The Other Vehicle

[CharlieL]

Our "other" car is my wife's Audi A7. Fortunately, she permits me to drive it to church on the weekends. Our current camper is a Rockwood 2304, which we've had since 2010. We're moving up to a Durango 250RED fifth wheel, which we have on order - hopefully will see it early Spring. Does something with only three wheels and not street legal qualify? Not a "vehicle" but it does go very fast!

My other vehicle is a 2004 Scion XA that was my Mother in laws. Could almost fit it in the bed of the Ram. Been in the family since new with low miles, great gas mileage and very low insurance and registration so I stick with it.

Ah, see, I was trying to figure out what your username meant but now I get it.

It’s your insuranc

In tribute to a older Brother Jimmy who had a off center good natured attitude. His 82 Toyota 4x4 was called Slightly High.

Proof of Concept Successful.

Outer frame of the first drive over ramp, got 3 more vertical studs and copied for the opposite side.

I think that private message your referring to was also from me! Yeah $800 for the film, correction and detail is a good deal.
your truck is unreal awesome looking and you shouldn’t be driving it or you’ll cause accidents and whiplash. Especially with the little kids in the mommy mobiles.
How do you like the Kabota? I’m thinking either that or the John Deer.

I just traded a Kubota B2650 (now called an LX) in this new Grand L L3560HSTC. I pretty much love my Kubota machines, but I've never had another brand. I know that JD has a crap loader valve, you can't smoothly lift and curl or smoothly lower and curl. The lift/lower and curl/uncurl functions in a JD fight each other.

But both are great machines and have a fabulous dealer and parts network. I wouldn't go near any of the Korean sourced tractors (that's the great majority) and I'm not a fan of Mahindra.

Well, I guess since I got my new Ram, the wife gets a new Jeep. Brought this home about 3 weeks ago.

The beaters get the garage spots. Wife doesn’t really like that. Works out in my favor because now she says we need a three or more car garage.

The sign on the support beam clearly denotes ownership. I believe this picture could be used as supporting evidence in the court of law.

Nice rides in here.
Heres my other ride project I'm working on. 1950ish Cushman stepthru scooter. Came with a custom made body.
Been replacing some of the steel body on the front to get it straight. Basically doing a back half and stretch on the frame. Added 4 inches into the foot area. Widening the frame behind that by 3 inches and stretching it another 5 inches.
Gonna run a hoosier 18x10-10 rear tire on it. Setting ground clearance somewhere between 3 to 4 inches.
Building a Harbor Freight 420cc motor to drop in it. Billet rod and flywheel. Forged piston. Custom ground blower cam. AMR500 roots style blower at 10 PSI of boost. Custom CDI ignition with variable timing. Goal is 50 HP. Comet CVT transmission. Geared for 65MPH at 6200 RPM. Total weight of me and bike will be about 500 lbs.
Should be a fun ride.
Doing a lot of mock up right now to figure out placements and sizes.

Look forward to seeing updates and finished product! Maybe dyno specs too LOL.

While the picture might be admissible evidence, the credibility would be in question calling that Porsche a beater.

I spy a dead mosquito on the front, clearly not a parade piece!.

Atta boy! Don’t forget the extra shop space when going for the upgrade.

2008 SRT10 Viper, I've had more fun in this car than any I have ever owned!

Finilayy settled on my frame mods. 10" stretch, 3" wider in the back half. Lowering it 3" to a 4" ground clearance. Did some measurements last night and my rake is at 24 degrees. Going to rake it out to 30 degrees.
Couple of mock up pictures after doing the frame.

Amen, just ordered my 30x40 last week.

Figured I would throw a few pics up of my winter beater/knock around. 2009 Subaru Legacy GT 5EAT(auto). Limited trim gets heater leather, sunroof, Harmon Kardon audio and with the cold weather package it has heated mirrors and windshield(wish it had the heated wheel my Ram has!). Junk black wheels with Blizzaks handle the slop well. Enkie Rajuns for the summer dress it up well.

I am just finishing up a recent re-build as the original 2.5L decided a rod bearing had enough around 75k miles. Due to time and space availability I had a shop do the engine swap for me but worked closely with them to fix/upgrade things with hopes of longevity along with a bit of a performance enhancement. I sourced 99% of my own parts and they did a nice job with the build.

-New OEM shortblock from Subaru
-Heads redone by a local machine shop
-ARP hardware
-MLS head gaskets
-New OEM gaskets and seals throughout
-Custom VF46 turbo built by JMP(LGT forum member and great guy)
-Crawford Performance street AOS system
-Air pump delete and tuned accordingly
-Aisin timing kit with OEM water pump/t stat
-Group N STI engine mounts/pitch stop
-Cobb 2" Up pipe(wrapped)
-Cobb 3" catted Down Pipe(partial wrap)
-stock injectors and air intake
-AEM 320 in tank fuel pump
-TurboXS axle back system(Subaru rumble with a nice low tone)
-Cobb AP3 for tuning/logging
-Custom eTune through Tuning Alliance
-Powerstop Z23 street brake kit

With about 300 miles on the build the car runs great. Remote tuning presents some challenges but there isn't anything radical about this build so with Mike's expertise and some datalogging on my part i am confident we will get things worked out and the car running tip top.

Again I built this car with hopes it will last and be a nice first car (AWD) for my daughter in the next year or so. She isn't crazy about it but she'll come around when she starts collecting paychecks and seeing how far they don't go lol.

Awesome!! Great build.
