Next Project

[2xtreme]

Last night I purchased my next 4x4 project. I will not be able to work on it for some time because I need to dedicate some more time to my wifes Suburban, my Boat and the Car Trailer I am building. But hopefully in the next 6-12 months I will start the next project. I have alot of plans for it and need to do a bunch of planning before I start but I am really looking forward to "starting over" on another project.

For Matt's sake we can start the "Debate" now but all I can say is that it is NOT an XJ.

Woohoo!! :woohoo: Mike's building a buggy!!

Subaru? Samari? Yugo??
:laugh3: :conceited

 

[2xtreme]

Yugo. Now there is an idea

Not a buggy. I have debated this for quite some time, but it just doesn't make sense for the wheeling I do in the snow, rain, cold, with children, camping gear etc.

Stab in the dark (Small, capable, enclosed):

Guess number two (going back to a Rover?):

Guess number three (something weird enough for you, Michael...oh wait, they come stock with lockers...so never mind ):

Guess number four (I've always liked these...):

Am I close? Are you selling the XJ?

Is it a Shelby Cobra? (inside joke)

 

[2xtreme]

No Cobra.... Yet.
No Sami (not sure you can use the work capable, and too small for my needs)
I like the Rover (especially the grey market, but mine wouldn't be a two door)
I love your 3rd (not sure what it is, I think I would go with a Mog or LR 110 or similar instead, but same idea)
not a car to convert to 4x4 (but check out that flex, are the swaybars still conected?)

Mike I worked on a 06 Range Rover this week. Make me gag. They may be British but they are built like a German auto. And that is not a compliment.

But what ever you choose is OK with me as long as you keep your XJ.

I am not a huge German Car fan, but what do you have against German Auto's and apparantly 06 Rangies (not like I could afford one of those anyway!!)?
I can think of several german auto's I wouldn't mind owning......

It is a duribilty issue, we could save it for the campfire or just chalk it up to personnal choice.

So are you going to hold out on us till NWFest? What about your Grand, it would look killer on 38"

#3 is a Pinzgauer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinzgauer_High_Mobility_All-Terrain_Vehicle)

#4 is a 4x4! It's a Lada Niva (aka the Russian Range Rover). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lada_Niva

So WHAT IS IT already!?

So, most of you know by now.

As of today here is the plan:
1988 Range Rover 4dr. (will be Moss Wood Green for those "in the know")
Stroker 383 (about 400hp)
700R4 (with all the upgrades)
Atlas or similar (not sure yet)
Mog 404 axles (found them resonably priced)
wheel base extended about 8" (2" front, 6" rear)
38-42" tires on beadlock wheels
Full internal cage, partial exo cage, tube fenders.
high boat side rockers
roll back soft top in roof
interior still in the works (probably 5 buckets, all custom panels with harnesses)

The research has already begun, the work probably will not start for at least 6-8 months.
If you are interested in talking me into other ideas, concepts, motors, axles, tires, etc. BRING IT ON!!

NO, my XJ is not for sale

PICS OR BAN!!!

-----Matt-----

 

[2xtreme]

I don't have any pic's from that incident. I have a few from the trip.

Howard, you got any?

Howard pulled him from Naches all the way over the pass into Enemclaw so that he could get AAA to take it home. If my memory serves me right?

Good campfire story really.

Matt, you have mail. You can host them and post. I will post some better ones when I get back into town and have some time to take some better ones and host them.
Michael
