Nissan Off Road & 4x4 Forum

Im doing a sas to my 2006 frontier, just looking for some guidance on steering, what box will work the best? will i need a new master cylinder? thanks for the help

is your truck IFS or straight axle?

& Welcome to the board! :cheers:

Im putting a Dana 60 in the front

I think you'll want to run a 1-1/8 or 1-3/16 bore MC

we need a SAS FAQ page.

Aaron, what box are you running on your recent project?

I know you can run a 1st gen xterra/ frontier box but with SASing a second gen, do you NEED a front facing pitman arm box or is there enough room for a rear facing box?

Basso0321, what size tires are you planning on running?

i plan on running a 1st gen steering box , i didn't see any issues running one
i know Creek is running a hardbody box

as far as mc, with the dual piston brakes im running front and rear on the 60's i had to step up to a 1-5/16 bore mc

Well here goes nothing....

Ive been putting parts together for a while now so its time to start. I purchased a 4wd transmission and got an adapter and transfer case from advanced adapters. They didn't make an adapter for the atlas 4 so i got the 2, also i got a short shifter from prg. I picked up a Dana 60 and a 14 bolt and had Andrew at letzroll chop them and put in 5.38's with grizzly lockers. I also got from him solid knuckles and artec high steering arms and yukon hubs. I plan on doing 3 link in the front and 4 in the rear so i picked up a bunch of rod end from ruffstuff. Still have to figure out what im going to do for the steering box so if anyone has any ideas let me know. So thats what i have so far, let me know what you think.

Im going to run 39's on raceline beadlocks

you in Az then since you had Andrew do some work on the axles?

Im in oceanside ca, I went out there two weeks ago to pick them up

nice , looks like you have a really good start

ill be running a 2002 4wd  nissan box on my 07 when i get the 60 in up front , pretty easy to drill and tap for hydro

Thanks for the help bro

yep no problem ,  this goin to be a trail rig only or you gonna drive it to the trail and back?

I want to be able to drive it there and back.

what the plan for speedometer? not sure what the testing requirements are in cali but your goin to have a full dash of lights with all the abs sensors out and brake light will be on if you go to a new MC and dont pipe in the pressure sensor
im not sure if the pressure sensor for the mc will affect anything being removed other than the light coming on

Thats one of the things i was wondering. I guess i coud unplug the lights in the dash.

I was gone for part of this convo but on a hardbody / Pathfinder box I tapped mine like the photo below.
I haven't run it yet but I'm happy with the placement. I'll be doing a full write-up on my hydro assist setup.
I originally tapped the holes but I ended up going with tig welding the fitting on the box instead because I didn'y like how far the pipe threaded fitting stick out from the box.
