Re: 1987 4runner SAS

Nice clean yota for how old she is. How do you find the 35" tires, big enough? I hunted down a York ac compressor. Me thinks it's the only way to go as far as oba. Almost like a factory fit and finish bolted up to the motor. My plan is to make some aluminum tanks tucked in the running boards or...

Re: Fubars snow jeep build

the kind that you plug into a 120v outlet. I guess if I'm starting the engine in the winter then yes I should re install it.

here's a cool oil pan heater I came across. just rtv'd right to the bottom of the oil pan for better lubrication upon start up in cold weather. same idea 120v plug

Re: Fubars snow jeep build

going to drop off the block today at the machine shop. decided to just rebuild it stock and clean it up. the cam and parts I needed cam to a total of 1200.00 , I just couldn't justify that for the engine build alone... esp since the motor only had 75,000 miles on it. it did have some leaking gaskets...

Re: Fubars snow jeep build

Not much progress has physically been made, but I scoped out the guys I need to reprogram the PCM and trim the fat from the wiring harness. PCMforless.com and jimsperformance seem to know their stuff and at a good price too. I'll send the harness off next week. I've got an odd ball engine so I have ...

Re: Fubars snow jeep build

Thanks for the input ebsteve & nobody I do prefer the look of a short jeep with a good stretch and comp cut wheel wells. Maybe 6" back and 2" forward. I'd like to get in the magic 100" mark. It's about 95" now stock roughly. I heard links sort of drive the tire downward into ...

Re: Fubars snow jeep build

Yes I've seen snowbatman and the jantz guy with the big red jeep on YouTube. Those were sort of my original inspiration. I was going to build a jeep regardless, but I figured I'm a winter person and a snow jeep fits the bill. I hear you with the weight of the axles as I don't have many buddies in th...

Shop press for the jeep build

I made a press 36" wide for the garage. 50 ton air/hyd so should be capable of bending brackets and sheet when I need it.

Not totally snow wheeling related but it will be used for the jeep build

Re: New 69 Bronco to Snowtrek.org - Seattle WA is my home ba

Not all that familiar with broncos, but you live in an area that has a decent 4x4 following. If your interested in the axle swap, your probably not going to find an exact 'drop in' unless you come across a guy with a bronco he's parting out. Check out your local Craig's list, we have kijiji up in ca...

Fubars snow jeep build

Hi I'm new to the forum, I found this site while researching the topic. I live In northern Alberta, so cold weather and snow are around 8 months a year, and I've recently developed an interest in snow wheeling via YouTube and the guys who take the old logging roads up the mountains through deep snow...
