Body Damage is Cool
If you look up threads for KIAFREEKROB here on the wire he has Toyota axles on his, Dave Scott has Scout D44s on his. You could get some good ideas on Them. Keep us posted and send lots of pics. When the times is right I want to do a SAS also, I have Jeep Wagoneer/Cherekee D44s that I might use. The only problem is the rear has a right side offset dif like the front.
