Welp I bought it. I know its a beater but it runs good and only cost me $300.

The truck:

89 Eliminator 2wd
Shortbox
Bucket Seats
4.0L
5-speed



The plans:

Sell Turbo Civic, buy $2000 All-trac turbo Celica, and spend rest of money on this

Fiberglass fenders and flared to match bedsides
33" BFG's
Custom Tube Bumpers and sidebars
Automatic Cherokee Rear End (takes care of gearing)
New Trac Bar (can you say wobble wobble?)
Tune up and clean up of engine bay
Custom Homemade Turbo Kit
Throw away ugly *** canopy

Gonna be a fun toy once I am all done.

****, youd be the one to not wear your seat belt doing that, then bust the ---- out of your face on the wheel.



-we used to do ---- like that with cars from the junkyards.

 

suspension seats and harnesses my *****.

 

there is a reason to take a pos and put it three feet in the air
to find the weakest link and make it stronger.

I think you need some dana 60s and 35s
pimp ----

 

that looks cool, I'd like to do that in my van

 

4.0 FI is a great motor. You are right about the 2WD to 4WD swap being a snap. I did one on a Cherokee. I took the front end and trans out of a junkyard Cherokee for $300 and put them in the 2WD I had and doubled its resale value. The center console is even the same for the transfer case shifter, just took out a piece of trim. I have always wondered what the 4.0 would do turbo. The manafold is going to be a bitch. The intake and exhaust are held down with the same bolts. I love anything different. Keep up the good work.
