Putting the Toyota axles under the Samuria is easy. Use the Samuria springs. On the front you will need to elongate the pin hole in the spring pad. You need to move it in a 1/4" on each side. Then bolt the springs to axle. The steering can be done by unbolting the tie rod on the Toy axle and turning it around to where the stabilizer mount is on the passenger side. Make a new z-link and bolt it in. Or get the the Hy-Steer
piece for the passenger knuckle and build a new steering arm. Steering setup depends on how much lift. The brake lines will screw right in. Then redrill the pinion flange for the Samuria pattern. If you are building a
late model Samuria and have late model Toy axles the driveshafts will bolt up. On the rear move the spring pads to the same width as the Samuria, bolt up the brake line, drill the flange and your done.

With the YJ springs it will be a little different. The springs being 2.5" wide compared to 2" you will have to make the perches a little wider to accomidate the extra width. If you want anymore help call me and come over.
