The coupler looks like it is wearing out...possible bad alignment???
Does anyone know what brand this coupler dampener might be?

Isn't that a kawi coupler?

 

[njfl]

The coupler is a billet UMI or ADA aftermarket coupler. It uses the Kawi 5-finger biscuit. It's smaller in diameter and as such a little harder to align, so take your time when installing it.

From the looks of your side-by-side pictures, everything looks to be the same position-wise between the two. Go for it.

That chunk of rubber on the bottom wont fit in a sj hull

Thanks...I've been totally lagging on this. Looking to jump start this project again.

Yes (but the ride plate is not the same)

So a blaster intake grate fits a '08+ sj hull?

So a blaster intake grate fits a '08+ sj hull?

Yes, it physically fits. Not sure if it's the optimum intake grate (angle) since the internal pump inlet shape is different.

yeah i've been kinda lagging myself on my build, but today was almost 70 here in GA so i guess that means we need to pick it back up!! riding season is almost here!:brap:

 

[Liquid Graffix]

ya... where are you getting the SJ hulls????

 

[badboyr6]

I want to know also... That sj looks awesome!

 

[ItsRixter]

Okay...finally got back on this project!!!

Installed the pump. You have to start backwards so the alihment is right (pump, mid shaft then motor). I recommend also installing the steering cable before you put in the pump so it's easier to tighten the cable nylon nut.

 

[ItsRixter]

I swapped out drive shafts. Althought the newer superjets (08+) have longer shafts, the blaster shaft is too long. I captured the drive shafts in one picture...shortest is a 96+ SJ drive shaft, the mid size one is a 08+ SJ and the longest is the Blaster drive shaft.

 

[ItsRixter]

Once the pump is installed you shimm only the rear two bolts so that the drive shaft in coming through the center of the hole. I was lucky and the pump was set perfect without the need of shimms.
Next install the mid shaft. I am installing a bildge pump so I put in the bracket at the same time.
I put in the motor mounts loosely so they can adjust as needed when I drop the motor in.

Next I installed the handle pole bracket (Man this is much easier without all the crap in the engine compartment). Then I installed the fuel filler assembly and waterbox.
