Looks good man fellow canadian
We should hit the trails some time
-
sweet truck, good to see he finally finished the project! or at least nearing the completion of ;D
-
you know, from when i started building my tracker i have always thought it owuld be one of the badest and i have thought that for a long time, but the more SAS trackers with 2 cases and lockers front and rear makes me think how far behind i am to be one of the best. dose anyone know this guy? i would really like to talk to him online.

I know of him and what he's done, his names Xfaktor he frequents zookpower.ca , team swift, pirate, offroad.com, but not sure if he's been around here.
he definitely knows his zuks, last years suzican he was running a 1.6 twin cam frankenstein motor in his samurai on 31's, that was a real screamer!

I know how you feel. :-/

did he buy his t-case gears from a vendor or build them??? i would like more info on how he put his cases togather and the twin sticks.

I have the exact same t'case setup in my rig and it's all home fabbed, I believe he did his rock lobster and twin stick himself, the build up shows all from what I see in his website
the only thing I didn't do to the dual t'cases was TIG welding plates to the kick case after cutting off the front driveshaft output. cost- $60 bucks Can.
the only differences betwwen my setup and Xfaktor's is my intermediate shaft, mine is just a shortened kick driveshaft, X connected the 2 flanges together with a single Ujoint and built a frame to connect the sammi case to the kick case as one unit, basically a ghettoed OTTkicker3

Last I heard, Sky was working on a kick/samurai t-case adapter/ dual case setup of some kind.. Might e-mail him and ask how its coming.

;) :o 8) ;)  :) :)   8) 8) 8) Welcome to the Darker side.
I've got the F-150 coils, TT's Mighty Kong, and an extra sammy case and D-shafts ready to fab. But then I ran across two screamin deals, a 1995 2dr Conv Kick, and a 1998 2dr Conv Kick. Now I've got some more (Non 4-door) work to do.

ugh those toy truck axles look narrow. :P
(http://xfaktor.net:8082/Projects/Suzuki/Coil/2004-07-28Coil01.jpg)
I believe the axles are about 5-6 inches narrower than a sidekick axle. Can somebody maybe correct me on this? How exactly do the toy pickup truck axles fit and feel under a track kick? I've seen Glenns, and I guess it doesn't look bad..  If I were to do toy axles (which I may do in the future) I think the axles I'd need to be looking at are from a toy landcruiser 60 series:

Lots of rust too, so why not make it a trail rig lol.
74.3:1 final drive? Wow. Mine is 179:1.  ;D
:)
I'd like to see some pictures of that truck outside of the garage.  Good job though. It's always neat to see someone take on the SAS project.

Wow, not bad. Have a look at mine. I have installed a D44 front and Ford9" from a 66' Bronco with Spools and 5.83 gears. I also run 35" MudRover tires from Dunlop and a Twin stick convert to go 2WD low.

What do you think ??? ;D

So FJ80's look like the choice to widen up the trackwidth AND to gain extra beefiness, without total custom fab stuff.  (thanks for the WMS info)  I never dug into it until now.
That'd give ya bout 3 inches of extra width on each side. (no more need for offset rims) Keep the tires off of the frame and shocks. Provide better stability, no need to inboard the shocks, etc, etc, etc..
THANKS!

He attached the upper link to the radius arm. Is this ok?
The angle of the diff won't move like a true 3 link suspension, such as on the rear of a Kick.

humm i don't see how any of that works??? at first i was thinking that it was kinda like the older fords radius ares but it don't look like it???
stu
-
It reminds me of how the RRO setup is up front... there's just the two links (it looked like) with 2 bushings on the end of each link. Or at least that's what some of nc_zuk's pics made it look like :)
-
I see how part of it works. 2 main links from frame to axle, 1 link each side from main link to top of axle.
He'd still need a trac bar, and the upper links look kinda weak where they attach to the lower links, maybe unfinished and yet to be braced in the pic.
Rig looks sweet though! I love SA Kicks

(Just reread the post)
What size tubing are you using for the radius arm? I have heard of the links breaking or tearing off under load. Brace it good.

i agree, i'm am now starting to see how it works and it should flex well!

You need to find someone, or some place that you can host pics from... For example, say cardomain.com. It sucks, but it works.. Upload the pics to car domain, then view your pic, right click, select properties, then copy the link to the pic.
Then, go to where you want to make your post with the pic and paste the link and add in the IMG tags.. Or, drag over and highlight the link, and click the (http://www.zukiworld.com/public_html/YaBBImages/img.gif) button above... ÂÂ
IMG tags should be "[ img]" at the beginning of the link, with "[/img]" at the end of the link. No spaces between the tags and the link on either side...  ;)
