BTT, maybe someone else will read this and can offer up any advise to my sas.

 

Ill keep my eye on it. But looks good so far.

 

supposedly its supposed to be here on tuesday, but ive heard that aussie has trouble getting there stuff out on time so who knows.

 

Thanks 4rnr!

and i hope you get that locker soon Travis.


Got my marlin knuckle gussets today, so now i need to get my hands on a welder to put theses gussets on and need to find a 5.29 third for the front SFA.

Then i can Finish putting the axle together and wait for the SAS Kit.

Oh, hopefully in the next week or two i can order the kit. Almost there!

 

EEK its not even mine and im excited lol.

 

Yea. im not really. i just want to get it done! HAHAHA

I want to be able to do brake stands in my 4runner, not the limited! lol Man where are those 5.29's?

We will have to go wheeling as soon as i get my diff back! You will have to bring some recovery straps as well as mine. Since i will only have 2wd! lol

 

Okay, i spent a bunch of time yesterday cleaning out the rear housing. There was a TON of metal flakes in there. TONS.... I used somewhere around 2 1/2 rolls of those blue shop towels and like 3 cans of brake cleaner. So i believe i got it pretty darn clean.

So i still haven't gotten a call to pick up my differential. So while i am here, do any of you put an extra magnet inside the axle housing to help collect metal particles? So then i get to follow the fun break in period for the new gears.

 

BTT:

Still no differential. Hopefully tomorrow.
What do you guys recommend for new gear break in fluid? just some cheap valvoline then switch to redline or something?

 

To the top!!!

 

The cheap stuff. Its cheap and, atleast for some motors, it is better for break in.

 

Thank you!

motor? lol

Well, the guy was closed for the weekend i guess, so hopefully tomorrow. Once i get that damn differential back, i can start driving my rig again.

And hopefully in a week or so i can order my sas kit. Still deciding between Trail Gear and Marlin though. I keep switching back and forth. Don't get me wrong i like marlin crawler and everything, ive bought quite a bit of stuff from them, but that extra savings of the TG kit might be worth it for me. But quality, durability and how i like the company are important to me. I haven't had a problem with Marlin, but i have never experienced purchasing things from Trail gear.

Ive been Pm'ing some people who have used either kit, and it seems both kits are really liked by the people who use them.

So if anybody has any input on either company, please share, i would love to hear peoples comments from both companies to make my decision.

Thanks

TTT!

Still no differential!

Ill try calling the guy on my break

 

we can go to his shop and ill bust his head open with the butt of my gun. jk anyway, ya i talked to that guy in oroville who is a vendor and hes going to get me a price for everything minus the axle rebuild and the wheel bearings, but i just remembered while wrighting this that i forgot to tell him that you dont nee the axle trus or knuckle truss, oh well i can tell him later.

Travis, im not even going to click on that link.

AHAHAHAH.. I need to start driving my own truck. This automatic 4runner is driving me nuts! lol. At least it has the 3.4 and a good stereo system! lol

 

ttt...

So anybody wanna make any recommendations for either Marlin or TG sas kits, besides go with who you wanna support.

 

skyjacker... but in all seriousness just grow a pair and pick one.

 

Marlin. Because thats who I want to support

Marlin has better springs.

 

where did this go down? have you been to cohasset yet this season?

i'll be watching this one. keep it up 904

 

Whats on cohasset?
