sas swaping a prerunner

i have a 2004 tacoma prerunner. i plan on either doing a sas or 4wd swap.i found a transmission out of a 1999 tacoma its 4x4 with tcase
was wondering if it would fit. then also what will i need besides axle leafs shocks and brackets for a sas?
thanks guys

 

Front drive shaft,

 

With that much trouble, a sac would be a better choice

 

Solid axle swap swapping?

Good read on the solid axle bit. Then there is the entire 4wd swap part to start with though. I suppose if you skip the ifs part and just put in the t case and go straight to putting the axle under it, it will eliminate a lot of work. Are you sure it's what you really need though.

 

Off the top of my head, you'll need to either clearance your oil pan or get one that's already modified, t-case crossmember, driveshaft, shock hoops, 86-88 steering gearbox and fab your own mounting plates, however you wanna do steering, shackle mounts, and many other odds and ends (done quite a few SAS swaps on mine and friends PU's and tacos, and have gotten it down to about a 12-hour affair).

I'd say if you don't have everything you need or a strong ability to fab your own, just pick up a complete SAS kit (I've used this trail-gear kit a couple times. Zero complaints). Makes life easy-peasy.

 

you'll need a transmission out of a 01-04 if your going the ifs swap

 

well i just got ahold of a Dana44 thats been regeared and has a Detroit locker.
what sas kit shouldi get?

 

I dont want to be the guy that says search, because I ask my fair share on the topic as well, but there are so many variables here to just say "this is a good kit"

how much are you planning to spend. do you want links or leafs, how much shit do you plan to build on your own

 

Im glad this came up because i plan on doing this in about a year or so. IMO from what I've researched already i will not be buying any pre made SAS kits. I will be buying pieces from different places. (mostly ruff stuff probably.) I would like to Link the front though and not use leafs. Probably going to link the back as well while I'm at it.

 

Just come by the shop and ill hook you up with everything youll need and we'll figure it all out.

 

Why?
All he should need is a trans and T case that are for his motor.

 

i might try and ride down sunday. depends on how going and getting this transmission goes saturday.

i got 2 dana44s out of a 82 chevy the stearing box out of it and a couple more things from it.

 

also what i want to know. what are my choices on a sas kit?

 

I just completed a sas using Trailgear's sas kit on my 01 Prerunner doublecab. Running a toy axle with a gear driven xcase using the stock tranny mated with the inchworm prerunner adapter.

 

Cmon! I should be around!

 

Because the 01-04 tranny's are different then 96-00

 

the auto? What was before the A340e/A340f?

 

Kick down cables are different in 01-04s

 

Ahhh, OK, good to know.
