Yer doin' it right!

Aw, man, and you had the best lookin' front clip out there.

 

^lol. I just don't wanna loose height

 

Yeah, I got that. I was talkin' about the ARB bumper.

Not a fan.

 

I can find a straight axle easier and cheaper then a 85 runner

 

Yeah I wasn't either but I think on the right truck (mine) it would look killer. Plus it's a good deal.

 

Yeah, but can you buy that 86, a straight axle, the springs (I'm guessing leafs) hangers, brackets, driveshaft work, shocks, break lines, etc...for the price of an 85? Not to mention the amount of labor you'll have in it doing the SAS.

 

Rgr that.

 

Very true but nothing is set in stone and I still have a little while before I can get something else

 

Hey Mike, since I'm busting your chops...if yer gonna SAS something why not do your Taco? I got a NP205 divorced t-case that would be perfect for it. Wouldn't have to mess with the tranny at all. Just get had an intermediate shaft made, shorten the rear driveshaft, and fab a mount for the case. Everything else you'd have to do anyway for a typical SAS.

Then you'd have the forum's second Prerunner 4WD, lol.

 

If I get a double cab I would consider it and your just itching to get rid of that t-case aren't you

 

Haha, well, it has been sitting in the shed for close to 15 years. It's pretty much a bomb-proof t-case, gear drive, no chain. Pity to let it just sit there, yeah?

I'll eventually find a good home for it.

edit: In fact, it'd look great in Dritymike's truck.

 

Hey buddy, nice sig. Im going to have to update mine with
Pictures from the meet.
I was suprised we passed by you guys on the highway on
The way back. We left way earlier than you guys haha.

 

Your right it would then he could put all four of those 37's to work

 

Thanks,,good one so far.......

 

Lol yea idk how that happened lol y'all left way earlier than us.

 

nuh-uh , im going to have the 2nd 4wd PreRunner

lol im just kidding, so is the SAS a better option than the IFS setup? because if it doesnt need all those extra parts swapped, I may just go that route and do the SAS

 

We stopped at waffle house haha.
If you guys ever come down to miami
Let me know buddy

 

I also got a custom decal from a guy at the BX...I like it, thinkin about puttin on the tailgate right under that handle

 

SAS is definitely a better option than IFS. It's a stronger axle and will take much more abuse. I'm pretty sure you can get more travel out of it if you do it right. I doubt you'll see many serious trail/rock crawling rigs with IFS, so that should tell you something.

On the down side, doing an SAS is probably not something you'd really be able to deal with presently. First, you'd have to have a place to do it. Then you'd have to be prepared to have your truck out of action for a considerable period of time (ask GuyHuey--his runner was down for most of 2013 while he did his SAS). Then you'd have to have a welder, torch/plasma cutter, and some steel fab skills.

Of course, I guess you could probably try to find a fab shop to do it, but my wallet is weeping for you just imagining what they would rape you for.

 

This^^^^ gonna need a second car first and probably a money tree.
