    Cost of a total 3 link sas swap with coil overs on a 14' Tacoma

    How much will it cost to do a front and back sas swap with dana 60's 3 link with coil overs or ori struts, parts and labor? As well as putting in 37-40 inch tires? (all parts brand new)

    Materials, $10k. Labor, $15-20k. Can be done cheaper, can be done more expensively.

    I do make a nice set of brackets specifically for your truck for a 3-link. PM for details.

    That's a pretty good quote, but I couldn't do it any cheaper than $30, unless the customer supplied the parts and they were used parts. You'll get $6K into the front axle alone without blinking an eye.

    Looking back, my budget for both buying the Tacoma and doing a 3 link (parts and shop labor included) is around $40k-$42k total.

    Would I be better off getting a first gen tacoma to make this 3 link mod fit within my budget?

    You're better off getting an old school toyota made in 1985... Already has a SFA, you could convert it to links for around $6k if you want... and about $4k for the truck or way cheaper depending where you are located.

    I just built a 2001 4Runner for a customer with a 3 link in the front and leafs out back. It was a 3.4L/Auto truck to begin twith and it had the electronic case and ABS. It was a $30K+ build. So no, building an older Tacoma is not necessarily going to be cheaper. Areas where you could save money: buy a truck without ABS, a manual shift t-case, and use a junkyard D60 for the front.

    The problem with the older (1985) trucks is that they have no power. The 2005+ 1GR-FE 4.0L has V8-like HP, so comparing the two is really not fair.

    Yes possible, but why do the SAS with no gearing options? It could always be added at a later date I suppose.

    Hell I have at least 15K in my 85. Thats the cost of new parts and outsourcing when you dont have the tools or facilities when you start a build. Luckily I do now. It all adds up quick. It will be more after I start linking it.

    I keep thinking it may actually be cheaper to start with a 2wd or PreRunner. Less to remove, less wiring, less flashing lights on the dash to deal with. Of course you'd have to buy another adapter or a different transmission...

    My truck started life as a prerunner. Can't say it was easier to deal with but it didn't have ABS which was a plus. Once 4wd swapped, I chose to put a J-shift t-case in and trans from a 4wd 4runner. Now that its axle swapped, I'm glad it doesn't have ABS :cool:

    Well I have plenty more $ in my 1st gen than your 85. So my statement still stands. Besides if you run toyota axles on the older trucks you can make it pretty bad ass for $10k... It's $10k just to swap to a SFA on a tacoma.


    So if it already has a j-shift case with 4wd and no ABS... you saying that's the ultimate truck to swap?

    That 14K includes the 4K purchase price. I should have clarified that in my previous post. Going way up now since I'm swapping in a set of tons.

    All good. I just swapped in a 3-link front and that put me about another $2400 into the truck. Pushing $30k here soon and no that's not including truck price :luvya:

    I've basically included every single part, shipping, replacement parts, labor from others, tranny rebuild, IFS build, bumpers... EVERYTHING In the price. So that's where my cost is from. It'd be much lower if it was just the SAS and I didn't break 500 thousand parts in 5 years.
