beachbumberry

i bet u said whoops...lol

anybody 4 wheel in one of these?

junkyard wars did several times... bugs dont float stock.. subarus do... foam in the fenders, bumpers, under carrage, and if i can, frame rails ought to make it float pretty well...if i can set up a prop from the diff, than that'd be great, but if i cant, than ill probably put a big trolling motor on the back that can be removed... possibly a small gas motor....

haha... dont worry.. thats first addition

i didnt think about that.... how much do u think that'd cost, and how likely wold i be to break.... what coul i use to seal it to... i figured a cv boot over some of the grease that i would have used between the hull and the motor and prop...

i figured i should be able to keep it above the windowline...

when i get my wagon, im thinking of setting it up for deep water, but with a twist... fill the front and rear fenders up with foam (like the stuff they used in monster garage) get the doors so they dont leak at all, and stick a BIG electric motor and prop (or jetski pump) on the back... than i can go ANYWHERE...lol

i heard froma friend that it would probably take alot of work to make a baja strong enough... on trucks, the host was in sand in one, and he turned and the springs snapped....

being a beachbum (im buying a subi because i am and need a lil 4x4) i swear to post pics when i buy one and have it on the beach...

forghet anglegrinder... the hammer is enough:lol:

i didnt like it at first, but it definatly grows on ya... pretty nifty

thats friggin awsome... i hope i can find an older subi b4 this summer... i found one in dallas (loyale)

i actually just found a loyal on craigslst in dallas for 450... i dont have that money right now, but its good to know there is stuff in my are (i.e. state)

id propbably pull some weight off of it, than get a lift (aa is the only one i could find for it) and jump it from there.... probalbly not real often, but enough to say i jump it...

would putting a transfer case from a better 4 wheel drive system be better (such as nissan or toyota)? we found one on craigslist in austin... they have a corrola and legacy (legacy needs alil work... oil leak, cv boot lil stuff.) for 1000... that way me and my sis can have a car for each of us...

are they real great 4x4s? ive found ALOT of them in craigslist (early ones) for CHEAP... justr wondering... mostly for beach and light trails... and some jumps everyonce in a while...

ok, so do subis not leak from the doors when you go through water?

we're not bad on rust, but to find truck (much less car) that had been optioned for 4 wheel drive is a bit hard to find... but im sure one will turn up... my dad works w/ the local auto auction.

ok, im 16 i have an 83 bmw 320i, but it is pretty much done w/ running for a while... i need a 4x4 for the beach and messing around at the local orv park...any suggestions? i need something under a thousand bucks, has 4 wheel drive, can make it on a VERY unforgiving beach, and has alot of space (so pretty much limited to wagon or long hatchback)
