I loved the flex and stability of my Sami on stock YJ's SPUA, but I absolutely HATED how the spring hangers were rock anchors. I stared at it a few times trying to figure out how I could modify everything to switch them to SPOA and get the hangers up out of the rocks, but still keep the rig low. I never did anything though.One thing that was constantly fucking me were those stupid rear spring hangers. At some point I want to cut all the stock stuff off, go to a spring with more arch, and inboard the springs a bit. Not sure if want to stick with yj's or go to something shorter. I'm happy so far with the TG rears in the front, and it would be nice to have all 4 be the same.

Are you that tall that you need the cage that high? Just curious. I’m 6’-3” and never had head room issues. I have a 38” inseam, always had knees to the dash clearance issues instead in Sammy’s
My race Sammy had an exo cage to get enough room , safe space for two people in it. The garbage buggy I built I lowered the floor to fit the internal cage. I don’t think I could fit with an internal cage in the tracker.It's really not high, just the angle I guess. I had to notch the factory b pillar deal a bit, but it and the pieces above the door still fit.
I'm the opposite, I'm only like 5'11" but all torso, so I sit as high as a lot of taller guys.
You're definitely the only one I've ever heard say they had plenty of room in a Sami with an internal cage. if you look up a few post, you can see there is only 3-4" between the cage and my goofy head when I'm leaning out a bit.

This thing makes me want another samurai so bad !
I've got 17000 projects already but this is fucking cool !
Got the rest of the top pieces on today also. I like the half cab, but I'd like to have a full top made to fit the cage, I just never really liked the factory style tops. Especially when I catch the corner on a tree
It doesn’t look even with the windshield I guess. I may have incorrectly interpreted the factory style tops not fitting over the cage. Does a factory style top still fit? I took that to mean that it did not fit a top while you wished one would.Now I'm confused why you question my cage that's even with the windshield

Mine is spring over with yjs and the rear axle is moved back around 7 inches.One thing that was constantly fucking me were those stupid rear spring hangers.

What are you going to do now? Put the factory ones back on?
I reworked my rear suspension from leafs to 4-link and coils. Made a world of difference.
Smoother ride, more flex, better grip and all without having to go taller.
So I got the parts I need to fix my shifter. I haven't driven it since labor day when it was doing the wierd, super intermittent fuel starvation thing.
Any one have any ideas? Vapor lock? Wierd fuel pump issue? The last time it did it, the pump wouldn't even draw fuel from a Gatorade bottle, but later fired up to dribe on and off the trailer, and now around the yard. It's hard to diagnose when it doesn't always do it.
Also stumped on how the gauge got reversed
How old is the rubber fuel line on top of the motor? Could be vapor locking.
Brand new
What I don't get is that it all ran fine. But wouldn't take more than 1/2 tank, because the tank vent was plugged. When I un plugged it, this started happening.
Plug the tank vent again, then.
Did that used to run up to the front with a charcoal canister or something to re-burn the fumes off?
I’m not familiar with Samurais at all, so just guessing here, but the Geo has a tank up front and it recycles the fumes, so to speak. My old 84’ Bronco did the same.
I'm talking about the ~5/8" line that parallels the filler neck. The filler neck comes in about the middle of the tank, and the vent is on top. So when it was plugged, the tank would kick off about half full. I didn't really know what was going on until I had the tank on the ground.
I can't fathom how un plugging that would cause issues
Yes, carb with a cam driven fuel pump.This is carbureted, right?
Could it be that it’s not allowing the proper vacuum for the fuel pump to pull fuel?
Is the vent tube supposed to be open, or should it be vented into a can?? That’s my question. I can’t see how leaving it in the open without something restricting it wouldn’t cause a vacuum issue.

I'm not sure what you mean, but like I said, it will run great for a long time, then boom won't run. Not sure if it's the level of fuel in the tank, things warming up, both, or just random.
Vent is stock, it's the smaller hose that goes from the tank to the filler neck to let air out while you're fueling. It shouldn't effect anything with how it runs, only when fueling.
I'm guessing something else I messed with is the culprit.
