Calling all SAS'd 100s (1 Viewer)

[WGHARV0]

Hello, my name is Wes, owner of SHW Off-road. I am currently SASing my LX470. I am planning on having a booth at Cruise Moab next spring and would like to get as many SAS'd 100's together for a trail ride as possible. If you have a SAS'd 100 post a pic below, even if you aren't able to make it, but if you are interested in going let me know and I will try and get some things in the works for this.

105's WELCOM TOO!!!

Wait, you got your truck done or it's just rolling? Either way, it looks great!

Just rolling at the moment. Still probably a month of work

That’s a trussed front diff housing, nice! I assume 4-link with coilovers on all corners?

3linked in the front, 4 in the rear with ORIs at the corners.

Just want to bring the post back to life if possible. Trying to locate all of the SAS'd 100s. I currently know of 9 and have contact with 5 of them. The four I don't have contact with are three that Slee has done, and one that was shown on a youtube channel called "Shoulda been Offroad". I am sure there are more, just trying to locate as many as possible!

@tornadoalleycruiser bought the Trail Tailor SAS test mule. He's been trying to get it sorted out since he bought it.

so.. Moab you say? That's usually April ish? I can prob do that.. I am at a point in my life that wheeling and hanging out with friends is more important than work.. Might even put these parts back before the trip.. She works well, kept up with the locked 80's in 3wd.. Still a few things to sort but yeah.. i can prob bring it out..

Assuming you know of mine, I have a small online presence so I wouldn't think you know. But I'm trying to make it to cruise moab as well, after I blew my 8" r&p and bent my trussed 80 housing, have a Diamond housing on the way, +4" width with 9.5 third to fix those problems, but have some steering issues as well. Just hope I have time to get it done by April.

Trevor Pepperdine, correct? If so, you're on my list, we've talked on facebook before.

I believe it is the weekend of April 21-23. I am going to have a booth there. I hope you can make it. I will also add you to my list of SAS'd 100 owners!

That's me. We suck at filming.

awesome, glad I found you. One of your videos popped up and the first thing is the LX driving towards the camera, I looked at it and had to do a double take as it looked just like mine!

Here is mine as it sit right now. For scale, that is a 32" log. No where near max flex. I am buttoning up some small things hoping to take it on it's first trail ride in a few weeks.

those kits are funny... all that money to have radius arms... if you're going through all that trouble and expense, should be linked ....

I went with radius arms/80 suspension for predictability. I agree that the 3-link is superior off road, but I wanted predictable road manners. Mine drives exactly like an 80. That being said, I would NOT recommend the TT kit. Over priced, missing important components, lacking decent instructions, terrible customer service, and a lot of cut corners. If I could do it over, I would have done radius arms with coil-overs. I probably could have gotten most of what I needed at Barnes for a fraction of the cost. I feel like with 3-link, you really need to know what you're doing to get the geometry right. There are plenty people a lot smarter and capable than me; I'll leave the 3-links to them. For my purposes, the radius arms accomplish what I wanted.

Mine was built for fun, so it's a little banged up.

 

[peacesells63]

I have one. Not sure if I will make cruise Moab, may be on a different trip at that time

For the record, my comment was more so digging at TT than anyone who went the radius arm route. Not poking at you whatsoever.

I got blocked from all of his stuff because I made a critical comment about a part I got from him. Terrible customer service, backyard mechanic charging premium engineering money.

I didn't take it as a poke whatsoever. You are absolutely correct about the TT kit... My buddy got blocked by him for the exact same reason.

You guys complaining about the radius arm kits but running 80 series axles
