see now, why do you have to be a little dick about it?

 

[clvanhorn]

because there are tons of examples with varying degrees of difficulty that you can read about by typing sas into the search bar, rather than someone else doing all the work

like lets say, i go to the junk yard and buy the SFA out of a jeep, say a dana 30, what would be involved with putting it in my truck

Calm down son!!!! By looking at your info to the left you have been here sometime now. So you know how many of these questions are asked every day, week or month. There is a search button at the top to where you can search the forums to find the answer that you need. If you look hard enough you will see Scooters truck, Danger Ranger and mine to name a few. They are out there you just have to look.

i only got mad because mr i wish i had a real bronco but had to settle for a bronco 2, could have been polite and just said go look up SAS in the search bar, and i would have done so, the derogatory comment was not necessary... sorry you have a stick up your ass because you dont have a real bronco scooter

I am currently looking for a Bronco 2 for my off road rig does that put me in the same ring as Scooter? If it does then so be it. I have a family who like to wheel with me and give me room to haul them and take them along. I would much rather have a smaller rig that I can build more capable than a full size rig that won't fit down a trail or even let onto the trail cause it is too wide. Now I see by your profile that you are a younger fella (I have a car older than you) don't start the name calling as that will get you no where here. NOBODY WILL WANT TO HELP YOU! I understand your question as I had some myself when I did mine. That little icon that says search at the top of the page is your friend here don't piss that button off too by getting banned. Your best bet is to start a build thread and your answers will magically be answered. PM me and I'll tell you where to start.

Very easy, open the tailgate, find a helper if you are a wimp and set it in the back. Close the tailgate and strap it down to keep it from falling out.

This may be helpful for after you get home:

Lots of stuff in the tech library for all kinds of projects.

^^^What he said...use the search function. I have done it on my early Rangers and and Suzuki Sammy and it is easy if you know what you are doing. If not you will have to spend the money at a shop to do it for you.
