Hey guys! Just wanted to throw this out there that a SAS is in the works for my truck. I'm currently saving up the money for it and doing a sh!t ton of research to the point that my mind is numb. If all goes well it will be happening sometime in the new year(right after Christmas). The plan is to go SOA in the rear, D44 front with 14" coilovers and radius arms. I'm still doing research but that is what I'm hoping for. This will be done with help from Tyler (Xterra_Mayo) and Billy (the ZJ gentleman). The 3 of us should be able to get it done quickly and correctly. Just wanted to inform you all of what's currently going on the world on my X haha

That's what I'm hoping for haha. Although the only downside I can see right now is it's my DD. But I still have the bike so I'll mainly drive the truck on rainy days, wheeling, and when it gets cold. I'm very excited. I'll keep you guys up dated on parts and ideas as it gets closer to the date. Maybe even do (somewhat) of a write up

Very cool, Jesse. I'm looking forward to seeing the progress.

Good luck. I did a 3 link and it took about two years of research and gathering parts. The actual work took about 3 months worth of weekends. If you're doing something custom, be prepared for the unexpected cause sometimes things don't go as planned.

Where and when are you doing the mods? If you need a hand lemme know? I'm not a SAS expert but I'm good at standing around and drinking beer or firing up a grill...

Inliner: Thanks for the advice. Yes, it will be custom, the details still need to be worked out though. Billy and Tyler are very good fabricators, so there is no doubt in my mind that we can make it happen.
c3PO: I'm not sure where yet, and it should be sometime in the new year. Haha We are all fantastic at that, but would love to have an extra hand. I'll post up when it starts to come full circle
