Re: Rear Locker or Limited Slip Options

Somewhere I have a picture of Suzuki samurai diffs I did in the same fashion. I broke driveshafts, but never a diff! I used an OLD miller arc, some 7018ac and just went to town.

Re: Front struts with spring perch?

I've been thinking about the interchange-ability as well on these front struts. Thats some good investigative work and the pics are much appreciated!! I think i might try this soon myself, but hopefully someone beats me to it so i dont have to figure out as much ;)

Re: Webers & O2 Sensors
