		<description><![CDATA[Just a few pictures to show how the top of the tub is being fixed. I guess at some point in the past one of the previous owners (POs) had either snapped the hard top bolts or the soft top snaps in the top of the tub. Then, in order to "fix" the problem the PO drilled a massive hole and inserted a rubberized well nut into the hole for the hard top to be attached. The soft top was definately not an option with this set up. This was very annoying to me - I wanted the soft top!]]></description>

Here is a table that shows the various gearing combinations with this setup. Thanks to Mike Strickland for the template spreadsheet that he provided for this set of tables. These numbers are based on the following configuration:

		<description><![CDATA[I got really fed up with the stupid little light holder that Samurais come with. So much so that I decided to take matters into my own hands and make a custom bumper.<br />
<br />
The design of the bumper had to meet several criteria:

                  <td><span class="sp">It has to be relatively easy to make</span></td>
                </tr>
