Ahh the Chico life. I miss it. I had so much fun it is a wonder I graduatedTintop said:YES and YES
Back in town till school starts again with my dad's rig. He wants to upgrade to yj's as his 3" nationals have gone flat.
Hammers eh? got any dates set? I'm ready and waiting to go
As far as the Hammers goes, we are looking at mid April sometime. We should have the dates figured out for sure by the middle of next month or so.
Did you get those Toyota axles installed?
nope
I ran out of funds before I could do that. I actually had a rockclimbing accident and had to pay off some medical bills so now I'm stuck with the toy axles install.
I got the front and the rear.. and front toy driveshaft, and my 6-1 gears.
I still need powersteering of somekind,
lockers, and a new steering linkage setup. New wheels as well.
As for the fab work, I'd have to cut all the old perches off the sami housing's, and then clean em up and weld them back on the toys. I have bought a welder but I don't really think I'm proficient enough with it yet to do that myself.
To cut some corners, I was thinkin after I got the powersteering... To have somebody who knows what there doing weld up my front and rear for me.
What I've decided to do is just put my sammi axles back together with the stock gearing and run my 33's again. (I have all the parts)
Then, I'd only need a another rad, tie-rod, and the powersteering.
I'd could get my rig ready by then, but from the pictures I found of the hammers

I have a feeling I'd be doing a-lot of sammy axle breakage.
Could I get a sammy through the hammers on stock axles/33's/6-1 gears/coils? I made it though the con with minimal damage.
My dad's sammi has the grs2 gears, locked up, and on 31's... he'd like to go to.
Ok, enough of the novel.

Sorry to hear about your accident. You are supposed to climb rocks in your Samurai
You should stop by and see my why you are around. I have a couple spare tie-rods (Sami ones) that I could sleeve for you and I could make your drag link. If I find an FJ-60 steering box, I will make you a deal on my Toyota IFS/hydro-assist setup .
I also may have some Sami axles with Detroits F&R, 5.13's, birfield rings, upgraded hub studs, wheel spacers, etc. for sale at a reasonable price. I'll know next week.
PM me if you want to get together.

yeah yeah, first time climbing with equipment with some guys who thought they knew what they were doing. They didn't put a safety caribeaner on the anchor and the anchor failed and I fell the last 20ft while repelling down a cliff side. Fell flat on my back and haven't been able to do any work in quite a while.
