So basically here is what it is...
1987 Suzuki Samurai JX, started off by putting in a Breeze Industries 5" SPOA lift, and 31" mud terrains. I figured that wasnt doing the trick so ide step it up and put in toyota axles.. during that process I figured what the hell, ill go all the way, so I decided on a 3link wishbone rear, and radius arm with panhard bar suspension setup, using QA1 175lb coils on all corners. Full interior roll cage to keep me safe. The toyota diffs have 5.29 R&P's, installed 6.5:1 tcase gears this passed weekend. The tires are 37x14.5 Iroks. Next mod will be power steering (should happen this weekend) then do a flat belly pan out of UHMV (cutting board material) and beadlocks, then it should keep me satisfied for a while

Here is the progression:
