If your doing the work yourself it won't cost to much. Mostly just time. The 44's can be picked yp at a local junk yard for well under $400. Springsand shocks aren't too exspensive. Some tubing, joints and Brackets is all thats left.
Here are some links to some places that sell that stuff...
Poly Performance

Hey, any of you guys made progress on this? And SPAZZ, help me out here... I thought the widetrack 44's from the FSJ's never came with the QuadraTrac X-case. I have both stored in Wyoming - a '78 Cherokee with manual tranny and a '80(?) Wagoneer with QuadraTrac - different side diff drops as well as different widths between the two. The QuadraTrac being the narrow track. And have you seen if the rear 44 (widetrack) would line up with the stock VX transfer case? I would love to see an SAS on a VX like I saw on an Amigo this year at the 'Zoo!
The race is on - who's first?!?!?!?!?! Oh maybe somebody already did it but I haven't seen pics yet.

I would love to do one but I don't have the money to make any progress on it. But I can still dream about a VX on 36" tsl/sx and an LS1 under the hood, with a full cage, oh and an advanced adapters t-case...basically a VX body with a new truck under it.
Custom Independent4x 4.5" suspension lift, Custom Independent4x 3" body lift, 36x13.50R16 Irok radials, 16x8 American Racing Mojave teflons, Warn locking front hubs, Independent4x extended braided brake lines, Independent4x heavy duty tie rods, Calmini extended bump stops, Calmini extended brake line brackets, Rancho RS9000X shocks,1.5" wheel spacers, And trimmed cladding
yea my goal is to get my vx to 6inch lift, 35's (i think), full exo-cage and a full skid place front to rear.
This is what I am thinking about right now... not that I will ever do it but I can envision it! I priced out what it would take to SAS mine using dual Dana 44's with ARB's and 5.38 gears. $4700 or so! Selling some stock parts though would offest this price significantly. Since I already have the axles I would first try to reuse the Waggy springs and see how it lines up but I would rather go with an air bag suspension. People have said the VX looks like a shoe so I guess with airlockers and air suspension I would be driving a Nike Air Jordan VX! It would be a lot of work and money though and you would never ever get your money back on a project like this. It would be trick! I'm just talking out my arse!Originally Posted by pbkid
yea as am i...if i could afford it then i would be down to do it myself but thats just a little too pricey for a 20 year old =)...oh well i can do everything except for the extra 3 inches and the big tires until its affordable =)
