4x4 Wanna Be Part 2 - SAS Toyota Axle/3Link

6" shackles

Moved the hanger 7" forward.

why? Koh guys run them and people in baja races. Spacers are tough, but there is better alternatives.

 

Shouldn't base your brand reliance on what people in a forum tell you, everything said on all forums should be taken with a grain of salt. Much better options than just "the blue ones" people use on this forum.

 

Just saying dude...Blue spacers arnt the only spacers...in the end they are all a hunk of metal.

 

You can also french them into your frame so the new hangers aren't big rock magnets.

 

damn that looks pretty

 

For what I'm looking to do it should be fine. I just didn't see the point in doing the IFS hubs and still having to run a spacer.

 

someones jelly that your truck has more attention

 

She's just about done! Damien got everything in place, all the final welds (sexy as hell!) done, everything's painted. He stayed late tonight getting the cross member finished and painted. Mean while I got the hub bodies put on, got the V6 calipers on... she's slowly yet surely starting to look like a finished product. Tomorrow evening I'm going to finish up with the hubs and I have to put in new seals at the transfer case outputs and swap out the front drive flange. By tomorrow evening she should be on her own weight and rolling. We put the rear under it's own weight and I don't think I'm going to need shackles. The leafs look like they will do, plus they seem to be really soft.

I also picked up my drive shaft tonight. I had Universal Automotive finish off the Trail-Gear shaft. I got the upgraded joint from TG and had Josh go ahead and put new ends on the shaft, also had him use a thicker wall tubing on the extension, so I shouldn't have to worry about this one taking a dump on me

 

very cool

 

She's standing on her own. I'm going to have to play with the spring size/rate to get it to sit just right. I'm also going to have to get a 2in shackle for the rear. It's not much, but she's mine







All that's left to do is a few b/s things, and he has to modify the old skid plate and put in the tabs for the rear shocks. So close yet so far lol

 

Gosh that looks good man!!

 

another successful day!!!!!

 

Looks good! A little more height in the rear please! Looks like about 6" lift up front?

Looking forward to reports from the first test drive!

 

Thanks bud, I just ordered 2in shackles with new bushings. Yeah it's right at 6"... a little higher than I wanted but I don't think it will be too bad. I'm going to try to play with the height a little bit.

I'm anxious to see how it gets down the road myself...

 

holy cow that came out good! Yeah if you could drop the front a few inches it would be perfection.

 

very nice looking truck.
Definitely a sleeper

 

i am glad the MTR came bigger, fits perfect i believe any other 33 may have looked tiny

 

Yeah, I would like to try and see how 35's would look just for future reference
