Thanks to everyone on the USMB that provided help/assistance with this project. it's not quite complete, but it's on the road. Front axle replacement is next; then I'll look into the other minor issues (minor drivers side floorboard leaks, dead AM/FM radio, etc)

 

Well, enough bs, here are a few pics (iphone pics, so they're pretty poor..)

 

I used a "Slideshow" 4" lift kit, and those are VW wheels with SJR's VW adapter plates.. 215 75 R15 BFG's fit with just a tad of BFH work on the

inside lip of the front wheel wells...

 

Cheers!!

 

 

 

and another...

 

here's what I started with... bone stock, original paperwork from sale on Aug 5, 1981 in Englewood, CO. ok, the rack wasn't stock but you know whatta mean..

 

very nice. We should have a easy to medium difficulty offroad day somewhere in the middle between Iowa and Arkansas, I would be willing to do a drive in my BRAT (i have the same lift kit),

Geez I love the look of a lifted wagon. They are so pimp.

looking good bro!

 

I love the tires and rims. look very sharp

looks really good! i like the stocky feel to it!
