    Maybe, I plan on moving back to CA in the next 2 years, when i get back there I am going to SAS it. When I do this I am going to change a ton of stuff as you can imagine.....

    On the body mount we used 1/2 plate....

    Ya I have problems spending money...

    I rubbed too so I just went down a tire size. I just can't see cutting up my truck for rubber that's going to wear down and is easily replaced. But you probably have a better reason for larger tires than I do.

    no not really, hawaii is all about looks :) I guess when you see my posts on my SAS, dont click in.... there is going to be a ton of cutting, however at the end of it, I should be able to put my front tire on the hood of a stock Tacoma with the rest of my tires still on the ground!

    I would personally use a sawzall, with a good blade though. that one you were using was long gone, it should cut through that thin frame metal like butter.

    Dont know about the details, but it wasn't very thin... It did take a while to cut, tho we used one blade for the whole project...
