What get yota axles and put ring and pinions in them. That does not help with the hole locker thin sarg. My truck is my daily drive. I have no problems with the strength of the kick parts i just want all the wheels pullin you know what i mean.
I can change either of the front axles on trail in 40min and i'll never brake a rear axle because My rubber is still quit small considering the rubber you all run.
And I would really like to keep my zuki all zuki. Thanks for the info sarg.

I see where yer tryin to go dude, and its commendable that u would prefer to stay zuk, but from what ive seen the ifs front diff wont hold up to much so if u lock it no matter what tire size u run it might be cause for disaster. What about a compromise and build a solid front hybrid axle with a fozzie lockers and manual locking hubs?? throw a spool in the back and call it a day, you'd be well under $1000 and have a more flexible stronger truck and then spend the other $1800 on bling ;)

Well the rear is welded already and like i said i have only broke 1 axle in a year and a half and about 2500 km in off roadin HARD. I got the axles for 140.00 each
and have a 2 year warranty with them so i just change it and give it back.
But the hybrid thing sounds good. Got any connections. :D

I think I know someone with a set of spare Yota axles. :D

Save your money. You'll get the itch to go bigger before the money on the arb is justified.
If you are intent on spending the cash on an ARB for bling then put one in the front and take out the welded rear and buy a lockright.
The best scenario would be to go Toys with a relativley small tire 33's and throw in a sammy 4-1 ( 12% ) or 5-1 ( 24% ) or 6-1 (32%) t-case gears. the percentage numbers in brackets are the reduction you get in high range which will help you with the bigger tire and your highway driving without swapping R & P's. Still all cheaper than one ARB!!!!!

I got the sammi t-case ( thanks cuz) so i'll most like do that. thanks fullload.
P.S Not about bling bro, All about practicality. Oh and i heard the lockrite is REALLY anoying.

Practicality won't pay the mortgage or get gas in the truck to get you to the trail. This way you can buy the locker and get the gears and buy a decent set of tires that are suitable for your axles.
Your right the lokrights are annoying and so are the easy lockers, but they save your rubber and are 3 times cheaper. For that alone makes me forget about the annoyance. :D

I know this is all just my opinion and you will do as you wish but i am bieng honest when i say this but how many others do you see with ARB's Front and rear in a suzuki axle on this site. Sjkrawler is the only one i know and he is in the rear only on a sammy axle and he powers the locker with an air pig. ( the little round $30.00 ones you get at crappy tire and fill up at the gas station)

:)

[extremekickin]

I 'm goin to go gearing and 31's I'm goin to leave the rear welded the cost for tires is worth the quiet.(to me) and just so ya know I do appreciate your oppinion a great deal. Thanks again fullload.

Just feed a handfull of nuts & bolts in through the fill hole and she'll lock up right away. Ignore the noise it'll go away in a few hundred feet. You won't have to worry about tire wear anymore either. :thefinger :D

[extremekickin]

Ya almost like the lead you put in the front diff. :thefinger :thefinger
That endend up brakeing free :beatup:

[86Sami]

Don't have a Kick yet but I am also considering ARB lockers. Will have enough $$ to do it and it is hard to do without them once you have become accustomed to using them.
