Suzuki Samurai Rock Crawler Drive-Up

Recently converted it to fuel injection - took the complete wire harness, intake manifold, distributor, and all related FI parts from a 1990 Samurai and bolted it all on...with a little tweaking it has made a good improvement in drivability.

did he need custom drive lines for this when it was lifted?

@04yz125Man

He put spacers on both sides and a 2" longer trail gear yoke in the rear as well as a spacer on the transfer case side of his front shaft to clear the cross-member. no issues with the shafts pulling apart but the rear angle isn't quite right...there are some vibes at times. he plans on getting stronger shafts, of course...but will probably run these till they break.

@wheelinkid00

Awesome! Glad I could help! As off-road enthusiasts we need to stick together...land is getting shut down all around us.

@churd243

If he had stock xfercase gears then 4.16 gears should be just about right for 31s IIRC...

If you have xfercase gears then it may lower your high range as well as your low range giving you the desired 4.16 final ratio for the 31s. I know the kit he has on his (rocky-road but unsure of the actual manufacturer now) sets the high range 12% lower which is just right for 31s.

[churd243]

@evulution1337 so if he had the 4.16 gears and 31s, you think that would be better??

[evulution1337]

@wheelinkid00

I think it will be...I know that he has the same xfer case with 4.56 gears and 33s - it seems to be just slightly over geared. Keep in mind that xfer case will give you a 1.12:1 high range...making your 5.38 equivelant to 6.025 and his 4.56 is equivalent to 5.11.  In high range, of course (whether it be 2wd or 4wd). Hope this helps...

hey! i have 5:38 gears and 33s and am looking a the 4.16:1 t case gears do you think it will be to low of gears for driving on the road?

thanks!
