i did an sas with a 03 rubicon dana 44 retaining the 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern. it has a Detroit Locker, 4.88 gears, Teraflex high steer knuckle, Warn manual hub conversion kit, Alloy USA tube seals, Alloy USA chromoly shafts, Sway-A-Way 10" coilovers and a custom driveshaft built by Inland Empire Driveline in Ontario, Ca. i used a 86 Forerunner steering box. i built the y-links using Ballistic joints and bushings, built the tierod, draglink and trackbar.

one of the interior shots is of the CB radio sheft i made that are in the place of the visors.

i had to modify the seat sliders to make the Beard seats work.

as for the rear bumper, i built it a couple years ago but thought id post a pic.

amazing work!!

thanks gents. me and a friend did the SAS in 3 working days over a 4 day weekend. thats why i never got any pics of the process.

reworking the sliders for the seats took a whole day to finish.

that is a nice ass truck. i love the rear bumper

c_note · 05-26-2009, 08:20 PM

too bad im selling the bumper. its just enough money to buy bender, notcher and the right amount of tubing to make a new one.

Fine work!

AlwysBusted96 · 05-26-2009, 11:22 PM

Damn it. Somebody beat me to it with a SAS with a Rubicon axle. Sick work man. Got to convince the wife that mine needs a transplant asap.

c_note · 05-26-2009, 11:24 PM

thanks. but u know some redneck is gonna bash on it saying it wont hold up just because its not a dana 60 or some other type of overkill. to me, a good offroader can make it through a trail without making any body damage or break any parts. thats the true test and thats the way i was brought up as an offroader.

so if you can make a dana 30 hold up, ur the man.
