Does anyone build things other than their Subarus?

[The Internet]

Here is my project that I recently put up for sale but will probably (inevitably) end up finishing.

disassembly right now. Once i can get some funds, a wrecked STi will be purchased. Then I am going to swap motor, tranny, and full drivetrain into it. So this project wont be quick, but will be awesome when done. Going to try and do as much work myself as possible too, with help from people on here.

I am building it for rocks. Not a fan of mud. I have a HUGE list of things to do to finish the truck. I am planning on linking the front and rear.

:drool: I have always wanted to drop an STI motor in the Jeep. The 350 was wayyyy more simple.

Yea, the cool thing about the dakota and the Sti, they have the same track width. the wheelbase is 30 inches longer, but nothing a custom driveshaft cant fix. and then the need for new motor and tranny mounts, but that is the same with most engine swaps.

rockwell axles?

rockwell axles?

Yep. Shortened to run equal lenth short shafts,flipped hubs, Detroit lockers and 6.72 gears

[im_so_blue]

dude that is a sick jeep

what size tires and i am assuming front to back coils and lockers.

You should pop in vermont sometime this year for the "Vermonster 4x4" event they do rock crawling at that along with mud bogs and such.
That thing would be nasty

I was always hanging around the Toyota guys so I spent most of my time with the Northeast Toyota Crawlers. I haven't been out lately. I seem to be more into Mt Biking now.

Nice rig btw.

someone probably posted a link to it on craigslist or something. I just got mine finished late last year so we have not really been out much, that should change this year we will be out a lot.

im_so_blue if you got a rig or if you like wheeling you should join up at ExploringNH.com good group of people who are trying to put out a good image for responsible offroaders.

[im_so_blue]

responsiable i am not right now

i have a XJ that no one wants so i am gonna say f it this summer... shes gonna see all the mud she can handle and wheeling till she finally croaks and there she'll sit or just get thrown in a salvage yard.. one or the other.

I just can't stand sending a perfect running vehical to a salvage yard so i am just gonna beat it some more till don't run no more

what year? it may have some good parts on it you can sell. ENH can be kinda little *****es about mud, they think it is the devil. they can argue about it for days. I have no problem with mud... other then the fact that it breaks stuff.

[subaru_crazy]

project 1 is my 95 yamaha g14 golf cart 6 inch lift + 22'' tires= 10 inches total of lift performanced packed tops out at 36 mph:D
project 2 is my 95 geo tracker 4x4 tintop. its going to get lifted 2inch suspension and 2inch body. 29-8.50-15 superswamper tsl's and custom bumpers.

They are attached through the plastic bumper to the super strong chassis underneath.:hide:

Hey, for $200, I'm not gonna complain. Those may be coming off anyways, unless my dad actually wants to tow it behind his camper to enjoy 40+ mpg's before I start modding it...

My 2000 Jeep Cherokee XJ started out like this. (30 inch pro comps, bashed up grille and c channel front bumper.... otherwise pretty plain

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a106/ryebread929/SL730539-1.jpg

I added a ton of things to it from there. went to 6 inchs of lift got rid of the blocks and went to lift springs, added front and rear bumpers, rock rails, 34 inch swampers, 8k winch, fog lights, and a ton of little maintanence items. had 99k on her when i sold it about 2 months ago. had a blast with it. here are the after pics right before it sold

thats everything i wanted to do with mine when i got mine. But never happened :unamused:

[ryebread929]

i liked my old 97 stocker cherokee XJ. it was more challenging. all the trails we ran after i built my 2000 it was just boring haha. walked over it all

[im_so_blue]

oh trust me i know.

I love getting people going "you took that ..... where?!?!?! and made it out?!?!?!"

Took it on a trail on a mountain where you had tree's litterally a few inches on either side. I had to fold the mirrors in so they wouldn't get hit it was that close. Made it to the top and had some dirt bikers that were on the trail too going "dude i would have never thought that could make it up here"

[etaks99rs]

I would die to hit those :spin: :spin: :subygirl:

Yeah they were really fun!

MUD is definitely the best color code on jeeps:lol:

I don't know what it is. It seems like a natural progression between Jeeps and Subarus.

I have noticed that a lot of car clicks also have similar 2nd car interests. Mustangs seam to be a big thing among other Jeep owners (I don't get it I hate mustangs) but I love my Jeeps (real jeeps not compasses and patriots and new grands) and Subarus.

[98Wagoon]

hm.. so lets see.. since we're talking about jeeps I might as well just chime in with my two former loves.. I miss them quite a bit...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v449/mrangerroy/front.jpg

my 88 XJ. 5" lift. 32x11.5x15s. k&n intake. no cat to a flowmaster40. sounded like a v8. I loved it. haha. tomken bumpers front and back. some other little things I forget. it was just starting to get tired and I didnt want to fix it.. wish I did..

so I bought this...

I miss that TJ more than I thought i would. 2000 Sahara. k&n panel filter. optima. and swaybar disconnects. all it needed.


Ive got a current side-project going right now. Im hoping to have that done by may or so. I'll update another post later for that one. but if yr curious, and want to google it, its a 1970 CJ750 M1super.

[im_so_blue]

i have a feeling us guys should go wheeling sometime
anyone down for some wheeling?

i still have a 4x4 truck i am willing to go through the woods with.

or if someone wants to come get my jeep and tow it to said location we can do that :lol:

[98Wagoon]

ahhhh dont tease me.. I should never have gotten rid of the XJ.. :(

[im_so_blue]

ahhhh dont tease me.. I should never have gotten rid of the XJ.. :(

if you tow it. I'll let you use it on a trail when ever we were to go wheeling :lol:

for the 350? I have no idea what its got going on for tires. pretty sure the wheels are bigger than 15, though. Id have to look. it falls into the whole... "not my car, not my problem" type thing.. :lol:
