Thats the way to drive all 4wds isnt it
hope you have a good source of front driveline bits
back to your low ratio thing
try PMing some of these guys in UK on difflock.com (you may have too register?)
http://www.difflock.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5421
its a bit of a close fit for a twin Tcase setup on a swb i use to run just a sammy tcase instead of the vit 1. gearing was bit low for 32" and a bit high for 34" so 33" would be spot on:)
on the new truck( tray back) as its a lwb i have a vitara and sammy tcase setup gearing is brill
when both Tcases r in low and gearbox is in 1st at 4000 rpm is about 5 mph on 34"
gearing in 2wd is good
3500 rpm in 5th is 58mph on 34"
definetly doable, I havent looked into it but its been done with the SJ transfer

Hi
If you have an auto they usually have a 4.62 ratio . A little lower is the 5.12 out of a manual . But good old suzuki never kept things the same so you need to check each vehicle .
Also while I was swapping out the t/case on my cousins ( for one with 4.24 low
) the casing between the two is redundant . I think you could take out 6 + inch from in there , then you would have room for two t/cases in a swb .

could be a good start.......
do not go and buy a new non orignial part, they are much weaker than a suzuki part go on trademe and find someone with a second hand one in good condition and there heaps cheaper too! 80 series tow bus towing a redneck ass vitara
doddzee you must be rough! my scudo lives on the limiter with a kevlar clutch ,and i have never broken a axle . have to admit blew one front diff so bad i had to tig up the bottom of the diff housing were bits came out and the last one was breaking the mounting brackets off the housing so now has 50mm x 5mm plate that holds diff head on to cross member. try mudfkr on trade me, was by far the best value i found. cheers

Is it the side that goes into the front diff you broke?
if so i have one with a broken lower cv joint... so if you could be bothered i could send it down to you faily cheaply and you could change it at the top cv if that makes sense
otherwise tepuke was charging $95 for pair of half shafts which is what i replaced it with... cheaper and less effort than getting a cheap new chinese cv, and got otherside as a spare too...
(new pommie cv's approx $360, cheap chinese about $60)

After a week or so in the workshop its all going again, the axle has been replaced thanks icekayak
I have also got the 4point cage in and the fiddle brakes hooked up. Will find you if they are any good this weekend at club champs as there are only drums on the rear.
Heres a pic of the cage, cell pic so poor quality. If anyone wantsa better pic posted let me know.
I will be selling the winch (has electrical problem last owner said), bullbars and sidebars in about month so if there is anyone interested in those let me know.
