Mighty Max

No matter how much money you dump into it, I'm sure it will come out being worth $600.

Good, then I won't feel bad about using it as a truck, as it should be.

Also, no good lockers are available for this rear end. So, I should just weld the spider gears. Yes.

The cops won't like you squealing tires all the time around turns.

Fuck cops. I'll be squealing tires while being outrun by tractor trailers and mopeds. I'll see them in court.

Are you getting BFG Mud Terrains or Kumho V710s?

[Eye of the Tiger]

Are you getting BFG Mud Terrains or Kumho V710s?

I can get both and switch front-to-back depending on terrain. In the 195/75/14 size, BFG AT TA KO,and Goodyear Wrangler AT and MT tires are available. I am not sure if I want to pay $150/ea for rear tires or not. I can get standard generic all-seasons for $40/ea.

Weber?

Would a 40 IDA work?

A Weber carb is worth more than the truck.

Not this one.

I dunno. There is a direct bolt on kit for a 32/36 dfev.

I bet you could fit a Ford 302 under the hood.

Probably not then. I can't imagine there's a ton of options for this.

Yeah. So can a 4G63, 12A, or R425. But I don't yet have my garage for such nonsense.

Use your land to install a 4G63 AND the AWD system from an Eclipse.

Not sure how applying land to truck will make it awd turbo.

In fact, I wish to apply truck to land and do some cleaning up. I can use the bed to haul brush and tree trimmings into piles. I can use the winch to move logs when I'm not using it to get a 2wd truck unstuck.

There will be no transverse mountings of things. Mighty Max will be RWD with extra traction provided by winch!

Too bad my head gasket isn't blown. Just don't have a good reason to ditch this engine.

You need more crankwalk.

I was going to get a dog for walking.

Why not make a front bumper out of a log from your land?

Because I have free scrap metal at work. And I'm better at welding than wood joinery.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Oh yeah, and I'll be getting a Farm Vehicle plate for Mighty Max. Because Land.

[280Z Turbo]

Do you farm anything...legal?

Dirt

I have a metric shit ton of pine trees.

I'm pretty sure what that makes it is usually known as a "forest."

I'm growing my trees on my land. And it happens to be zoned agricultural. Farm.

Keep feral cats out there and it's a cat farm.

Not a bad idea!
