damn...2 posts all the same eek yep that's my work...have more if you want to see...and it's not the yellow one..it's a black (and probably bare metal ) from tahoe. bed time peace!

sillyneck,
were you able to get that Xterra that rolled? I am curious to see if you got it, cause I want to see you make a SAS out of it.

If I remember correctly, Ian offered to feature it here if you were able to pull it off.

nope...got word last week that the former owner was over bid by a wrecker. That's lame....so I got a chevy to two my heep instead. I'm still down to do an SAS....and it WILL be perfect.

I've been very curious about this idea. Maybe i'm obsessed er somthin'. Anyway I was looking at a replacement lift for my 93XJ Cherokee and I am considering either the Skyjacker 6" or the Tomken kit. (I do have a point here eventually) The kits basically come with a complete subframe & mounting points for the link arms. The Skyjacker kit is compatable with a Dana 30 as well as the D44. Both of which are easy to come by. The kits , Skyjacker www.skyjacker.com in particular seem as though they would help make a swap for a coil solid axle swap into an Xterra easier. The guesswork is done. Youd need to add a trac-bar(easy),steering, and upper coil towers(also easy). Sure the framerails are probably a differant width(I know XJ doesnt have real framerails) but the mods would be fairly easy. I haven't checked to see if they will sell the kit in pieces or not. Am I out in left field here ,or is this worth researching further? Any opinions?

bump

not a bad idea but consider that just buying the parts from the kit you need...like joints, coils, and the upper towers then just fab the other stuff...right there you've just saved 1500 or better. I think those RR kits are @ 2500 or so and likely the subframe would be a waste, and all the axle braketry is JUNK! all you need for axle brackets are 8 tabs ($0.50 ea) and a fabbed bracket and 2 tabs for the panhard bar.

I'm just into the build it vs. buy it because then I know I did it right. ya know
