these so called "VENDORS"

Discussion in 'Parts Sales' started by mustangoutcast, Jun 9, 2015.

  1. Are pricing the parts so far out of reach that Fabrication with Quality, Performance parts are actually an affordable opportunity. I wanted to rebuild my axles and fix the cheap 3 " lift geometry. But for what it would cost me in parts and supply to do it by the manual I can buy a pair of Zuk Samurai axles, rebuild them, fib a custom 3 link suspension, SAS CONVERSION.
    The Rear would be icing on the cake. This time fab a triangulate 4 link suspension use decent coil over shocks. and Shazam.
    It sucks I will have to give up my manual trans. But I think I can come up with a Drivetrain reasonable (motor, trans, transfer) cable shift Trans, electronic shift transfer case
    I will be looking for anything that will replace factory parts. As long as they look as good or better, function better, costless, ETC. ETC. ETC.

    I remember Shane like 25 yrs ago 4 wheeling around your territory. Back then I had a CJ7 man that was some fun. In the old days we could throw a few guns in the back. cross the border and whoop it up with American friends. I really miss those days when things were not so strict. Now I border Montana. also Gods country. Funny now we don't even have to cross a border crossing. We just use mountain passes. First Time I met an american who got lost from the Montana side. He stopped his side by side looking for directions. relieved he had found civilization. Laughing he had no idea he had driven up into Canada. Cheers from Radium Hot Springs

    contact yokohamamotors.jp they will tell you the year of truck, if you order a few parts that you probably need anyway.
    Good luck
