Man thats an old pic of chris' SAMURAI heres what it looks like now:



As for spending a ton of money on it, dunno if I agree with you there. I dont know how much money Chris spent on his but I'm bettin its well less than a stock used VX, and to the best of my knowledge he doesn't own a shop unless he opened it recently. Samurais are incredibly cheap and easy to build. I'm building one from scratch for a customer right now, and even with a full tube job, toyota minitruck axles tranny and tcase, Tacoma engine, Lockers, gears, Rear 4 link with coils and a 21" stretch job it will still be well under 10 grand INCLUDING the whopping $400 purchase price. That my friends is why samis are so popular to build.

Oh and the cable is for the winch of the guy behind him, that waterfall is pretty much a mandatory winch hill. Personally I'd rather have him drive my cable up, than try to walk it up that rock
