| February 2002. I was looking for a daily driver (to reduce the number of miles I was putting on my 2002 Corvette. A friend of mine said "we should buy a couple cheap Samurais and build them up and do some 4 wheeling." I thought "What the hell, my Mom had one back in the 80s and it was a pretty decent vehicle." I was driving by a Buy Here Pay Here place and saw this nice looking Sami. I drove it home the next day for $2,000 cash. This is the only photo I have of it stock. |  |
| March, 2002. Within a month I had done enough research on lifts to start the process. I decided to go with a Spring over axle (SPOA) lift from North Coast Offroad instead of a shackle reversal. We first removed the steering components and the front axle. |  |
| Next, we cut the spring perches off with an angle grinder; always wearing our OSHA approved protective clothing and shoes as you can see in the picture. |  |
| We then ground the surface of the axle housing for some good clean welding points and then welded the new spring perches on. |  |
