thats cool. whats the deal with extra low?

[MetalMangler]

It is full time front wheel drive. When you lock it in 4wd, there is an extra low gear beside of 1st gear. It is solid axle in the rear.

I got my inclinometer out of one exactly like this at the junkyard. it had the same blue and white plaid seats. if my truck was blue instead of red i would have put those seats in my truck... anyway this thing is sweet

can you say sas?

[MetalMangler]

can you say sas?

You cant do a sas. It has a transaxle in the front and there would be no way to turn the front drive shaft if you did.

you can sas anything just takes lots and lots of money

[Cheesemaker]

I bet you could manufacture a 2" spacer for the front and put a block in the rear real easy.  They can do it for subarus.

   I think the shifter needs circumcised!

first off- that thing is BADASS metelmangler. i love it

second- I have personally seen a sas one, using toyota axles and a sammi case.

he welded teh diff in the trans, so it was full time 50/50 split, put a divorced sammi case in, plugged the half shaft holes, easy peasy. and with the factory low range, he effectively had dual t cases. he was running 4.56s, and 31s, with sammi leaf springs.

it was, needless to say, badass, and i would love to see you do it too

My name is Jonathan

I was surfing the web trying to trace down a wiring problem on my VW Bus and came across my old car.  I bought that car in 1996 from a dealer.  The previous owner won a new car in a golf tournament and traded the car in.  It had 64 thousand miles when I bought it.  It was the ugliest car on the lot and I loved it.  That car carried me through my senior year in high school, through college at ASU, and into my corporate job.  I traded that car in on a Nissan Truck in Whithfield VA.  The car use to have a nice rack..that explained the rub marks above on the side of the roof.  I had air horns on the roof the button use to be on the bottom side of the steering column.  My wife always blew the horn accidentally when exiting the car.  I was in one accident in college.  I rear ended a guy while waving at a girl, it was a in stop and go traffic.  That explains the while the drivers side fender and hood are a little out of whack.  The original hood had a hood ornament you can see in the before accident pictures.  The green switch in the console went to the hella lights that go on the steel brackets coming out of the grill.  The wooden climate control knobs I did back when I broke one and decided to fabricate my own.  I had bull horn's on the front that I picked up on an trip out west.  Those stayed on there until shortly after I got married and one horn rotted off.

It was a great car.  I did have some issues with the alternator and regulator.  They would go out like candy.  You couldn't beat that car in the snow.

Best of luck.

Jonathan
