alot of you may know me, and honeybadger. thought id introduce honeybadger for those who dont know it yet. so here it goes.
82 sx4. paid an entire $125 for it back in sept '09. it was in VERY rough shape, but savable. being it has always been here in eastern oregon, there is no rust in the car. (i LOVE living in the desert for that reason)
started out with replacing clutch hydraulics, carpet, headliner, drivers seat (still need something better, the '03 gc 10 way power seat is to tall) entire brake system, and all fluids flushed. took about 2 months, but drove it all winter.
over the years, it got a the gauge package modified to hold off the shelf mechanical gauges, and good sound system, and ford f-series tach to replace the junk amc tach.
mechanically it got a 4.0 head first. then the 2.73 axles got ditched for 3.08 gears front and rear. lifted 2" and fitted with 215/75/15 toyo open country a/t tires. then the 129 t-case exploded, so it got a 229 t-case. then when the 258 finally took a dump it got a 4.0 dropped in it. i had the GRONK 2150 carb kit on it from day one. that stayed with the 4.0. i just scored a t5 to replace the t4 trans. that will get done this spring. i drive the car almost every day. getting mid 20's on mpg with it. theres so much more stuff thats been done, i cant even begin to remember it. but the car gets USED!
stance difference between the stock sx4 i had for a while, and honeybadger.
honeybadgers 50 mile ride to town to get exhaust fabbed up for 4.0 head
hauling the horse 45 miles to go for a christmas day ride.
working hard here. over 300 heavy duty T post fence posts and other junk when moving mom and dad. trailer weighed atleast as much as the car. the air shocks in the rear were aired up all the way. slow ride the 10 miles or so.
4.0 almost finished installed with complete smogectomy.
drag car and honeybadger parked together. for some reason, the height difference doesnt look here as drastic as it really is.
