OK, I'm pissed.

Really pissed.

Really, really pissed.

You Samurai people look down on LJ's. Kinda like the Heep assholes look down on Samurai owners.

Wait a minit. Mebbe not quite THAT bad. But pretty bad.

Hey, we are Suzuki people too.

I got 3 LJ's. (well, I got a Sammi and an X90 too, but that ain't for this topic.)

My son has an LJ. A coupla friends have LJ's.

Anybody wanna see a Sammi go up against an LJ???

I mean like for like. I got a bone stock LJ10 with a 24hp 2 cylinder open diff that I'll put up against a bone stock Sammi.

I got a mostly stock LJ20 TT with welded rear and locked front I'll put up against a comperable Sammi.

I got a built LJ10 with a "big block" 3 cylinder Geo Metro engine, big tires, locked both ends, etc........

My son has an LJ80 with a 1.0 engine, welded rear, open front.

A friend in Arkansas has a LJ20 beater...welded rear.

Whattay'all think? Shall we have a shoot out???

I think the only place an LJ suffers is on the freeway.

You take yours on the Freeway???

oh no, not me.

Wilson WILL do 57mph. Downhill.

Hey Smuz,
   I know how you feel.. I kinda get looked down on a lot for wheeling an IFS trooper... 

Wilson's got guts and really impressed me.  I'd take up the "challenge" just to get out wheeling with you and ur son again, that was a blast!!

hey now, i love to argue but i cant, even when smuz is provoking some. 
i like anything different, so i cant say a bad word about any of em.

but if i had to pick it would definetly be the blue smoker, of
strong words, provoking, smuz.

that dosent mean i agree with you either,   buddy.

  i'm up for that, if i can ever get away from work that is... my bone stock '87 samurai once did 75 mph on the interstate downhill with a tailwind and an 18 wheeler pushing. 

I had an awesome tail wind going North on our way home from KSRocks 04/22.    I was having trouble staying under 70.    Did you notice it?

actually, mine does 70 pretty regularly. it's all it can handle though. kinda surprised me to see 75. i always take a gps with me so i know the speedo was right. 75.4 mph according to the gps.

Wilson once held 75+ mph all the way across Kansas on I-70.

He was sitting on the trailer going "Wheeeeeeeee!!!!!" while the Purple Pig was pickin 'em up and layin 'em down.

I have a bone stock sami.. Come to St. Louis, I will compete

Maybe you've just got an inferiority complex...  kind of like some short people.
Maybe Samurai people are just envious because you're cuter than they are.
Maybe you're just elitists (my shit is rarer than your shit).

All I know is that smaller and lighter is good, and LJ's have more less than I do. 

An 18 wheeler drafting off a sammi. That would be a picture!!

that's exactly what i was thinking. get the hell out of his way before that thing sucks me up into the air intake.

I haven't done that since the National Speed Limit was 55 mph. But imagine 430 miles at 6000+ rpm! But wait! There's more!
I also drove my L51 from Marquette, MI to Asheville, NC; Virginia Beach, VA; Washington, DC and back to Marquette one summer. But I stayed off the freeway when I could... about 2700 miles. The L51 could do 62 mph on the flat, no wind, no passengers and with a LJ20 Diff.

But you guys only care about off road.
Way up North, when I last lived there, I used to take my LJ out on the Snowmobile trails. Keep in mind this is a compacted crust on top of 4 feet of snow. I did slide off once, and thought I was gonna be buried. Good thing I had a friend along, we just dragged the front end back up. And off we went!
