March 19, 201412 yr Author Yeah. I am building it to drive to the extreme. I have been doing extreme sports my whole life. There is one thing I learned. Wear the proper gear for the job, and you are able to do it again.
March 26, 201412 yr Author My GOODNESS! The man has BRAINS!!! AND- HE WANTS TO KEEP THEM IN HIS HEAD!!! (wait until I tell my friends down in Alabama!) "Hey Bubba!" (actually, Brian, but we'll call him "bubba" for this little foray into literative lunacy) "I know this guy what is buldin hemself a right gnarly offroader an guess whut? Hesa goin ta wear a HELMUT for to keep hims BRAINS all up in HES HEAD!" "toss me a beer an hold onta this here sparkplugwire wouldjanow? Much obliged there, Now dontcha get all wiggly while I crank this thing for a minute" Right wise of you there... 903.12.0I wasn't 100% certain before, but you Sir, Have my vote.* Carry on! Number 1. I hate votes. Letter B. Piss off with your literate spin on a vernacular that could use help. Answer III. I Actuate the attenuation of my existence through copulation of metal and energy. Number 4. Anyone that says "carry on" to me better have been to my senior in rank at any given amount of time. Viewing your speech patterns through key I would guess that is not the case. I would guess aspiring writer. Which here is of no matter to me. My best friends are cunning linguists. Keep your iterations to your self. Thanks you very much. Oh yeah, You have obviously never spent any time down south . So maybe, just in case, I would watch who your talking to. And be careful about throwing around insults and such. That has to be bordering on an Oxymoron at that point. Cheers Edited March 26, 201412 yr by monstaru

March 26, 201412 yr Author Wow man, people take way to much serious these days. I was just rambling on, it was supposed to be funny. Anyways, I miss ice t and cornbread. And Andouille sausage. No offense taken, I just like to talk spoob. But usually I keep my threads tidy'd up with cup of shut the codswallop up. Thanks for the compliments on the rig. Much appreciated. And this being a public forum, you are more than welcome to post anywhere. Don't let my flappers keep ya out! cheers
March 27, 201412 yr sweeeeet! I am rooting for you! Haha check Edited March 28, 201412 yr by taylorwilliamson
March 27, 201412 yr gotcha... Thanks Mon. I was going to follow anyway just because I love your level of fabrication. (Just quietly, which isn't a bad idea anyway really) Fantastic stuff! (note to self; some humor doesn't always translate well in print, must watch myself more closely) Please...continue your awesome creation Monstaru! why-OH GOD WHY did you have to mention Andouille sausage! that and Boudan! and Conecuh! aauugghhh! (hurtin for it now!) actually bought some at a store here, at least it said it was cajun sausage...it weren't. Much Respects (from a displaced, and unrepentant Southerner) Rebelliously, TImothy By the way, the building where the first confederate "Stars and Bars" was ever thought of and created (in downtown Mobile, Alabama) is now a bar, and I sat my happy but there and had me a drink (sweet tea cause I don't cotton none to al-key-haul much). Funny really seeing as I'm half Japanese. (savor the irony).
April 7, 201411 yr Author Mounted an LC engineering short throw kit to keep my knuckles uncut. I guess I could have made one. But this one looks so cool.Sorry to disappoint .LOL I also test fitted the Twin Sticks I DID make again.Work well, and shift just fine. top Then had to finally make some kind of progress on the steering .So I coped a 90 I had lying around and put it in. It was kinda fun because of the compound angles. I will barely be able to pull the engine forward, and still be able to fit a steering box .lol Just so you know I am still working on it. It is fun to build. Cheers
April 8, 201411 yr You have many Fans here in Honduras: I showed this page to some friends who are Local Mechanics, one of them is founder of one of the many Local 4X4 clubs, and they Bookmarked it, they are not members of the USMB, but they're quietly following your progress, so am I. I thought it was worth to mention here... Amazing build! We almost can't wait to see this Beast crawling on the Mountains! Kind Regards.

Tell your friends they are all probably ahead of me in knowledge! however I seek it at every turn and wish to gain more in this realm! cheers!
April 9, 201411 yr Thank you for your Kind Words! ... your friends they are all probably ahead of me in knowledge! ... Instead, I believe that you're Teaching us good lessons, not only of great craftsmanship and inventive, but also perseverance. What you're doing, turns mechanic jobs into a work of art. Kind Regards.
April 26, 201411 yr Author I got more did. Here is the pass. side shot drivers side shot The very middle sleeve was just baseline spacer . cheers
May 27, 201411 yr Author I started looking at a mechanical steering option again lately , as you have seen previous.It took about three times before I was satisfied.But it seems to have worked out well. It almost seems like the tie -rod is the wrong size.DDOn't get me wrong, I have never dealt with this type of steering until now. And may have verry well fawked up. But the more I look at it, the more the tie rod pains me.lol I also started fingering out the TC style steering pump for the Subaru motor. I was able to modify the aftermarket mount for the the Trail-gear offered 1450 and -1650 psi pumps. I had to inboard the moutning holes by about 5/8ths. I have no awesome pictures because it looks like spoob.lol But I do have basic pics of it being mocked up. I also modified the stock A/C bracket by cutting it a bit. so that I mount the Alt. from the top as opposed having to slide it in from the side kinda. Know what I mean? Flipped it over, and can run it from the other side.NICE! cheers Last edited by monstaru; Yesterday at 11:50 AM. Edited May 27, 201411 yr by monstaru
June 4, 201411 yr nice steering box mount. what's the pressure of a stock EJ PS pump? I wonder how that differs from the old EA81 (non-turbo) style pump? If I ever get to SPFI mine, I need to figure out something different for a pump...
June 9, 201411 yr Author No idea on the pressure of an existing unit. The unit I am using , that you see above is , an aftermarket Toyota unit sold by trail gear. This happens to be the 1650PSI unit. I will eventually put the hydro-assist ram on. I have it, I am just trying to get this thing useable before I install it. Get some kinks worked out, ya know. I bought the entire kit, used. Well, except the ram. SO I couldn't tell ya what just the pump would cost right of hand. This bracket I found off an Mercedes v8 at the yard. It has a star wheel bolt for adjustment at the bottom rear of this orientation. Should work out pretty cool. Are those wires? Also , I mounted a starter, started the redo of the electrical box due to size constraints, and have the tensioner options laying on the bench for a brainstorming session. I might be in need of a 2 prong Alternator plug if anyone has one. I can't seem to find the one I already cut for this. On to the battery and radiator mounts here real soon. the list is getting smaller!! cheers Edited June 9, 201411 yr by monstaru
June 15, 201411 yr Author I made the adjustment bracket out of the mercedes bracket , and my own mount added onto the stock(slightly modified) A/C bracket. THINK I have the tensioner finally figured out for the power steering pump. will finish the slot on that bracket tomorrow. oh yeah, It has belts on it. cheers
June 17, 201411 yr Author no, no it's not the spirit. But this inset is the spirit. And these brackets bring the spirit. with belts Starter and a gaping hole lol cheers
June 17, 201411 yr Author So do we have the beginnings of a starter access pop panel? Twitch We have the start of a removeable transmission/tcase access tunnel.
June 18, 201411 yr Author Removed. lol not built yet, so will be removeable. seriously?calling me on semantics? lol spardnubbin
July 2, 201411 yr Author So, picked up a HO alternator from ACE alternators. I also picked up a new 200 amp battery isolator. Two batteries AND an isolator.This 12 volt system should turn out great. And I have some round 27w LED. lights coming to match the grille I have. Hopefully I can pick up a single round light grille also , that way I can see what will look better. Either way I will have the lights to fit. Pics later. cheers
July 4, 201411 yr LEDs are getting cheaper. Check these out. They're what's going on my Jeep. Hard to beat that many lumens at that price. They come in 30 degree spots too. http://www.ebay.com/itm/7Inch-36W-CREE-LED-Work-Light-Bar-Flood-4X4-Offroad-ATV-Save-ON-54W-72W-12V-24V-/251373194956?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a87028ecc
