This is my 87 Samurai. I have installed a complete Tracker rear diff lincoln locked with 5.13s and the Breeze industries 5.5" SPOA lift kit. I just installed the complete Tracker aluminum front pumpkin for now until I get my can and spacer and lockrite for the front, then I will put the gears in the Sammi case.The tires are 31x12.5 boggers on 12" wide wheels. The rims are wider than I wanted but for $100 for the 4 I couldn't pass them up.The TJ flares are 6" wide Warn replacements and cover up the boggers pretty good.I have a little more body work yet to do and some brakeline driveshaft and steering work and then it will see some mud.I picked up a 91 Sidekick for it's 1.6 engine, it may end up in this one sooner or later

Good looking Samurai! You said you swapped in a complete Tracker rear diff? Did you get a modified housing or did you use the one from the tracker?
Again great job on the Sammy!

I used the complete rear diff from the tracker. My driveshaft is on a double angle, but guys run Toyota diffs all the time and they are centered pinion. I've only had it up to around 30 mph so far and there is no vibs.The tracker diff is 3" wider also but it is hardly noticable and I could run spacers up front if I wanted. The 5.13 gears are awesome with the boggers.

Yeah, I have seen the toy axles under sammies, but I didn't know if everybody was using a custom housing offset like stock or not. I have a 89 sidekick, If I went to toy axles I wont have this problem.
Keep up the good work and keep us posted!
