depending on the tools you have or the people you know it can be as low as $500

You can get a pretty sweet SAS kit for a lil over a grand thats sweet. comes with EVERYTHING(minus frontend) for the front.

if you have all the parts and tools it shouldn't take more than a weekend.

The hard part is finding a good straight axle, other than that all you need is the kit to install it and a weekend to get it done.

If you were closer, I've got a axle laying around. It's stripped down, all the parts are there but in boxes. Needs a rebuild kit and some welding. I had cut it for an elocker and bought another axle with an elocker and longs. It's got a slight bend on the long side which could be bent out (might do that anyways). I've even got an extra hysteer (trail gear) that's set up for a Toyota to samuri steering but I believe it's just one part that you'd need to replace for Toyota. I still need to figure that part out.

If your going to go with the trail gear kit let me know I can hook you up... Once you get the kit all you need is the front axle and to do something the rear. Let me know if you want the trail gear kit.
