Version 2.0, Here We Go!

And we're back!  After a long hiatus, we are back to publishing online.  Only this time, it won't be about Ironman, triathlon or training.  It might be a little bit about those things, but it'll mostly be about new hobbies.

New hobbies will include motorized hobbies (which is really not a new hobby, but it has taken a new twist).  In part, this will be a blog of the "build" of the motorized hobbies.

The day we brought him home

Build 1: 2002 Toyota 4Runner Limited
Build 2: 1990 Porsche 911 C4 Turbo

The 4Runner will be built as an overlanding vehicle.  In short, a vehicle in which one can camp and live in.  With its off-road prowess (yes, it is 4wd), the aim is to enjoy the great outdoors off the beaten path.  The current vision is to build for primitive camping, or dispersed camping - camping away from established campgrounds where is running water and "facilities".  The starting point is a completely stock 4Runner.

The Porsche build will be for a street and track friendly vehicle. The starting point is a 1990 Porsche 911 C4 that has a 1991 3.3 turbo motor in the rear and turbo flares installed.
