Wont make a difference. I havent had one for years (wires busted). Just remember you wont have a light to tell you that 4wd is engaged.

Layto....

I'm sure I won't get mixed up with the twin sticks

Well got the new rims on, i have full left lock and almost full right, will rub but wont hook the leef now turning right. An it's given just enough for it to flex fully, ideal would be a nother -20 tho =(.............
Nother question has anyone put a E15et in a zook? found they bolt to a 60 series datto box. or 120y lol. cheap lil turbo motor!!

can this be a sticky for nooobs to ask about lux diff conversions

No point making a sticky, they don't look in the bible anyway

are the transfere cases in the early model jimnys the same as an 05 model reason i ask is i snapped the metal mount last night

Is your's m13A or G13bb? not sure but that's where if at all there would be a difference I'd say.

Go a sierra diff with reduction gears, you know you want to.....

whats the ratio for high range for 6.4 trail tough gears ... I've found it is 17% reduction but what would this equate to ?

1.65 AFAIK.

I'm very happy with mine.

Ok guys on the way to work this morning the gearbox shifter in my zook felt very strange going into third. It seemed to go further toward the firewall than ever before. Then on the way home it felt crap again and ended up getting stuck in 5th with side to side movement but will not come out of gear. Thankfully low rang 2wd got me home

Now after a bit of a search I think the shifter bolt has snapped? And I think these links refer to the problem:-

http://www.izook.com/tech/samurai/drive ... hifter.htm

Now I assume a poly shifter sheet is something I should buy along with a new bolt/shifter assembly from suzuki? But what exactly am I after from suzuki.

Also could this have done permanant damage to my gearbox? I assume I have to find all parts of the broken bolt.

So am I on the right track?

Pull the stick out and take a look, you'll probably find it is just the sheet?? If it is the bolt as well then opening the box to retrieve bits would be best, to eliminate further problems. Last thing you want is loose bits flying around in there

Righto well that is a relief then. I will buy a new bolt while I'm at it aswell. Anyone know of a place that can get me a poly shifter sheet by the end of the week? Otherwise I am gonna have to get genuine.

Can't get the bastard out of gear now see this thread http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/sutra1464463.php#1464463

Hey.

Another quick question regarding the seal on the rear axle assembly
after you've taken the bearing and retaining ring off and drum backing plate

you put the Drum plate on first, then the seal with spring facing the differential side, then bearing with spaced side facing drum and then the retaining ring with chamfered side facing differential?
is that corrent? My main concern is the placement of the seal
thanks

No dude. The seal goes into the axle tube. Bearing and retainer is pressed onto axle. Axles slides into tube.

This thread might help a bit (sort of) http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/ftopic131230-0-asc-0.php

OK. Awesome, I did one side and then thought about it.... reason being when i disasembled it, after taking the bearing off a bit of plastic came off after, but this must have being the old bearing seal and nothing more..

Thanks you've put my mind at ease.

There is a plastic ring that sits in there also, I forget it's purpose.

just a question on a 2 inch bodylift, in the pic below is it fitted right or dose one of the rubber bushes have to be directly under the body block ?

cheers scott

Hi Scott,

I did mine like this (one of the rubber bushes is directly under the body block):



Cheers,

Pez

yer should i change it or leave it as is?

cheers scott.

Change, more lift and i assume the rubber is there for a reason, perhaps to soften the stress on the body? Im speaking out of my ass here.

Change it.

As it is now, there is no rubber cushioning between the chassis and body. Before you put the BL in, (ie - when it was standard) there was! Setting it up the same as mine is the go (this will also give you a bit more lift).

Cheers,

Pez

more lift is good ill change it on tusday than.

cheers scott

my mate said he thought it was a guide for the axle, to prevent the axle damaging the seal upon install/removal? could be wrong...

the plastic ring in the axle is important it stops the rubber on the seal being damaged when you slide the axle back in

I just bought a 93 vitara soft top. Does anyone know the best way to fit spotties across the roof and still keep the soft top in 1 piece.
I haven't been able to find any clear pics of zook soft tops with roof spotties that still have the original back seats.
I was thinking might just need a roof rack to put them on?
Any help would be awesome!

I'm retarded with electronics.

Dee, I had similar problems when wiring up spotties. Something to do with negative switching. This thread might help - http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/ftopic742 ... lay+wiring
