Builds Samurai on Toyota axle build

[jwade]

HERE WE GO AGAIN!!!! I'm pullin the Sidekick Trany/T-case Doubler (SHOTGUNBOX) and Zuk 6.5.1 T-case and replacing it with duel Toyota 23 spline T-cases with the Marlin adapter and 4.7 gears in the F&R cases & twin sticks. The rear case will be a complete Marlin chromoly 4.7 gears & Longfield chromoly out put shaft. I'm using a engine trany adapter from Trail Tough to run a Toy W56 5-speed and a Trail Gear duel case X-member. The new crawl ratio will be 395:1

This is my adapter to put a Kick bell housing on Toyota trany

Twin sticks and shifter boot

My heavy foot and 39's keep riping the Suzuki chit apart

my 38s have been giving my sammy tcase troubles. i slipped off a ledge at katemcy last year and destroyed the output shaft. I had a stock spare tcase with me and with some help from Mark and Marlin i was on the trail the next day. I am heading out to the new park on March 17. if i destroy another one then i am going to do what you are doing! nice write up, appreciate the pics.

The Bottomless Money Pit

This is the new toyota duel case setup. SOS adapter & toy trany 21 spline front case 23 spline chromoly rear case. This is a long bitch

 

[lenross1]

Looks like a caravan of gears! What's the overall length of that set up? Would be good to know before I stretch my wheelbase.. Looks stout. Looks to be heavier than the Sammy stuff ; )

 

[Tapage]

damn dude .. which Toy tranny is it .. ? looks long !

 

[jwade]

It is 45 1/2" long. Very stought. 459.1 gear ratio

Tapage, its a W56 top shift trany

I'm gettin everything mocked up and I had to shorten my lower links so my x-member will fit

OK. Finally had time to get the clutch together. Its still gona be the Suzuki 16V clutch and fly wheel. I just drilled the flywheel for a 22R pilot bearing. I'm using a 22R clutch disk riped down 3/8"

what did you use to rip down the 22R clutch disk?

 

[jwade]

what did you use to rip down the 22R clutch disk?

A turn table plate for my drill press with a drill bit

 

[lenross1]

Trying to picture how you did this. so i am a little puzzzled. did you have to rip down 3/8 of an inch off the diameter of the 22R clutch disc? or just certain sections?

I took 3/8" off the OD of the clutch disk so it would match my Sidekick 16V pressure plate surface. I shaved it with a reverse cut drill bit like you would shave wood with a sander or metal with a grinder. I work for Shell Oil. We have a machine shop that is capable of countless wonders.

I may be redneck but not hill billy.

Every time I get my mockup ready I have to cut more to make it fit. I'm thinkin about just getting the floor board from a Toyota truck and work it in.

may be easier to just cut out and patch panel it. trying to fit a whole yota floor board may be alot more work. the yota floor board will have to be modified as well, right?
