Hello out there!! I am the "New Guy". I just bought my first ZUK! (a'92 JL). I am new to this site too.
     I  was wondering what to use to hold up the rear window? The previous owner gave me some
straps & etc. but didn't tell me how to use them. I am not completely dumb but I can't figure out what goes where. Could somebody give me a little info?

   Also, What is the largest size tire I can put on my stock Zuk, without rubbing the fender wells??
             Thanks,

well there is a 92 samurai, or a 92 tracker/sidkick which one do you have?

Let's assume it's a Samurai JL...


The softtop rear window rolls up and the two long straps wrap around the rolled-up window and "snap" onto shorter straps that are sewn into the inside of the top.  You might have some trouble finding the straps as they can "hide" under the support hoop.

Do a search for soft top at Ack's FAQ (see link in my signature) for an article by Murph on how to remove the Samurai Soft-top.  The picture in Step 2 shows an unlabeled  loop of material hanging down from the hoop.  Ths is one of the two straps that hold the rolled-up window in place.

It may be that the two straps are damaged or are missing.  This means a visit to a boat-cover repair shop or buying a new top.

Hope this helps!

welcome to the site, if its stock sammy not lifted, I would run 235's on it.  but if your SPOA "Spring over" then you can run 31's  without cutting fenders that is.  another option is if your stock run make some longer than stock shackles to give you alittle more lift for the time being.  I run SPOA with 2inch longer than stock shackles and 31's

Thanks to all three of you for responding so quick to my questions.

I have a '92 Samurai JL. It has 75k original miles on it and it is totally rust free. Everything

on it works perfectly. I feel like I stole it, I got it for $2500.00. Do you think I got a deal?

As for now I am keeping it totally stock, but , there may be an spoa lift in the future. So I

think I will go with the 235's as you suggested.(for now)

I don't have any loops on my top as the picture showed, but I have a bag full of straps and

velcro stuff, so I will try to figure something out. I will review that page again to see if I am

missing something.

                             Thanks for your help,

After looking a little closer, I found the loops you were talking about. They have been cut though Theres still enough left to stitch to, so I will make a new loop. thanks again.
