I'm on the edge of my seat to see how certain parts are addressed. I can't see any SFA "kit" as being 100% bolt-on since there are variables in each KJ. For certain there would have to be a lot of cutting and grinding and I hope welding on of various components such as the steering box mount assy, rear trac-bar mount, front trac bar mt, control arm mounting points and any parts that need to be added to the axles. Of course you can still have a kit that needs all that work done by a competent shop and that is what I am expecting will have to be done.

Just thinking of all the parts that went into mine all i can see is $$$$ signs.

JJsKJ,
How long did AllJ's have your KJ for the install?

As far as the axle mounts,yes the correct mounts will need to be welded to the axles(kinda self explainitory on that one :wink:

),but as far as everything else(bellypan,front upper spring perches,cradle,steering box mount) will be bolt on to the KJ itself.And the above average do-it-yourselfer can install the kit,minus the work that needs to be done to the axles(gears,lockers,and brackets) saving $5000-$6000 in labor alone.It's going to be kinda idiot proof,that's alot of the delay right now,with how/where the stuff get's mounted.

And no it's not going to be cheap,alot cheaper then you think though.

now everyone has to ask them selves "Am I an above average-do-it yourselfer" or does it take me two days just to do a run of the mill lift! :lol:

Sounds like SOMEONE :wink:

has put a lot of thought and time into this already.

Thanks to them a great SFA may soon be ready for all of us.

Midwest Distribution/installation rights, is it available ?????? :lol:

JJsTJ · **Posted:** Thu Jun 26, 2008 4:32 pm

Hell, I just might have to build me a 2nd one then......... :shock:

So what all is goibng to come with the SFA kit? What else would an above average do it yourselfer have to go out and get to finish the kj off?

Axles,t-case,driveshafts due to the billion different axles you could use,how much wheel base you want to add and total lift/wheel size.We will see about the steering components,tie-rods and drag links will vary depending on axles used,high steer or not and such(such things are easy to get also).There are many ways to go but the major parts of the swap will be in the kit,and this kit will be based off of using full width axles(the HP44 and Ford 9") but can be adapted to just about any axle(though not using full width axles requires the use of coilover's).

I am sure there will be a complete list of what to buy/ what works /what doesn't / etc that will come with the kit.

I was just trying to be funny as I went through the day of everyone buying kits and building dune buggys on VWs, so many bought and started them only to sell off the parts three years later cause they didn't know as much as they thought they did.

Will the kit allow for use of leaf springs!? :twisted:

No,that would cost way more to do on a KJ then coils.

RespectMyLibertay · **Posted:** Thu Jun 26, 2008 7:10 pm

How come? Please elaborate.

InCommando · **Posted:** Thu Jun 26, 2008 7:55 pm

I'm guessing because the coils are already in place?

Because you would be the only one and it would be custom with a lot of new time and research, and you never go wheeling with us anymore so we haven't felt the love. :twisted:

Honestly, it would be a lot of work in engineering for something no one really would be interested in.
