So, I bought this 89 SAS v6 4runner for 600 bucks. That is not a misprint-- I bought an SAS 4runner for 600 and it drives. Surprisingly, the SAS was performed with all-pro components, hi-steer, armor, trussed etc. After I got it running, I thought about lockers, lsd, etc. But, I really want to just use this 4runner for off road, so then I thought about simply putting a spool in front and rear and being done with it.

Has anyone ever done full spool on both ends? How does it drive? Can you even turn at all?

I have a locker in the front of my 87 with ifs and turning sucks the big one. Most of the time you can't even turn the wheel when locked and backing up.

 

Pics or it didnt happen!

and its gonna be rough to turn but super strong.

id spool rear and lsd front maybe? it really depends on what you want out of it.

 

Ok, well here is a pic of it: [IMG] Uploaded with ImageShack.us[/IMG]

Nevermind the scary 9" shackles in the rear or all the dents. I'm going to fix this up so its not a junker. I also am planning on some 36" tires, these 31's were just to drive it home.

 

Spool with hydro assist wouldn't be too bad I have a lockright up front and with my 37's aired down to 3psi it can be a pain to turn when locked but hydro assist is cheap and would be the way to go if u wanna spool the front. Other wise get a lockright of some sort if ur trying to stay cheap. I would stay away from a LSD

 

And I'm pretty sure theirs a stick about this.

 

kinda looks like ya got ruf already looks like winning to me. spool it just unlock the long shaft when your doing (light wheeling)

 

Spool in the front will bring the suck.
