SAS is Solid Axle Swap

I don't know your mom, so I couldn't tell ya whether to beg her for the cash. If she's gonna hold that over your head forever, I'd say no, but if she'll buy it for ya no questions asked, get it. Try and talk em down to $300 and see if he'll take it.

That sucks. it's like that in Cali, too. Some stuff is like 500 miles away

88-surf

im not sure if um new zealand is 500 miles long lol hahahaha that sux aye but ohwell there will always be another deal well most of the time.

stormin94

Cali is longer than 500 miles, I'm talking driving distances. It's probably more like 700 miles long. Anyway, yes, there will always be other deals.

yup deffinatly. what sorta truck you drive?

stormin94

I've got a 1994 Toyota 4Runner (I think everywhere else in the world it's a Hilux surf, or something like that) It has the 3.0 liter gasoline engine, and the 5speed manual tranny. 4X4. All my modifications are in my signature in the bottom of my posts. It's mostly stock, but has a few things on it to make it more powerful, better gas mileage, and better ride, etc.

got any pictures?. . . . . I think the hilux surfs are only new zealand and ausy brands? i don't know tho lol.

stormin94

nope, no pics. My camera is broken. I think they have those in japan, and europe, maybe even asia and africa, too. When I get some pics, I'll be sure to post them, too. It seems everyone here want's to see my rig, but for some reason I have failed to deliver any pics. I'll work on getting a new camera sometime this month, and I'll post some pics.

88-surf

use some one elses camera then hahaha.

I realy have to make a metal skid plate aye not the stock plastic 1. and lift the front some more som how. i get prity good flex with the tbars don up till the shocks don't go no further lol.

I found some wheels on trademe .but im not sure how big of a wheel i can fit on the front with only a little bit of triming etc. . . i want 33x12s on it if that will fit and how much trimming will need to be made?

stormin94

It sounds like you are a prime candidate for some Ball Joint spacers. They can lift the front an extra 1-1.5 inches, and then you can crank the torsion bars for an extra inch if you want it. you may want to do manual locking hubs for the front, because the CV's will be at a pretty harsh angle, and will not last too long like that. 33's would fit on mine stock with no trimming, but only 33-10.50's. You will likely need new longer shocks if you do the BJ spacers, and a t-bar crank. You shouldn't need to trim that much even if you keep stock suspension.

yea i know i should do the manual locking hubs ive just got to find some or an old hilux or somthing to steal them off. (wen i say steal i meen buy if you get what i meen?)

So will 33x12s fit?.

are wheels spacers a good idea or are they not strong or somthing? because im going to put the wheels out side my wheel wells

88-surf

im off now i will be back on later some time.

stormin94

I think 33-12.50's should fit, you'll have to trim the fenders out , I'm not sure how good they'll fit, but I've got a friend with an 88 pickup, and he's got 33-15.50's with no lift. But they rub like nobody's business.

88-surf
