. The trans tunnel has damage where the old clutch blew up. Theres no heat. I didnt replace the heater core. But the gauges will work. Now down to the actual mechanics, The engine is a stock 1.3, 1.9 escort carb (definitly wakes motor up) RRO Jeep Eater 4WDSU kit with stage 2 ott steering. 5.38 gears lockrite in front , spool in rear. sj410 backing plates, rear disc brake conversion 36" iroks on trail ready beadlocks, Both the t-case mounts have been reinforced, rear has a anti-wrap bar.fold down windshield kit, door removal kit. has one of those fastback tops, a couple things truck wont have are seat belts,heat,possibly the stock roll bar im having a hell of a time getting the screws out. Truck will be 99% ready to wheel here by sunday next week. IF you figure what i have into suspension (2k)tires and bead locks(easily 1,200) but the rust free body , gears lockers all the reinforcements Im asking 4500$.

i know a guy who has a mint set of white wagon wheels 15x10 for a sami, ill ask what hes looking to get for em. A front locker with a sami sitting on 35's or above is a must, the tires just cause such a increase in drag when the damn thing isnt moving and just pushing mud. The only reason the front axle snapped in the first place is a buddy who pulling a friend out and had the wheel turned full lock and hammered it. But the truck has been on stock axles its whole life and only snapped one axle.
