yea i helped my friend josh pull his engine for the swap. it has the jeep grand cherokee engine, and jeep grand wagoneer transfer case so its pretty beefy. all he needs now is a lift to get more ground clearence

Okay, 56k killer coming...

 

My 89 GL wagon, stock. Daily driver, but quite often my days include this road.subarusnow.jpg

 

My 82 GL wagon (pics from today -- stock with crappy tires right now, though its getting a lift soon, can't believe I actually made it up some of the rocky sections without blowing any tires out. I also went through a puddle deep enough that I flooded the passenger side floor)

My '76 Ford Sasquatch (solid axle goodness :))

and my '84 turbodiesel mitsubishi pickup (yes, I'm dragging logs out of the woods with it)

mitsubishi.jpg

 

And it wouldn't be complete without the VW GTI...

Just kidding:lol: But, actually I do take it on some pretty bad dirt roads sometimes. I need to get a skid plate for it -- I busted the oil pan and an engine mount last summer. It's got a diesel engine, so the torque is really good, and it's so small that you can get it places people wouldn't think.

And my friends have a discovery landrover, a 1980 Scout (doesn't have the subtlety of a subaru, but makes up for it with brute force), and a 1974 FJ cruiser.

I'm assuming this is for mates cars as well, not just your own?

Well heres a line up of all my 4WDing mates weapons.

loveday_trip_16-04-07_lineup2.jpg

From left to right:

Toyota Land Crusier 100 series, 4.5L Petrol, Auto, live front axle, warn out Kumho AT's, stock as a rock.

Toyota Hilux 3.0L Turbo Diesel, IFS, Bridgestone Desert Dualers, stock as a rock too.

Daihatsu Feroza, 1.6L Petrol, IFS, live rear, new Kumho AT's, Stock as a rock again.

Subaru Brumby, EJ22, FT4WD with center diff lock, 27" Kumho M/T's, open front and rear diffs, 2" exhaust.

Subaru L-series 88 wagon, EA82 with weber, 26" Goodyear Wrangler TG's, welded rear diff.

 

Although, the Cruiser is my mates parents car, not his.

I've got a 92 Dodge Ram that I usally take in the mountains, since my 82 4x4 is currently dead.

 

Is that GTI with the diesel engine, by chance a GTD? Or did someone swap the diesel into it? I heard about the GTD when I had my Rabbit, supposedly they had a 120 HP intercooled turbodiesel, instead of the non-turbo 53 HP that the regular diesel rabbits had.. I miss that car (Esp. with gas being $3.17 at Arco here...)

Nope -- the GTD was never sold in the US. I just put the engine from an '88 diesel jetta in it. It sort of sucks on hills on the highway, but other than that, reaching 85mph is not that hard. Average 40+mpg even with hard driving though.

I think most of you guys just don't get the point of this thread. He means WHO do you roll with, not WHAT DO YOU DRIVE AND HOW MANY PICS OF YOUR OWN CAR CAN YOU POST?

Great job reposting all those pics of yourselves though. 30.gifawesomework.gifsignhijacked.gifbeatdeadhorse.gif

 

 

Anyways. It varies these days for me, but it tends to look like this.

Hey zap, I read that as "What vehicles do you guys use to go four wheeling (offroad) with." Everyone of [HTi]Dain's pics was the vehicles of people who he goes offroading with, except the black brat and the tan wagon, those were his. But, we now know that you have selective reading and chose to flame a member for an innocent post. Maybe he meant "Let me see some pictures of the vehicles you four wheel with that are your friends, not your's." THEN that would have been more clear. However, why would he want to see just your buddy's rig?

 

Oh, and I like the emiticons. The first one is implying that he is a loser.

Great job reposting all those pics of yourselves though. 30.gifawesomework.gifsignhijacked.gifbeatdeadhorse.gif

 

 

And, if you want to talk about thread highjacking, talk to rooinater about his comment on the brat. This thread wasn't to critique people's rides, just to see them. That is a hijack.

 

I feel like I should post the pics of the people I offroad with:

 

Here's [HTi]Dain's Brat, he does light offroading with it.

 

Bratcrew001.jpg

 

Here's Dain's wagon, stock but it still kicked rump roast.

Soob030.jpg

 

 

Savage's hatch. It's busted up, he rolled it on a gravel road. It still showed how great Subaru's were but never letting us down. Stock too.

Soob032.jpg

 

Here's Savage's brat, I fabricated most the lift for it.

Bratcrew004.jpg

 

There, those are the vehicles of friends that I offroad with. None are mine.

 

And the Quote "Don't act like your not impressed." Is from Anchorman. Not meant to mean anything.

 

Let's just get along, the mere argument that he supposedly "reposted" pics that were from a different thread is stupid. Maybe you should talk to the original poster for not using the search function, you guys do that to everyone in the new and old gen forums.

Yeah, it's always the smallest one at the park. Keep in mind it's open too. :-p

 

I like bringing a knife to a gun fight, if you know what I mean. tooth.png

 

Here's a highjack for ya. You still got your old birfs? Give em' up. I need one, or will soon.
