Kicker 3 install question

mudmonger · 01-16-2005, 07:06 AM

I got my kicker 3 back and started putting it in. Everything was going fine until we got to the Sammy t-case with TT's Mighty Kong. Nothing would line up so we install just the case. We then cut the 3 welds that hold the arm on the right side of the Mighty Kong to the rest of it and tried lining up the holes on the arm to were they bolt to the t-case. We found that the holes on the t-case are 2-3 inches to low now. I know I have the t-case mounted to the kicker 3 correctly becuase we tried rotating the t-case couter clockwise to the next bolt hole but we ran into the bottom of the Samurai before we got to the next holes. Anyone run into this issue or know what could be wrong?

Thanks for the help.

So It's not a matter of the two cases not going together, but the kong working with the kicker 3?

I installed my Kicker3 into the Mighty Kong. I had to do some grinding and relocation of the passenger arm mounts, I will try to dig up some pictures. The Kong is the only support I have for the T-cases and transmission.

The issue is that if I get the Mighty Kong in correctly then the 2 cases don't line up right. If I get the t-case in correctly then the holes are about 2-3 inches too low to line up with the holes on the arm for the Might Kong.

Samiguy,
Pictures would be great. Thanks.

If the Mighty Kong does not work with the OTT Kicker3 then how do the stock arms? The orientation of the T-case on the Samurai frame is the same........or so I thought.
