Didn't get out to the desert as often as we wanted this year for various reasons related to heavy work schedules, weekends and breaks used up for college visits, etc. Anyway, I had planned to spend some of the hot summer months freshening up the samurai (everything worked fine already) with some spare wheels I already painted, tires, and maybe a minor OME suspension upgrade. In fact, I had just replaced the transmission output shaft seal as a start, and then...........
In the middle of the night last week, some clown smashed into the back of it, knocked it into my other truck, left his car (undriveable), and took off on foot. Long story short, CHP is looking for him, insurance is waiting, and the samurai is sitting wounded in my driveway. If they total it, I will likely buy it back and try to get it going again, maybe by the time it cools off. At least there are lots of samurai parts out there...
