    Would ya'll say it's safe to say that this is the perfect spot for my frame to have bent for cutting when going SAS?

    Getting closer to joining the club, axles almost ready. Lot of work cutting off the old truss and brackets but they're getting there. Should have them finished tomorrow, just finishing up the rear disc brake conversion

    Invading this thread in case anyone is interested in parting ways with their SAS'd taco. Tell me to get the hell outta here if you want, but keep this in mind 20 pages from now. :fingerscrossed:

    @Kerleyfries is solid axle swapping a 4runner, he will probably be ready to sell it a week after he's done with it.

    Too deep, it’d be too much of a loss. This bitch is around for a bit whether I like it or not.

    NO RST rigs, and definitely NO "buddy killer" 4-link kits from C-Slayer.

    damn son! Me next! Excuse my newbness.. What axles are those? did you fully rebuild them? I was speaking to a shop today and he said it isn't necessary. Getting closer to venture off into the rabbit hole.

    Axle is in place on mine. Hoping to get my crossmember built Saturday to do my link mounts and get to cycling.
