finally ordered my sas kit from trail gear, its about time i got the ball rolling on this project

 

that's a myspace bulletin post if I ever seen one


good job, can't wait fer the pix!!!

 

cool. what axle are you using? rebuild it and put the armor on it now while it is off the truck.

and since you are doing a T-G kit you might find this info helpful...
Front Spring Hanger Placement: (when using longer than stock springs like Trail Gears)

 

i have the 84 axle with the long truss i got it at pick apart for $300.00. i ordered the 4 inch lift springs. i stripped down the axle and cleaned up all the parts. i started work on cutting the brakets that i wont need off

 

hahaha x2!!!


wheres the pics?

 

I just installed the TG kit on my truck. I was extremely happy with the kit.
What are you doing for the rear? One other thing to remember, you will have to make your a new driveshaft.

There are some pictures here https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f152/rage-s-sas-169024/

If you have questions let me know. The install is still kinda fresh in the brain..lol..

 

 

having flashbacks...lol

 

how did your shackle angles turn out, how did u mount the front spring hanger in relation to the front crossmember?

 

Wow, a local Havasu Toyota guy.

Too bad you're ditching the IFS club. Nice looking truck. I don't think I've seen it around before.

Have you been to that new junkyard in Bullhead? "All good junkyard" I think it's called? I'm wondering what kind of Toyota's they have laying around in there.

 

i need to change my location. i moved down here to fort mohave, i think that new junkyard is a new pick a part

 

note to site admins- twitter integration?

 

Ah, I was just working in Mohave Valley today, down Boundary Cone Road. I don't think I was too far away from that yard. I don't see any older Toyota's in the pictures though.

 

wut?

 

good luck hope it works out with no kinks. hit me up up if you run any trails up around payson

 

thanks ill post more pics as the project starts coming along, the kit should be here tuesday

 

Nice I got my 85 4 runner axle for $200 with the springs.
However urs looks a little less rusty.
Nice job though.

Are you gonna do the creeper ball gussets too?

 

ya i planned on getting those also

 

I mounted my front hanger flush with the frame. Shackle angle is good, and springs are still settling. I will be getting my front drive shaft this week, so I will have some pictures up by next weekend.

I bought these also and I installed the steering stops tabs and the lower gussets in. I really saw no need to install the uppers. I am not a hardcore rocks crawler and don't think that I will be bashing my front tires up onto obstacles. But good luck with the install and the hardest part is getting the frame cut for the shackles. Just remember to measure twice and cut once...lol... well maybe just measure about 100 times and cut or weld once...lol.. good luck again!!!!

Laterz

 

im wondering if im going to have to have the ball ends cut and turned to be able to get my driveshaft angle right, if i cant i think ill just go with a high pinion differential
