This.
Well, what I really want is wider axles, wider than toys. Wider stance would make it less likely to roll over, correct? I figure stock 1 ton axle won't need chromoly upgrading if there's a Suzuki pushing it.
Anyways
Picked up some princess auto fenders on sale for the rear inner wheel wells. I also started working on the bodywork around the window frames. I pulled out bondo, silicone, and plumbers putty from the corner, made up a patch, ready to weld and it started to rain. I wish I had a garage.

I have a complete Toyota 22RE with harness and computer, transmission and maybe t-case sitting in my garage. I am pretty sure it will go cheap.
Hey , I resemble that remark! lol

So you agree?
No I disagree , I am running tones, detroit in the front, full spool in the rear, 35 spline chromoly axles and longfield joints 5:13gears. with a 1.6 sidekick engine a sammy transmission and 6.5 transfer-case. I like the combo.

Resent?

It is a joke play on words, hence the lol because my truck "looks" (resembles) like that remark. The original saying is "I resent that remark" which has a negative connotation to it. So you change the "resent" to "resemble" as a joke.
I assume you have not heard of this before? But I do not want to make an ASS of U or ME. LOL (another play on words)

If you are staying light and keeping the smaller drivetrain than why not a full width 44 and 9 inch. Lighter and more clearance and good up to a 39" tire built right with the combo you are thinking of..
In talking to Jean-Guy at the meeting, the answer is right there. Rather than build any other axles, just go to stock tons and forget about upgrades. If it's really what he wants, give'r hell. I still think Toys and Dirty30's/Longs's are cheaper/lighter, but certainly less unique.

I agree that toys may be lighter but I don't think much cheaper by the time you buy the longs, knuckles ect.
They are also really narrow. Don't get me wrong though, they are great axles for a Sami.

I do not have a sammy frame, it is all 2"x 2" x 3/16 wall square tubing, with 1.98" d.o.m. 1/8 wall tube for the roll cage. and 14 gauge diamond plate for the body panels. Smaller than a sammy frame. And no issues with stress. Sammy frame should not have any issues.
Slow progress lately. Work is insane, so when I get home I have no energy to even set things up in the driveway.
So I gutted the garage of almost everything non automotive. Did some body work on the cowl, and now took off the windshield for further work. For the hinged windshield owners, do you also have to take out 12 bolts to fold it down??? What a pain.

12 bolts? Holy crap, the TJ is 2 plus the ones for the roll bar which attaches to the windshield.
Glad to see you can get it in? I was lucky that I could squeeze everything I worked on last winter in my garage. If you ever need a hand let me know and I can try to get out. Wouldn't mind try wrenching on a zuk.

jg what are you doing with the short wheel base? I could use some sheet metal to cut out for patches on mine...... ill give you cash, beer or parts in trade for some sheet metal! I cut the back off mine again to redo it like we talked about in the summer....do you have a tail gate I could use, condition is not important, just need the shape.
