    Forester: ExPo Subaru Project

    Great choice Scott! I had seriously considered the Forester after I sold my 80. And my build intentions were exactly as you stated. Oh, and knowing you, I am sure it will get driven like a rally car... :sombrero: Good luck with the engine.

    1988 E350 4x4 - La Ballena Gris

    So far the front axle has been swapped out to the Dana 60. I got the steering conversion parts from a great guy, Gordon, at http://www.pathfinder-vans.com/ I highly recommend Gordon for anything you might need for older 4x4 Vans. Super knowledgeable, helpful, as well as nice to boot. I also...

    1988 E350 4x4 - La Ballena Gris

    Well... I guess it is about time to update everyone on my recent pile of steel. Quick background: I owned a 1994 FZJ80 for six years. Which is the longest I have ever owned a vehicle. She was a great vehicle and handled everything with ease. However with Mrs. blupaddler in nursing school, the...

    Ford Quadravan rolling chassis - $750

    Unfortunately I don't need the chassis/frame. But I am interested in the fuel tank in the picture and maybe the rims? Mostly the fuel tank. Do you know any details regarding the fuel tank? Thanks.

    Aux Fuel Pump Problems

    I didn't have the Front Runner, mine had the Lone Ranger. But the set-up should be the same. The pump transfers fuel from the aux. tank to the main tank via the breather line... I personally would get a new pump. Don't be too concerned about fuel pressure, you don't need a high pressure EFI...

    Here's the link to the Ih8mud 55 section: http://forum.ih8mud.com/fj55-iron-pig-preservation-society/ Like Kurt said, rust. Roofline at the drip rails, front fenders where they meet the doors, rocker panels, driver/passenger floor, and body mounts are some that come to mind. That would be...

    I just fell in love with my Landcruiser again..

    (Sigh...) Seeing your truck without the rack and the Lightforce lights makes me miss mine... ughhhhh Back on track. I personally like the look of 80's with a naked roof better, and yours shows that perfectly. Kinda stealthy, kinda sleek, like you don't know what's hiding inside...
