Why a Samurai? Click here to read the reason for our obsession...
Special Thanks...
Almost all of the work on the Samurai was done by Dave and myself. However, there were times where our back-yard mechanic skills required a bit of help. Special thanks to the following people for their help...
Rick Schmidt at E&H Hitch (Burnaby 433-4611) - various welding and fabricating jobs that were too large for our small mig welder, specifically for help on the axles and shackles, steel for rear bumper, etc.
U&U Upholstery (New Westminster 521-3831) - re-upholster rear seat, custom light covers, soft-top repairs.
Gary at Crystal Glass (Burnaby 439-2425) - Front Windshield
Dave at Fibrenew (Burnaby 306-7413) - recoloring the dash and custom interior fabricating. (Yes he is one of the owners of the SPAMuri)
Dan at Senior Buff's (Burnaby 437-4463) - giving us a ton of checkerplate aluminum and various body metal
Al and Russ at 4Off Road (Surrey) - finding us a straight front axle
Todd at Trimline (Burnaby 293-1330) - custom SPAMURI stickers
Randy and Mel at Breeze Industries (Coquitlam 540-7778) - custom bent steering draglink, cutting and re-welding needed for 4.16:1 transfer case.
