tmoore4512 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Lookin good bro. I like the two tone design... I have had a few gallons of bed liner sitting in my shed for about a year now.... have been intending on doing that forever it seems just have yet to have time. Now it makes me want to do it even more! How much did that alternator set you back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Magicians_Eye Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 33x10.5x15 Do they really measure to 33's or do they fall short like some other Interco tires I've seen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stalker Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 They measure 33.6" I guess u can say that's a true 33" Just got done with a bunch of work...it's late but I'll post some pictures tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stalker Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 finished replacing both axles, upper and lower ball joints, idler arm, green machine is in and operating perfect, installed the flowmaster and sounds great, working on the aftermarket trans cooler, cut the base for the front bumper and working on a mount for the Warn winch...figuring out the angles to the bumpers is a lot of work, be prepared for new ideas and lots of changes as you go...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I'm just as interested in the Bug. By the Karmann badge, it is a convertible and I'm guessing an early 70's by the hubcaps, but that is a tough one... Nice work on the Pathy BTW.

ANDY Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 looking good stalker. what kinda of chamber(flowmaster) did you get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunya Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 looks a little short I too am curious about the bug a little... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedbuggy67 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 THe vw, the karmann badge were on them until "1980" or officially 79 models. Those wheels aren't orig,maybe JC whitney???APpears to have rubber caps on the bumper so that'd make it 74-79 vert. I'm gonna go on a limb say the rest looks something like this one.... btw nice work on the pathfinder! Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 (edited) Good sleuthing!! I can't see the rubber caps, but I didn't think later years came with the hubcaps/rims like that, hence my guess. Mine doesn't have the stock bumper or rims so nothing handy to reference to.

stalker Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 for my SAS project..!! this is probably about a 6 months away from being Dana 44 front and rear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Are you putting in the Dana 44 in the rear for gearing changes because many people stick with the stock rear axle. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stalker Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 Are you putting in the Dana 44 in the rear for gearing changes because many people stick with the stock rear axle. B i have been thinking about running the 44 rear as well...i figure gears and parts will be more available and with a better price... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
