Hi all, My name is Emma and after bumping into a fellow Samurai fan in Morrisons car park, I was pointed in this direction! :-) I've had my SJ for almost 2 years now and very sad to say... have done little with it. I modified the engine to a 1.6 Vitara last summer and just spent time (and all my money) repairing everything else that decided to go wrong after! Lol! Have now decided its definitely time to keep going with the mods, and next thing on my list is to get the gal lifted........ yes it is female as she is sooooo temperamental and has the attitude from hell! Was rather hoping I could get some opinions on what people have found works best? Im looking for a decent lift without going too much. Also wondered if there is anyone local who can fit such things or just does general mechanic work on Samurai's? Thanks, Em ;D

Thanks to all for the welcomes Well......... she must have heard me mention I was going to spend money on her other than just repairs, as I stuck my head under her the other day (wondering where all my oil keeps going) to see she's spewing it out all over my engine! And one of my rear light cables has disintegrated itself away from the bulb............ great. Just in time for my MOT thats due next month so now going to have to sort that before looking at a lift. You gotta love old vehicles! People keep saying to me, I should scrap it and get something else.............. they just don't understand the love I have for my Samurai ;D Abdul - thanks for the number, I shall deff be getting in contact....
