Does anyone know what U-Joint is in the rear driveshaft of a stock LJ50? I am having a hard time finding one because the books don't go that far back. Or will I just have to find one by the dimensions of the yoke?

i've heard that hawk strictly suzuki is the place to go for lj parts.....i'm gettin ready to call him myself for some parts for the lj81 :smokin:

It looks like they're scanning the LJ50 Service Manual on www.LJ10.com right now. Maybe you can email the guy that runs the site and see if he can look it up for you. But yes, Hawk is the man when it comes to this stuff.

Zukiboy,

Lucky you found an lj 81 in the states. I have one as well (on lj10.com), much more common up here in Canada but still very rare. Cool rigs, good luck with it.

yeah.....i bought the one that was for sale in indiana on this board a little while back.......was a long trip to get it but was a good deal.....the truck is in amazing shape....just need a few little things and i'll be drivin it around town.....hopefully my monetary situations lets me keep it....i hate to have to sell it off after i went through the trouble to get it :D

He was on lj10.com as well, I figured it must have been the same one. Looks in great shape. I was told by a bunch of people to keep mine stock but no way, I want to drive it not just look at it. I have a samurai to pull the running gear out of and a fuel injected 1.3 as well, spoa, rock lobster t case, and it will sit on 32's, big enough for that truck, especially with sammy axles. Are you keeping it stock?

Sorry for the thread hijack, check out lj10.com and you will be able to find out all you need on your lj 50.

i'm gonna try to keep it stock as long as i can.....i just called hawk tho.....evidently there's not as many parts available as i'd hoped......sounds like mine might be gettin samurai drivetrain with the the stock stuff croaks as well...... :shaking:
