Siqx20 Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Idk how many guys around here have done a sas swap In their 720's. But I'm looking into swapping in yoda axles in the future. The only thing I'm seeing as a issue here is Toyota axles have the differential on the passenger side. Which is fine since stock 720 t-cases goes right down the middle. What I'm conceded about it smashing the differential Into the oil pan when I'm stuffing tires on the trails. Anybody have some insight? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Yeah that's going to happen. If you go SAS just put a 2wd oil pan on. BTW: that's a 720 frame. Quote Link to comment
Siqx20 Posted October 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Oh cool! I was considering that as a solution. Thanks mike!! Quote Link to comment

DaveZilla Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Very cool... I'd love to convert a 620 to 4wd like that or put a 620 body on a 4x4 720 frame :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Passenger side diff is not an issue as far as I can tell. :D 1 Quote Link to comment
Siqx20 Posted October 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 The 720 4x4 pans are weird snapped and go way passenger. But you got tons of room Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 You should be able to swap in a 2wd pan once the IFS crap is out of the way. Quote Link to comment
Siqx20 Posted October 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 Yeah I think that's the plan. :) Quote Link to comment
OneFreakyMF Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 Yeah, that's what I did as well. Make sure you grab the 2wd's pick up tube as well.... Quote Link to comment
Meltor Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 How much does it cost to do a SAS? I am very interested in getting rid of my IFS but alas i have never done this and dont even know where to start Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Well you would need a suitable front axle. I used an early '80 Toyota. The rest was fabricating and welding it in. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Yep, cost is relative. Do you have the parts already? Can you fabricate the mounts and any other parts that need to be made? To give you an idea. I already had an axle and built my own mounts, but the locker and gears was about $1500. Quote Link to comment
godzirra Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 lift it so high you don't have to worry about the oil pan.. mine would be at least a good 4-6" at all times from the oil pan if it were driver-side drop (mine is passenger). Meltor, the only limitation on cost is the depth of your pockets. Quote Link to comment
