Four wheel drives

We were finally able to spend some time on the Geo Tracker. We cut off the damaged parts and stripped the interior. Then we installed the roll bar, which we bought in a junkyard in El Paso. After several hours of cutting and trimming, we were able to test fit, adjust, and weld it in place.

The project turned out great, plus it stiffened up the whole vehicle.  Next, on to fabricating a front windshield glass frame for the auto safety glass we bought in El Paso.

We recently acquired a 1985 Toyota 4Runner (a 4WD early SUV) that needs its engine rebuilt -- but that's the kind of thing I enjoy.

It's a unique one, as it seems to have every possible option, including an altimeter and second fuel tank. Sometime in January I will pull the engine (the famous Toyota 2.2RE), and post updates on the progress.
