    A few bolts are different.
    I would go SAS in a heartbeat over long travel on a 90. To me it would be much easier to maintain (toy axle).

    Sorry didn't realize we we're talking about a pretacoma... in that case I say swap it hands down, espically considering you said you already have an axle.

    Then once that's done throw in a 4xinnovations cage, some bumpers and go wheel the piss out of it!! :D

    I've been pretty scarce around here, but I'll duck in for this.

    Here's some better pics than the one you posted

    I finally got a chance to wheel with the Blazeland kit last weekend and it was absolutely awesome. It "glides" over terrain. I'd recomend it to anyone, but it really comes down to what type of wheeling you want to do. If you want a rig that you can drive to the trail head or even DD then go LT. If you want the ultimate in strength and don't give a shit about a plush ride, then go SAS.

    Also, LT is WAY easier to install than doing an SAS. and if you ever decide to go SAS just unbolt the kit and sell it.

    ^ Its your fault I even look into a LT for my 90. I was searching parts and came across your pics. Thanks for posting those up, as well as your experience with it.

    If you're wondering about costs, I went all out (short of coil over conversion) and it only cost $1500

    I went with Ironman 26mm torsion bars since they were thicker than the SAWs and were available immediately. Also, I converted the shock bucket to tabs so I could fit an 8.5" 5125 up front and not be limited to selecting shocks that had a pin mount on top.
