[QUOTE="clemsonjeep, post: 406693, member: 6317"] This build started back in 2008 and I've tried to keep it updated on Pirate as I change things up, but I've gotten to where I don't care to spend much time on that site anymore. I do however spend plenty of time here on Hardline :****: If I'm going to spend more time here than there I figured I'd also get more response here as well. Here's where this build started... [IMG]http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm13/clemsonjeep/Samurai/DSC01549.jpg[/IMG] Just prior to pulling it into the shop to strip it down I had been driving it on a daily basis as well as 2hr trips one way to to see a girl I was dating. The little booger got great mileage and was a blast to drive...not to mention everyone giving me the stink eye :flipper: At first the plan was to use a pair of the early Wagoneer axles with the offset rear and this is what it looked like the first time it sat on it's own weight again. [IMG]http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm13/clemsonjeep/Samurai/DSC02980-1.jpg[/IMG] Then I got a bender and things started to take shape... [IMG]http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm13/clemsonjeep/Samurai/DSC_0011.jpg[/IMG] After being frustrated trying to nail down what I was going to do for a steering setup and a few other things I decided to change directions and throw a set of yota axles under it. I took a day off work and visited a handful of salvage yards one day and came back home with a high pinion 3rd, elocker rear, IFS hubs and brakes, IFS rear axle, and other misc. parts. [IMG]http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm13/clemsonjeep/Samurai/DSC_0379.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm13/clemsonjeep/Samurai/DSC_0381.jpg[/IMG] I ordered up some Longfield goodies as well as sending him my ring and pinions to have them treated along with the lock collar and side gears from the elocker. [IMG]http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm13/clemsonjeep/Samurai/DSC_0391.jpg[/IMG] Cage taking shape...
