I'll be doing a full buildup on a sami next weekend and will post pics and all the other goodies, see my post "project super sami" for the specs. If you have any specific q's as far as frame outboards or extensions go, I can try to answer those for you before then Gozuki 03-06-2002, 09:09 AM easy swap, once you narrow the front to match the rear...

ROCKILLER 03-07-2002, 02:58 PM I swapped to D44's and I love em, the widthe is great and I dont have to worry about birfields. I used YJ's all around but I'm going to replace the fronts with something with an offset pin. It's not extremely difficult to do but plan onit taking longer and costing more than expected. one of the main arguements is about the front axle. I left it alone and ground down a portion of the housing for the spring over. I haventhad any problems with it. | |
