You just described a gutted sami with an engine swap....

Other than the four adult thingy, just get an old wore out Oddysee.:011:

Sounds perfect.:awesomework:

I think just buying a tow rig will end you life long search for the nonexistant perfect DD do everthing wheeler.

Wait, just get an xj, its perfect for you.:beer:

The only thing that would fit into all those parameters would be a sami. Smaller yet would be an LJ, 1300 lbs, 50"wide, 8' long, but parts availability sucks. If you'd like the best place to find one for sale, go here, go to the forums, then L series for sale. Aside from that, get a yugo and go to town with the sawzall and welder. :haha:

Over 2k pounds.... but I'll be getting a Daihatsu Rocky when I can, for the wife.
And add toyota runing gear (actual toyota, not daihatsuyota)

Could also go for the 4dr tracker thingies all gutted out and put toy stuff as drive train.

I could go with a small car and add the 4x stuff, I have a old 70 honda AN600 I could use for the body and tilte that thing is only 52" wide, would be nice to have a removable top too

those lifted cars look funny and they dont do that good do they?:stirpot::eeek:

but subaru is a hell of a car all of em!

You could go with a 2 door Tracker build. Still a bit on the heavy side though, they start around 2,400 lbs for the 2 doors. But you could throw Trail Toughs new 'Undertaker' reduction box on it and some stock Toyota axles and be set for 33" tires.

slednecks1124 · Jul 1, 2009

why are you so concerned about weight?

If it was me i would atleast get something worth wheelin such as jeep, toyota, **** even a samurai lol..

How about an old AMC Eagle.

There 4x4 already, they even come in a station wagon.

See one once with air shocks fully loaded and toreshon bars fully adjusted, the guy had 31" under it with room for bigger.
