With that much hacked off the rear you should run air shocks and dump the coils. I like it

put a tcase in and move the front axle forward a good 2 or 3 inches to give a better approach angle.

You could also move the radiator to the back and hack away all the stuff in the front.

got more done today how is it looking just gotta put the new fuel cell and the tail lights on it some little other things and yeah

 

 

 

 

 

That thing is impressive! And it is too pretty! I love it. And I agree that the approach angle needs to be a bit better on this beast. Radiator in the back! Metal gone! Tires moved forward!

 

 

Who says wheeling Subes is old news?!

 

Thanks, guru...for keeping the spirit alive.

Good GOD that is one nasty looking rig, I think I like it! I'm almost in the process of building my new car, an 89 GL wagon. I don't think it will be that big....but who knows! Looking forward to more pics....

Expanding Foam Eh???

 

You aren't going to try to put an outboard on the back and cross the English channel are you?

 

Now thats what im talking about.

I'd like to see this pig covered in skidplates and body armor.

 

And mud.

Its so beautiful

hey thanks guys im really glad you like it it has taken a while to get it to where it is now everything on it i have done myself excluding the lift i owe a great thanks to bill omlin (thebeastidrive) i do plan on puting skid plates over certain parts oil pan,rear diff,carier bering ect. im exited to take it on the trails im gonna be welding the rear diff soon and and and well you will jsut have to wait lol thanks again for the comments

 

Rob.

Are you planning to keep the EA mill in there? Or is this going to be an EJ wag-hatch-Franken-beast? Huge electronic-high 5!

it currently has a JDM ea81 with a weber on an ea82 intake that im still paying for (thnx for being patient jerry) but later i would love to throw an ej 2.2 into it mpfi and all but i htink thats a ways down the road with my money situation ill probly wait till i put the samur..... i meen till i get my bills payed up

I'd like to see this pig covered in skidplates and body armor.

 

And mud.

 

Amen!! And a kegorator in teh back!

I like it

 

good Job :headbang:It nice to see some creativity :cool:

 

I think you will too'

 

after i cut the back off my wagon the front end tends to stay on the ground more and with the welded diff you will have more traction as the rear will rock from tire to tire , with the lighter weight that ea81 and a weber will be just fine , lets see some offroad pics
