Title: Year model question? need help
Post by: delriowil on January 09, 2006, 09:07:00 PM: I have a 88 or 88.5 and can not seem to figure out what exactly it is. Title shows 88 model. The reason I ask is I screwed up the yoke on the front axel and I'm trying to get another. The bolt heads for the flanges are 12mm, I also have read something about the dash vents. So someone tell me what I have PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Wil

The easiest way to tell is if the dash air vents are square or if they are round.Ã‚Â If they are square you have an 88.5 with the larger bolts and flanges for the drivelines as well as a few other subtle differences. If you have round air vents you have the early model 88 which is similar to the 86-87 models.

AND...

In the ZUKIWORLD tech section under Samurai you can find out more:

Post by: delriowil on January 10, 2006, 03:02:54 PM: ;D Thanks guys for ya'll imput. I just found this site and have been spending lots of time here. I usually visit a bowhunting forum but, it seems to be switching to the Zuki. I'm sure I will be posting lots of dumb mechanical question in the future so bear with me I'm still learning my way around here.

Thanks again, This site is way cool.
