January 8, 201412 yr Author I got my Detroit sticker last night and my 6 puck clutch disc. I might have messed up on that one! LOL I should start assembling motor, and finish T-case this weekend sans Seahawk time. cheers
January 15, 201412 yr Author Yeah, I should know better than to try an put expectations in place. But I MAY have a 4 day weekend. Two of those days for the Mama , and maybe I'll look at the truck lol
January 26, 201412 yr Author Also got the T-case all torn down(again) and cleaned-ish mostly. lol Put it back together with the shift fork in the right direction! DOH! And Ultra grey in lew of gaskets, as well as Assembly lube in ALL the places it needed it.hopefully.LOL Should serve me well for a while. Just threw the front diff up on the bench for the locker swap starting this week. I have some timing belt assembly on the motor I hope to accomplish tomorrow. cheers
January 26, 201412 yr I'm ready. Good to see progress, looking forward to that "pucker" look on your face as you finally get to wheel it thru some crazy shiz.
January 26, 201412 yr Author I'm ready. Good to see progress, looking forward to that "pucker" look on your face as you finally get to wheel it thru some crazy shiz.I have been wheeling since I was about 10yo in the desert and rocks, I may be new over here. But by far not new to the wheeling world. Not to say I won't have the " O " face.. lol It will be weird to be in a truck again though. Way higher off the ground than I have been in years<in the woods at least. I can't wait either bro, I can't wait either. This football season has kept me away from the garage a lot. So , after we win next week I will be back at it a little more often. cheers Edited January 26, 201412 yr by monstaru
January 26, 201412 yr The football season has kept me out of the woods. lol. BIg parties at my house every weekend.
February 2, 201412 yr Author Got some relays ordered. Got the new timing components on, covers are sealed up. Sensors are on the engine. Swapped intakes to one I had from Uberoo's car. Man, Am I glad we took that engine out.LOl I will give one back of the same vintage when He needs it. It needs a custom bracket made for the power steering pump, which is for a Toyota hydro steer setup. That could be interesting. For Air I have the choice of 2 Cadillac electric pumps, or a York oilless. Depends on if I can change the v belt pulley on the York or not. I have a whole bunch of stuff to do . But am plugging away. cheers Edited February 2, 201412 yr by monstaru
February 2, 201412 yr I've only taken my truck wheeling ONCE since I built it, and got the trespassing ticket… I wanna go wheeling too dammit… SWWA is pretty restricted as to where it is OK to be off road and not risk getting ticketed. Keep up the good work…..
February 10, 201412 yr Author Yeah, I wanna try an wire up a buzzer or something. lol that's my AUX 1 for add on later cheers
February 17, 201412 yr Author alright. So the dirtiness can almost commence again. I am thinking that I want a stock Subaru color. I think that a Colin tribute would be awwesome! However, It might end up either ea81 Maroon, or Ea81 green. The other thought was Old school landcruiser Mustard yellow. Flat and or muted with no shine. Could even go with a wrap. I knkow a couple of cats that do that type of stuff..... I wonder.... what say ye interrnets? lol cheers
February 17, 201412 yr This is the best use of a Toyota I've seen yet! My vote on color goes towards (i don't know the exact name) the same red that a lot of the ea82 Loyales were... for example: http://www.motorstown.com/images/subaru-loyale-08.jpg

February 17, 201412 yr This is my Vote: ... Old school landcruiser Mustard yellow. Flat and or muted with no shine... Because beside I like Yellow, the Dark Mustard Yellow without shine of the Old-School Landcruisers were very well fitted for an awesome & Serious offroading machine, like yours. Kind Regards.
February 17, 201412 yr This is my Vote: Because beside I like Yellow, the Dark Mustard Yellow without shine of the Old-School Landcruisers were very well fitted for an awesome & Serious offroading machine, like yours. Kind Regards. I wholeheartedly concur! Something about that old school Toyota color, kinda screams "Warning!" without actually screaming it. shoot it in a two part epoxy base, that way, as it gets wrinkled (pushing the others out of the way), it won't ever chip or scratch. (and a black stripe somewhere...please give it a black stripe?) Love what you are doing! and usually I'm a purist when it comes to restorations, but this...this is a work of motherfreaking ART! I love it and support your right (hell yeah, I said RIGHT!) to create such a creature! Please...continue... Admiringly, Timothy
February 18, 201412 yr Author Everything is still up in the air. But I do love stripes, and the Landcruiser Yellow. I also Do like Penelope maroon. I am not spraying the car. I Have a good friend that is an amazing body guy, he will be doing some body work to the bed and spraying it for me when it reaches that point. It will look good in the beginning LOL cheers
