Well I traded my 80 Toyota for a 87 Samurai, some question why I'd do such a thing but here's the reason plain and simple. Other than some minor clean up and still having a bunch of parts to continue this build up it has this:

It is a Klune-V 4.1 underdrive, it is a planetary gear usually found in V-8's. It is very strong and almost indestructable in a 4 banger sammi.

Here's the custom rear axle, trussed out to the max. It currently has stock gears & axle shafts, Lockrites, rear diff armor, a huge truss, spoa and extended brake lines

Rocksurfer · « **Reply #5 on:** Jun 22, 2006, 03:20:32 PM »

The front axle is pretty much stock except for also being spoa, Ford Shock towers and a High Steer conversion.

that thing is sick, do you have any action shots yet? and who the heck trusses the underside of an axle?

Here's the shock towers

looks great, my sammy suffered from a bent rear housing, but that was from jumping it with 7 people in it

Yeah I've started a thread in the rig gallery "A whole new world" and in the Suzuki section.

I guess my brother would be guilty of that truss.

Getting hit by a train probably didn't help it much either

Here's the crossover steering, it is still manual but I have a celica box in the wings.

Just finished making my doors removable, I did a how to thread on this in the Suzuki section:

Since my truck was used for R&D at Klune-V I have lots of pictures of their build up, they had it for about 8 mos. and the pictures in the install manual are of my truck.

The photos come courtesy of Klune-V

Here's the complete rundown on the build they did through the install manual

They also install Marlin's crawlboxes in Broncos

By Sept. it will have much more done so it will photograph better sitting next to the Mammoth, I've got a friend that deals in them a lot and owes me big. I just got done mocking up my skidplate I'll throw up some pictures in a few. I used some closeline hooks to hold it in place temporarorly until I make better mounts.

Here's the temporary setup until I go get the rest of the parts for this thing

I went the Celica box route on my old Sami. Make sure you run a cooler on the return line.

PM me and I can send you a link to the install if you need it.

Went and got some more of the stuff for my rig, springs, extra tailgate, more springs, powersteering, more springs, and a big ass box loaded with stuff.

Rocksurfer · « **Reply #29 on:** Jun 23, 2006, 05:45:23 PM »

Lists, I NEED LISTS!!!

Thanks a lot Mrs. W, now you've got me doing it!

I unpacked one of the boxes and look what I found, holy crap have I got some work to do, and this is just one box. The front ARB isn't even in this group of parts

There is so much more too
