March 14, 200719 yr Author it would be really rad if it was done in it's infancy by then at the basic stages ,to be driven and not broken. i am hoping to have it done by the show,whenever that is,unless it is like june! hopefully on a good schedule i will have the fabbin done by the middle of june(my b-day)and drivin it by the end of summer succesfully. then just add stuff i want as i go. you going to have this ready by august? i'm planning on a weekend campout at naches and rimrock area. which vehicle i bring, depends on if the yota is done.
March 14, 200719 yr the toyota frame has the axles he wants for the samurai frame. I think. it's what you'll need to do to your subaru next rob :cool: sami frame yota axles and about 36's!
March 15, 200719 yr Author they are.one is toyota, and one is a zuke.... Correct me if I'm wrong, but those look like 2 different frames:confused:
March 15, 200719 yr well disregard my statement about the yota frame length, the suzuki frame picture didn't show up when I looked at them the other day... Makes much more sense now:headbang:
March 15, 200719 yr Author i am awaiting expert advice as to whether or not the toy frame is bent.when that is determined, i will know what i am doing. i got the motor all prettied up with everything except a carb.should be hitting up on one of those really soon.am really leaning towards just using the whole toy frame if it is not damaged. better approach and departure angles with it. i mean fabbin is fabbin ya know. gonna end up bein a damn buggy lookin thing by the time i am done with it anyway. cheers, brian
March 16, 200719 yr Author wheels and tires from todays trade.32/11.50/15(kinda small but should be really functional till i get meats) motors ready except carb(damn soon hopefully)
March 16, 200719 yr Author mainly wanted the rims,as theycan fit larger width tires on.the ones i have won't fit a wider meat.and i have to have something to roll it out on. besides,free is good. a/t's??
March 19, 200719 yr Author yeah, that was my first attempt at flames.obviously non-traditional.it was fun.i know at least that i can still swing an airbrush..it will be evn better on this rig. at least for the hood. I like the flamed up vw hood myself...
March 19, 200719 yr Author got some different springs for the rear,which means now i can move the springs on the rear to the front..just need to get brackets and i will mount them. :headbang:
March 20, 200719 yr Author yota.i am currrentlylooking into the possibility of using an old school spicer 18 transfer case and and t-90 trans.i have a bellhousing for an old 6 cylinder motor that is just the right size for adaptation to an ej-22.it is pretty crazy actually.extremely stoked about this because the gearing in the spicer 18 is low as ************.i'll get pics soon so which frame did you decide to use? the yota's or sami's?
April 10, 200718 yr Author ok....so,i have gotten a dream vehicle,getting rid of the wagon and using the brat.i just like the brat betterr.and have talkedd about making a tube frame eventually. back to it,i have decided that i will be towing the brat down. but, i will not be able to have it on a frame yet. so. i have to make some goals,publicly state them and get goin here we go i would like to do the following get the motor in. do shocks and struts trim a little weight here and there actually wire some things properly and wrap up some secrets that i have yet to reveal. more to come as soon as i can cheers,brian
May 21, 200718 yr Author ok, my moments of insanity are gone. the struts are on the way,shocks will be here soon too. the engine needs a gasket and is ready to go in.then we will see if it fires up. couple other little surprises.cheers, brian i'll get pics when the motor is in.
