Unique or odd 4x4 builds that dont seem hack.

[slowlygettingthere]

Seen this while picking up my pizza the other day. Seemed to be built decent from what I could tell on my slow pass by. No huge hanger drop brackets or hacked up steering.

i hate how tall most car conversions end up being. that thing would be so much more dope about 6" lower and some fender trim work.

6" lower and hed be trimming the rear doors/body structure to fit the tires. Looks like they trimmed as much as possible without getting stupid. Not everything is built to be a LCG rock crawler.

Looks decent to me.

the trophy ltd car is freaking awesome.

 

[SLOWPOKE693]

Yes it is!

There use to be a sweet looking '61 Ford Ranchero in town with a 9" rear and D44 front and 33's. No hack work.

It was well proportioned in looks as well as functional....

yeah leaf springs and solid axles are a pain to get the body dropped on, but compare the look of it to the look of the IFS trophy ltd above.

Trophy LTD was built with a purpose in mind. I'd say the other one was built with the intention of having fun. I doubt 4x4 version guy considered jumping it as a #1 priority.

Trophy LTD is also 2wd with much smaller tires. If you added 4wd and bigger tires, it would end up being much taller.

Somebody posted one in the other board years ago, a 64ish 4 door galaxy on f150 gear and 33s, clean and simple, in n or sought Dakota, probably built in the 80s before suvs, I liked it

So much want.


I remember seeing a Crown Vic done up in a similar manner. It was maroon if it remembering correctly.

This on is one of my favorite Trars It would be cooler with the original interior/dash though.

Remember panel wagons?

This isn't unique, it's just lifted van, but there's no such thing as the panel wagon SUV anymore and this about as close to a new one of those and I kind of want it:

Kid I follow on YouTube just finished this. Swapped in a WRX drivetrain to make it AWD.

 

[Lilyota]

One of the counter guys at NAPA wants me to check out something he has...

Apparently it's a Caddy sitting on a K5 chassis.

Ole hotrod's (from the other place) chero

First hand from old timers I've heard about a couple of those falcon rancheros and even a maverick being converted to 4wd using leftover early bronco parts, makes sense, they were getting rolled and smashed and there were probably lots of d30s and 3spdd20 combos floating around.
hell a 6 cylinder ranchero 4wd probably got 20mpg and as useful as a pocket on a shirt

Fender trim work?

This one was just part of a recent east coast trar adventure



And yes, the math between the axles/gear ratios/tire size difference was actually calculated and worked out.

Bump
This just showed up on my IG.

 

[SoylentGreen]

I'll just leave this wacky little thing right here.

 

[Ksand]

This was on my marketplace recommendations

 

[Thumping]

Back in the early 80's my cousin put a vega body on a CJ chassis. It may have been hacked (at that time I wouldn't have really known) but to an early teenager, it was friggin cool.

I hate that fake AI bullshit.
Oh I'd love to drive that thing but I have legs.

 

[mdmike]

This little thing seems cool.

 

[posford]

Who remembers the Corvette front the old place? C3 something was the thread. Wonder if he ever finished it

I think Sean built the first one as well. He's since redone Gretta and put smaller tires on the rear and a different rear axle.

This Firebird is in Wichita. He wheels it at Disney. I have seen it there a few times. Its really clean body. I have also seen it running around Wichita and down the highway at 75. I talked to the guy years ago I think it is on a scout frame and axles.
