I like that you build your stuff.... I have said that before somewhere, I just wanted to reiterate the point......

They are the same. Guy wants to trade his car for my Land Cruiser, I am considering it, but I really do LOVE the LC. It is a TANK!!!

I might be getting a 2000 2.5RS sedan this weekend, if it happens I will likely have another set, I will likely not NEED all 8...... Thank you very much.... I took the rack off too, looks good, and is quieter going down the fwy....

Yay EJ is fun.. AWD is awesome in this thing... I am LOVING this car right now, I can't wait to get the lil thing's worked out... I think the roofracks are coming off, what do YOU think?? Couple of pics from today, parked at work, nothing special....

Yessir..... 1995 OBD2 harness Stock EJ22, solid roller rockers 1991 EJ 5MT, 4.11 final drive ratio One piece driveshaft

HAHA yes very much.... ;-) And AWD is pretty badass too...... It is basically a Legacy in Loyale clothing...

Drove it home today! WOOHOO!! Almost hard to believe it myself. Still a few bugs to work out, but all in all it feels very good. I have to figure out another o2 sensor, and get it installed, and figure out how to get it through emissions testing to get tags on it... It is far from being DONE, but is ON THE ROAD, which is badass..... It is a bone stock EJ22 for now, it does have an 11 lb ACT flywheel, and it revs very fast. I will have a good butt dyno comparison when I eventually get the Frankenmotor back in with the deltas etc.....

Ya this is gonna be good... I think (read: am not sure) that the heads will actually be close to being above the frame rails based on the elevation of the trans etc..... On another note alltogether, I think my FJ80 needs a 3.3 and a manual tranny, I am SURE they would fit under the hood of that thing. Realistically it will have a diesel in it before I put a boxer in it though.....

I got new tires... Very happy with the fitment/driveability.... 315/75/16 on 10" wheels.... I am really not trying to threadjack.... I just really like my cruiser! someday I will learn to take good pics haha....

Super long story... Super short version..... The Frankenmotor burns oil, no bueno. It has been replaced with a STOCK 2.2 to get the car on the road while the issues with the 2.5 hybrid are sorted. I am hoping to be picking the car up on Sunday.... My fingers are crossed. This thing is really past due on all fronts..... If it makes it to 2013 before it is on the road it will have spanned 3 year ranges..... I started this damned project in early summer of 2011....... Life can really get a hold of us sometimes....

Very. Much. Like.......

I like your cars..... Very cool..... You're right.... Shoulda never sold the Brat... I have a few "shoulda never sold it" cars out there too.... Spencer

What gauge pods do you have on the A-pillar?? Thnx, Spencer

Looks NICE!!

Went and visited Rick's shop today. Tinkered a lil w/the car a lil, fixed a couple exhaust issues, installed a MAP sensor, and most importantly.... DROVE IT!!!! Thing drives nice! Power is there thats for sure. I really miss that car. There are a few things that need attention but it should be on the road in the next couple weeks, I'm hopeful.

Shouldn't be much longer now, fellas....

Pretty sure ea82 struts are a larger diameter where they need to fit into the knuckle.... I think they will fit but you have to open up the hole some....

Nice work, good job and congrats..... Looking forward to seeing what more you put out. Spencer

It has been started... Today... More will be revealed...

I put coilover sleeves over the stock struts. It is actually still on the same sleeves. I pulled them off a Honda Civic HB @ the local Pick & Pull, they are Skunk2 brand..... I will install the "real" coilovers after I get the car back on the road. It actually handles quite well on the sleeves. I imagine it will handle fantastic on the real deal.....

I need a medal for patience please..... Also, this can be moved to readers rides please!

duplicate post... my bad....

Wonder what the GPM are in that thing.....

I think lockers are great, and also somewhat overrated on these things. I wish I had them too but with as heavy as they are, it takes a LOT to even get in a situation where one tire is off the ground enough to be "stuck". IF I get to a situation where I end up re-gearing, I'll probly put an auto locker in the rear, maybe..... I dunno..... So far I'm really liking the heck outta mine! I've got most of the necessary stuff to completely de-smog it, which I gueass will help with the idle and lower RPM smoothness. It really is a tank.... You can literally cruise the land in these things haha..... :-p

Maybe leave the center section the full 7", and then taper down to 3" or 4" by the time you get around the corner and meet the fender. You'd lose the flange of the channel, but you could always weld a piece in to reinforce the edges that ended up flangeless.... Then you're hiding the winch and streamlining into the body.... Food for thought....
