I have been offroading for over 15 years now. Always with a Suzuki Samurai. I love the box design and 'back to basics' setup. Due to it's light weight and compact dimensions, it is a ideal offroader and can compete with other big and powerfull 4x4's.
The only disadvantage is his tiny 1.3 engine. Enough to play around, but in competition a little slow and lack of torque.
In the future we like to do more racing and trophy's, so it was time to start with a project.
Here we go:

Nissan Patrol 3.3L axles:

LWB Suzuki Samurai to start with:

Discovered some rust at the rear-end:

Measuring the 4-link:
