Samota build - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

samota87 · 03-13-2007, 11:42 PM

So I picked up a sami tub and frame from toyotanut a few weeks ago. It has been a toss up between finishing my 4 runner or the sami. I didnt want to finish either one I was going to pay Crash or Moto261 to finish them but decided today that both of them are to busy to help out for at least a month so I started on it myself. I cleaned up my front axle today and installed the highsteer arms. Tomorrow Im going to start on setting the front axle under them sami. Here are a few pics of collected stuff. w56 tranny/dual case adapter driveline disco. I also have a ifs rear housing and 1 1/2 spacers for the front.If anyone wants to tackle wiring up the 22re in the sami let me know Me+wiring=disaster

Goal: comp cut the rear and go for 101" wheel base. Link and coil the rear with toyota rear leafs up front. 22re-w56 tranny-dual cases with 4.7 to 1 in the rear case-driveline disco-toyota front and rear axles 4.10 gears unsure on the lockers. Crashfab or moto261 full cage.

Got some more done today. Put my dual cases together,made a transfer case mount and installed my driveline disconnect. Here is a shot with the fenders and core support off. Not sure if they will go back on or not.So what do you think so far?

zukpirate · 03-26-2007, 11:10 PM

whats the W/B going to be at?

zuknstien · 03-27-2007, 01:32 AM

finaly starting to see more people put REs in samis. They fit really well and the swaps pretty easy.

Im alittle nervous about the wiring but its not gonna stop me. I got a good deal on the engine so Im going to use it. I was thinking about going with a 22r and propane until I picked up the 22re for 400$ with all the wiring.

samota87 · 03-31-2007, 09:52 PM

Here are some more pics.

Ok got some more pics. Im kinda held up now until i get some heims and link material.

samota87 · 04-06-2007, 12:28 AM

Here is a rear shot of both rigs and the springs are in almost the same spot. It seemed to work well in the blue one so Im hoping it works good in the new project.The spring lb rating in the blue one were 140lb and the new one are 165lb so it will be alittle stiffer .Ther is no weight setting on the springs in the new one thats why they are so tall. They will squat down to about the same height as the ones on the blue one.The second pic shows it doesnt have alot of body roll to it. If it does you would think it would in that pic.

moto261 · 04-06-2007, 08:36 PM

looking good man keep it up k

FORYOURRIDE · 04-06-2007, 09:20 PM

They are a drag spring from art morrison interprizes. They stand 14 " tall with no weight on them and are rated at 140lb each.You can buy them for 80 a pair. The blue sami has 165.I have toyota rear leaf springs up front with with two extra leafs added. I used some toyota rears in the blue one before i link the front and bent them twice. So thats why I added two leaf cut down to equal spacing between the othe leafs. Hopefully it works better than before.

Ortoyegon · 04-08-2007, 01:59 AM

Great work on your Sami builds. I'm gettin ready to roll my first Sami in my garage for a budget build. Gonna do some interesting stuff, guess ill have to start a build thread

hypozook · 04-09-2007, 02:21 AM

roczuk · 04-09-2007, 08:09 AM

39.5 iroks Stock shafts in the rear with 5.29s welded/ bobby long 30 splines with 5.29s welded and longfeild hub gears. 20r toyota/w56 tranny/4.7 to 1 case.

roczuk · 04-09-2007, 10:02 PM

thanks, man I kick myself everytime I see that someone has the 30 spline fronts; I just keep buying random shit where those are what I need.

your blue rig is by far one of the sickest sami's out there.
