You hit it right on the spot, I want to spend 3000$ that I bust my ass for 60 hours a week to look "macho" bravo.. hmmm let's go back to the basics, sfa: better articulation, ability to run larger tires, durability, simplistic design and then ifs: handles high speeds better, ability to jump...

Ive read that also and I might consider it but I hear even with 35s if you wheel it hard the waggy d44 doesnt hold up when locked.

yes I have done my research and found some information on full size axle swaps but not much. Ive read mostly on the d44 out of a grand wagoneer and will most likely end up that rout if I cant salvage parts off the ford. I believe the axles are about 7 in wider... no need for wheel spacers there...

I was hoping I could use the fords dana 44, its a drivers side diff i believe. Save some money on brackets, leafs, axle, brakes, ect.. I was talking to my buddy and he seemed pretty confident it would work.

My front end is shot, like really bad.. Ive already had to put in 3 cv axles, a wheel bearing, plus my steering racks going out all my ball joints and tie rods need replaced. Oh and my brakes are gonezo, and all my shocks and coils are shot. I know IFS can be very capable but I really love the...

Thanks for the responce, I wanted to stick with 33s for gearing reasons (4.88 is a common gear in both the d44 and toy8) and I would like to keep the lowest lift possible, but I know that can be difficult with an sas, so Im going for around 4 in. I would not want to run the toy front axle...

Thank you I just posted it over there. Id like a little more articulation and ground clearance, 4 inches would keep me happy.

I'm looking to add a sfa to my 1996 3.4 5 speed T4r and had a few questions. -My buddys have sas's their chevys, how much different is the Toyota? -Could you put the axles off and older chevy or ford under and use their brackets? (I have access to some) -I know the cheaper way to go is a...

So I recently crashed my 1996 4runner 3.4 5 speed 240xxx miles. Its mostly repaired now, new front fenders, hood, radiator, headlights, and she was running good again. But I need a new radiator support to line everything up correct, a new windshield, and new airbags if I want them. Now the front...

Ill get some up when i get back from snowboarding tomorrow its all white, well now more brown than white haha but she handles real good in the mud I like the 5 speed i just learned how to drive one today lol

Well I picked up a clean 3g 4runner 5speed with 220k miles today for $3600, but very well maintained. Took it out mudding it did pretty damn good till i sorta burred the front end in a ditch. No damage except cracked the running boards, which Im pulling off anyways. but my buddy pulled me out...

Well my mom said she'd help me out a bit to get something nicer so Im going to try and see this thing, she sure looks clean. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/cto/2927233030.html I really want a 5 speed for the rpm's control and so you can rock out of the mud when you get stuck. Also its a good...

Thanks for the advice, i think Im going to keep looking for one in better condition I would like to keep it for a while and build it up. I found this also she said they hit a deer though but its all fixed and the sunroof is stuck open just a bit. 96 Toyota 4Runner 4WD SK5

Thanks yea I saw those but Im only 18 and I have about 4500 saved up. Thats why I was wondering if you think itd be better to wait another month ill have about 5500 and get something with lower miles or spend that grand on the suspension?

220k on the body i know its pretty beat but i could get it for maybe 3500 if i talk him down. clean title 3.4 4x4. he said all the carpet and headliners out and painted white. I know a buddy that has a spray booth and would help me fix and paint it at cost but do you think the damage on the...
