Tacoma SAS pics - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

KStacoma · 08-23-2006, 08:33 AM

With the help of some friends we got my tacoma solid axle swap done and i figured i'd post up some pics for fun. Specs on the truck are-
It's a waggy front axle, truck has 4.88's and fr/rr lockers. Putting 35 mtr's on after alignment, still need my rear aal's for the 63" chevy's and my front driveshaft.
The biggest help was Duane "Techtafab", i'd highly recommend him to anyone w/a yota related project, his work is top notch.

Nice castor angle. EDIT: Nevermind, looks like the perches are rotated.
How does it drive on the freeway?

Truck looks great Jamie. Sorry I could not help, I am just busy most weekends and you are on the other side of town

Duane has a great shop and builds some cool stuff.

Yeah the knuckles were rotated so castor angle is good. It runs perfect down the highway up to 80mph but from about 15-35 mph or something is is a little tweakish w/the steering. I have a stabilizer in the mail though so hopefully that will figure it out.

Chris- thanks man, no sweat on not being available to help, it turned out good that we did it at Duanes cause he has a crazy assortment of tools etc. and a lift made it nice.

Kurt- yeah yeah i know, just have to get some more shit tweaked and ordered first!

He goes to school not to far from there I think. He goes to KSROCKS and Disney from what I have heard.

Damn Jamie! What front springs? That flexes like crazy! Truck still looks really straight. I knew the 33's would not last that long

I'll be at ks rocks as soon as i get a front driveshaft then disney, d-day, and tuttle.
Chris- thanks man! The front springs are 5 lower stock waggy's from the 7 leaf pack and the 2 upper mil. wrapped rancho 44044 springs.

With that severe of a spring angle on an SRS, you are going to have to have one hell'uva slip on your driveshaft.
