Then came the mods.
*First came the trans. My buddy and I (both dealership techs) put together a a4ld/5r55e(01) frankentrans. It is a4 from the center support rear and 5r foreward (including the bell housing and torque converter). We had to use a 4.0 sohc auto starter.
*Took off the front bumper and welded a hitch in the frame.
*Added a temp rear rollbar/lightbar.
*Replaced the destroyed rear pinion bearing. A temp fix to get it going.
*Ripped a lot of extra crap off the engine. Lightweight race rig

*BFG all terrain ko's (235's) traded labor on some Dakota ball joints.
*Some killer rear chains.
Then we loaded up and ran it at the Dog Party. This thing rocked! I have under $600 in it and it went everywhere!!

It has a long way to go and the 2.9 is sounding pretty rough. I'm thinking it almost 4.0 time. We know it bolts up to the SOHC trans! It also needs a whole lot of protection for its passengers. I'm fairly sure it WILL crush like a tuna can WHEN I finally roll it.
So that's my story. I was happy to find a place that was geared toward BII owners. P.S. The sticker was already on there when I bought it...it will be getting a "Deuce Crew" banner soon
