      with Brent May Newfield Axle Installation So, you own a Samurai, and you love to wheel it.  Maybe you have invested in a sweet set of gears and bigger tires.  Now it goes anywhere you want it to, and the once great fire roads that you used to like to explore just […]

  Samurai Security Console with Bill Johnston Tuffy Security Products has a reputation for designing and building some of the most well built vehicle security products on the market. The open design of a convertible Samurai just screams out with the need for someplace to store valuables when leaving it unattended.    Now they have […]

      Zook Droop with Team Zuki — Drew Huber In the never ending quest for more wheel travel I decided to go all out and install a set of Summit Offroad Missing Links. After talking with Glenn I felt that I could tackle this project on my own, I also knew that Mike […]
