Yes, the trail was not that rough. We just thought the hill climb was more than what it was. We were staged at the bottom and could not see the top around the corner. It was muddy and steep, that coupled with hearing the big block motors of the previous guys gave is the idea that we had to carry a little more speed than needed. The lift was just a fluke. If you watch closely the PS front tire just hit the right little ledge and launched the truck.

Very nice. I am glad somebody gets to do this stuff!
If you have any use for a salesman, I would be willing to sleep on a cot in the corner to be able to play like you guys do! Christo, video link is not working? Last edited by justimaginejack; 12-13-07 at 10:31 AM. |

Thanks for waiting until the magazine came out before you posted this Christo. I am always impressed by what you guys come up with at Slee (and how you find the time to keep customers happy and spend so much time designing new parts- you must really love what you do).

I haven't wear goofy hat like your in this video since 1978 but keep it as your good luck charm for not rolling over backward.

I freaked out when I saw this in the 4wd SUV mag. It's almost always Jeeps in that mag and very occasional Toyota article. I was just complaining to my wife about how I never see Toyotas in there and the next day the mag showed up with what else? A freak of a 100 series. Incredible truck, mang. Great job!

Awesome truck, Christo. Could the entire SAS, steering and suspension, including parts and labor, be done on an existing 100 for under $20K out the door? Just curious.
Also very excited for you to mass produce the belly armor. Are you going to do it? __________________ '98 100-Series- ARB front, Slee rear, OME lift, Bilsteins, 285s, AOB rack, ARB locked front, Warn 9.5, 140K miles '07 Taco Double Cab 4x4 |

Cole, actually the axle alone was about $5k if you add the ARB, housing, knuckles, birfs, hi-steer etc etc. We had 120 hours into that swap. That alone is about $10k, however I am sure we can do it in less time now. So under $20k is doable, just depends on how it is done and what is put under the front end.

Why someone would do that to a perfectly good LC I have no idea. That doesn't do anything for me but, to each his own !!
