Sas 1st gen tacoma

Hey guys and gals, i want to sas my 97 tacoma but im having a hard time finding a driver drop axle. So im looking for alternatives. Can i swap a pickup transmission from a v6 to the taco and make it passenger side drop and use a mini truck axle? What mods would i have to make? Thanks!

 

@81Trekker
Do you have any advice on this subject?

 

I mean, solid axle swap is a full-fab job.

Are you doing this yourself? Even with just parts, it's going to be costly.

You can go this route - Tacoma 1995.5-2004 Solid Axle Swap (SAS) Kit - Yotamasters

They offer their kit with a Rock Assault axle housing.

 

My understanding not many do passenger drop is because of the exhaust being in the way

 

You're not looking hard enough..... Hate to be that guy but I'll be that guy

I mean...I could just start making my bolt on kit, just not ready for production yet

 

Why bro? why subject him to the torture??? add yourself to that list!

Slippin

 

Dude, you try carrying a 4' x 4' sheet of 1/4" thick steel.

That shit was awkward AF unloading it from the Land Cruiser

 

soft. I was waiting for the 100 degree weather and I was gonna rag your ass hard!

 

106 last week

 

Let me guess, your plasma doesn't run well past 100?

What were you saying about the NE?

 

Oh it runs, it's the operator that has issues past 80 degrees

 

soft

 

You try living in constant 50-60 degree weather right next to the ocean for 11 years then suddenly move to this heat

Don't worry, in a few more years youre house will be waterfront!

 

When I come out with truck end of year you gonna roll out and show me the spots? We can leave the GX at best buy.....

 

Well well

 

Sas is very pricey! And takes a long time to fine tune everything. Trail gear makes a decent kit that's driver drop Maybe not as good as running built dana44s but for more "entry level sas"(don't if entry level even works due to the work and price, sas conversion is still sas conversion) it is a good option. I'm running their 3link kit with 4.8i gears. You can definitely find better sas pages on here though to ask more questions.

 

that the well well of yeah we’re gonna find some open trails?
