Has anyone broken a Samurai transfer case other than where the 4 bolts on the pass. side come loose?

Anyone broken a front output shaft or such?



I think I may have:(

Yea, we heard you played passenger part of last week. That sucks. :(
I bet I know what's going in your spare parts list.... :)
You probably got room on that flat bed to bolt a spare case down.... :D

Transfer case - Never leave home without one... or two.... :D

You mean, on the 4wd drive version..

mine is missing the front output shaft - and the factory is to blame for that one.

Output shaft- Check:(
4 bolt mount- Check:(
Spidertrax urethane/bolts- Check:(
Long side mount- Check:(
Dana 44's- Still good:D

I've been hearing rumors of a guy busting one in Moab last weekend.....:p

Good to see ya made it home oilburner. when are we going again.

4-bolt mount- broke it :smokin:
long side "beefed" arm- broke it :(
TrailTough Welded 4:1 gear-broke it :eek:
OutPut shaft- you're next :D

NO BROKEN T-CASE:D

In our haste to install the Klune & stock Samurai t-case, we either:

1. Did not tighten the driveshaft bolts at the t-case in front.

-or-

2. The 4 front driveshaft bolts got sheared off somehow.

Drivers Maintenance na must have been your helper

I got mine before all the whiny-asses started bombarding Klune with so many complaints & newbie installation questions that they decided to pull the product from the market until they can re-assess the situation. It's just like the Keltec diesel kit....:rolleyes:

I have been trying to appeal to them to screen their customers better - that buyers on this board would not give them any problems, but they are very perception-sensitive. You gotta understand that they only sell a handfull of gearboxes for Suzuki's, and the majority for Jeeps & other big-money guys.

Ive been trying to find one.....if people arent smart enough to put these in,then they need to take there rigs to a shop to do it......Ive built everything on my rig.................Let me know if you hear of one laying around somewhere!

Have any of you guys done anything to beef up the stock samurai t-case frame mounts? How many of you have experienced any sort of bending, tweaking, or breaking of them? I think it might be a good idea to beef them up with some gussets.
