Dale sent me some truly amazing photos of his boonie basher project. He used some off-brand parts and they didn't fit so good, but he was still able to build something you could use in the woods.
Ya, that was in Oregon back in 95. If anyone has access to Fourwheeler mag's old issues, it was in October of 95's Rear View Photo of the month. A 76 Dodge Colt wagon sitting on a 2WD S-10 rolling chassis. It took a couple weeks to transform, but MAN that thing would knock down some trees! I used scrap metal to weld the 2 together. It overheated regularly, but I didnt care. I only drove it to town once on a cruise night to have a little fun. I got pulled over once after that, the cop asked, "Is this thing a joke?"
Looks like a Dodge Colt wagon, and if so, that means it has a hemi in it, as the 2.0 liter, and 2.6 liter engines they used from Mitsubishi were hemi head motors. They even advertised them as "Mini Hemis" back then. (Well, Dodge did at least)
Ya, it had a 2 liter in it when I bought it, but knocked real bad. But, it was $150. A friend suggested using his S10 that had a beat up body. Then the surgery began.
