Re: winter's coming, what are yalls projects?
I've fit 31"s on an Xterra without any lifting, only some trimming and really not all that much at all.....If thats not enough, crank the torsion bars and mod some leaves into the back and you'll be high enough....
Winter projects:
Get my Volvo 850R running 13s.
Projects for customer/friends:
Volvo 242GT:
Megasquirt'N'Spark EFI and ignition
Turboing
Clutch
Rewiring
Volvo 744GLE:
Built 2.5l stroker
Turboing
T5 transmission swap
Megasquirt'N'Spark EFI+Ign
Looking for a new project (AS ALWAYS)
Toward the top of the list of ideas at the moment: old Chevy pickup pre79 so I can run it on antique tags and set it up with twin turbos and a blowthrough carb, boost it till it breaks, then do it again with a JY motor or if I like it enough I'll build up a motor for it.
I'd also like a TII RX-7 (Who doesn't?) but I dun have the $ for one right now, and lots of other toys.
Oh and some duals on my Suburban, Its tooooo quiiiiettttt and bland (And a few more MPG would help)

Taking apart my current motor to see whats salvageable, blew it up at VMP late Sept. Upgrading to bigger injectors, maybe the turbo too. Only shooting for 11s and 400 whp for now..

im building up my 87 cherokee all winter. it's going to be a budget rock crawler and play toy. im hoping to have it 100% finished by spring so i have something to take on the beach and out on the trails. then once spring hits the buildup begins for the Z28.
what about yall?
