Slammed to lifted 740 wagon

Wow! The 745 looks lots better lifted than a 245.:nod: I wouldn't have thought it'd look that good...but it looks great IMO.
 
I was having issues with the rear coil springs popping out when the axle articulates fully (which is why I never jumped it) and now fixed it with a couple 'a straps 'n bolts. It's quite a poised car in the air. It lands pretty nice too. It keeps impressing me. I'll get some more pictures up so you'll have stuff to look at.

the volvo had tonight off. instead we all went up to bogus basin and had a drift session for a few hours. we had a turbo e36, 20b fc with a gt40, is300, ma61 celica, ae86, s13, te27 corolla, crx, mini cooper s, another 3 series bmw, and a 350z. the guy in the lexus let me drive for 10 runs or so. my plan is to buy a drift car again. here is an old video of us. i'm in the 240 with the red fender.

i remember watching these a year ago. thought it was the coolest sheit.
 
Pictures my friends. It looks cooler IRL, but mostly everything does. Someday I'll degrease and paint everything.

I needed a skid plate, this highly flammable acrylic was in the driveway. I cut it with an angle grinder and drilled a couple holes in it. When I have the desire I'll get some HDPE.

thanks man. i'm glad you enjoyed them. we still do it and much more intensely. the cars are getting better and better.

sweet man get some vids of you guys on the pass.

also i think everyone will like some vids of the 740. ever thought of making it awd? using a transfer case?
 
I haven't thought about that, but rather getting something already AWD. I've been looking into trucks a lot for suspension designs and it's made me want an overlander type rig or a prerunner, then a C303. I would like this to have some more travel and I'll call it quits on suspension. I will eventually turbo it and do a couple upgrades like 8.8 and then fix all the vibrations and creaks. I really want something to take in the depths off road and something to fly through the desert. Too many wants.
 
That's the plan. Just gotta get more money. I was thinking either 3 or 4 lights in front of the grille or 4 up on top. Eventually I'll go with tube prerunner style bumpers and skids. I plan on coilovers in the rear and figuring out a longer travel front suspension setup as well. Possibly I Beams like a ranger or figure out a way to mount a coilover in the stock strut location and extend the front arms 2" with some beefy heims and uniballs. Then Baja.
 
Tires arrived. They're quite large. I may need gears now. Dudes don't even run them on stock Jeeps. Does anyone know where I can buy 15x7 +20 steelies?
