Mikes Samurai build / use / fixing broken bits after abuse

[mike harris]

I looked at the simex, and I couldn't be tasted to make a tyre that was a bit bigger fit,

So I am fitting much bigger tyres

I wish you luck, who's the dude you mentioned on Facebook in the US running 37 treps on Suzuki axles?

There's a discussion on auszookers about it at the moment and a lot of those guys think it's going to be asking a bit much of the axles. http://www.auszookers.com/forum/viewtop ... =5&t=45766

Would be good to see though

some chap named Eric?!

I've been asking for pics but haven't got any as yet !! (Slightly worrying)

Yeh I am sure it will break the axles, it's obvious. But that's the direction the truck needs to move towards to progress. So may as well get some bolted on and see what happens.

It can only break and I've had my money's worth out of my axles in my opinion.

Treps are cheap, all else fails il keep boggers with loads of clearance !!

I look at it like this, my style of driving, is very slow. If it doesn't go up it once on tick over I Usually turn around or winch up it.

Hence why I am tempted to fit them as I'm not hard on my suzuki.

The only reason I've smashed a diff was a standard rear shaft exploding, bouncing of tree stumps, now it's fully float.

Snapped both front cvs because the wives housings bent, and they where the early type 26 spline cvs, new ones are much stronger so they say. Rated to 35 inch, so being carful on 37 can't be that hard.

Life's to short not to try and fit 37 inch treps to a suzuki, so I am going to give it a go, I don't know of anyone in this country at least who's tried !!

Can't find any one else who's got them on zuk axles, I am stupid enough to try it !!

[ScottieJ]

All I'm gonna say is you are a brave man looking forward to seeing it though!
