off road/ winter beater project suggestions...

[twopass]

I had a Subaru DL hatchback that could climb walls, got great mileage in 2 wheel ,pull a lever and 4x4 low or high ,plenty of power ,and came with a rubber plug under the back seat where you put the factory lug wrench to raise or lower the suspention for off road use. Great car till my boy got T-boned by a Drunk in a truck.

Festiva=SUV=small utility vehicle

Mike just get a beater festy and put some rally wheels and lots of lights on it. It should go into the woods pretty good too.

^^ heeey ya, Mike you still got that big stack of lights? Put those on your winter beater! I do plan to use a Festiva for a winter driver myself eventually. That's what Raltiva will be for.

i have thought of getting another festiva and i know they are good in snow and with aspire suspension to give a mini lift and some off road-ish tires it could go a few places but i think a stock tracker/sidekick in 2wd could go the same places as the festiva and even more... never mind when you put it in 4x4... and if i stick a 2 inch lift on it witrh some better tires it will do just fine for the places i want to go...

Banana, I'd love to see pics of that 300 in the Ranger. I was considering a 300 for a project in the past but sold it.

this is now my wall paper, i have been looking everywhere for someone who actually put a 300 in a ranger everybody said it couldn't be done with out serious firewall modification, i'm now going to buy another 300 for my truck but its gonna be a street truck with either a huge static drop or bags.

i seriously almost went the 302 route but not anymore
