    Gear Ratio for TJ with 33's

    I never did them in my TJ but it was running 33's with the six cylinder and they told me 456. If you have the 4 cylinder or are going to be running 35's in the future I would go with the 488's for sure. I would rather be a little low on the gearing rather than changing them out and not...

    Suzuki Samurai T-case gearing

    Thanks guys that makes my mind up. I was thinking about buying a complete case but don't want to wait two weeks or pay a core. I have a 94 so I already have the updated shaft and figured I might as well just change out the gears. I won't be able to order gears for a couple weeks, but Thanks...

    Suzuki Samurai T-case gearing

    So I got the spring over on my samurai on Saturday. I went with a Sky-manufacturing kit with new shocks and mounts, spring pads, etc. I am running 31 x 12.5 Swamper SSR's mounted on 10 wide steel wheels and am needing gears bad. I am having trouble deciding between 4.9 and 6.5 t-case gears...

    Stereos and rock buggies

    Any good stereo shop can sell ya a boat stereo cover they are clear plastic and have an o-ring to seal them. I know for sure AUDIO XTREME in Ogden has them and those guys are awesome to deal with. I would go that route to seal the front and seal the rest the best you can, like enclose it in...

    Identify these leaf springs

    They look like a set of suburban 6 inch lift springs from the rear. I know where there is a set I will check the part number on the ones I have seen. The ones I am thinking of came from tuff country not many companies make a 6 inch rear spring for a sub, they are different then the pickups.

    Rubicon Wheels

    I have seen em on ksl with tires from $700 to $1000. I think around $300 for the wheels is a good deal for the buyer if its ok with you

    Awesome good to know they are good to work with. They looked to carry pretty much everything you would need and seemed to have fair prices.

    4.9 from trail tough. I think the 6.5 are too low and the last sami I had used the 4.16 and it wasn't low enough. It did have 31" boggers on it, weber, header, exhaust. This one still runs better and passed inspection the first time, my 86 took about 5 tries to get through emissions. Have you...

    1 more pic I think it will be a fun build I just need to save up some money I want to put the lift and the t-case gears in at the same time. I am thinking of running the bushwacker jeep flares on it too. It has a sweet dent in the drivers flare and most the rest are messed up too. Probably...

    Pics of my baby samurai It is pretty much stock, has a K&N and a new flowmaster exhaust, had to have new exhaust for inspection. It also had a Polaris winch on the front bumper but I cut if off, ugly fab.

    They lift even under the axle by adding arch and stiffness to the springs. I measured before I took them off and after and it dropped almost two inches by taking the add a leafs out completely. Thanks for the advice it rides much better know. I had to buy new rear shocks as the ones in it...

    I thought about going with the yj springs but I didn't want to end up with that much lift, I think you can run 33's with that lift and I don't want it that tall for street driving. Anyone know if you can use yj springs and only get 4 to 5 inches of lift? Enough to run 31's

    Hey I just bought a samurai with add a leafs on it and doing a spring over in a couple months. When I do the spring over I will likely take the add a leafs out, don't need the extra lift. They make the sami ride like crap and was wondering if I should take em out, or flip em upside down. I...

    Rocky mountain pinstripes

    The best thing to do is just buff the scratches out with a rotary buffer or polisher. This is hard to do your first time and you can actually burn through the paint, so if you do it yourself be careful and don't press too hard. If this intimidates you meguirs scratch x has worked for me in the...

    Suzuki Samurai OTT Steering

    That is sweet. gets me going just looking at em. I had an 86 with the webber, a header, a cam and 4.16 and the new one is faster and runs better. the 94 has a couple spots of rust but is in good mechanical condition and pretty fair cosmetically. The whole thing is stock except for some longer...

    Suzuki Samurai OTT Steering

    Well I think I have decided to go trail tough for all my build parts. This would include their super deluxe spring over, 4.9 transfercase gears, and mighty kong mount. I am going to run on the street and only want to run 31" tires what do you guys think. Any pointers or things to consider?
