    Hey, just wanted to share some pics. Took my turbo'd wagon to a meet-n-greet in arkansas this weekend. Had a bunch of fun, and everyone loved going for a ride in my wagon lol. I think it has juuust a smidge more power than the stock 62hp :D

    Turbo had no problem eating up the rolling hills and putting through the trails. Only issue I had was one of the bolts holding my ball joint fell out, pivoted the spindle and ripped the inner cv joint out. Was a quick fix though--put two "unused" bolts in, cut the ripped boot off and and slid the cv back together. Definitely will visit there again!

    I also took the fender and exhaust pipe off--everyone was worried the front dump pipe was going to hit something and cause catastrophic damage--fine by me as the turbo sounded great with no pipe on it xD

    A couple hours south of me, but still able to get into the mountains a little.
    Looks like it was a good time.

    I'm getting flash backs to my buddy's 1986 All Trac wagon. Cool get together, looks like you found some (but hopefully not too much) trouble.

    You sure it was an all Trac? Those weren't released till '88

    Aside from giving the throat if the carb a solid coating in mud and my ball joint unbolting itself, it did pretty well! Everyone loved going for a ride in it as well~

    It was definitely an all trac, I think it may have been an 89 now that you said it.

    I'd imagine it would be fun to go in a ride for, I don't remember his curbing out at a super high weight honestly. It was a utility vehicle for him after he blew up his last Datsun Diesel.
