I'll just get right into it and up to date real quick.
Seems Pirate is dying off unfortunately so here we are.
So anyways I started this in 2022 and finally getting around to wrapping it up. After a few years in a full size I realized the Jeep/s10/ect advantage in width vs my suburban...
Here we have a 2008 Tundra 5.7 4x4 that lived in New York for some time. Made it's way down to Florida and was tagged and driving up until maybe 2 years ago when the brake lines finally rusted apart and locked up. My buddy bought the truck for $1k and we found a set of 4.30 leaf spring Super...
A friend bought this truck new. 4cyl, manual trans. Currently has blown out total chaos kit on the front suspension. It just failed inspection. So we’re in the planning and collecting parts phase.
Currently 4.88 geared, arb front and rear. 35s.
Plan is;
99-04 ford dana 60, f450 variant with...
Got a Skys SAS kit I'm going to be putting on my 4runner, just have a question about jig placement for cutting the hole for the frame tubes. From what I have gathered online there is a little "window" in the frame under the body mount where as my 2nd gen 4runner has a little plate over it that...
Lil back story. Have owned this rig close to 3 years and it's been my daily/overland rig the entire time. As any nissan guy knows the factory ifs and steering leaves a lot to be desired and with the 35s it's pretty poor to drive and they rub like crazy so might as well sas to fix those problems...
As title states I am trying to decide what leafs to use when doing the SAS in my 91' 4runner w/ 3.4 swap.
Its my first time building a solid axle rig, so if I ask anything dumb please chalk it up as I am new to this crap lol.
I have the Sky's SAS kit with ultra clearance front hangar and high...
I have some misc. crawler parts left over. The 3" Trail Gear wheel spacers are used but not abused or marked up, they include Toyota lug nuts. The shackles are a little tweaked but could be straightened, nice condition otherwise. They are for Yota frame hangers with I believe 63" springs...
Thinking about doing a SAS project. I remember that their was a company selling the kit that he made, but I don't remember who it was. I did find the files that he posted on the old site, so I could probably have someone cut it out for me. Was just wanting to see if someone was still selling it.
I have a 1988 Nissan Pathfinder up for sale.It has a SAS front jeep Waggy Dana 44.5.13 gears has a OX locker front has a lunchbox locker in rear. 35 in tires in good shape,I'd say 90%. It has 3.7 crawler gears. Redneck ram hydro assist. 3 link in front 4 link in rear. Disk brakes in rear as...
This one has quite the Pirate history, originally built in the early 2000's by EvlMnky, I bought it from VonWilsonator back in 2018. I am hoping to keep it from falling into the hands of a nephson posting it here. She lived the majority of her life in CA, Wilson got stationed in West Virginia...
Maybe this is better in chit chat, I’m just looking to get ideas for a potential next build.
Other than the obvious electronic and aesthetic differences, what’s the low down on 1st Gen and 3rd Gen rangers
Any motors to avoid, or just go for 4.0?
I would prefer a manual for this build and...
Hello all. New here, following the migration.
Anyway I have a 2009 hummer H3 alpha that I had solid axle swapped a few years ago with a gm dana 44 and the stock rear 10 bolt. Thorparts (specialize in hummer h3 parts) did the original swap.
I am now swapping in a dana 60/14 and coilovers to...
I'm looking for build threads on 1/2 ton 99-2006 GMs. I'm planning out my Tahoe build. Most of the builds I see are swapping In 1 Ton axles. I don't need to go that extreme I think. I'd like to swap in a front straight axle and keep the 6 lug. I know you can swap the hubs on a 2000-01 dodge 1500...
I acquired this 4runner a couple months ago and finally got a little time to test it out to make sure everything was working. I made it to the lake with the family and one of our 3 dogs. It was all sand and rocks with a little mud but took it easy trying to feel it out.

Title says it all, looking for an axle to sas my 1999 Tacoma with. Tired of breaking CV axles and rack and pinions. Dont want to spend the money to fix the steering yet again but want it driving again instead of just sitting.
Located in 93446, the closer the better
I miss the days of forums like these, the social media domain has taken over and I’ve fell victim to it over the years.
Anyway, I’ve daily drove this 2000 Nissan Frontier 3.3 for about a year, with little intentions on doing anything to it as it drove and ran so well.
I then found a cheap...
I just bought 37x12.5r17s and some rims that are 9" wide, -12 offset, which is about 4.5" back space,(according to online calculators). Doing a bunch of research everyone typically runs 3.75" back spacing it seems, but is that necessary for clearance or just to get a wider stance?
I will use...
My 4th gen has had the stock ps pump since I finished the build (about a year and half ago)
It’s got a scout 2 steering box drilled and tapped with a 2”x8” trailgear ram and it was steering slow as can be and in the snow it was scary to drive because you couldn’t correct oversteer fast enough...
I know there are a bunch of D21 SAS's ou there but I don't remember any on the old thread and I guess it will be the first here. This is my first build thread and will probably be used as much for questions as sharing my experience.
So here's the plan:
