I would like to watch the process. I'll be around.

I can hold stuff

BLKNBLU · 11-17-2008, 12:33 PM

So it's getting down to crunch time. Who is coming over? I need a semi-serious commitment mostly for food/soda/beer purchasing

BLKNBLU · 11-17-2008, 12:35 PM

Also, probably going to start a serious thread about the build at some point so please keep all the joking around in this one. Thanks.

Djlarroc · 11-17-2008, 12:38 PM

Nice Mike! I wish I could be there. Take lot's of pics. Can't wait to ride in it after the swap.

lofreqjeff · 11-17-2008, 07:18 PM

I can be there!

Although I may not be a good technical resource, I can take a thousand pics, not to mention I make a good go'fer!

Keep me posted!

sschaefer3 · 11-18-2008, 04:46 PM

I will make some time to stop by.

westy44runner · 11-19-2008, 07:51 AM

I am out of town, backpacking the Grand Canyon. Get lots of photos of the swap!

BLKNBLU · 11-20-2008, 08:33 PM

Thanks guys. I'll probably get started about 9am so show up anytime you like. I'll PM my addy.

sschaefer3 · 11-20-2008, 08:36 PM

E-Mail me I have PM's turned off.

RiNkY · 11-21-2008, 06:17 AM

PM me your addy. If I have time I'd like to stop by and meet some of you folks and get an idea of what you guys are doing. Planning my own SAS in the next 12 months or so.

Don't worry about counting me for Food etc. tho as I'll only be there an hour or 2 tops, just be nice to meet some of ya'll.

Well, I for one am disappointed. I didn't see one single joke about making a thread about your sac. Am I the only 5 year old around here.

wormhole · 11-22-2008, 06:23 PM

Good luck on the swap mike.

BLKNBLU · 11-23-2008, 08:00 PM

A pretty productive weekend. I got the IFS stuff dismantled on Saturday and 1 leg of the suspension stuff cut off. Got the rest of the below frame junk cut off today. A little more frame clean up and I should be able to start hanging stuff. Alas, it's back to work in the AM though.

The trouble spots were getting the Downey IFS truss off. It's was 6 kinds of jacked up. Removing the bolts on the driveshaft to pinion flange, I think they have never been touched. And finally, cutting the rear legs off the frame. They have about 8 layers of metal to get through. What a PITA!

And I'm sore all over. Not sure if I beat on the truck or vice versa. Whatever Steve charges to do this stuff, pay it. It's worth every cent.

Trying to get pregant is the fun part.
Giving birth is the hard part.

(I think in someway this relates to your current project, at least it did before I typed it out.

)

Just think how much more you'll appreciate the SAS after what you are going through now.

904_runner · 11-23-2008, 08:13 PM

Wheres all the pics????

Also what kit are you using?

Hmm. Yeah, I had to think about that one for a second.

No pics. Nobody came over so it was just me, myself, and I, and I wasn't up for the stopping, washing up, snapping pic, back to work business.

Using Trailgear stuff.

904_runner · 11-23-2008, 08:41 PM

Let me know how you like it! I think im planning on going the TG route!

Oh, one of these days ill be able to sas mine.

And isn't the rule, You have to stop and document your build???

I think everybody would love to see some pics too!

(BTW, what happened to everybody who said they would be there? lol.

)

111db · 11-23-2008, 08:52 PM

Dude! I just spotted the update to this thread right now! That sucks - I wanted to get in on that process. Sorry man.

You still need help drinking all the brews?

Nah! I'm good.

BLKNBLU · 11-23-2008, 09:04 PM

BTW 904 runner check out Elvota's threads on his build. I think he has exactly what you are looking at with yours.

904_runner · 11-23-2008, 09:13 PM

Yup i wouldn't mind making mine look like his!

Im just debating between brands for the sas kit, and i have been for awhile, and i probably will debate until i actually order a kit.

with your 4runner, what amount of lift are you looking for?

He has Trail Gear 4" fronts and 5" rear but we are going to do a custom install. His truck will be like all the other AZ trucks with the Daystar Competition stops reversed to the flip plate and we are going to do something completely new to the rear.

In the end it will be the same as all the rest I did.

Yep. What he said. Size wise it should be about like this.

And just for 904 runner, one of Elvota all twisted up.

904_runner · 11-24-2008, 08:09 PM

I might as well drive out to arizona tomorrow

then i can see these rigs in person! lol

Well last time i was there, i saw elvolta's from the other side of the freeway, but that doesn't count!
