Forgot to say that I stretched the wheel base 1" up front, I'll get some pictures it to day.

And I'm almost finished welding in the floor, just three little pieces, would of had them in yester day but the MiG welder ran out of gas, so I'll get more to day and pick up some more steel to finish the rocker panel. (And the checker plate steel is 1/8" thick, a little over kill but it was free :). The tire doesn't rub the back of the wheel well thanks to the extra inch of wheel base and cuting firewall/rocker panel back

I got the rocker panel welded up, a littel more of the firewall/wheelwell welded, and the seat put in...

Thanks Wild, ya they shouldn't rust out any time soon :)

just got a bit of grinding on the rocker panel done, I think it looks better with 2" cut off the bottum of it I want to paint the inside once all the welding and grinding done (that's why there's no end caps on the rocker yet). Also got the lights on the roof just to see what they would look like, I'm going to make a stronger mounting bracket that folds down for in tight spots...

Nice use of the stock windshield mounts to hold your light rack.  :)

  Hey Jordan, a bunch of us are going out wheeling in the mountains west of Rocky on Oct 1&2.  Theres about 7 Zuks so far.  I posted an ad on kijiji about it.  If you are interested get in touch with me.   It's a blast and all Suzukis.

Thanks Drone, but it didn't work, the mounts were to weak and the hood hit the lights before the mounts.

Ok so I have a question, should I go straight to Toyota diffs or do you think Sami diffs with chromeolly shafts will be strong anuff to take a good beating with the 33's? I don't want to rig the Sami diffs up with lockers and HD shafts and then have to get a set Toyota diffs.

33" + "a beatin'" = Toyota or D44

Good luck, Eric

I run 33" tires with stock rear axles and choromoly fronts without an issue.  Stock 970cc 4cyl and 6.5:1 t-case with 5.12 gears.  But if I was building axles over again from scratch I would probably just go with Toyota's to begin with.

Thanks, Toyota's with 5.29's, spooled rear, locker and a high pinion 3rd up front are in the plans.

And my spider gears aren't welded any more, (broke the welds).

That is why I usually recommend just spending the extra bit of money on a mini-spool, or full spool for Toy axles.  :D
