[Fullload]

Hey is there anyway that we could get a close up pic and maybe a description of how you mated the output of the kik tranny, to the flange of the sammy case?
Thanks.

[MLC]

that was last years build ....i might be able to get a better pic .KAC made the connecter. he used the slip shaft from the kick cut the ears of then trued the end he the took a old sj yoke machined a hole in it so he could press the slip into the yoke then welded the while they were in the press of coarse we discoverd a better way to do it .. we should of took the slip and welded it to a piece of 1/2 in or 3/4 plate then machine a new yoke ....... mine had a bad wobble in but we got good now ...probly will make one with the plate steal later

[MLC]

we got the tracker of the stands and sitting on the coils looks sweet ....now to get the pan hard bar on the beast :bang: :bang: :bang:

[KAC]

This is Kirby-Iwasn't able to delete the last post

[zc911]

that looks awsome, thats the nicest tracker i ahve ever seen :D

[Fullload]

Ahhh pics. looks good. how thick is the square tube used?

[MLC]

thanks zc911..there isn't a lot trackers or samys done up in this neck of the woods.....:)


the square tube is 1/4in ... it should plenty don't you think...

[MLC]

we finaly got the pad hard bar on today... it was the hardest part of the whole job ...but it is on there:D
now to take all apart and really put the new welder to work:)

[MLC]

i got the rear started this weekend ...made the stock lower arms longer ..going to get rid of that stupid controll arm link and go with a three link with a pan hard bar.....

[Mud Lite]

Why Square tubbing for the arms? Are you doing the same arm on both sides? What are you useing at the frame end for a mount? What are you using for a pan hard?

[MLC]

i used the square tube because it was easy to get ..not many places to get steel in this neck of the woods .... it is a little easier to work with both arms are the same we did the ford thing on the rear of the arms . the pan hard rod is made of square tube it;s 1 1/2

[MLC]

do you think it will work ... can you see any unforseen problems .. some in put would be great from the king of the rocks ...

No problem :beer:
i don;t doubt that, i have NEVER seen another modded zook on the roads around here, hell i ahve only seen 2 or 3 stock samurais

[Mud Lite]

You may find that the double trussed arms won't flex with a darn. What you might want to do is keep the trussed arm on the passender side and use a single pivoted arm on the drivers side. One side will hold the axles, while the other lets it articulate.

[MLC]

thanks for the advice....

Why panhard if its a 3-link ?

[MLC]

the top link is only going to have 2 pivet pionts one on the top of the rear housing and one on the cross member that holds the second tcase not enough room for a triangle type top link.... i can't think of any other way to do it .......

[MLC]

i got the back pretty much done this weekend .... some new shock mounts and some more welding should do it ..i made my top link adjustable.(i think it's a good idea for setting the pinion angle.. can't hurt )

[MLC]

my birf rings came today thanks lil'beast.can't wait to get them on. now i'm waiting for my wheel spacers to come :bang:

[MLC]

hey Fulload i used stainless for my rear shock perches......i now how much you love stainless:D :D

[Fullload]

mmmmmmmm stainless!!!!

[MLC]

i knew you would like the stainless Fullload.. i finaly got the rear suspension done today ... a little tweeking in the front a gear change,and wheel spacers ( if they ever come ) should do it

[MLC]

i finally got my wheel spacers yester day he is a couple pics if you care to take a look o ya i finally got a digi camera too..

[MLC]

well that didn't work :bang: ill try again

[MLC]

[MLC]

[MuddMachine]
