SAS Kits for FJ?

I noticed All Pro has SAS (Solid Axle Swap) kits available for IFS Toyotas manufactured between 86-95. There are a few other kits out there as well.

Clearly this is a big undertaking and is not something that most could install without help from a professional. With the extensive amount of cutting, welding and dissasembly, it isn't a weekend project. But the off-road advantages can't be denied.

So, has anyone heard of a SAS kit for the FJ...or any plans on making one? My best guess would be All Pro at this point.

Re: SAS Kits for FJ?

All Pro did a SAS for the Ultimate Adventure FJ:
2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser Buildup - 2006 Ultimate Adventure – 4-Wheel & Off-Road Magazine

I don't know if they're offering one for sale to the public yet, though.

Its something that we have thought about, and its in the R&D stage right now, so it will be offered in the future. Jon's FJ will be the first one, and full production will occur shortly after. It will be very similar to our Tacoma SAS kit, and given the fabwork involved anyway, it is feasible to convert it and make it work on the FJ.

Re: SAS Kits for FJ?

I actually just noticed allpro's main page says:

"Look for other parts coming soon including heavy-duty upper links and skid plates, followed by an SAS kit!"

So I guess it's probably not that far off.

We are nowhere close to setting pricing for a kit yet. Like I said, its still in the R&D stage at this point.
