Wondering the same... wtf would you be driving around on dry pavement in 4X for? Also. What the Hell are you guys doing driving around at 75 in 4X for? Save the 4X for when it's necessary.

You've come a long way. Used to be the same story, 'xcept you would be bragging about a jeep. lol cool. 2 full weeks till I can drive. . . :boohoo: :boohoo: :boohoo:

Buy Ken's pretty wagon. I'll drive it back East if you'll meet me in the US, pay gas, and buy me a ticket back to Seattle. Oh yeah, you'd have to wait a month. LOL

I've been to Wyoming, stayed in Star Valley for a weekend. That was the emptiest place I've ever been to. The Bonneville Salt Flats are more exciting than Wyonming. I know I'll never go there again if I have it my way. Did you know it's the coldest State in the Continental US? WCSS5 had at least one car from as far away as Indiana. 100 cars in all. . . or so.

My hatch has had a bad boot since I got the car months and months ago. I just keep adding grease. I've driven it to Portland 2 times, (300 mile rt) RallyX'd it, taken it thru Evans Creek, been to Retiers Pit 2 times, once to muddy Black Diamond, and drive it as a daily driver. I've had to replace the one on the other side 3 times cuz they keep going out. The old one now has a Duct tape boot on it. The make shift boot has lasted for weeks, the grease stays in the cup just fine. I'm not changing it till it makes lots of noise.

LSD or VLSD?? I had a VLSD that would do that sometimes. Other times it would make the other wheel turn the same direction.

Ken, you know that psychic thing we have some times? Well, I knew there would be a post saying SNOW!!! when I logged on. It's snowing hre in NS, although not sticking, so I KNOW there's snow in your area. Wanna know how sad I am that I can't take my girl up to Snoqualmie to play in the snow and laugh at all the scared REI types trying out their jeeps and isuzus in a few inches of white? ? ? At least 2 weeks till Ican drive. Here's something to make you feel better Caleb. "I once cried because I had no shoes, then I met a man with no feet." EZ

Cool enough. Licensing and emmissions are both just up the street from me. We can talk about it when John comes up. He's gonna stay the night when he gets here. You guys can call my garage a meeting spot if you need. Happy to know another lifted Soob is making its way into the Seattle area. More the merrier. Are you gonna offroad it or what? chairotsu@earthlink.net EZ

Something they're trying to throw together over on the NWnasioc board. I told them that if it was in WA and invlolved a RallyX, that I could promise at least 20 of us to sign up. What say? Leave your answer here, so we don't get us confused with the new guys. We can later post a link to this thread over there.

GOD I hate it when people talk that way about Bi-drive Recreational All-terrain Travels. . . Lower a honda, street an RX, OFFROAD a BRAT!!! But seriously. It is a nice Brat, but by no means the nicest ever. The silver one he took to the Rubicon was in better condition than this one. (except the one dent the silver one had that the dent guy said he'd fix for 3 bills) It's called gotta sell one to keep this one, see selling my turbo wagon or hatchback. And. . . it was bought for a reasonable price for its condition and location. I thnk this one would have gone for about 2 times as much on the Other Coast. Stu's was about comparable to this one. Seen it in person I have. http://usmb.net/gallery/zapar/kensnewone

I'm penciling you in for the xmas tree run. Wanna see those in person. A 215/75 should be about a 29 or so? Wagon's gonna look tough. As for redrilling the hubs. . . Ken runs the rear discs and redrilled his hubs. I'd say it's somewhat sturdy, we took it thru the Rubicon and then drove it 1000 miles to Eugene. No problems. Maybe shoot him an email or give him a call. I say that redrilling the rims would indeed screw with their good looks, 25 bucks or 125 bucks. Extra holes look kinda goofy in my book. (no offense to folks running that set up.) EZ

Thanks PK, we were worried. Glad to know you and your's are OK. Stay safe my friend.

Hard to tell, but are those BFG MT's? Gonna look sharp, you'll love the off set of the wheels.

I've got a buddy in Hawaii with a lifted hatch. . . Wonder what he knows?

I wonder if 15 inch wheels are as available? Cuz I tell ya, you get some of those here, and I'll buy 5 from you. Wanna Swamper a set for the hatch. Those Coopers just aren't cutting it. Car has to work way too hard in the mud.

After swampage, the carpet is memory. You can probably get away with cutting it at the bottom of the console so you can still have it look like you have carpet. Get a couple of big rubber truck matts for the floor. They'll cover most of it, and kill road noise really well. That's at least the cheap way to go, 20 bucks or so. I've done it that way in all of my offroaders. Bedliner if you have the money, gonna be the best solution. My neighbor across teh street has his entire jeep floor bedliner'd looks sweet. Good luck Eric

I've personally been on a hunt for wheels like that in the US for a reasonable price for about 5 years. No luck, no love. Got mine on a lucky find from someone who had them shipped from AU.

God wouldn't that be nice??

I happen to love the offset. Also love flinging rocks and mud and such.

You could always try the old way of comunication. 541-729-8490

Those fender liners are a good thing. They keep mud and such out of your door hinges. . . Put those suckers back on, you'll thank me later. . . Self tapping screws are good for holding them in place

That is on e COOL rump roast design!! Aweful spendy though. Try Speedy Wheel, they also make 4 on 140s for our old Subarus down in AU. As for white or black. . . Mine always end up brown. LOL http://community.webshots.com/photo/37919799/93020984ORimjo I won't even tell you what I paid, you guys would wanna kill me. Let's just say I got all 5 for less than the price of one, minus the shipping. . .

Anybody and everybody. You know where I live right? Galen and I have met before. . .

Noonish??

Maroon Doom. Take a look under your car. Soobme. I am this >l l< close to getting rid of the lsd set up and welding. Off road, the welded diffs rule, hands down. I do a LOT of city driving with my hatch, it's my daily driver. That's all that's slowed me from changing over. That and I'm too lazy to change the axle in and out all the time. I never can tell just when I want 4X, and I usually don't have 10 minutes to get it in. There's a big rockery in my buddy's yard, he lets me park on it when I go there. Would suck to have to install my axle every time I wanna play on it.
