Question: Wouldn’t it be MUCH less expensive, to find a complete Land Cruiser Front solid Axle. Swap the steering knuckles side to side for the correct drop. And cut the front hangars, shock mounts off a donor truck (or make them). And then the Crossover kit. Check out Zuk’s SAS build. Zuk is a well known Differential Builder from Arizona. I’m pretty certain I could do the leaf-spring SAS for a fraction of this expensive build.
the reason you think its cheaper for you to do leafs is because it is, but only if you do not factor in labor costs and assume a lot of used/free parts and only use cheapo shocks. also the labor involved in flipping an 80 housing to drivers drop is a lot, pre built housings are cheap comparatively. cost difference if you buy mostly new/nice parts ends up being coilovers vs whatever shocks youd run with leafs
That drop axle shyt is for the birds! I wish I knew that the quality of the TG front springs was also complete garbage 🗑 I just ordered replacement ALCAN from springs that I had custom made, I'm sure it will improve my front suspension, can't wait, they'll be here in a few days and out will go the TG crap that broke the first time out, on the shake down offroad trip to Rausch Creek PA offroad park, she's also my daily driver, and has to deal with the tuff streets of NYC/Long Island, and I'm sure my new springs will do just that! Great video, you guys tell the truth, it ain't cheap, but totally worth every penny!
Yeah man there are some things that aren't great about the TG kit for sure... the air shocks that were on this build originally aren't on it anymore because they really can't handle the stress that they take. We're going to notch the frame and switched him to double stacks in the meantime.
No static to your hustle. However $25 THOUSAND!?! I guess ol boy bought a brand new front axle and all brand new parts to surround it? But if your dropping off an ifs and a week later picking up your sas yota. Roi you could have just bought a rig built and saved $10k. God speed. Thanks for the video.
It's a SAS with all new everything up there (deleted a drop bracket kit) and a rear shock relocate with a regear... You can go buy a shitbox and spend that much just chasing down issues if you don't fabricate things yourself.
I am solid axle swapping a Ford ranger. I originally wanted to do 2.0 air shocks but have had a bunch of people tell me it would be to heavy and ride funky with them. I feel like a 4 door tacoma would weigh more than an ext cab ranger. Any insight on air shocks over coils?
Toyota tax is a real fkin thing. My entire XJ build cost less than just the SAS on this tacoma. And id bet any amount of money my XJ will go all the same places this taco will
lol what do you suggest he get ? Name something u can get this capable and reliable for 25 grand. These guys definetly have a really high labor cost though and trail gear stuff isn’t cheap. You can get this work done cheaper and a lot cheaper doing urself
@@mtnyotas I’m not saying your rate is unfair. Only prob saying that it’s gonna cost a lot more to get all that work done at a fab shop using trail gear stuff. Respect tho!
@@mtnyotas not trying to dog on your guys' work though, it looks top notch and I know you have to pay to play but damn that pricetag makes it untouchable for a non rich boy! Lol
Brock is such a great guy!
Awesome rig but holy cow that a lot of money. Looks like you guys do nothing less then amazing work! Hope he enjoys it!!!

My tacoma is still on ifs and i want this build but that price hurt a bit ngl
Just get some ball joint spacers and a diff drop if you want to get more lift
Keep the taco and just get an older jeep. Best of both worlds

What size leaf springs is it running?
Not gona lie I want a sas but my front end with all new parts locked with motive 4.88 is taking a beating
Can i get the link to for fox shocks please
$20,000? At least that solves the money issue.
What about with dana 60s?
Definitely a different realm and we would suggest going to 1 tons always.
i wish i could do this. but its illegal to lift that high in my country plus its 20k$
Drop braket why not just diff drop it and ball joint spacers it better than that shit for sure 😊

12 hours to fab the shock relocation??? Jesus….
Cutting out all the old stuff on the axle and frame, fabricating new mounts and cross member, then installing all the new stuff... yes, 12 hours.
@@mtnyotas ouch, it took me a few hours on mine when I put 1 tons under it, and that was even putting new spring perches and bump stops….
Jesus christ why would anyone spend $20k on a 25 year old car for simply better rock crawling abilities. Spend the money on a MUCH newer car
Do you really think that people who spend significant money on a toy don’t have another vehicle? 🤔 Weird comment.
Because its better than spending 40k+ interest on something less capable.

@@natebath5522our labor rate is the average shop rate in Colorado… most fabricators and specialty shops charge 25% more than us too.

Way overpriced
Ok 👍
