I'm willing to order one wheel spacer and test with a 80 series rim. It's 6X5.5 correct? What off set rim would I need to bring the rim back in? I do not like 2" spacers.
 
Yes, we have hi-steer arms. I am just pointing out the technical issues not always apparent in web fabrication.
Was there a reason for not going with the high steer on your build? Sorry if I missed it. Clint


Disregard. Looks like you lose ABS with your set up. I looked at hellfire but doesn't mention anything about ABS.

What about lcwizard widener and custom inners? Seems to work well for the 60 crowd. Saves from buying custom housing.

How much for custom inners?

^ if he has one laying around and/or cheap at least R&D and end job would serve as version 1. No matter who/what...subsequent versions always are different...slight or big.

Anxious to see the project get underway...
 
Did you not read Christo's post? Let alone this thread? The 80 axles aren't up to the task.

Re-read Slee post - I read it as custom axles are stronger, easier to work with, and are not his business first choice. Many 80 axles out there run large tires and HP successfully.:rolleyes:

This thread is about SAS, any innovation to making it happen should be welcome.

I look forward to all options of any kind and what JonesysOffroad, Rockjock, or anyone else comes up with.:clap:
 
We are starting a 100 SAS project ASAP, using 80 axles. Might even get some cummins power along the way.... :cheers:

Anxious to see what you guys come up with.

I'm a big fan of Joel and Shawn and all the products they design and produce.
 
Nice, Dave is a good guy, his new website, http://www.4plusproducts.com/home.html We are starting a 100 SAS project ASAP, using 80 axles. Might even get some cummins power along the way.... :cheers:
Haha damn you! That was my idea!!! But mine was a built 4bta with a 4L80e and stock tcase so I can run some decent power. :) let the race begin!

So, gonna put a solid axle under a 100, then swap the more desirable, in my opinion, 2UZ?

Not that it matters, but I'm lost on the goal, here. Seems more rational to swap a 4BT in an 80...BUT I say get it on and give me a shout when selling the 2UZ.

In my opinion the stock v8 vvt or not isn't up to par in my eyes for this heavy rig. A diesel gains more power plus better mpg than the stock v8. My idea isn't to spend 15k on a low mileage rig and chop it all up, I'm searching for a high mileage cheaper vehicle to start with.

I think I stopped reading right after Slee posted regarding the V8, and stock 80 axles. I believe the OP asked about stock 80 axles. My assumption was Shawn running stock axles.

I always thought the 80 axle was the easiest option for us. It's a Toyota axle, OEM parts, only thing against us is 6 lug and width.

X2.

If its was PURELY about the 80 axles being able to handle the power/weight, I think we'd be seeing more of the 80 guys with S/C's, Turbo's, 4BT's or 2uz swaps with issues.

I interpreted Slee's post as the stock 80 axles weren't beefy enough for the weight, V8, and size tires. There are a lot of 80 guys running oversized tires and powerful motors. I'm not sure why the 100 would be any different, but then again that's how I interpreted his post. There are more upgrades for 80 axles than 100's.
