Some fun toys in this thread. I used to race spec miata and moved on from that about 5 years ago. Since then I keep the toys to 2 wheels max and use the truck as a way to get to places where I will inevitably make questionable life choices.

I'm interpreting the word 'vehicles' very loosely here.....

And this made way for the Tremor.

Well, I have several other vehicles.

The one I'm mostly working on is a 71 F250 restomod that I've had apart for way too long (going on 3 years now). This is what it started out when I got it.

So far what I've done to it is a long bed to short bed conversion, crown vic front end with coilovers and a BBK, S550 rear end with coilovers and now I'm working on the body. Engine is a stroked FE to 444 with hyd roller cam, heads, and pro-flo 4 efi manifold. Should be around 500 hp/tq and it'll be mated to a 6R80 trans. Here's the build thread:

1967 - 1972 F-100 & Larger F-Series Trucks - 71 F250 Build thread - So I'm starting to tear into my 71 F-250. I figured I'd start a build thread to document all the work I'm going to do to this thing....

Second is a 72 F250 CrewCab on 40's. Here's a good look at what it looks like.

And here's the build thread I have on it. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1632037-1972-f250-crewcab.html. I didn't do the 4x4 conversion, one of the PO's did. It's the axles and drivetrain out of a 91 F350: 351W, C6, BW1356 mated to a D60 front and Sterling 10.25 rear end. I'm assuming a 6" skyjacker lift and it's sitting on 40's. I added hydraulic steering assist for better steering and a 1 ton tie rod to handle the 40's. Also did a complete re-wire, added vintage air AC and a new C6 from Broader Performance in Texas. Runs well, just get's <8 mpg on the highway. Eh, whatever, it's fun to drive.

I also have an 07 FJ Cruiser. This is what I currently use to two our small off-road trailer along with our two Great Danes. Here's what it looks like in comparison to my CrewCab:

The FJ is lifted 3" and is on 35's. I've done quite a bit to the FJ. Radflo 2.5 coilovers and rear shocks with Icon overlanding rear springs. RCI skids all the way under, All Pro HD sliders, ReszFab front bumper with a 13K vipermax winch, Smittybuild rear bumper, Dual battery, ARB twin compressor under the hood, re-geared to 4.88's with OEM e-locker in the rear and ARB front locker, and the Man-a-fre secondary fuel tank. Lots of work and I still want to add the supercharger on it so at this elevation (6K ft+) it can move forward on the freeway.

For my daily driver I have a Kia Stinger GT2 AWD that's had intakes and a JB4 piggyback tune. According to Berger's website on Map 2 it makes about 400 hp and 500 tq. It really surprises Mustang GT's and Dodge 392's at this elevation. It's a fun DD and I'll probably do a bit more to it later.

Wife drives a Forester XT. I hate the thing. So uncomfortable. Hope she gets tired of it, but I doubt it.

We also currently have a Valient Expedition off-road trailer for camping, but we're looking at upgrading to the OBI Dweller 15. Hence me ordering the 23 Tremor. The FJ just couldn't pull it.

1974 Toyota Landcruiser.. It sat at my old family property for about 20 years rotting. My buddy and I decided to rescue it from it's grave and rebuild it. My buddy, Dad and I spent the next 10 years working on it.

crate 350 swap, 2f was long dead, kept the 4 speed manual. Love driving it as much as my tremor, wife hates it though as it somehow has a worse ride than my RS with 40% dampers activated lol.

A couple of new (to me) toys. They're fun!

We saw someone post in the Facebook group a while back asking everyone to post a picture of their "summer" vehicles and thought it would be fun to do that here too! Pretty simple stuff, just post what other fun vehicles you have, any mods, etc, and a photo! We're looking forward to seeing everyone's interesting rides!

66 Chevy II swapping to a full Church Boys Racing bolt on front clip and sliding in a 408 LS stroker when I'm apart. Had stock suspension and a nice 355 sbc when I took over, it was a fun car, just wasn't scary enough for me.

I have been neglecting my Tremor for the past 2 months, been working on the jeep replacement project.

Any plans to tune?

Any plans to tune?

So many plans lol. I'm trying to hold off for a few years since it'll be my daily mostly for the gas mileage compared to the truck once it's fixed.

After that, at least stage 2. APRs tune goes to over 450 to the wheels, which is wild on this little car. For right now, just a clutch stop, BFI shifter, and in a few months the APR short shifter.

It's a lot cheaper to modify than the F150, I'll say that. Throwing 10k at the R goes a loooooong way.

Hmm, the different turbo they are using on the EA888.4 is pushing 450 whp on a stage 2 tune? When I had my 2 door mk7 GTI with a Vortex XL on 93 pump I was pushing 460 wip. I also know the IS38 (mk7 R) turbo was good for 350-370, hard for me to grasp another 80-100 whp on a Garrett based turbo. At least I think the new turbo is Garrett based? Don't know, once I sold my GTI I haven't been on the forums. I will say 460 whp and 430 wtq in a 2800pound car was a lot of fun to drive. Enjoy the R man, VW did a great job with the MQB platform.
