how about a machined adapter plate to use a sidekick/ tracker 3 spd automatic tranny behind the 1.3 samurai engine? I'll loan you my samurai for as long as you need it for testing

I dont think anyone makes a SYE for the tracker/sidekick to run a samurai case (overall range reduction). Maybe make a cross member for the sami tcase plus the eliminator plus the intermediate shaft as a package.

I know a lot of people who would be intrested in a whole package like that instead of having to switch to a 2WD tranny (which are rare to find as it is).

I'd like to see a full belly skid plate or a panhard bar. Spidertrax sells a panhard bar but it is extremely overpriced. I'm in Tucson if you need a Samurai to look at.

How about a four link kit? Or maybe upgraded t-case frame mounts. I've torn mine off with my 6.5:1 t-case.

I'd love the idea of a good 4 link kit for a 95-101" wheelbase, but there are a bunch of great options out there right now for t-case cradle/ protection

Not the t-case cradle but the frame mounts themselves. Mine are thrashed and I've built new ones but it would be nice to get some beefy pre-made ones. I think a the 95-101" wheelbase would be great. I only know of a couple of companies that make the 4-link and they are way expensive.

JeffAny time for that Samurai panhard bar dealio? I want to fab one up with your parts but don't see a perfect choice of parts to use. On a spoa samurai axle the one end needs to attach on the spring mount top plate, the frame mount can be normal. I already have some dom and a welder.:smokin:
