TOR Truggy Build

I say turbo electric diesel

I want a hybrid that runs on hope.

I think we'd have better luck making it run on political hot air

How about make it run on empty beer cans? Not that you need one, but it would give you an excuse to drink on the trail. LOL

If that were the case, then Randy would be the most valuable asset on the trail

LMAO... I'd be robbing homeless guys shopping carts before we hit the trail.

No reason to rob the poor bastards. I bet they'd trade a hundred empty beer cans for a full one

rotflmao... true

It would be pretty bitchin' to do rear engine(s) too, so we could put the front seats right up on the nose.

I like to see one that runs on the carcass of [ deleted for fear of a knock on my door ]. I know it would not run very well, but the whole countery would run much better!

I still like the dual 22R idea a ton

...because it's innovative, would have power, and is still classic Toyota truggy

And we have two spare engines..

That is the best part,

But in the long run I think getting 2 engines to work with 1 power train is gonna be tricky

 

[drew02a]

Maybe we could rig sprockets to the output shafts and get a stout ass chain like the ones in a transfer case to get power to the tranny

Especially when some custom part craps out on trail!

 

[drew02a]

I do have an extra transfer case in my garage that would mount up to an R series transmission

[drew02a]

would be way easier than coming up with a gear set and would be plenty strong

trying to get those engines to work together will pron do best in a (butt sucking) setup. we use to hook up compressor motors on chiller units like this, you just butt the rear of the front engine to the front of the rear one, we would need a custom adapter plate and a way to hook the crankshafts together. but then it would be like a in-line 8 only prob would be lenghth but way easer to get them to work tandom
