A 4x4 E30... Done right!

[e30nut]

God, I fucking hate this car so much I actually like it. I just can't come to terms with this build. If your goal is to get a reaction, mission accomplished sir.

Have fun with the rest of the build.

Just read the whole thread - very neat!

My first thought was weight - a unibody car is already frame/body, then mounted atop a fully boxed steel frame, mega heavy. What do you suppose the total weight would be?

33x10.50 would be a nice tire size. Tall but not dorky wide.

If you actually plan on running it off-road, I would definitly plan on some basic armor. Other than front/rear, side/rocker protection would be a must - don't wanna bang up the e30 body!

Being into 80s BMW and Jeep/offroad myself - this is very neat! I'm also partial to IH and would have personally probably kept the old boat anchor but keeping it I6 is sweet too!

no this needs at least 38's on it. 33's are for tiny Toyotas

Dude, theirs doesn't even compare. Keep building...

The adapters might give enough clearance for the hubs, which would let you mount pretty much any BMW rim in a five lug, but you'd have to pull the rims to get to the hubs, unless it was something with a center cap and a large enough opening to get to the hub, probably be easier to find something bmw-esque in a 5x5.5.

If he used an axle from a fulltime 4wd Dodge there would be no lockout hubs to worry about. the dana 44 could be converted to that setup but most people didnt like cruising around in 4x4 all day

Oh crap.. I didnt know hes switching it over to 8 lug with a diesel now. damn

What's the status here? I know this is a big project, and it's easy for life to get in the way, but I would hate to see a project like this get so far only to lay unfinished in the driveway.

[mattdk318i]
