I'm a newbie here - an old bugger with a totally stock standard 1993 Samurai that I use on the farm. I love my Samurai with a passion - have owned it for ten years and don't ever want to replace it with anything more powerful or sexy. I get a lot of enjoyment driving it around the farm in marginal conditions. I guess I'm showing my age when I say I don't want to change anything on it or add any mods, I like it just the way it is. I like the feel of driving it in 4WD (good gear ratios) and I'm often surprised at where it will go.
The only work done on her since new is to repair a leaking water pump and replace the radiator core. About five years ago I thought I had cooked the motor when the water drained out of the radiator and she overheated with lots of strange expensive-sounding noises and black smoke coming off the head. But when the head was removed no damage was found and she has gone well ever since. That must be one bullet-proof little motor!
