It is always something. 

oh yea for sure. but she is all back together now.

first time i took her muddin! went very well, had alot of jeep lovers making fun of the samurai, but i was the only one who didnt have to get towed out, and right now its all stock except the lift and 33's!!! and i only saw one jeep go in the pit where i did, and he had to be pulled out! i laughed at them afterwards (:


but i burned the clutch out bc the clay was so darn sticky in the parking lot where the mud trucks were parked, and found i need to gear it. thinking 4:16:1 transfer case gears bc i still want to drive it on the road during the summer. im going to spool the rear and Lockrite Locker in the front. so got some work to do to her now.

33's?  They look like 37's in picture 4&5.
 

oh yea that clay was piled on them lol

well just ordered my new high performance clutch from Petroworks! should be in next week. going to get my YJ springs rebushing-ed sometime next week and get my new shocks within the next week!!! woo hoooo its like christmas  going on an ordering spree, lockers, gears & new tires to come soon!

Anyone have any reviews on Wild Country MTZ's?! they look like they'd be pretty good.

well still waiting on the clutch to get here, should come in on the 20th. and i just ordered my 6.5:1 t-case gears  cant wait to get those and get em in! the next thing to order will be my locker for the front and spool for the rear. i'll post pictures and what not of both the clutch and flywheel install and the gear installs once i do them.

Goog luck installing every thing, you'll love those 6.5:1s with the big rubber

Not sure about the Wild Country MTZ's but I have 33x12.5x15 TSL's on my 82 sj410 and they grab, dig, and clean out way better then the 31x10.5x15 BFG KM2's on my 89 two door sidekick. I think I'll get the LTB's or the Boggers for my next set.

well my 6.5:1 gears are scheduled to be in Monday, i just ordered the rest of my YJ conversion and thats scheduled to be in on Friday. so pumped. i cannot wait to get all these shiney new parts in my samurai and get em dirty!   pictures will be posted when i get the parts in.


but for now heres the new clutch, flywheel, clicky start fixer, shock mounts and the new shocks i bought!

new 6.5:1 gears and Mighty Kong t-case mount just came in last night! going to take them to my buddy jakes house and have him help me put them in, dont know exactly when but hopefully soon. new clutch and flywheel are in the samurai, just waiting for new input and output shaft seals then that'll be done. and the new missing link set up for YJ springs should be here Friday. got a long week ahead of me putting this stuff together!  excited though.

heres a picture of the new clutch and flywheel in. i'll post a picture of the gears and Mighty Kong when my phone charges.

Looking good!

thank you 

picture of the gears xD

and got my YJ leaf springs back (:

heres some pictures of the YJ leaf spring conversion! (also did the rear but didnt take any pictures)

question, the steering arm now hits the leaf spring when i turn left, only allowing me to turn half way to the left, what is the fix?

just a few more pics of the conversion.

the conversion went pretty easy in the front, unbolted well in the front. new springs and missing links bolted right back in. the rear on the other hand was bad, had to grind off the heads of the bolts for both springs, things were welded together with rust, the rear seemed it hasnt been touched in awhile. but once it was apart the new stuff bolted right in easily. front shock mounts were already in a good position, the Doetsch shocks have 13 1/2inches of travel so at sitting height i have 7 3/4inches of shaft showing. Leaving me 5 3/4 inches of drop left. seems like it will work fine. have to weld the new shock mounts in the rear, not sure what my shocks will be set at yet. but its all going together pretty smooth. Putting the 6.5:1 transfer case gears in this week, the back in the samurai, have to weld the front and rear bumpers on and put my tail lights in the tail gate. not much left to do
