hi!!!

i am following this forum quite a time now and having purchased several products from trail-gear i loved the quality of them.

so lets get down to business.

i have a '97 samurai with 136 hp (h20a engine V6 2L)
V6 gearbox and 1,6L vitara t-case
custom portal axles from www.killeraxles.com on the way with 9" ford diffs and ARB's for front & rear.For the suspension i am thinking of using the trail-gear trail-link 3 rear suspenssion both front and rear with 18" airshocks.

what do you think about it?
any suggestion wellcome.

the idea is to keep as much of the samurai as possible!!
no dove tailing , cutting only what is absolutely UNAVOIDABLE.

i want that people can tell it is a samurai as soon as they lay their eys on it

JPeater kit is sold

like i said i am waiting to get paid from work and order the "TRAIL LINK 3" X 2 and start moding it so i get the desired wheelbase.
I'll have to order it through LROR because TG sends only with UPS and they are a rip off(ups)they ask for silly money to get the stuff through customs.

after i finish the suspension i will try to fit a VW VR6 3.0L aprox. 230hp
