It took me a couple weeks to get this going but I finally worked it.It took many moons to mod this thing out but it was definetly worth it.All I have to do now is figure out what I want to do with the paint.Thanks to everyone helped me through this build and gave me advice for all my questions......Ride on

Lookin' pretty sweet!
I like the monochromatic black look.

Hey, is that an Xterra Rock Buggy being made in the background...!?
I had my own lil' 4x4 custom shop in Colorado a few years back.
I built 4 link suspensions, complete rock buggies, roll cages, rock bumpers and tire carriers, etc.
Man I miss my vintage box '77 Bronco on 38's with 138:1 final drive. I mated two transfer cases together. That thing could climb some serious canyon walls.

Hey thanks.Actually I think that was a Subaru frame being modded for racing.The shop where my buddy works does alot of roll cages and exo's for crawlers.We're working on turning a Suzuki samurai into a badass crawler this week.

I once built a JK Samurai with full width Ford axles pushed to the very edge of the frame on each end with 4 links front and rear. Then for an engine, I swapped in an '89 Thunderbird Super Coupe V-6 (which was just a 302 with 2 cylinders missing) and all the EFI trimmings. Cool part was the motor came from the factory with an Eaton-Roots twin screw blower on top. that rig became a true rock spider. Sorry, didn't mean to get off topic with your OCC build. Your photos bring back some cool memories. Nice bike , btw.... =-]'

Hey is that a slightly different variation of my derailer mod? Yes!! sweet it looks great man!

Samurai's are badass mudders and crawlers because of their teeny tiny wheelbase. I built mudders for years trying to get to a hidden cave system up by where I live, never got to the damn caves until I built the Samurai.

Good Job Decedent. Like I said they are kind of a pain in the butt to build, but they do make a pretty sweet ride when they are done. Looks like you even got a front brake on it. Was you able to use the exisiting holes that were in the front fork?
I guess I like the trouble it takes to build them since I have two more in the basement to build. Probably wait till winter on them.

OOO, yeah that brings to mind one thing. Have you taken that thing out yet? The reason I ask is because your brakes are on the front side of the forks. Just a suggestion but at 30 MPH you might want those behind the forks. Personally I saw to much flex having them up front, therefore I have mine on the backside of the forks. I feel safer with them there.

Brakes are always on the front side of the front forks.
