one eye

I'll be there. I'll ask will and Todd but I don't think Todd'll make it, I talked to him last, but I'll call Will right now. Maybe all of us north guys can meetup and all cruise down together. Jeff

That was a pretty good guess!

It is just past Monroe, and Sultan I think that it is really in Startup. It takes about an hour and fifteen min. to get there from my house which is right off College Way, That's if you go highway 9.

I can't say I won't break anything, But I'll try not to. I'm going to bring an extra rear axle, and misc. parts that have been a problem area in the past. What day would work the best for everyone? I don't care what day it is. Maybe a sunday? I only say Sunday because Woody is working 6-10s Mon-Sat at his work right now. If sunday doesn't work he just might have to miss out. Jeff

Does anyone want to meet up and go for a Mud run? I think Reiter Pit or if somebody has a special place to go it would be fun. I kinda wanna go wheeling, but I don't want to go by myself. And I havn't seen alot of the Subaru guys in a while. hope to here from some people. Jeff

I'm going to steer clear of Walker for a while. I have the worst luck there, and they are in the process of removing the gravel pit. That last time I went up there I think was my last. Big rocks and my car do not get along. But Reiter pit would be fun. I went down there about 3 years ago, it seems like zap was saying there are hard trails and not so hard trails. My rigs are just not the ultimate Wheeling machines, as much as I want them to be they are not. I don't want to take it somewhere where its going to break. Then I have a weeks worth of work replacing the broken parts. So I'll play it cool and not go places I know will totally tear my car apart. Jeff

The doors are all good, but it is just below the doors where things get real rusty. once you get to the bottom where you can jack the car up it's good again. It's just below the doors.

I have an '86 hatch that still needs a lift, but I think I might do a gen 3 next. It'll probably just be a 4" just like this, except for I might try and find a less rusty car .This blue wagon has no rocker panels and there are a few soft spots here and there. But I figure i'll use it for wheelin', no since in smash up a nice "solid' subaru right.

I would like to go up to reiter pit, I'm sure if I go Scott would not want to go because I'll probably break something and it'll be over in the first 40 min. Thats the way the last 2 trips we've gone on have ended up. But I would like to run up there some weekend soon. I might be able to get todd to come down too. Woody and Will would probably like to come as well. They are both lfted. Jeff

here are a couple more pics of it out of the shop

I did figure it out, I did have a broken motor mount and I fixed it. I think I broke it way back when we went to evens creek and I just 2 months ago changed it out. I used old axles from todds and some I just rebuit. The only thing that it would do to the axle was pop the iner joint keeper ring off ,that was from it getting pulled to far out. On the rear I just shatter the outside bells, I don't know if thats just because they are old or what. I never broke a rear axle untill I welded the rear end up so those two factors combined might be the perfect combo for a broken rear CV axle. Jeff

I know. There's not much I can say for the axles except for, They brake... alot . Next lifted Subaru for me will be a gen 3. I have broke 20 cv alxes on my Brat 18 fronts and 2 rears. They are the weak link in gen 2s. Jeff

are your wheels a silver color and your car is a white gen 3?

I think that they are a Toyota wheel.

yes, Scott in Bellingham made the strut blocks for me but other than that its all done right in that shop. Its just a 4" but I cut the fenders a little to fit some 30x9.50x15s on it. I also just tonight put disc brakes on the rear, hope that helps

There she is. Ugly as ever, I have one more shock to go on the right rear but other wise thats it.

This is the 83 gl10 wagon Just one right rear shock to go and she's all done.

This is my Brat This is my buddy Woodys Brat, its been down for about two years but its coming back.

I know there are a few guys around this area that have lifted Subarus, like scott, Rollie and andy. Of course there is our crew in skagit Co. as well, most of the guys have kinda got out of it or their car is kinda outa it. Ithink there are only 3 or 4 of us left. anyways, I was wondering if there are very many other lifted subies around. It would be good to maybe all meet up and do something. Iknow that lots of people don't like to go wheeling a long ways from home but no matter where I go I for the most part end up breaking something but thats all part of the fun. By the way my name is Jeff I have and 82 Brat w/ a 4" lift. I live in downtown Mt. Vernon WA and I Also have an 83 gl10 4" lifted wagon, I'm just now finishing up on. I'll put pics up in a bit.

Have you done anything with that thing yet. I'm looking forward to seeing that bad boy run. (the one in the shop that is) Jeff

Well I'm glad to say that once again my Brat was the big let down of the day. 13 min . into the run I broke a rear cv Axle and @ the 22nd min. in I tore the rear lift blocks out of the body. I think that, that may have well been the last run to Walker with the brat, I'm going to fix it but keep it for snow or mud, not walker rocks. They tend to kill my Brat. All said and done we we where out the gates of Walker Valley by 11:15 am. And my brat went home on a trailer from my work,witch is about 1 mile down the road luckly. Scott it was fun. but I'm sorry that it was short lived. Jeff

This doesn't look to be going over to well. Nobody is even posting anything about going. So it looks like Scott, My brother in law Chad, and i will be heading up there on August 18th. Thats the plan. Jeff

Tonight we are putting the lift on Chads car, I hope to have it finished by sunday night. I'l still need some shocks and misc. things but it'll be close. We will also be up there in the morning. Jeff

Wanting to see if anyone would like to go up Walker Valley and wheel around on an up coming Sat. or Sun. My Brat has been down for about the last 2 Years but I got her going again. lets go wheeling. If there are any doubts about it being open I work a 1/2 mile away from the place and its open. Jeff:banana:
