ECS light I don't know what it does, but the second it comes on things start not working right. Jeff

That's probably the first thing I should have done. I just gotta be careful and make sure I don't pull the misc. Jeff pearson wireing harness off. That would ruin my weekend. Jeff

What is it that causes your clock to start at 1:00 everytime you start the car. And now it started binking like its a timing light. The good news to this is I have learned that while I'm driving into work and I've left at 7:40am and I look at the "drive time clock" and I see that it says 1:25, that means I'm late .... again:-\ Jeff

That new trail is burley, if you don't play your cards right you can get a fair amount of body damage. I went with my buddy in his chopped hatch. I think it will be a heck on a brat or a wagon. So that's why i'm going to try. and no I don't have any pics yet. sorry. Jeff

Now that I got my Brat all done, I was wondering how long till the next time that a crew is going to reiter, or some where in the nw, to do some hardcore wheeling. I just got to put my front bumper on, hook the fan up right, and weld the rearend up. After that I'll be good to go. If no one is going to do anything else I'll set up a date to go up to walker valley to go on the new jeep trail. Just want to wheel. Jeff

I'll have them as soon as I can. Just got to wait for my buddy to take a pic . Jeff

I did have to do all that pounding and stuff. I built all my lift so it doesn't look that good like it your pic there but the strut bocks were by far the hardest part of all lots of grinding and fabin' were involved. I gave it the first test this weekend in a big ol' mud pit. Nothing fell off and the motor still runs so I think she's good to go. Jeff

I finally got my lift done. It's only a 4" but I can finally turn my front tires more than 1/60th of a turn. Plus It likes to wheel a whole heck of a lot better.I changed a whole bunch of stuff on it to. I went through and put new heads on, 2 cv axles clutch cable lift and little odds and ends. I'll get pics of it and show everyone soon. Jeff

That looks good .wow I wish mine looked like that. Jeff

I think a lot of the guys that I'm with are wanting to leave later that night (friday) Since they have to work but once everything is figured out just one good 'ol post would be sweet to see where every group is going to meet at. Jeff

tizzle i sent you a pm Jeff

I think I sent you a pm. Jeff

Hey zefy, If you want to you can meet up w/ us we're in Mt Vernon. Right off the free way you can roll with us if you want that way you won't be left out in the middle of nowhere if somthing were to happen. There is a sign on the freeway that says vancouver 86 miles or 137km, I don't know if that is right but I think its close, so It really isn't all that far. I'll pm you and let you know what we've got going on. Jeff

What have other people done with the lengthening of the steering shaft for a 6" lift we've ran it to a few problems:confused: . Jeff

They'll fit, like mcbrat said it'll take some cuttting. I got 30x9.5x15 on mine, can't turn worth a poo poo though. My wheels are 15x10 and the tires really mesure out to be 31s. Just keep that in mine. drive straight and you'll be fine, that's what I do.:-\ Jeff

I really didn't think about the different thermostats temps that would make a difference. That would have been kinda nice to know before I went on the trip. It scared me being 250miles away from home and see you car start to over heat in the middle of the desert. Thanks for the anwser. Jeff

This last weekend I drove over to the Tri-cities. On my way there it was hot 105. As I was driving I noticed that my BRAT wanted to over heat on the up hill climbs. I was running it hard but I've never had that happen before. Does that happen to everyone else? Jeff

Heck yeah we'll have a hell of a convoy. Where do you live at? Jeff

The Northern Alliance is planning to have quite a few come down, the following would be. ME, '82 brat my brother in law will be w/ me he'll have a ford. Woody '85 brat todd '82 brat not sure what else he might bring (?brown brat or battle wagon?) jake '8? hatch brian '85 wagon kluggie '8? hatch chris '83 wagon bradly '85 hatch pat possibly '8? wagon mark '8? hatch Cody '87 xt That's just the cars not to mention who their bringing. Im sure there are a few i'm missing and they'll hate me for it but those are the ones I could think of off the top 'o my head. But for me 2. Jeff

I going to be cruzing through on saturday again on my long venture to the tri-cities. If you guys get up early on saturday I'd like to meet up somewhere and see what you guys got going on. Carfreak85 told me to drop a line the next time I go through. So I did let me know. Jeff

Oh ok. The only reason I bring that gearing deal up is because I have heard the '82s have a different gearing. But i'm not 100% sure. W/ my old tranny at 70mph I would turn 4050k rpms with 185/80/13 tires. While my buddy w/ an 85 hatch turned 3000 rpm with 175/70/13. I even had bigger tire which would have lowerd my rpm. I think that makes since. Jeff

I'll give that a try, and see what happens. Jeff

What do you mean how many gears do I have? Jeff

That tranny must be out of something else cause it has hi & low ranges on it. If it did have the 3.7 and 3.9 and I was in 4 wheel drive would that do anything? Jeff

In my 82 Brat i have gone through 7 cv axles since nov. it's pissing me off good. What would make them keep going out. Their new and napa's so what could it be. I did change the tranny out of an 80 wagon into my 82 Brat. I was thinking the gearing from the 80 to the 82 could be screwing everything and making the whole deal bind. I'm gonna put the rear end from the 80 in it too and see if that'll help. Jeff
