What's your other project (non Jeep) . . . show them off here!

I'm jealous, I'd love to build something like that. Seems like alot of fun.

 

Thanks. It is fun. I'm ready to be done.

Added the rear door and bumperettes this evening.

I plan to remove the tire carrier from the door. Also the taillights will change to flush mount. The rear door will open all the way back. There will be a flip up work surface (28x18) on the inside of the door.

All I lack is finishing.

 

Just picked up this 1960 Totegote barn find. Its not going to take much to get it going its in really nice shape. Not original paint but its got great patina

 

Stripped everything off to skin the trailer. Many steps but first coat of paint went on today.

 

I've been working on this Jeep 'pop-up' trailer for a while...

 

thats awesome! i love the map siding...whats it made out of?

 

Cool use of the trailer jack.

My other project that was a big part of my life is my 2004 Subaru Forester xt turbo. I bought the car new in Seattle in 2005 and it was my first new car. I drove that car for about eight or nine years I racked up about 200,000 miles on it. Eventually I burnt an exhaust valve but I had no problems with that car up until that point. Once I realized there was a problem I pulled the motor and sold the short block for 500 bucks. I kept the cylinder Heads and had those redone and bought and installed a new short block.


I added a bunch of STI parts, sti oil pan, turbo, inter cooler. Basically the car is an sti engine at this point. High flow single cat 3” exhaust all new rubber on the engine. I also upgraded the suspension to high performance springs and rear sway bar.





At this point it’s putting down 305 torque and 254 horse at the wheels


She’s a little all wheel drive beast

 

I love sleepers.

 

Exactly so do I. This car is a mega sleeper it’s 0-60 in less than 5 seconds. I’ve upset a lot of Audi owners lol. Buts it’s fun and rugged and with studs in snow dang near unstoppable. Plus you can sleep inside it.

 

Love the orange Nomad - don't think I've seen that color before. Is that the most recent version? Looks like you might have it set-up as a c-1?[/QUOTE]

Yes good eye I am an open boater but get out c1 too. That nomads actually older @2006 or so. Mostly running local rivers like salmon, lochsa and Selway but been down the Grand Canyon in my oc1 and that was rad.

 

@FinoCJ, I seem to recall you do some kayaking, and backcountry skiing as well. Have you run the salmon or other ID or MT rivers? I’ll add I swam at lava falls on the Colorado and that was exciting.

 

^^ nice looks sporty
