Well I'ma gunna do what I did every other time. CUT first, figure the rest out after. It will work, I don't have any other options....

My toyota land cruiser has arrived. Let the SAS Begin..
Well after I strip it off the truck, replace the drum brakes for disk, replace the seals and change the gearing. But like I say, it's 80% done with 80% to go.

Is the SAS in place now? Do you have an estimated time of completion? I assume we won't be seeing you at the November meet or is there a chance you'll be mobile by then? 4 runners are allowed too...as long as you don't park too close to the Deli's (maybe go and overshadow the Pajero's) jk

X2...just park the 4runner out of site or throw a car cover over it

Current state of the SAS is as pictured. I will be holding of until I get me nwe engine and do the engine swap and SAS at the same time..

I am among the many in the eagerly anticipating audience for the
next phase. PLEASE take lots if pics.
Ridiculously phenomenal work so far.

Right On!

There seems to be a complete lack of a vehicle in that image.

What's the timeframe on an engine? Also, what's an "nwe" engine?

Nice looking truck, 'though.

For those of you that don`t know a NWE engine is one that is new to me, but not brand new!!!!!! Just got me aline od a 350 with tranny so with any luck I can get it all here, get er cleaned up and installed.

Hope to put stretch on the road fo rhe Deli meet at IKEA (Weather depending)

Gas 350 - V8??? That will get the strech moving....

Make sure you get a newer Vortex or something if you are going this way....

yum. how's the axle/cv condition on the donor axles?

Nope going with a simple carb. Stretch won`t need all the power of the fancy electronics, and there is so much less that can break when you`re out of `town`

The axles look in great shape, but will tear them down and have a good look.

I would go with a simple throttle body like a early Vortex...

You can keep a simple carb in the spares if you have issues. Injected motors run so great and you will need electronics unless going with POINTS

are you going to bolt all this under the delica Unibody? I would consider building a chassis with the axles, motor, etc mounted and lower the body on...adds a few hundred pounds but makes sense to me...

Toyota axles can handle mild v8...but you should up the u joints!!!

What transfer-case/transmission you going with?
