Here I am surveying the mountain the OMG Offroad Maschine is about to climb. Holy shit it's steep! http://www.columbusofftopic.com/filedump/mike/Jalopy%20001.jpg Wow, look at it go! Will it make it??? http://www.columbusofftopic.com/filedump/mike/Jalopy%20002.jpg Yes! Nothing beats the super offroad ready ruggedness of the BRONCO II ! ! ! money shot http://www.columbusofftopic.com/filedump/mike/Jalopy%20003.jpg Another successful off road excursion! Where will it go next? Score: Mall Krawler - 2 OMG Offroad Maschine - 1

And for suspension - are there any ways to lower the car other than different springs? Every vehicle is different is why I ask, my Tacoma is lowered in the front by moving the mounting position for the balljoint, which in effect moves the spindle up higher, but uses factory shocks. I don't really like using springs that make a large change to the vehicle's rideheight, it screws with too many things. Coilovers are a far better idea as they correct many of the problems you would encounter with only coils. There are two different styles of coils, progressive rate and fixed rate. Progressives are alright so long as you don't take turns too hard. They are designed to have different spring rates depending on how hard they are pushed, the harder you turn the stiffer they get. What this means is they ride alright when just cruising, but if you start to turn really hard they change how the car handles and can surprise you. Fixed rate springs are better for road racing, as there are no surprises. This is just another thing to think about. Coilovers are cool because there are sets out there that let you adjust how stiff you want the car depending on how you plan on driving it, without being a progressive spring (no surprises). Sometimes you can have as much, or even more fun with a car that handles great than a car that's straight line fast. I'm working on a fiero now that has a 90hp engine and won't be getting any engine mods anytime soon. I'm going to get it running, do a coilover suspension, upgrade the brakes and get some good tires, and it will be done. I may do an engine swap at some point in time, but that's not happening right at the moment.

What kind of truck? Keep in mind, that delsol makes a good daily driver, trucks can be more fun to customize, and you have more options.

318? 360? 4.0? More info would be helpful

Per the forum rules, please post a price. Also, pictures would help (but are not required)

There are places, the pics I posted are from Marietta from a couple years back, those spots have been shut down but there are other trails that I've heard have become damn near impossible. If you are interested, join http://www.ohio4x4.com they try to go on a ride once a month. But yeah, south and south-east ohio still have some places. And Adam - let me know when you find a place to fix and engine swap and lift the comanche, I'll get the trailer

the one is for sale, the other is used to tow your shit around. when's the last time you've looked at the '79?

Not really. I have no idea what I was thinking. http://www.truckinohio.net/filedump/mike/mike1.JPG http://www.truckinohio.net/filedump/mike/mike6.JPG http://www.truckinohio.net/filedump/mike/mike_descending.JPG http://www.truckinohio.net/filedump/mike/mike_off_camber.JPG http://www.truckinohio.net/filedump/mike/mike_on_bumper.JPG http://www.truckinohio.net/filedump/mike/mike_splashdown.JPG http://www.truckinohio.net/filedump/mike/mke_boggin.JPG And here's the ford that was with us (getting pulled by evan before the 350 swap) http://www.truckinohio.net/filedump/mike/andystuck1.JPG http://www.truckinohio.net/filedump/mike/andystuck2.JPG http://www.truckinohio.net/filedump/mike/andystuck3.JPG This was just from one day, we were bored and didn't feel like leaving Marietta to do anything.

Because it makes them money?

The bronco likes riding on the trailer. Kinda like how a dog likes sticking its head out a car window.

No darker than 50% is legal in Ohio on side and rear windows on a car. Windshield is allowed a 5 or 6 inch strip at the top. A truck is allowed any amount of tint on the REAR glass. Having too dark of tint is enough reason to pull you over here, and in central ohio many cops will use that as a reason to pull you over in hopes of finding something else illegal.

power converter. If you have a computer power supply you don't need, find the positive and negative 12 volt and hack off the connector. Be careful, they also use other voltages so make sure you've got the right wires. Why the fuck are you running a headlight off wall power?

The Comache doesn't move on it's own, what do you plan on dropping 40 stories and driving off in?

I own a vehicle with an Iron Duke in it. Not only does it not run right now, but even if it did it would not survive that.

Mark Mitias for governor, how's that for a solution?

Like the title says, I have a 13b (non-turbo) from an '84 GSL-SE RX7 that's still bolted to the 5 speed transmission. Milage on both are unknown. MOST of the wiring harness is there, but some of it I was unable to remove from the car. ECU is also included. The engine ran when pulled, which can be confirmed by Rotarded. I don't want to seperate any of this. I'm told that the FC's have different motor mounts, so make sure you know what you want. $200 or best offer. I'm willing to transport in the Columbus area so long as buyer arranges a hoist to get it into and back out of my truck.

His screenname got reset to EWhytsell. He's rarely on here anymore, though.

I want to see ANYTHING else go through half of that and survive.

rabbit ears that are almost as old as me, I might add

Did you just say KKK Byrd is an honest person? Do some reading up on that fuck, he was one of the KKK LEADERS before joining the senate. The West Virginians that elected him know this and don't care, which is obvious since he is the longest running senator in our government right now. Then there is his attempts to pave the entire state of WV into a 500 lane highway from here to DC at the federal government's expense. The other two guys I know nothing about. Byrd is one of the most crooked politicians I've ever heard of.

Ohio politicians suck, not much else to say. This guy claims to be better, but I'm not at all convinced.

Eric, don't you realize that posting pictures of your sister on the internet is a bad idea? I'll just have to give her a call and let her know you did that :zoom:

Aww, you were spending time with your little sister how special

Jealous of the flowmasters?
