Bunch of boogers there :)but it's just body work:-p Turn down your speed if you are going continuous on that plate.An inch or so at a time is fine as long as everything Is already tacked together. Take your helmet off if you are spotting, that way you can see what you are doing, and do more fitting/banging .Obviously closing your eyes when you weld(hint :keep them closed longer than you think you need to until you get your timing down.Getting flash burns sucks as you probably already know ,sucks bad.... Sorry for the blab, it looks good. Nice shape .Looks like its coming together!!!Awesome. I really want to solid axle Stella next.Every bump up in power or tire size equates to more breakage.It just feels like polishing turds is getting old. Cheers

Just out of curiosity ,What type of material are you using for the light bars, and skid plates? cheers

He is choosing it this time.So you can only feel so bad for him. I do like it, old Landcruisers are pretty awesome.I don't like putting Chevy motors in anythingbut, It's worth the time.Too bad you did not do any work on it.THAT would make it yours.That has been my whole point .Through all of our little internet love spats. I am really not a bad guy, I just hate when people think they are better than others because they spend money on stuff, instead of blood and tears. You do that in a CERTAIN way, just like the rest of us.BUT, with all that space in a fancy shop, nice tools, and some time:what are YOU gonna build? We live close enough we should have a beer,that way I can talk ************ in person:-p And the folks I have met that have met you, say your alright..... cheers

Awww, poor baby. I'll poor a bit out for her tonight...:-p;) cheers

PICTARS!PICTARS!PICTARS!!!!!!:-p cheers

That is F-in cool B....

I think it should be a driving/offroad competition/race . The last time your car would not work, but was built.I simply did not bring anything.:-p And It must be built by yourself with little help.(meaning not have it shop built)You must be involved more than 75%.Buying parts is one thing.We all do that ,but having someone else put it together for you is just ridiculous...... Anyone can pay to have a rig done. I really think that you should not be able to compete Scott.You won by default last time.You can compete the next time.:popcorn:You do nothing but build Subaru parts now.So its a little unfair.... I think you and I should judge said competition. whatcha think? cheers

Well,I Imagine a D/R designed for an EJ series would hold up just fine. I will most likely be picking up an Impreza for this,and already have Most of the drivetrain bits .Need to pick up a nice Vlsd and were om our way! Cheers

Have you ever driven an RX? cheers

nuff said.... LOL cheers

Me too Hopefully I own it next week! See ya Sunday! Cheers

Yeah, I wasn't asking for opinions.lol I was stating my intentions. I will be using the recipe I stated above. ... The title is rhetorical $ Cheers

I have pretty much done what I have wanted to do in the Offroo'd arena.Kinda. So, now I am thinking on building a streetcar.I think I want to use a frankenmotor, D/R EJ 3.9, and VLSD. I would like to go a skosch lower than stock , but not ridiculous. I also think that some adjustable Pinks, strut bars, and rear lateral links would prove sweet. I wanna keep it tight to drive, absolutely streetable, and quick as ************.I might consider having someone help me change the transmission to a 4.11,but I think that 3.9 will suffice for a while. Gotta figure on getting off of the steelies, and into some other wheels.... This'll take a bit.Don't even have the car yet LOL. But even when I get it I'll have to pick up some snow tires, and do some basics to make it DD worthy. cheers:D

I would use the same pattern as the front.Consistency seems to have a better look.Of course it depends on if you were considering a different offset rear wheel for MORE flair or not....:-p cheers Show the front painted!!!

************ING AWESOME MATE!!!! I was wondering if you guys were hittin that up this year. i hope to find a small venue like that this year. I started talkin to a bloak about it, we'll see what happens.!! cheers

I would if I was not picking up a car !! cheers

Have fun men!!! cheers

*edited for drunk typing* Oh yeah.I think Ima make this one.:)Although , not in a Roo unless I reseal her car. cheers:grin:

WOW, that looks like some thick steel.I would think that the weak points now are at all of the corners of those plates.Being as how the unibody is not very thick. What thickness did you use? cheers

Nice work, I used to patch surfboards all the time.I like fiberglass, unless it gets hit by a tree.or road debris, or a shopping cart, or your buddies dumb rump roast....(when he leans on it) cheers

The point is, you are not the first one to try an tackle this monster.We all have at some point thought about this,done R&D to make it happen, or flat out meltedd some ************ together to make it happen. It's an old hat, that you are trying to wear backwards.Still the same hat.

And you would have to recapitulate the entire mounting system on both sides.;)Ask me how i know... Hey Torxx, I will be taking off my lateral links.Alittle worn, the boots are torn, but they do not make any noise.And for a fine upstanding guy like yourself, I would make a hell of a deal.:popcorn:PM me if interested mate. cheers

Because they are running machined surfaces with bearings .Not metal on metal.Pretty simple really. You are missing the point. cheers

I have never had vibes from my wheel spacers.And I have beat thhe ************ out of her . cheers

Welp, pan back a bit and Identify that area for me LOL That can't be right side up !:-p cheers Edit:So the big vobration from the skateboard wheels was because it was like making solid mounts.So isolate your trans through other means, by basically making your own mount.You can do this by getting some huge rubber body mounts, and stuffing them in there, or just fixing the crossmember proper.What exact crossmember do you need? cheers
