So is Trail-Gear planning on supplying samurai products? Or coming out with new things for samurai's?

I think it would be great if you did.

I'll be beginning a Samurai trail rig build up shortly and I am planning to use Toyota axles under it for some extra width and reliability.

Right now I am lookng for cheap running Samurai to use as a starting point. If anyone knows of a rig with current tags and smog cert for under a $1,000, please let me know.

I'll be looking forward to the build up. I'm sure you'll do some amazing things.

How about coming up with an adapter for dual cases for the samurai. Alot of other vehicles have them why not a samurai. I have two cases i would love to put together. But one would be in a weird spot if connected by flanges.

There have been a few people to try it but there are so many reasons it has failed. If it had a centered rear output like a Toy case it would be much easier. There are current options for dual Suzuki cases but involve using a Sidekick case mated to a samurai case.

I run 5.29 gears in my Toyota axles and 6.5 gears in the Samurai T-case. I am really happy with this combination on the trail. If your looking for more gear options you can do it by changing the transmission over to the sidekick 5 speed and use the dual kit being made by Scott at Rock 4X. He also has his RingR kit that allows the use of a Toyota Dual Case assembly.

There are all ready a number of kits for doing this on the market.

We will be offering 3" lift, stock length replacement leaf springs for the Samurai.
