Found some more pictures of the 4x4 Trans Am.

 

looks like he added some graphics this time.

 

call me stupid but I would drive that.

what would it take to make this? Drop it on a Blazer frame or something?

 

I'm sorry bro, but this is the most ridiculous,thing I have seen in my life.

 

I agree...

 

if you want to drive it, go to a junk yard and find the biggest piece of **** you can find and put it on a 4x4 frame then you wont ruin a decent or good looking thirdgen. and if your serious u have major problems

 

I think he meant that he would drive it, not build it.........i think it would be fun to drive that thing........Do a little off-roading

Would never do to to my car......

 

Okay....I guess I should be a little more specific.

I WOULD NEVER BUILD ANYTHING LIKE THAT. IF YOU DO IT'S A TOTAL DISRESPECT OF THE F-BODY.


WHAT I MEANT WAS....I WOULD LOVE TO DRIVE IT. GET A LITTLE OFF ROAD ACTION OR MAYBE EVEN CRUSH SOME FORDS OR IMPORTS.


Are we all okay with this now?

 

I think it looks horrible... very hillbilly-ish.

 

I agree, driving that thing would be fun.

 

Ok if you insist STUPID! Well now that you satisfied I'll tell you my opinion. I would drive it too! Call me *******_400 but I would love to go mudding in that. Dont know if I would build one. Well as long as it doesnt flip. Ehh. . . I would rather build a drag car.

 

opps..

 

That would actually be pretty good for rock crawling and such. Since it isn't as top heavy as a jacked up pick up or something. It's ugly as sin, but probably pretty fun.

 

lol.. that car parks only a few miles from my house. i see it all the time... it is one hideous looking thing.....

 

Alright, I'll be the minority.

I think it looks kinda cool. It appears nicely done, not like that *** awful looking one on eBay a whole back with the frame well below the body. It looks like a giant Hotwheels mutant. There was an old Kyosho R/C car similar to that except it was a 'vette. It really looks like a giant toy. Works for me.

Besides, there are sillier looking thirdgens around.

 

By the way. Nice ride flyinglow92rs. That is the same color and year as mine. It looks sweet bro.

 

Thanks you have a nice ride yourself

Just in case you didn't catch the auction here is a picture.....

 

Man I'd drive the sucker it would be a cool lookin rig when I go Roo & croc shooting. It shore beats a ***** 4x4

 

Got a video camera. Pleaze tell me you do and you can get a tape of this thing in action! If not get a tape from him. I'm sure he has one. This is what you do. Get a TV tuner card for your pc for 30-40 buck and record from the VCR to you computer.

 

all i can say is that it looks different!!

i would drive it!

 

how is it "hillbillyish, hickish, or *******" ???if it was any of then, it would be a old rusted out POS chevy, ford, or dodge pick up with a stock motor, stock suspension, a cheap homemade lift kit, and stock wheels and tires...not to mention a confederate flag somewhere on there and a gun rack. that trans am is actuly done ncely. id drive it! it looks like it was built with some thought put into it. it doenst look like ****, and im sure it does whats its made for. hell for all we know that trans am could have been in perfect shape....or the frame could have been rotted out and he wanted to bring back the TA in somekind of life form. or maybe he just loves f bodys so much that he wants to take it EVERYWHERE....im sorry but, I LIKE IT!

 

for those that wanted more info on the jacked white trans am

www.texasta.com is the guys website.

 

THAT THING IS BLOODY AWESOME!!!!!!!!

i would drive that any day of the week, any thirdgen looks good to me BESIDES THE ONES RAPED BYE UNCLE BEN'S INSTANT RICE

 

hell i think its cool.its alot better than what REVLIMIT did to his poor camaro

 

I would say SBlackfoot is right and that looks a heck of a lot like a Hotwheels car

Note: I am missing the pivoting gun from the back, damn.

 

more...

 

lastly...

 

When you take the hatch of Thirdgens, you esentially have a shortbed El Camino. I hate seeing cars turned into monster trucks with the exception of the Fiero Jalapeno 4 x 4 and VW beetles. I have seen beetles turned into just about everything. I like offroading in VW dune buggies with the fat sand tires or a Sandrail.

 

I think other than the paint it would be cool. I'd drive the hell out of it. I'm sure people would get out of your way.

 

It would be... interesting to drive. Think about it? You'd be able to go all over, but instead of sitting up in your seat like in a truck, you'd be low to the floor. It'd be like offroading blind. Heh.

I have pictures of that trans-am on a disposable camera that i keep in my car, i saw it Austin while i was living up there.Hey Zimmstoy i believe i saw this thing off of Parmer. I will try to see if the camera pics will develop and get someone to scan them for me, my pics were from much closer.

 

O2sk8, wow that is quite the resemblance. I still like it, although I too am not sure about the paint. It does have a nice look.

 

yup, right off parmer

 

i have a parts car in my back yard that i despise, hehehehe wonder what it would take to really jack that biotch in the sky?

 

How do they exactly do that? Blazer frame? I had the idea of making a thirdgen like a 4x4 with that frame and all. The thing is though put like our regular size tires on it and do the stuff to lower it. You could have all wheel drive Do you think the weight of the frame would make it not worth it? I know it could be done cause a friend of mine had a 4x4 truck and he used a different transfer case to make it all wheel drive I believe.

 

I really doubt you could get it down to a normal ride height. You'd need some kind of diff in the front end under the engine. That'd be tough to hide under a stock-looking f-body.

 

I'm trying to be diplomatic here, it's not what I would do, but not everyone understands what I do, either. I have my RS, which I love, and a Ford (yes, I said that) F-150 4x4, which I beat the wee out of :lala: Each has its purpose; one is nice and well cared for, the other is rusty, dented, used and abused (but mechanically maintained). I guess I just don't understand

 

I personally don't like the idea of a 4x4 thirdgen but think the idea of my camaro being 4wheel drive like some of the turbo porches is cool but not worth the time or money to invest in. I'm pretty sure if our cars could come with AWD we would all want it because we know it would make our cars that much more bad @ss when racing.

 

Yeah your have a point. I forgot all about that front axle. Only way I could think of clearance would be use a lt1 engine or intake and a nice size cowl hood to raise the engine a bit. That would be pretty getto though and not worth the hassle. Nice thing about a blazer frame though would be its a solid frame. Now you got me thinking since its a solid frame you could do a IRS.. Sorry tonight im just finishing up my lt1 intake project and in good mood. Now im full of ideas...

 

Adapting IRS to a Blazer frame would probably be tougher than hiding a diff under the front of an f-body. lol You'd need some kind of subframe for the lower arms, not to mention the driveline. I suppose the rear end could be lifted fron a 'vette or something, but then there's gearing to consider, plus it's not exactly an off-road rear end.

I was thinking more along the lines of stealing the front end from a 4wd S-series truck (like my lil Jimmy, or the S-10 Blazer) and getting the 4wd S-10 V8 oil pan to make some room. It'd still sit kinda high, and you'd probably have to scrap the torsion bar setup from the truck and use the struts from the car, but what the hell, it's an idea.

 

I saw a mustang on a 4x4 frame like this, they called it mudstang. I am headed down that way tomorrow, I will see if it is still there. Later

 

I think i see the point, his neighbourhood must be over run with imports!

Its called justice, its worth sacrificing 1 F body to crush 1000 hondas!
