Dare I ask Alex, have you actually worked out what your end use will be for the SAS terrano ?
As I still think you're about to open up a a very big can of worms. Mainly because you don't really have a first hand idea/understanding of the job in hand. ( no disrespect) Consequently you'll be in the hands of others. Now if you're lucky and get a good experienced kinda guy then fingers crossed you'll get away lightly at around £2000. Now that's being conservative i think. 4 x 35" tyres will set you back 700/800 quid on top.
If you just want your T2 to look manly and be pretty much reliable without power mods but still work bloody well offroad . Then why not just buy a LOKKA and run some decent 33s
You'll actually have more clearance at the front than a live axle and the same at the back . Lack of flex doesn't matter so much then and you'll just need to spend on the Lokka and a bit of Ricks time.
OR just buy a bloody Trol

Just think it through eh
