yeah, i think he thought i said IM AN IDIOT!

Talk with Erich or Toyman over on Wheelingarizona. They have both done a SAS.   I helped a little (very little ) with Ryan's (Toyman) SAS. Oh yeah, Bertha has too.  He might be able to do the whole thing. Not sure what he would charge . But I'd bet it ain't no where near 5300!!

yeah i called strict9 and i was hoping to find a little cheaper than what he quoted me, and without having to shell out for an entire kit you know.

Hell, I forgot about him.   Trogdor has done some cool stuff too.


Do you have a front axle yet?

[bluerunner [OP]]

i think i called him and he refered me to strict9 and said that he was busy with 2 projects of his own, but he was really cool about it!

You supply the parts and I'll do it for $1500.  You gotta drive it to Albuquerque tho...

I've done 3, and they're not too bad.  It all depends on what parts you're using.  I prefer to install "kits" where everything is designed to work together, but custom jobs work too.  You oughta be able to find someone in Az to do it for cheap.  Check with the local 4x4 clubs and get involved and make some friends.  Thats the quickest way to find someone with the tools and the time to help you out.  Besides, then you'll have people to wheel with when your rig is built.
