Here's the Chevy that I had a long time ago. This pic is just 12" suspension and 3" body, and 38.5 Super Swampers. Nothing special done to it.

I tore the Chevy all apart and built a tube frame with 4-link and coil-over suspension totaling 32" of lift. I can't find those pics, but here is a pic of the engine that I built for it. Mark IV 454, bored .030, 13.5:1 compression. Steel crank, All MSD ignition, Wiseco .700 dome pistons, closed chamber oval port heads with .015 shaved off with stainless steel valves and all roller crane cams valvetrain. comp cams 290 degree duration cam

And, here's the Toyota that I built. That was only 2" suspension and 3" body lift with 35x15" TSL/SX's, on 15x14 rims. That has an ARB air locker in rear, and a Detroit locker in front, with 5.29:1 gears.

damn 01stroker, some badass toys you've had!

Thanks, man. I forgot to mention my tan, 1986 Subaru stationwagon with selectable 4wd. Had a transfer case with 2-HI, 4-HI, and 4-LO. I cut the front fenders, flipped the rims around (they were wagon wheels that the mounting surfaces were completely flat on both sides), and put some 29" Super Swamper Vampire 4-wheeler tires on it. Had factory locker, front and rear, that were fully locked when in 4-LO. A buddy of mine owns an electrical company and has a conduit bender, so we made a snorkle out of PVC, that came out of the front right fender, along the A-pillar, and over the windshield. It was pimpin. That bitch had more airtime than my Banshee. :wacko: She was ugly, but was fun as hell to drive. Oh, and the m/f was street legal, WITH insurance. It was actually my primary means of transportation for about 6 months. Then the timing chain broke, and she went to rest at a local boneyard. :sad: I wish I could find the pics of that thing. I miss her. lol.

My last rig.....I have sold all of my wheeling rigs. No freinds to go with, and everyone now has quads, so I switched sports.....

Hey Fellas

 

 

I am new to the forums and stumbled across this thread so I figured this is a good place to start.

This is my 88 Wrangler with a 67 SB Chevy 327 with Edelbrock EFI. Took me 10 years to build now it sits in the garage collecting dust.
