well, next on my 91 sas will be to think about the steering, i'm using a bj60 front diff s.o.a,
anybody got ideas or what has worked and what hasn't worked. trying to do this on the Cheap!, no bolt on stuff for me, more of the booty fab stuff. it's basically justa trail rig now.

pics would be sweet.
thanks

Any pictures of your axle under the trooper and where is is going to be positioned? High steer is always nice if you can run it withough binding. I switched to a scout steering box so I could run high steer as well as push my axle forward and keep it from binding.

This is kinda a vague question... you haven't given us much to go on....

You can choose to go with tie rod ends or spherical rods ends (heim joints) depending on your preference, neither option is really cheaper than the other. But you'll wanna make sure you have the correct rod ends for the steering arms you are using... stock arms are usually tapers for TRE's while aftermarket arms can be ordered either way. placement of the tie rod and drag link pretty much depends on what you have room for, again, something you'll have to answer... many options exist. beyond thats, its just a matter of buying the parts and putting them together, so i'm not sure exactly what sort of advice you are seeking?

be more clear and you'll get better answers.

you can check me out in the vendor section...pimp hat on :grinpimp:

always running specials on steering set ups for D44, D60, etc

or you can call the shop 804-550-0480 and i'd be happy to go over some pros and cons w/ you on this.

Just remember that its illegal to run hiems for steering up here...

got any wheelin pics yet of ur superscrew, grandpa?

the trooper will now be a trail only rig, legal is no longer important.

i'll get some pics as soon as i put the diff under it. throwing in some 300zx turbo seats today as well.
:flipoff2:

throwing in some 300zx turbo seats
wow, those should be good for like 20 hp

ya I do have pics, I'll post em up

if your using a BJ40 (Toyota) Front Axle, Sky or Marlin will have hysteer arms, and tie rod and draglinks all set up for 1 ton TRE.. Thats what i would do..

well, now that it won't be astreet rig at all, once it breaks instead of finding new birfs i'll just swap a new axle in. the hard part is done.(SAS). i do have a FF 14 bolt sitting in my shop. just need a front 60. :flipoff2:
i just want to get back on the trails.

Ya I'd like to find a 60 too. just missed out on one on BC4x4 for $600 :shaking: I'm thinking of a trip to the island this summer so hopefully you'll be ready.
