i remember doing this on my samurai :P

hope your drive shaft doesnt fall out when you're flexing! with the slip yolk it has happened a few times

 

Simply put, time and money. I had bought a set of Toyo axles but sold them because I was laid off from my job and needed to make a vehicle payment. Time being it was just easier to go ahead and build the Sami axles Chromo shafts w/ gears. I don't plan going any bigger than a 35" tire for now. When I do go bigger (36-37") then I'll do the swap along with other stuff. Unless I break every time I turn around.


LOL, yeah. I'm going to have a friend that works here locally for Truck Bodies to go ahead and lengthen my shafts for me. That should fix it.

You still own the Samurai? I remember seeing pics of it in here somewhere.

 

yeah, still have it... about to sell it soon though. i hope. just been really busy lately.

 

FFFFUUUU .... Noooo.....

Nah, I hear ya. Gotta do what you gotta do. DO you have any pics pf it other than the ones posted?

 

OK, So we got some more done to the Zuk yesterday. (1-5-11)

I'll go ahead and let the pics do their thing.

Till next time, thanks for looking!

 

Dude that looks so fucking good!!

Can't wait till this is completed!

 

Looks sweet man. Glad to see you got it on all fours now. I say we needa get a group together for a spring trip to crozet! Im bout ready to head back up there.

 

Thanks Shaun. Shouldn't be much more....

I'd love that! I have a couple more issues that I need to work out first. Hopefully I'll be ready. (completely)
If you ever have a empty seat, I'd love to go and check it out. Its been forever since I've been out there.

 

Sounds good, depending on work schedule, me and dad may try to get back up there next month, so maybe you could come along with me then. I always can use a good co pilot / spotter

 

Sounds good to me! I'm always down to hit the trails! Just let me know.
