When he does his sas, the cross member will have to go up over the drive shaft to allow it to swing down. I do like your fab work thou.

Nah it should be alright. I mocked it up with a double cardon joint I had lying around and it had clearance through to 28deg

Its booked in for cert on Wednesday :mrgreen:

I love presure :lol:

Its back on its wheels now (been slack with the pix :roll:

) So all I have to do now is pull it to bits, fully weld, paint and reassemble :wink:

Then there is a auto locker to swap into a 4.3:1 rear diff and make a drop bracket for the rear diff

Yip no problems there. Similar amount of work as the one I built on that Pajero. That cost $1350 + Gst. Maybe abit more with a winch fitted but bugger all.

tomsoffroad · Post by **tomsoffroad** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 1:04 am

Well the Sas is finished and the IFS hub swap

Now I have to swing it around and chuck in the 80 series rear coils, put in the new rear brake hose, fabricate a panhard drop bracket for the rear, swap the rear diff head and install a lokrite in the rear :mrgreen:

Oh yeah and be at certifiers by 1pm tomorrow :shock:

Best I go to bed :lol:

Over and out
