terry, if you get this any chance you have a pump and resivoir left over?
I forgot to say steering box too, could I buy those parts off you? I have nothing now ....
well, i am at a temporary stand still .....
i am getting 2 samurai's off a member here next week, one long wheel base and one short.... now i am thinking of using the hangers i made to inboard the front leaves on the LWB, use my good complete drive train, rims & tires along with the 3" lift springs and rear locker. also i will have extra calipers and rotors to switch the rear.
this will go together much faster and be functional for spring fever...in my head anyway:glasses:
i could do the same stuff to the SWB if it is a better candidate... have to see next week.

LWB chassis would need new driveshafts, no? Most folks end up stretching their wheelbase anyway, I think the LWB would make a better platform, and a little more unique.
EDIT: driveshaft - I presume it would just need a longer rear d-shaft and the front and jack-shaft from trans to t-case would be the same. I only ever dealt with SWB stuff.

if your looking for a power steering setup, i got a toyota pump and reservoir. also got a couple of toy gearboxes. one is mounted out of the frame and the other in. the 'in' frame box has a custom pitman that fits suzuki tierods. if interested i can sell as a full set or as bits n pieces.
so far my plan is to run sidekick power steering, but i will keep you in mind!:beer:
cool let me know. now that u mention it, i think i have a kick ps box/pump if that's the route u wanna go but i would highly suggest u go toyota. it'll be the same amount of fabrication to install one as a kick box and can be used with a kick pump easily. it's way stronger, less turns of the steering wheel to reach full crank, easier to find at the local junkyards, and when the time comes when u wann upgrade your axles, it'll be one less thing to do over again. basically toyota is the last box you will ever install on a sammi before u go full hydro.
i was under the impression i just had to machine an angeld shim that would have mounting holes for the kick box... i didn't think there was any other fabricating??? i'm not at that point yet, ill read up on it. thanks for the heads up!:beer:
yup. one of the holes lines up and the other two need to be drilled and sleeved. same as a yota box one of em lines up and the 2 others drilled. one thing i forgot to mention was that the toy box is mounted to the outside of the frame so if you wanted to swap to a bigger radiator, there won't be a ps box in the way
No I just eye balled with painters tape I had in the garage and the rads are the inside and outside of the roll of tape:stir:
I had some rattle cans in the garage so I sprayed a little black then blue over top.... Total half hour!
