Nice flex on that Samarai.  Those things are pretty legendary in their off road ability.  Do you have lockers on that thing?

Thanks! Ya it does GREAT off road, not so well on road. But I welded both the front and rear diffs so it's locked front and rear. It's got 6.5:1 transfer case gears, 5:12 diff gears, custom 4 link rear, sitting on 33's and lots of other little goodies all built on a super tight budget by me in my driveway.....no baller status here. ;0)

Complete build thread can be found here, if you wanna check it out.

I thought that looked familiar. Zukicrawlers is awesome. Sold my Zuk last year. Just not using it enough. That thing has been up every trial at the Hammers. Now I miss it damn it. Same specs as you except I had lockers front and rear. Other than mine having more dents they are damn close.

Thanks! I love ZK without it I'm not sure how I would have built this rig. This Zuk has yet to let me down, it goes EVERYWHERE I point it, sometimes I seriously question a line and then give it a try and it walks right up it! It has been down more than it has been on the trails the past three years and I have considered selling it a few times but I just can't bring myself to do it, I just have too much personal time invested into it and when it is on the trail I love it so it's hard to think about letting it go so that's why I keep it. And I like my sheet metal so I try to keep it straight.

My parents have taken my old 93' Land Cruiser and having a Tundra engine and tranny put into it, front and rear ARB lockers, 3" lift, ARB sliders, front bumper, rear bumper, among a few other things.  I can't wait to see it and drive it.  I've got a rear locker on the FJ and the 3" lift sitting in my garage, a snorkel, 255/85/16 mud terrain tires and an ARB front bumper on order.  It won't be a rock crawler per se but it will certainly be a very capable FJ.  The 93' land cruiser when it's done will be unstoppable.  When I had it, only a center diff lock, it never let me down.  I took that thing through more places than my Z71 and F150 friends could go.  The only vehicle that could keep up was a jeep sahara an ex girlfriend of mine owned.  Honestly the Jeep would go a few more places than the Land Cruiser but it wasn't near as comfortable getting to the trail or on it.

1978 KZ650...20K miles on the clock...sat outside for 10 years before I found and rescued her...rough, but a work in progress

Had a buddy of mine buy a nice Honda Gold wing for get this $100 bucks, he was doing some work for a lady and saw it in her barn and ask if she would sell it.  He said the reason he got it so cheap was it was her ex husband and he used to go biking with his mistress on it before she found out, so she took it in the divorce with a few other things he liked, been sitting there for about 4 to 5 years..very nice bike, he had to replace a few items due to she hit it with a baseball bat.

got one of these, but it's been sitting in the back of the shop for 4 years now. 'start it a couple of times a year. I don't think I'll get a chance to ride again this year, but should be good to go next or even this fall.

not my bike, but it is exactly the same . . .

If you want to pay the freight both ways. (350 lbs)

I have to apologize that I pretty much ignored this thread initially, but now see that it went way beyond trucks that can't get over the speed bump by my driveway, lol!

Here's my toy, though like Pierre, I don't ride as much as I should.

I'm jealous.  Although if it only weighs 350 pounds... well at least it's a substantial hobby model.   

Wish I could remember the brand of press I used back in college.  The print bed on that thing was over an inch thick.

Speaking of classic "heavyweight" printmaking, I was introduced to lithography on some pretty serious slabs of stone.

Cool toys, like cool presses, are great.  But what you do with them is even better!  So here is the fruit of my toy!

Saturday - a two man limit of 50 trout
Sunday - catching 5 dozen crabs with my oldest son (5 years)

Nothing like South Louisiana...unless you are printing at our shop in the summer heat!!!
