They've been down for several weeks. I assume the project is dead.

Remember Teddy was leaving to Alaska? Perhaps that's why. He also had to get rid of his Tercels, that might also be a reason for the downfall of the Skiwagons project.

thats too bad, but what i assumed. I was thinking of putting in that lift kit though, anyone know where its avalable, as a kit or saprate components?

I wanted everything I saw there.. even though I was only able to see about 6 things lol

Yeah. I agree. That makes me angry. I lost a packet of pages of what they had that I printed out, and I was trying to find them, but I failed that mission!

I really want to see their suspension components again so I can get precise ideas of how to lift my Terk. I hate this. Can someone get Teddy to get their site running, if possible, and ASAP? Please, I beg someone to do this. Ask him to get back his Tercels so the project can be renewed. Thank you.

Funny you guys should mention it

The Toyota Ski Wagons site will be back up shortly, with actual PHOTOS and some plans (for free) and some tech articles and beta products.

Its true... I did move to Alaska, but the rest of the SkiWagons gang is still down in Seattle and Portland. I sold one of my wagons, but my "rolling test bed" is about to be revived. Cost of shipping/transport/fuel went up a LOT, recently.

The downed website is my fault... I jumped ship for a job offer, and had to move in a hurry... so, my connectivity ALSO was shut down, and I didn't forward any DNS.

Hi guys! I missed you!

I also tested some different cam profiles (away from my Ski Wagons partners) and determined: with the 3-AC, you can either have: some low end, or some midrange. Not both. And no such thing as high end, with the stock head.

Photos of my 7-AC (with radically worked over-head) will be cropped and put up as well.

Good to hear you are still around! I'm also glad to hear that skiwagons is still a go. Can't wait to see pics of your 7AC!!

Yes! I came here after the skiwagons site closed up and I was hoping for info, and now it looks like I am going to get some! Hopefully they will come up with more parts.

God bless you, Teddy, for getting Toyota Ski Wagons back up again!!!!!!!!!! Now I will be able to print that info out again and even see pictures I didn't!! If you or your partners see any more plans from Downey Off-Road Manufacturing on 3A-C engine exhaust headers, exhausts and Mikuni carburetors for that engine, please scan the plans and post them on the site. Thank you, Teddy! Forgive me, now, for being angry.

GOD BLESS YOU, TEDDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
