now it does. get out the cut off tool,welder, grinder, and get to work

 

Will as soon as I get it to my house. Tried driving it but its pulling to right bad. Got it at my moms. Father in law is gonna bring his truck and trailer down so we can get it home. Ready to start tearing it down.

 

i see SAS

 

no bettertime for a sas then now!!!

 

good thing she was in your truck!!! if she hit it in her eclipse that thing woulda come in the windshield...

 

Gotta find axle. Plus money and equipment are 2 things I have little of plus a garage to work in. SAS is in future. Might do BJ lift tho.

 

Uploaded few pics on my album. Will put more when I get a chance

 

So called Yoda Jim in Denver, its a 2 hour drive from me, and will get a the front core support/dog house from them for $50! SCORE!! Local yard wanted over$150. Also asked about front axle price $350 and they can sell me some lift springs for the front and rear also. Told my wife and she said if it would be easier for me to do a SAS then try to fix the IFS go ahead!! I LOVE MY WIFE!!! Told her I could do it but have to do it in driveway. She said as we get the money I can get the parts!! HELL YEA!!! Wanted to do one on the Yota since I got it in 2003, so after 8 long years the new jounry begins!!! Really stoked about it. Got a buddy I went to college with, we both studied auto tech, who said he will help, He doesnt know alot about 4x4 but will help all he can. He is your basic run of the mill Tech, but a great Tech none the less. Were Im the 4x4 guy. Will be working a little on truck on my days off at my moms then hope to have it home soon. Cant wait to get up to Yoda Jims Yard. Just hope I find a axle with the same ratio I have now as my rear. Save on money to spend. Will update soon and update some more pics. Also, my sister is doing alot better, still few bruises but she is good. Thanks for all the well wishes guys. LATER, off to work

 

I was about to post something about checking your subframe, but nevermind!

 

I've got family up in Wetmore... Lot of bears up there too.... Actually heading up there tomorrow night... I'll be packin...

 

Yoda is home!! Father in law came down with his truck and trailer to haul it. Had to put 35s on rear to load it. Had a flat again so swapped off 2to of 31s off. Then the 35s are going flat after got it home off trailer but its home.

 

Those who have done a SAS swap what in all reality does it cost? I have the IFS calipers and can prob re-use the rotors too. Will prob get used lift springs from Yoda Jim and prob pick up some tires from him also, prob 33 maybe 35s. Not sure. and i will be doing all the work myself. I know how to weld and fabricate, also know a guy who was a welder for over 20 years who said he would help. As long as axle I find has same gearing as rear I wont touch that yet. Also will prob wait on hy steer kit too, maybe get for bday next year Really only thing I have to worry about is getting the front cross brace for the shackles. I can figure something for shocks. Might pull mounts off a F250/350, they make good replacement mounts. Help me out guys, need imput!!!

 

meanwhile in canada......... i LOLED but yeah glad shes ok, and also agreed with sas, goodluck!

 

damn bears! and power poles.... and 12x12 fenceposts... at least you have a really good story if someone asks what happened. better than some of the 'well my friends and i were drinking and then...' stories

 

just a little input so i can be subscribed.. my friend just sasd his 95 runner and cost him about 1,200-1,800 and he bought the trailgear kit, hysteer and axle. i can get an exact price for you tommorow if need be. and if you need an info or picturess i have a 91 sas with an 85 front axel i could try and get you any pics or measurements if you need. try and get an 84-85 front axle! try and avoid the 83.

 

Good luck with your repair!!

I am glad your sister is ok . Does she have any idea how fast she was going ??

To have a bear slow here a little and still have enough speed . Did she snap off the pole or just push it enough to pull the wires loose?? Then hit a fence post.

I wonder how far the bear makes it talk about blunt force trauma!!

To bad your so far away I have a whole front clip for a 86 but the shipping would be a killer.

 

North- if you could send those measurements that would be great. Would help out alot.
Wyoming - she was doing bout 30mph she says. Was in residential area mile from her house. Wish u did live closer would be there quick to get clip lol. The poles in that area are older. It shattered. Wires were on road and truck. But no busted glass and a small dent in roof, maybe 1"on by 1/2" nothing major. Will be going over it tomorrow. We think lower control arms bent by ball joint bad.

 

If you search around on here there a tons of SAS conversions. Just browse around and get some ideas.

 

which measurments are you loookin for exactly?

 

Any that you have would be great. Mostly I know I will need to know about the spring mounts, Front and Rear. I know I need to figure out how to make or find a place that can make me the front spring mount piece. I see guys use what looks like 2x2 square stock. then make some front hangers. So any you have Northbend would be great and very helpful. Will be getting axle at prob Yoda Jim up in Denver CO. Will make sure I can get a 84-85 front. Can I reuse my IFS front caliper and rotor?
