Joni told me last night that since we've sold the F350 I could SAS the Runner. So I'll be ordering parts next week and hope to get everything done by mid Apr.
I'm selling the SAS parts I had which was only the 44044 springs and Budbuilt tie rod. After pricing the parts from Trail Gear that I'd need to finish the SAS I'd be better off just buying the whole SAS kit from then, the same goes for the rear.
I'm going to get the 85 front axle tomorrow for only $150 hub to hub.
So the new shopping list is,
From Trail Gear,
Rock Sliders
Solid Axle Swap Kit 5 Inch Springs
Rear Lift, 5 Inch Springs
For the gearing and locker,
Already have the ARB in the rear and for the front I've found a Elocker for $200 plus shipping. My other option is to move the ARB up front and get a full Detriot lock for the rear. Gears are going to be Yukon 5.29s or 5.71s. I think I may go with the 5.71s cause my engine doesn't have enough power for turn the 32"s with 4.56s. I'm not going to be going dual T cases any time soon either. The whole myth that 5.71 gears are weak is so untrue, Zuk the toyota gear god clears that up on his site.
Tires/wheels,
36" or 37" Goodyear hummer tires and recentered hummer double bead locks for trails and I'm going to look for a cheap set of 35" A/T tires for the street (later on)
Drive shafts,
there is a custom drive shaft shop here in Jax.
I'm hopping to get around $1k out of some my old parts. The front diff on my Runner has Auburn LSD. I also have Downey’s 26mm Torsion Bars and the OME lift. I'm sure I could get around $500 for the 5 32" BFG M/Ts that all have close to 70% life left. I also have the 44044 springs and budbuilt tie rod.
I'm going to keep the ARB bumper and have it made to fit with the SAS. I'm going to sell the Warn M8000 winch and get a T-Maxx 10k to replace it.
If anyone see something that I missed/forgot/didn't think about please tell me.
Can't wait to start and so I can go
