@twiss,so am i right in assuming that you strengthen the Suzuki axles because the are prone to bending when using in extreme off roading ??? you dont get the problem for normal driving its just extreme off roading right.

Lots of people do but I haven't on my 31s. ScottieJ's axles are what I would do if I was going up to 33s.
So far I've only managed to bend an axle once after a rather large jump... but that was on 195s

Re: Samurai with Land Rover axels and 38" tyres
It depends on the rest of the conversion to land rover parts.
I think with 38" tyres you will probably end up breaking the standard suzuki propshafts and universal joints.
Might be worth looking at converting to toyota props.

Re: Samurai with Land Rover axels and 38" tyres
After the frequency of my half shaft snapping saga's I'd suggest a Rob Storr full float kit too.
Or dare I say it, no, I daren't, .....
Oh go on then, fit some LR axles!

Re: Samurai with Land Rover axels and 38" tyres
Will Toyota props fit? And if I upgrade prop shafts will I end up breaking t box?
