As most of you know We purchased a new vehicle in the beginning of March. It was difficult to find something to rival the awesomeness of the Ford Escort Wagon (with the infamous spinner hubcaps), but after many hours of searching, I (Michael) managed to find a vehicle that is older, has less power, less comfortable and entertains my kids as much as those plastic spinners. It was also cheaper, however, it has become somewhat of a small money pit with it's many aftermarket possibilities.

Here are a few before and after picks of our '86 Suzuki Samurai featuring Jack Henry Phillips.

For those of you who might care (non-women types) here are some 'essential upgrades' I have added since the original purchase:
-Calmini 5" reverse shackle lift kit (including shocks, springs, brake lines, drive line spacers and drop pitman arm),
-31x10.50 R15 ProComp MT Tires on Steel Wheels,
-Petroworks GRSII Low geared Transfer Case,
-Lockright locker in the rear,
-All new exhaust w/Thorley Header





Think it will fit in our trailer? The tape measure says it will. We'll find out soon.
