Uberoo Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I am thinking about converting a saab 900 to 4wd with a sammy t case and toyota axles.Other than some minor tweaks the build looks to be pretty similar.That and I cant stand just putting the car on a toyota frame with leafs(ew.) although I might just put the saab on the toyota frame then build it the way I want to when money isnt so tight...

brumbyrunner Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 lookin' good man. I like how it ended up smooth underneath, nothing much hanging down. Are the wheel wells finished or is there more sheetmetal to come off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcbrat Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 wholy crap, that thing is a monster!! Looks good though. What else needs to be done? driveshafts lengthened new driveshaft tunnels in floor power steering set-up (with future SPFI in mind) remove remote oil sender setup and go back to stock brakes all around (including trying to use a hill holder....) locker for rear new front tube bumper with winch mount door/rocker protectors roll bar fuel cell placement and plumbing shocks battery mount (probably an optima mounted in the spare tire tray area, but maybe a bed mounted battery) painting all the bare steel either some spring spacers or lift springs for the rear to get back to the Subaru "rake" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowmastered87GL Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Looks sweet... from the early pics I was afraid the front axle was going to be too far forward.... but it looks perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcbrat Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 Looks sweet... from the early pics I was afraid the front axle was going to be too far forward.... but it looks perfect if it had been a stock brat initially, it may have been even further forward, but I had already adjusted the rear of the front wheel wells about 4" to make room for 30's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bratman18 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 It will look good with the rear end lifted a little though. But man, that's awesome!! So when is it gonna be done?? Any idea? I really can't wait to see pics and videos of this thing in action! Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monstaru Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 i think alot of folks need a comparison photo........of you next to a regular brat,you next to a "regular" lifted brat,and then next to the "thing".....:grin:cheers, brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbrat Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 it looks like 2" spring spacers will get the rake back to normal. there's a bunch of stuff in the back now, and no bumper/winch yet. it's sitting next to a jeep right now on 35's, and it's about a foot or more shorter than the jeep....

mcbrat Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 I got my sammy speedo cable last week, and I finaly dug out my spare soob cluster... cable is a perfect fit for the cluster, so I'll be able to use my GPS, and create some new numbers for my speedo, and have accurate reasdings since I'll still be streeting this quite a bit....
