I'm not sure how I missed this thread. I posted some pics in the favorite off road rides, but this thread fits a little better. Here's a quick rundown of what I'm running: 1988.5 Samurai w/ stock motor (carbed), tranny Tcase with 6.5:1 gears '85 Toy front axle w/ Longfield 30's, cyrod 5.38's in a high pinion 3rd and ARB, trunion bearing eliminator, high steer, hydraulic assist, ARP studs throughout, IFS hubs '91 Toy rear axle with stock shafts, '98 4Runner ELocker, cryod 5.38's, disc brake conversion YJ leaf springs at all four corners 100" WB full cage 37" SSR's on 15x8 2.5BS black steelies home made twin stick using two stock tcase shifters Warn x8000i winch with custom splice synthetic line Corbeau seats and 5 point harnesses It's maiden voyage this past May was to Colorado and Utah. We ran Billings Canyon first then went to the Rusty Nail the next day and spent some time at Area BFE where we ran Helldorado.    I had a slight miscalculation this past weekend...  |

not counting the cost of the samurai itself ($400) or tires and wheels i have right at $4,000 in all the parts and materials. i did ALL of the work myself including gear setups tubing work. on a side note...my great grandfather owned a mayfield dairy farm there in mcminnville! |

Where in McMinnville did he have it at and when? How much air are you running in your tires. They look really stiff in the pictures. I run 4 psi in the rear and 6 psi in the front with 42's on nonbeadlock wheels. |

nothing spectacular but gets the job done. 1993 jeep cherokee 3 monsterous inches of lift. 4.0L HO AX15 5 speed NP231 Toyota axles front and rear, locked. 4.10 gears (1st gen front, IFS rear) crusier rotors IFS calipers blah blah blah (inverted T steering with 1 ton TRE's) wrap bar in the rear. 33" TSL tires   the front axle was built with a dana 30 beside it for referance, I dont have a shop so it was built it my moms garage to "bolt in" and it did just that, I had both the toyota axles in myself, over a weekend.

Good job on the yota axle Fred! In the pictures from out west I was running right at 10lbs. I'd driven it from my buddies house in Grand Junction to the trailhead and forgot to let some more out. It WAS too stiff. Now I usually run them around 8. I don't have beadlocks on these and won't since they are the reverse offset wheel which means the center of the wheel is shaped different and won't allow me to run the weld on locks with the lock ring on the outside. I'll wait until I can find a little better setup for tires and wheels. |

Try 6 in the front and 4 in the rear. I like that set up on my 42's thats all I run it at.

Nothing major, but a new bumper added. Got a new prototype lift to try for awhile, then hope to straight axle. Got the axle, but need to do some measurements for links and figure steering. In GWNF VA  Badlands in Attica IN  At the farm a couple weeks ago  You can see the bumper, radiator skid and oil skid I helped design and fab.  bcrofts... Those all your personal or do you build for others as well? Nice rigs. Last edited by HARDTRAILZ; 12-16-2010 at 06:09 AM. |

^ Not an Outback, but I'm betting a mid to late 80s Subaru wagon on a yota frame.
