This is a great build, lots of cool fab work and great ideas here. I was checking out your front axle and wondering about how you set it up. Are you running and IFS hub setup with a spacer to match a Tacoma width rear axle? If you are is the increased scrub radius a problem for you? I am thinking about running this setup on my current build and just wondered if you have any insights on matching the Tacoma width rear.

 

I ran the exact setup your talking about (83 stock width housing, ifs hubs with fror mount for Tacoma brakes and 1.25 spacers). Mines an extra cab and the trucks are long. Toyota axles have notorious bad turning radius but it’s doable. Driving around town is doable. And I daily’d mine for years like that. With that said there’s nothing wrong with the turning radius and more than manageable.

 

Yes ifs hub swap and 1.25 spacers, truck drives stupid good. Pay attention to link geometry and all will fall into place! Thanks for the kind words

 

First snow run of the season and was able to drag my dad along for a quick drive

 

Wired up Rock lights today just because

 

Baddest Taco sas on the planet. Well done.

 

Definitely not the baddest but it is exactly the build I wanted, low and great road manners but also capable of hitting a back road or two

 

Love this build. Will definitely be taking inspiration for my eventual SAS. I don’t want mine to get too high when it gets SAS’d

 

Definitely one of the cleanest SAS builds to date. Well thought out and fantastic fab work! I just got done boxing my rear end and fixing more frame rot (hopefully for good!) and I know how much work just that was this past month! Really like how you kept it a bit lower by notching the frame up front, thats my biggest gripe about the look of 1st gen sas builds... always a bit hot wheels you know?! Keep it up!

 

She’s ready for hangover run, been getting dumped on in the mtns around here so should be a good time

 

Truck did so good banging limiter at 10lbs boost!!! So much fun! Problem is I went to grab 3rd gear and it isn’t there, then later on in day I power shift to 4th and it’s gone now? It never did grind and still doesn’t when it in the gear. What would cause this? Shift fork? Never been inside a tranny. W56 b series

 

Got the tranny out and decided to split it, wasn’t bad at all. Found the culprit, a broken shift fork! Got one on order

 

For shits I welded up broken one just to see if I could

 

Got her back together, found a donar tranny that I pulled fork off of! Hate waiting on parts and having my truck down! I’ll put my new spare on shelf when it arrives

 

First time I’ve seen this happen! Not quite sure what woulda caused this, new coils on order and going with a different rate this time. Only thing I can think of is the crossover was causing coil bind. I am going with 150/175 rate which will Allow me to keep the crossover Higher on shock.

 

Is it rusted? It looks like a defect that might have finally gave way.
