Hello everyone, I just signed up to share my project, and hopefully get some tips along the way.
My friend rolled his 96' legacy wagon a few weeks back, and since he only had liability on it he gave it to me. The roof is smashed and glass is broken, but the drive train is solid and it runs great. Its got a 5spd, and good clutch, 185k. My plans are to simply sawzall the hell out of the fenders to fit some 235/75 r15 bfg trail makers that i got for free. I also did a 2" strut lift. I'm a decent welder, and can generally fabricate half decent parts, i have access to a machine shop in school, so i should hopefully be able to do everything cheap. Besides cutting the fenders out to fit the tires, i also plan on making a nice brush guard, a good skid plate system, snorkel possibly, lincoln locker in the rear, and possibly re-gear for the bigger tires if possible.
Any pointers or ideas would be great, im sure i'll have quite a few questions once i start to get deeper into this project.
