superman180 · 03-29-2007, 10:04 PM

Wassup,

Just finished helping a buddy of mine complete a SAS on his 87 runner and I thought I would share some pics. Made for a great weekend and some good beer drinking

GOTTA LOVE THOSE RUNNERS

AxleIke · 03-29-2007, 10:07 PM

Very nice...Gotta love plasma!

superman180 · 03-31-2007, 05:10 PM

A few more Pics

And last but not least my little 84 runner, it is waiting for ARB lockers to come in from Marlin Crawler

superman180 · 04-07-2007, 03:27 PM

Well I guess that SAS are not as uncommon as they used to be. I would have expected more comments.

Red3.slow · 04-07-2007, 03:30 PM

Looks damn good. Nice work!

JamesD · 04-07-2007, 03:32 PM

Ok here is a reply. Do you like white?

Seriously very nice but with all that money why don't you fix your damm p/s gearbox?

superman180 · 04-07-2007, 05:24 PM

Well I would fix the power steering leak but I think it gives it character.

Hayes · 04-07-2007, 05:47 PM

Character is only good in a part until it fails, expecially in something as vital as the power steering pump.

Sonofmayhem · 04-07-2007, 07:11 PM

powersteering pump isnt THAT vital you can still steer without it, just make sure you lugnuts dont have any character

Looks good, i love white 1st gen runners

Hayes · 04-07-2007, 07:26 PM

very true

90RunnerRed · 04-07-2007, 07:50 PM

Very nice, wanna come do mine now?

Seriously, was it coincidence you all got white runners or what?

superman180 · 04-07-2007, 08:15 PM

I would say that 2 out of the three was coincidence, the 87 runner we SAS was the first then my buddy ran across the 84 runner and I bought it , it just happen to be white, my father in-law really liked them and went on a mission to find another white one. Thanks for the nice comments, and as far as the p/s is concerned I think it has already been repaired. AND NO CHARACTER IN THE LUG NUTS GOT IT

RustBucket · 04-07-2007, 09:10 PM

You make it look easy...

nmtoy · 04-08-2007, 07:02 AM

I like how it took you all of 2 days,. nice welds too.

Yotaboy · 04-08-2007, 07:11 AM

Good lookn Runners. What kind of tire carrier do you have on the '84?

superman180 · 04-08-2007, 10:11 AM

I made the tire carrier. The bottom bar the goes into the hitch is solid 2x2 bar and the upper support is 2 x 2 x 3/16" wall thickness and there is a solid block welded in the bottom that the hinge pins goes thru it works out real nice. I just need to get a spare 33" tire to go on it.

deserttoy84 · 04-08-2007, 12:51 PM

has anyone ever done a SA to IFS swap?? I wouldnt never do it, just curious.

olharleyman · 04-08-2007, 01:08 PM

MAN that is awsome 2 days thats rocks want to come out next weekend and help me do mine??? Ill buy the beer and pizza lol

misterzee · 04-08-2007, 01:55 PM

I have a white one too, will you do mine?

superman180 · 04-09-2007, 04:08 PM

Yeah we did it in two days. The first day was mostly spent getting it over to my house with all the related parts ie axle and SAS kit. I would say the hardest part of the job is grinding the frame clean that is all we did the rest of day one was grind grind grind, it only took a couple hours to plasma cut the IFS off. And the axle was already rebuilt so that speed up the process. Thanks for the complements.
