I saw this write-up a few months back in one of my 4WD mags I subscribe too.

The article is online I just noticed. Pretty cool how he went about modifying his rig.
He's got the best of both worlds. A partial removable top, and 4 doors.
Looks like his rig could go just about anywhere to.

Here is the article.

 

WOW!! Everything about that Runner is pretty amazing. Especially the rear 1/4 eliptical rock buggy springs.

I have been wondering about how to convert a Jeep 5 lug front axle to the Toy 6 lug pattern for a SAS, anyone know the details on this?

 

What Jeep axle are you wanting to use Matt?

 

Well, I noticed that pretty much the only Jeeps with the diff set off to the right are CJs. What is that, a Dana 44 in a CJ7?

 

I am not sure about the older Jeeps, but the newer ones are crappy Dana 30's. Why not use a Toy axle?

 

I was just wondering aloud since the bobbed runner up top has a Jeep axle but the 6 lug pattern. I have no intentions of going to the dark side anytime soon.

Edit:

OMG!! Upon further review I think there is problem with the steering arms. There dosent seem to be any clearance between the arm and the leaf spring. It seems like the steering arm hitting the spring would be the limiting factor for wheel stuff. A hard hit would bust a ball joint at the least. I'm judging by this pic. With the way everything else looks to be built on it, I doubt they skimped on this but you never know.

 

Man, that is pretty sweet. I don't think I would have the you know whats to do that to mine, but if I would, that is how I would want it. Nice! :fireman:

 

I'd love to see Corey do that mod! There'd be boxes and drawers and air bottles all flapping around behind the beast.

He he he he, but I'd have to give up my sub woofer...
Can't do that now
