Spoonman’s Little Tacoma

Tell me about it....

 

Yep. I still don't know if I'm going to have a local shop work on my diffs or if I'm going to be the one to it. I kinda want to do it since it's cheaper if I do it and I know someone who can loan me the tools to do it

 

Not to thread jack @Spoonman

 

We ain't thread jacking. Talking trucks and sas stuff... Lol

 

do what I did. 12 weeks before the trip begin your sas and then finish it with 6 weeks to spare.

 

did a little solo wheeling with my boy this evening








Winched this one. Sugary snow wasn’t helping me out much.


Found some decent stuff and it started snowing too.

 

I still have no idea when this shitshow starts. Ideally, Spring 2021; more likely, Winter 2021.

 

Yeah I was planning to do mine over this winter. Lol

 

Ha! Now if only I could break a stub shaft when I have a most of the parts I need and a temporary daily

 

Go break it then it'll leave you no choice but to SA

 

Easier said than done

 

I'll join you, lol

 

Im waiting on diamond to finish my F&R axles and RCV to provide the shaft & joint. 90% done with collecting parts... what about you @cbechtold

 

I bought an ARB air compressor if that counts
I also mentally put away 4k toward 5.38s and ARB air lockers, nothing much atm. That'll change over the course of this year though.

 

It took me 3 years to get where im at, lol. Be nice if all that happen overnight. Only if money grows on tree, I'll be picking then minutely. @cbechtold I like your triple stick setup through the original slot...

 

If money grew on trees, there's so much I'd change about this SAS.

Thanks. Turned out much better than I originally thought. Now if only I'd stop leaking oil

 

It's ok to leak, lol. Mine leak as well and I figure eventually gear oil will be low enough to stop leaking but still have enough to circulate and cool the gear.

 

Wonton axle I assume? Leaf or link?

 

Ha! I'm slowly accepting it as time goes on. I just check the oil level of my t-case ever few thousand miles.

Preliminary plan is to go with a 05 + Ford super duty dana 60, sterling 10.5, PSC hydro assist, 3link front, Chevy 63s rears, 40s.

If money was unlimited for this build I'd be using Diamond axles and 10" gearworks diffs, RCVs magnum knuckles, hydro mechanical steering, 3link front, 4link rear, 42s. Basically all the bells and whistles.

 

I didn’t have anything other than bare cleaned up axles. Just went for it

pretty sure he is doing tons and links at least up front.

Oh yeah his post above it what’s up. Yeah he’s doing quite similar to what I did. Except probably nicer. I like to see others do similar things so see how different people do the same thing.

Cory you do your own fab work eh?
