Skylar, go make your own thread about the head gasket please.It muddles things up to have other subjects going on in a trail run thread.Thanks;) Jeffy , I hope to make the trail run,but I am unsure at this time. See , when you say it like that you don't break hearts, HEARTS, jeff! :-p cheers, ***************es.....

Welp,your the only one who saw me pounding on her

Actually they had them on the market about 14 yrs ago, and had no Domestic market for them. This is pretty cool, and at a pretty good price. cheers

Stella:)

wouldn't be possible without you and your garage:-pcheers

Oh yeah, Thanks to Polly the Pinz for ing dragging me out.Like it was nothin.

That was a fun ride.:DOne day, Stella wilst ascend that thar hill. The original plan with this block was to box in the backside and tie it in like Sjr did before.However it got overlooked in the rush of how many fuxing things can I do at once. LOL I only have carnage pics... I really do not hink the starter broke from hydrolock, because she turnedd over several times before it broke.The high compression of the motor is what I think caused it. defenitely poppedd her cherry Welp, thats Tahuya '12.1.. I also tore a boot, have to strip the carpet, and also change out seats(just cause I got new ones.thanks Spencer!nice yota by the way;)) Then I think I can say she is back to normal. whheeewww...The motor seems to have lived.Changed the oil twice to make sure no milkshake.Changed diff oil.Changing ATF and gear oil thias week just to make sure.I think everyhting is up to snuff again. cheers, had damn fun, even if some that were supposed to be there didna make it...not naming any names or anything Oneeye:-p.. So, Jess, How hard would you say I pounded on her? So, Walker next month? cheers

welp, no welding yesterday.I bought some thicker tube last night at Olympia Supply, and then drilled them at a friends shop.To small of a hole.Changed plans with the bolt setup I had, and reamed the holes out on the blocks. Then it was to dark for me to work on it.I have no lights etc over here.I am about to go hit it outside in the gravel , so I will bring back pics off the broken bits at lunchtime. Jess, we will have to see how many lift blocks I can break next time.:grin:I swear we need a race series!Im not realy surprised they broke,I was pounding on her.Ifn your gonna drive , you might as well drive hard.That is what we need video of.I think I want a go pro for my Bday...... DAMNIT NOAH:-pyoura good friend.Tell the ladies it was good to see/meet them.Post some videos and pics ya schmuck:clap: cheers

lesson 1.....Dont do this:-p:lol: I am sure Jess wil post up soon. It looks Im gettin a snorkel;)I just think they look weird. I hope you guys had fun, hope it was educational, and most of all.down right filthy. cheers

Totally, I mean how do you write a ticket for 3 wheelin pimpstyle?

by by carpet....I need a snorkel:banghead: It was a fun day, made some new friends and ************ed up my car.I would say , success:) She did really really good in the go fast sections.I am sure some bolts are loose, I know I need a starter, and most of all, my feet are not cold anymore.bonus! I like how she handles, I had to back up on a couple of things, but kicked rump roast on some OTher things.like the rocks .... fun trip

Plain and simple.thats what this is meant to be.You are over complicating it.If you want to use metal then start a thread about metal.This was not really meant to be a discussion thread about all the ways to do a lift. I mean how many times do I need to state that..... I am trying to help people get a grasp, now that you have one, go.Do whatcha want with it. People wish to build things in different ways,It was never really meant for anyhting above 1" anyways.I did mine at 2" because that is where I wanted to go.I never really intended on using them, then decided I would try it, then decided I didna have the time. Cost comparison is still cheaper for plastics if you have time and tools.Well below the hundo or so for premade stuffs.Having the tools to pull of these blocks is alot cheaper than having the tools to fabricate metal.Alot more cost associated with the metal fab tools by far. I simply believe people should try there damndest to build their own ************, this is not the answer for all, only some. You keep coming back with other ideas that are preposterous.Do it however you want, but remember you were the one scrambling around to try an figure out how to do a lift, asking for specifics etc... Take it or leave it,I could care less.But DO NOT confuse the fact that I have been trying to help this entire time.Andyes, I like PBR.Is there a problem with that?I also brew beer in several different fashions, as well as liquor. I don't drink in the morning unless it is warranted:drunk:especially 6:30 in the morning..... Piss off, and have a good day:lol:

We should all meet at the Westbay Napa(in Belfair,Wa.right up from Tahuya) at 9AM the 4th of Feb.. cheers, see ya Saturday! Who all has CB's? cheers

You are making it more complicated than you need to.Just buy the right plastic. There is no need to try an mold anything.You need a square block about Xx6"x6"for each corner. DO you read?I said that I ended up using my METAL blocks.I simply made this how to , to show how easy it IS to make some smaller strut blocks out of plastics.There are other writeups out there that explain it a little better.But I was trying to show what could be done with some basic tools.

You could read the how to lift stuff threads.This has been opinionized a lot... TRy the threads at the top of this offroad forum;) cheers

We're gettin close.Who is still in? I have to find a skidplate, do some lights, and then , and then,oh yeah the toolbox in the back finally. We'll see how much of it I get done. Its pretty mellow out there so I hope to do some "GO FAST" stuffs. Cheers

That makes me want to build a stage car.Good job! I was gonna ask what happened to the rolled beaut' , but then U 'splained:( Did they have to replace the cage due to rules?Or did I just miss that? Cheers.

Here is another HOW TO cheers

This motor runs awesome.I love it!cheers

Yes, Yes it does. Keep goin.I have sold/traded off cars that I thought I didna WANT...Horrible horrible mistakes. Besides, Stella does not want kids:-p cheers

Ok , so the "new" new trans is working out. I was leaving work on Tuesday and realized that the extremely CHU_UNK_EEE axle on my side front was not going to make it home.Went back to the shop and swapped it out for my spare and was on my way. Sweet, no wobble., sweet, no codes!nice... Ok so we have gotten about 14ish" of snow in Olympia this last day or so, and I went out today(no workie,pussies:)) and snow mobbed the livin hell out of her.It was pretty awesome. I fully enjoyed myself.ifi do not work tomorrow I will surely go to capitol forest. After driving around for most of the day, with lunch in between, I think that I defenitely found some boundaries.As well as figuring out that the car has serious torque, and power.It was hard for me to "keep" control, as it just wanted to break loose instantly. Granted, it has an LSD rear. And ok, the tires are not siped. But damn, when I was flippin broadies ,i was hittin 6500rpm and had everything to go....It was nuts. I think I might go to a poker run up at Elbe hills this weekend.I obviously won't be doing the trails at the end.But I might try to catch a ride with someone that does. I had a stock OBS park next to me , well, one spot over.and when I looked at the difference, I think I am looking at a good 6 inches over stock.Next time I see one, I will get a comparison pic cheers

I have seen him creep around abit, but hasna been "on" the board for a while. Still has the car I think. Cool car for sure. cheers

Well, I got tired of chasing codes down. Started lookin at everything, and it seems that the speedo gear in the current transmission is toast.Not being able to do much with the company I bought it from on the weekend,I started wondering how fun it was going to drive itt home in limp mode, again. Welp I guess it worked out because I found a trans on craigs list and quickly swooped it up.After looking at it and smelling fluids, and turning things, we were on our way. Started installing it a couple hours later in Mugs garage.The dude is a rockstar.Kick rump roast plain and simple. We got the old trans out and "new" one in 5 hours....

If I had a proper invite I would have made it out.:/ And be a snob all you want Tahuya is a place for me to go fast and test the suspension. Then I'll hit Walker to see how it does in the mud. Then Evans in the Spring. Etc. I will do them all.;)because I live over here now. Then I'll start working on finishing the buggy and do some 'real' Wheeling;)

I KNOW the leak is from the taillight.I found it 6 months ago, and thought I had fixed it.It is beyond "fixing",I need to tear it out.I used gasket maker.I need to get some urethane like they use from the factory. I hardly ever come here asking for little things like that, because I investigate before I post usually.Although I appreciate the sentiment,Mostly, I am not ever looking for input on my issues.Just on the radness:drunk: On to a better note, It still drives.:lol:And runs like a raped ape. Get the transmission issue fingered out, and I should be static for a while. cheers
