So are you putting the Hilux IFS into a Vit? ( http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=318480 )

As opposed to the narrow track with rigid front? (ie: SASing it)
or a WT rear with NT front with a so called hub spacer WT conversion? (Still SASing it)

what are you going to do for gearing?

ps- buy a hilux, it'll be quicker, easier and worth more in the end

do you know that from experience antt
Id forgotten about your build.

you realise you'll have to drive around in low range everywhere if you want 35-37 inch tires on it with just reduction gears

not going to be a daily

Preecy, it runs Calmini reduction gears on 35"s, but as Antt has pointed out, its only really good for low range, but having said that it would be the same with a HiLux anyway wouldn't it.

preeecy why not spell out exactly what your plans are, what you want to achieve etc so people can offer useful info rather than just adding little bits of info to the breadcrumbs of info you are supplying.

This thread could have been a very useful thread on SASing a Vitara and building it XX specs but instead it's just little bits and pieces of info.

As always the more info you supply at the start the better the info you receive. Of course now all the sooky la las will come out and have ago at me about a whole range of rubbish

You said it won't be a daily, but you'll be driving it for an hour on the road to go 4wdriving, which will suck with only reduction gears.

I had dual transfers in mine with a vitara and sierra case, so had high range reduction, and it was pretty average to drive in high range, so yours would be even worse.

I'm not putting a downer on your idea, but if you're going to do the SAS, you may as well do it right. I'd be PM'ing 'joeblow' on here and asking about the dual transfers he does using a vitara and sierra case, they look like a good thing.

PS- you'll spend 6 grand pretty quickly doing this swap, i'd budget up to around 10
