Pumped up fenders actually make it look like a Subaru.
Isn’t the 80 wide enough?

Engineer meeting yesterday on phase 2 of this plan, because in Australia we have to get registration approval for most things to be able to use it on road and registered. That all went well on the plans so far, so now to begin the check and measure and get parts happening for this one !
Also just got my Slee #shortbus bar back I modded to suit my Warn highmount winch to fit in the 80.
Always liked the bow motor highmount and adapted many, from my firsdy 80 in 1996
To my FJ Cruisers in 2011 to 15.
So this will be the front set up off the old #worwgn with a pr of Rigid Ind light bars i cut into each wing when I modded the bar.
This should give us enough room for the 2 Safari 100 series TD intercoolers to fit side by side behind the grille still.
As we want to run twin GT35s on the LS2 6.0 with twin intercoolers and twin throttle bodies, to make it nicer on part throttle to drive.
Something this kind of turbo placement, so rocker covers come off, but twin air boxes and twin snorkels with turbos tucked in between engine and radiator with the space a V8 gives over a straight 6. Batteries will also be gone to make room for air boxes and intercooler pipes which will go down and back side by side to the safari coolers each side. The intercooler to engine pipes will come back beside the air boxes, to a throttle body each side, so worst case the 2 intake pipes to the throttle body can come off to access belts and front of engine. I then hope to get the exhausts down toward chassis and back, exiting inside of the chassis rails and the left bsank crossing over behind the T case like a V6 FJ Cruiser or prado sort of deal without the big bit of oval pipe to fit LOL. We may make new mounts further forward, to neaten up the space, and make room for this if need be. Something we can slimline down and forward for room.
