ok, so i plan on building a wheeler .everyone says get a jeep!and say a yota.now i know that i can get a 1980-85 yota w/solid axle and go from there.but i want to get a newer yota with ifs.i want to cut it out and sas it(for a fun hobby project!)it might seem dumb considering i could already buy a vehicle w/solid axle but i want to do it my self.i was thinking on buying a 96+ yota taco e x-cab,3.4v6 and a manual, and then sas it.37 toyo's or whatever and nice flex is great. but w/my old 4runner it wasnt the same as the solid axle . so i want to sas it. any suggestions on how to do it or where to buy the stuff at to do it?should i swap both front and rear axle's? D60's?  D444's? 5.29 detroits front and rear?lockers? any ideas of what i should do?

Keep looking. Look at "Clampy" for example. Most Yota's are the same, the ideas don't need to be 4-Runner specific.
