Tundra SAS conversion
Flyin6:
Years ago I discovered the TRD off road package I had on my Ivan Steward edition Tundra meant it was capable of pulling off the road onto a parking lot or driveway. the truck had 4WD in the event the driveway was gravel, and even low range in the event you had groceries in the back seat.
I was so disappointed with the off-highway capability of that truck that one day I decided to commit to a solid front axle.
I thought I'd show that commitment by simply putting it on jack stands, then using a plasma torch to get the stock junk on the ground!
Flyin6:
I sourced a high pinion Dana44 from an ancient Ford F250
Yea, what I was thinking...Dana 44 in an F250.
Oh well, I bought it!
Flyin6:
Then I slid it under the frame rails using plumb bobs to accurately locate it
Flyin6:
PVC really increases accuracy!
Well, maybe it doesn't, but I was believing my way through it!
I ended up deciding to do a coil-over 4-link mostly because everyone else was doing leaf springs
I had to build the arms myself from DOM tubing and a 3/4" threaded insert and home-made studded jonny joints
Flyin6:
Had a cool garage floor before I started too!
