120" wheelbase? - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

brentster16 · 12-13-2006, 06:18 PM

was just wondering if a 120" wheelbase is TOO long? does anyone know what a early 90s extra cab toyota longbed? is it close?

abwmike · 12-13-2006, 06:48 PM

the wheel base of an extracab yoter is 121.9" and 103" for a regular cab.

What size tires will you be using? I would say you would need abtleast 42s or so with that long of a WB. JJ

abwmike · 12-13-2006, 07:29 PM

yah i agree with hardline. youd need some big meats. somethin around 100 would probably be sufficient

brentster16 · 12-13-2006, 10:22 PM

anyone know if longfields can hold up to 42 inch tires? or even 40s?

brentster16 · 12-13-2006, 10:25 PM

plan is, im gonna make a 3' flat bed behind tailgate, leaving zuk cab the same as stock except with some time extensive fender trimming/new inner fenderwells.

Wow, 120" on a samurai?
I just stretched my samurai wheelbase to 104" and thought that was long, lol. Go ahead and laugh at the stock suspension and tires , I just put in an order to okiezuk for his coil suspension kit and will run 37s when i am done.

I like the looks of stretched sammy's...... Looking at getting a few parts trucks right now and may be toying with this myself.....

I agree with ya hughmungas, I think 120 is a little long....100 -104 is about right...

supazuk94 · 12-21-2006, 10:41 PM

120 on a sami ?? that would almost be like welding two frames end to end!

OffRoad · 12-21-2006, 10:47 PM

i think that stock sammy is awesome!

"Woohoo! Zuki-Limo!"

Mine is at 99 inches right now and on 38x11 boggers. Rear's linked now, when I link the front it will take it to 109 inches. With air shox it should have plenty of droop to drag me through most stuff, and at least it won't feel like it will go over backwards easily......
