I accidentally ordered the Celsius version, then realized my mistake and had my order corrected to the Fahrenheit version, so I guess it is really gonna be up in the air as to wether I get the Celsius or Fahrenheit. lol

Just got off the phone with LCEngineering, they said the headers from a first gen pickup will fit on my 4Runner... YAY! all i need to do is run a gasket from an 86' (duh) which I already have.

The ARB mounts under the frame rail like mine, what I would do if I was doing an SAS, the front spring hangers are on the front tip of the frame and the ARB has steel plates going towards the frame and instead of the mounting under which with an SAS you can't do and I would welds on some more plates to be able to mount on the side of the frame Instead of underneath, Just like the other mounting points on both sides on the front 2 body mounts.
I just looked at my bumper and body mounts pics on puter, There really is no reason to be able to reattach the ARB to the 2 bolts where the factory tow hooks go? Or just cut off that area and you will still have the outer ones and the 2 on the front cross member, that is plenty? just get grade 8.8 metric, if you still want more mounting then make a plate and weld it and that will be U shaped to go under the body mount and bolt it to the side of the frame instead of beneath...

Cut this area out...



Drivers side, Weld on a plate here and drill some pass through bolts holes through the frame and bolt that there...



On passenger side, Same thing weld a plate, drill some pass through bolt holes through the frame and bolt that there...



Your going to do some welding or have welding done for front spring hanger and the through bolt hanger through the frame, so you can do or have the bumper modified. Or just cut out the white area on the first pic, and just use the remaining attachment bolts only, Just some idea's I'm throwing at you...

Get yourself some POR-15 and a wire wheel to clean and coat everything you can. The rust belt we live in will wreck your project.

POR-15 is expensive, was $32 bucks with tax for a pint at Lafayette's only Body only parts store, I was stunned!!!! He says here is another brand of the same formula for around $15 a 1/2 pint and if you add is up your only saving 2 bucks, so I just got the por-15. Next time I'm getting the 6-pack Por-15 in the smaller cans so not waste as much as I did...

So have you decided when/where this SAS is taking place? what kit are you going with and what size? what size tires are you shooting for?

Looks like the SAS will be taking place in the spring/summer.

Going to go with the IFS Eliminator Kit 3" up front with the 3rd leaf removed and 3" out back.

Planning on running 35's!
