How do I install larger wheels on samurai?
Well the only size you can run are 235/75 on a 15 in stock rim I have BFGoodrich A/T KO had to trim the bumper bracket only because it got hit in the front but the other front doesn't rub...if you want 30's you'd have to cut of the ends to the bumber bracket behind the bumber but then you lose your bumber and turn signals. You do lose articulation when you go up in size with out a lift kit though.

Why did the samurai cease to exist?
The movie "The Last Samurai" (2003, starring Tom Cruise) showed that the Samurai ceased to exist after the death of Katsumoto (played by Ken Watanabe). However, this was merely based on actual Japanese historical events which goes as follows (excerpt from the "Samurai" article in Wikipedia.org): Decline during the Meiji Restoration= Emperor Meiji abolished the samurai's right to be the only armed force in favor of a more modern, western-style, conscripted army in 1873. Samurai became Shizoku who retained some of their salaries, but the right to wear a katana in public was eventually abolished along with the right to execute commoners who paid them disrespect. The samurai finally came to an end after hundreds of years of enjoyment of their status, their powers, and their ability to shape the government of Japan. However, the rule of the state by the military class was not yet over. In defining how a modern Japan should be, members of the Meiji government decided to follow the footsteps of United Kingdom and Germany, basing the country on the concept of "noblesse oblige" (impolying that with wealth, power and prestige come social responsibilities). Samurai were not to be a political force under the new order. With the Meiji reforms in the late 19th century, the samurai class was abolished and a western-style national army was established. The Imperial Japanese Armies were conscripted, but many samurai volunteered to be soldiers and many advanced to be trained as officers. Much of the Imperial Army officer class was of samurai origin and they were highly motivated, disciplined and exceptionally trained. The last samurai conflict was arguably in 1877, during the Satsuma Rebellion in the Battle of Shiroyama. This conflict had its genesis in the previous uprising to defeat the Tokugawa Shogunate, leading to the Meiji Restoration. The newly formed government instituted radical changes, aimed at reducing the power of the feudal domains, including Satsuma, and the dissolution of samurai status. This led to the ultimately premature uprising, led by Saigō Takamori. Samurai were many of the early exchange students, not directly because they were samurai, but because many samurai were literate and well-educated scholars. Some of these exchange students started private schools for higher educations, while many samurai took pens instead of guns and became reporters and writers, setting up newspaper companies, and others entered governmental service. Only the name Shizoku existed after that. After Japan lost the World War II, the name Shizoku disappeared under the law on January 1, 1948.
How long did the samurai last?
The clan armies of bushi (warriors) existed as early as the 9th century. These were the original samurai, a term that would become popularized later. The Samurai would become an established social class known as thebuke prior the end of the 12th century when the first of the shogunate would rise following the Genpei War.
The samurai arguably never really ended. In the 1880s, the Meiji government was put into place by the efforts of samurai and they would be important both in the professional military and the administration as both warriors and scholars. However, with the disillusion of the clan fief system and several other feudal structures, the samurai lost most of their social position. It could be said that the era of the samurai ended with the failure of Saigo Takamori in the Satsuma rebellion of 1877. Likewise, the end of the samurai as a class was arguably when the government stipend that had taken the place of the fief system was commuted by the Imperial government in 1876, effectively ending their position as a social class. However, some of the samurai such as the daimyo retained their elite positions with the creation of the peerage system or kazkou. This would remain until it was abolished by the Allied Occupation Force and arguably all forms of socially constructed hierarchy or discrimination, with the exception of those considered part of the Imperial family by the Imperial Household Law of 1947, are illegal according to Article 14 of the Japanese Constitution of 1947.

He put the national government on his farm and created Washington D.C. He put it next to Georgetown University which his brother founded and near a lot of property he owned. Our forefathers were driven by money rather than patriotism. So I would say that he was in favor of a strong national government because it would make him money. After he and George Washington left office, they got in cahoots together with a scheme to link the east with the west with a "Potomac Canal". Another way for him and the "father of our country" to get rich quick.
Samurai originated in the land of Edo (Tokyo) Japan in the 12th century.

What did the samurai wear in battle?
The Samurai wore Kimono's for everyday events. Though during battle, they wore quite the contrary; The armour itself was made of diminutive steel or iron plates sewed together with silk. It was an actual job to sew these together, for the very few people who had such skill laced up the laces tightly ( they had to be extremely patient.) The people who worked as a samurai armour lacer actually got paid.They also also used quilted padding underneath to prevent injury from the blow the armor would stop. On most samurai masks there was a throat plate to protect this area during battle. They wore a winged vest, too. The mask was extremely furious and scary- but detailed. It was made of layers and layers of highly durable fibre glass and was then smothered in pigment.
