Can anyone direct me to a shop in town that works on Suzuki Samurai or Toyota differentials? I need some work done on mine and not sure who to call. Thanks in advance, Terry

I run YJ's all around. They seem to be the best all around spring choice for a SPOA Sammie. I know some run CJ springs in the rear and Sammie rears up front. Toy springs are really long and require more extensive fab work than YJ's. Rotozuk on the Pirate board ran Toy springs on his rig...

91 Toyota what? I think the IFS truck box will work and many guys have good luck with the FJ60 box. Either take substantial fab work. There is an excellent thread on Zuwaharrie bbs on an FJ60 install: http://bbs.zuwharrie.com/content/topic,19902.0.html I use an older Celica box which works...

I have a starter that is nearly new that I put in right before I swapped in a 1.6. I'd let it go for $40. pm if you are interested.

Any news from this meeting?

I run 2.5 inch Rockcrawler steel wheels from Spidertrax on my YJ SPOA Zuk. It was necessary for me to run 33 x 12.5 tires with the wider YJ springs without rubbing. I don't know about 31 x 10.5's and stokc springs though. http://www.spidertrax.com/drivetrain_whl.htm

Thats What I needed to hear, thanks.

Can anybody tell me what vehicles use the 5 on 4.5" bolt pattern? I have heard Bronco II, Ranger, some Jeeps but not sure which ones? Any help would be appreciated! TerryMac

Looks like Little Moab, not sure which obstacle.

That adds up to $2,732 Samizook and I'll wager you can weld and fab on your own and were able to make the perches, shock mounts, hangers, etc. to make this swap fly. Jeff has said he can't do that himself so you have to figure how much Von or JR or whoever is going to charge him to make a D44...

Alright, since someone dropped the big $$ bomb and because of Jeff's admitted lack of fab skills, this is what I suggest he spend the $3500 on: Trail Tough "Big Rear End". Sidekick pumpkin, DOM tubes, Ford axles, gears and ARB for $1750 Trail Tough "Big Suzana". Sidekick pumpkin, DOM...

According to Jeff Cardall, he is already running upgraded Calmini cro-mo shafts in the stock housings. Apparently he damaged his rear sidegears and started this whole thread because of that.

Jeff, You need to find a deal like this: http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&postid=1703282#post1703282

One more thing, I wouldn't sweat the axle width thing, this Zuk is on Toyota axles: http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&postid=1684655#post1684655 You just need to choose the right rim offset.

Jeff, You can break anything, even with a 1.3 zuk, if you try hard enough. DSI on the Pirate board, has D60s under his 1.3 zuk and he TWISTED the shafts!! As far as affordablility and ease, it depends on what you are comfortable with and the connections you have. Toyotal axles are similar...
