Hey, I'm Todd, a California escapee that now lives in Colorado. I have "built" a Cherokee, a Samurai, a Tracker, and a TJ. I'm no stranger to pouring cash down the project hole but most of my stuff has been mildly built for crawling The Rubicon, Moab, and daily driving.
I recently bought two (yes, 2) 1988 Toyota 4x4 Vans. One is a runner with high miles and the other is for parts with ridiculously high miles. Both are 5 speed with hi-lo transfer cases and freewheeling hubs.
I plan on a streetable trail explorer van for the Rocky Mountains that I am new to. I am researching engine swaps and figured MC would be a good place to look.
If anyone has any experience building one of these, please let me know!
