LOL!  That's exactly what my family and friends have called it for years.  It has a personality disorder for sure.

Forgot to mention the super comfy seats.  They are out of a chevy mini van 2005?  2006 vintage?  

Air down to 15 lbs and put it out in its element and it is unstoppable and reliable.  It will go farther than I'm willing to go.

A lot of work went into that. Got to respect that. What would it go through emissions as?

[bvanetten]

When it had all it body panels it went through emissions as a 1986 Samauri.  Back then I drove it in town so emissions were needed.  Once it was tubed out and we were using it mainly offroad and out of Maricopa county I registered it in Pinal county where emissions were not required.

It passed as a Samurai with a diesel engine in it?

[bvanetten]

had to get a class II (?) inspection on it.  And it got a new AZ VIN from that inspection.  As far as the DMV and Insurance is concerned it is a 1986 Samurai.
