lol they probably would but those turbos would have to sit outside the hood and my axles would probably just break as soon as i sat the motor in the valley. i know id be a very scared axle to hold up against all that powa!
It will stop soon lol. The goal is to just get the thing moveable under its own power to roll out of the garage to the back yard so the truck can go in the garage. Then i gotta buy bypass shocks, coilovers and tires.......
Muhahaha. 39.5 iroks on the buggy. Pickin up two more tomorrow. Still have not cranked the motor up but its about ready to. Been ordering parts like crazy but no time to put then together. Hoping to get thi gs goin next week
Right now the rear is a triangulated 4 link that needs a bit of help in strength and the front has yj springs. Im gunna change the yj springs in favor of some toyota pick up rear leafs to move the front axle forward 5" without changing mounting points.
Axles are getting a work over. Right now they are an 85 toy front and some year ifs toy rear. Front is getting chromo hub gears, six shooter knuckles/high steer, full trussing, arp hub studs, dirty 30 inner and outer chromo axles, and already has a detroit locker in it.
Rear will stay stock till an axle goes, then ill throw some chromos in there bbut it will trussed up really well as well. This rig will see air time quite a bit lol

Wow. Sounds awesome. Goin to be pretty crazy when u get it all set up. What kinda of suspension travel are u hoping for?
minimum 16" in the rear but would really like 20". the only way to achieve it though is to run a shock off the lower links instead of the axle and that wont work unless i redo the whole trailing arms. i think ill wind up buying some 18" stroke shocks (longest ones i could find) and using those. the front id like 14-16" but untill i cycle it with the motor in, i wont know.
I should give u a number of a guy i know. He builds customs shocks in house. He built and raced monster trucks for years and now builds mini monsters. Full rear hydro steer, ect. Anyway the shocks he builds are sick. All grave diggers trucks run them and a few more different trucks. U can set any ride height with the shocks and travel. His company name is night stalker enterprises. About 5mins from my house. Pm me, might be worth seein if he can build u a set for the sami, hes tryin to get me to let him 4link my tracker and do his shocks. Mines not nearly as serious as yours tho.
Thats a pretty sick build James. 4.3 looks gooood. Keep the pics rolling, its cool to watch progress on this thing!
Well got more parts in and hope to fire the 4.3 this weekend.
Bought trail gear 6 shooter knuckles and high steer, front axle top truss, knuckle ball gussets, chromoly hub gears, dual transfer case adapter and just picked up my second t-case.
Need to buy a twin stick kit, dirty 30 front axles, chromoly outer hub gear, and a few things for the trans and motor/trans/both cases/front axle will be all done and built. Then its on to steering, bracing rear axle housing, and fixing some link mounts. Lots of work ahead.

sounds like a full time job a head of u. Pumped to see this thing done.
Oh yes..... then add in finishing filling in my pool, keepin the samurai running, needing to fix a few things on the toy hauler, wanting to coilover the limo, need to fix a brake on the flat bed trailer. It never ends
