Title: Re: Lee's Xterra SAS Post by: theking on January 25, 2011, 02:39:39 AM lol. got the links, tie rod and buckets done. pics on the 1st post
Title: Re: Lee's Xterra SAS Post by: gitarboyx on January 25, 2011, 03:34:01 PM this is awesome dude!
Title: Re: Lee's Xterra SAS Post by: KovemaN on January 25, 2011, 06:03:20 PM I love it so far. Beautiful work as usual. What's the deal with the upper link joints being perpendicular to each other?
Title: Re: Lee's Xterra SAS Post by: theking on January 25, 2011, 08:42:24 PM Thanks. The upper link is just easier to mount that way with two tabs coming off the frame. The J Joints have just enough misalignment to work that way.
Title: Re: Lee's Xterra SAS Post by: BlackX on January 25, 2011, 10:00:29 PM Looking really good. What's the ETA? Lee when do you go to Korea and for how long?

(http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i186/kennylauter909/Lees%20Xterra%20SAS/xterrasas004.jpg?t=1296539341) Title: Re: Lee's Xterra SAS Post by: zachbiz on January 31, 2011, 11:05:28 PM :O i have to see this is person. did you cut the front fender more?
Title: Re: Lee's Xterra SAS Post by: theking on January 31, 2011, 11:12:46 PM It's more impressive in person. 8)
I trimmed the fenders up a bit. It stuffs way up in there. ;D Title: Re: Lee's Xterra SAS Post by: zachbiz on January 31, 2011, 11:15:00 PM this makes me really really jealous. whats the running tally?
Title: Re: Lee's Xterra SAS Post by: theking on January 31, 2011, 11:25:16 PM Just be sure to give Lee a hard time. lol He has a really nice truck, there. He still needs front gears, hubs, and some new axle shafts would be wise. But so far I would say the total is in the 4K to 5K range in parts.
Title: Re: Lee's Xterra SAS Post by: BlackX on January 31, 2011, 11:39:41 PM Lee's new ride 8) : (http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i186/kennylauter909/Lees%20Xterra%20SAS/xterrasas004.jpg?t=1296539341) Incredible job man :cheers: Title: Re: Lee's Xterra SAS Post by: SteeevO on February 01, 2011, 02:14:39 AM Outstanding :cheers:

I think i owe kenny a beer. every day,... for the rest of my life. its awesome. i wouldnt say 5k... ill tally it all up and see. i flexed it out with the forklift at work today. witht he leafs in the rear you cant fully flex the front. i still have room.
kenny- dude, flexed as far as it will allow (approx) im still like,....a solid 3 inches from the bump stops. haha but everything works nice as far as clearing all the moving parts in both directions. your the man. Title: Re: Lee's Xterra SAS Post by: gitarboyx on February 01, 2011, 02:34:48 AM Outstanding :cheers: i knew you were gonna say that. hahaTitle: Re: Lee's Xterra SAS Post by: gitarboyx on February 01, 2011, 03:34:28 AM (http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a12/leepattison/IMG_4588.jpg)
