Congratulations Jeremy!!!  Tell us a little about yourself.  ...

As many of you know I'm swapping  in Dana 44's...  So i figured id do a build up thread here....   


My axles are from a 78 Scout II they are not the easiest Dana's to swap in to a samurai.. first thing is if your running leaf springs you have to outboard your spring mounts on the front 1.5" on each side, I did that and made some new mounts and reused some... then after all that i had to come up with a mount for the passanger side of the diff... and i decided to copy the way you would mount a Toyota axle...  I had some old spring plates but they wouldn't work so i had to make some new ones out of some 1/4 plate i had... Now once i get all that figured out i have to take the front axle back out and cut the outer C's because scout axles come with 0* Castor from the factory... I'm going to post some pics of what i did and still working on... so in the future if anybody needs some ideas they will be able to see some pics cause i spent lots of hours trying to find some pics ...

This is what I had to work with, most of the zuki stuff was bought, begged,borrowed, or gratuitous, courtesy of NoLimitZuk and Andy.    Working on it a little at a time....
