A 33x9.5" SX sticky would be sweet.
X2. I ran 30" SXs on mine, basically stock height. They were nice but wished for more height.onepieceatatime said:

Rust bucket !!!!!
Your buggy is awesome.
This is my wheeler.
I'm open in the front on 31" TSL, Ive had to change that Aluminum Housing once, cracked right along the bottom. Since you have yours out it would be a good time to find a Vitara (Steel) front housing if you can find one. Ive been looking for two years.

That's pretty cool.
I work with coldbeer and we talk about this little buggy every day.
He's debating back and forth with putting a samurai front axle in it in the near future or building a set of Yota's I have laying around....
My vote is the Sammy front to keep the wheels he has for now and use some stock Sammy springs.
He needs some case gears BAD ! Maybe then it'd be a little more crawl friendly. But I'm willing to bet it starts popping cv's then

Does he need a cheap body lift for it?

Re: Re: The Jew buggy
Problem with sami axle is you need 3" wheel spacers on each side to match width. What axle gears does he have now? A widetrack d30 might be an option. Leaving the front open would make it live longer too.rednecklights said:
Have a buddy that ran ran Sami axles on slick 33" tires and wheeled nothing like ya'll do at the parks, mainly trail rides. During that two years he had an axle related problem almost every time he took it out. Switched to Yota axles and went to 36" TSL SX all stock and hasn't had a problem in a year of steady trips. He cant keep up with us stockers anymore but can out crawl us when it gets rough. I am trying to decide how to build a rig that will Crawl but still be able to Baja out the ridge if I want to. The front end design is the limiting factor. I keep reading Mike Hagons stuff, thinking about going that route.

This is his first offroad experience so we are breaking him in ....
The Independant front will get him a few rides I hope before it starts giving up the ghost. *i hope*
Then the step up to a Sammy front axle will be the quickest and cheapest upgrade since he can use much of what he has now and I have some extras laying around .... by that time those 34's will be ruined and it'll be time for a real upgrade. I'm hoping he'll go strait to tons and stickies :****:
Like I said most of what we bs about is bench racing so if anyone has ideas post up ! He's open to most anything (swings both ways)
He's hooked on riding now and this is one heck of a learning experience
