This is interesting to me. We wheel out in Alaska and while I find the turbo 400 boring it is dependable and easy to manage while rock crawling and working through obstacles. I’m curious how this is going to perform off road.
Just found your site...I love Eichler too. In my case I took about a year off and my wife and I lived in a trailer while I designed and built a small post and beam home. Eventually I ran out of money and credit and then I went back to work while my wife supervised workers on site. Four years later when it was done I didn't want to see it anymore and sold it. Somebody got a great deal on a stunning little post and beam built with huge beams and with mortise and tenon joinery. I really appreciate the building, the design, the creativity it required, and I still consider it a major life achievement. But I am probably happier not being there.
Too real and I'm still trying to unload the baggage and severe strain that building this house has caused. At least you and your wife are still together after doing all of that, which is a major testament.
@@CornerBalanced Just to share a bit more...about once a year the house pops into my mind. It really was stunning - a new super-insulated timber frame hand-built to last for centuries. Then I think about how the money I sold it for was a great down payment on a house in an (overpriced) location which better matched my life. The timber frame was built where i could get property and build - I was a fish out of water. And I've accomplished a whole bunch of things since then, and been around people that I probably wouldn't have been if I'd stayed living in that more rural area (I'm a geeky computer guy, and apparently I thrive around similarly geeky nerds.) So my regrets disappear fast. All my relatives loved visiting me there, and they seem to miss it more than I do now. And, yeah, a house is important, but looking back I can see that being in the right place with the right people was far more important for me. Wish you the best in figuring out your future.
There's a video with a guy that has a NV4500 in his humvee, but it seems like it'll just make it a pain to lock the diffs since you need your foot on the brake to lock it up.
I'm doin the same thing! I though I was the only one !!
humvee and 993 at the new house must be so cool

Link to vid?
@@CornerBalanced This was quite some years ago, if I find it, I'll let you know
Any progress on the Humvee ?
Micha Wolfe has a manual humvee. Lots of heavy mods on hers
Do you still have the 993?
Yeah
Do you still have the Porsche? Would you build another 86?
Yes and no I would not build another 86
If you remove bump from inside and floor would be flat then it will be luxury
braketthrottle will be fun 😂
heel & toe
That's crazy man. Why make it a manual? You tryin to race homie?? 😂
I just think everything should be a manual, ALWAYS
@@CornerBalanced this is why we're friends
Didn’t someone say this mechanic was a hack?
