You can buy those "Limited Edition" chrome stick-on plates at Autozone and most any parts house. Subaru never made a "Limited edition" Brat, plus there are just gobs of mix-matched parts all over that rig... The hood vents remind me a cold air returns for a house.

Yes, that is standard for an EA82. '82 Yamaha Virago 920 runs the same plugs (Tid-bit a info)

*Cough* you also drive around in Milwaukee where cops seem more strict, out in Waukesha CO. nobody cares, TW10 is a moving violation as it sits anyway Lol!

Adjusting Valves tomorrow, I now have a feeler gauge (Which I haven't before) Hoping this will quiet the clatter... Heres hoping!

When is there going to be a "What Have You Done to you Toyota lately?" thread? I think we are in need on one in the "Non-Subaru Vehicles Section"

Figured out why the Valve train is so damn noisy on this POS, I need to do a Valve adjustment (Theres no hydraulics) only Pushrods. This sounds like a ***************, you have to adjust all the valve while the engine is hot. So I need to get everything off the top end (Vac lines, intake boot, ect.) take the Valve cover off and start adjusting (Turn motor so another set of valves close and do the same thing till they are all done) all before the engine cools. I have never Adjusted valves before, thank god my Dad has lol....

+1 on the side draft carbs!

Yeah, I think it was over that following sunday

Definitely an interesting read, Its sure coming along and is turning out great! I was shocked that the rear axles use a "U-Joint" set up Vs. a CVJ and DOJ. Keep up the good work! -Tom

Replaced the wires today along with rear shoes (I hate the drum setup on this rig) Subaru has a way better set up, I am also displeased with a lot of other things with this truck so far. Been debating on selling it for more then what I paid just to get back what I put in and wash my hands of this whole ordeal, stick with Subarus (You won't go wrong) Motor ticks like crazy and I have some insane pinging, working on it, thats all I can say.

I am not selling the Legacy now, I am going to Store the EA82 during winter (3 months or so) keep all of them on my insurance (See what that will cost) and drive the Legacy and LandCruiser during winter, come spring time, I will have all 3 at my house again. Jon, the Hitch is still yours (If you were wondering) I also need to talk to you about "Sto-age" talk to you Sunday unless ya PM me.

This is a pretty cool video: I love how much suspension travel these Landcruisers have stock.

Thanks, its in nice shape, just can't say that about the top end of the engine (yet) Pushrod or somethings making a lot of racket (Has gotten better with Seafoam) but still not to the point I would like, it also has what I think sounds like pre-ignition (Almost constant while under load) Maybe some seafoam down the brake booster will clear that up. Got a Valve cover gasket coming, gonna pull the cover and see whats up. I also have an NGK wire set and new Ceramic brakes coming tomorrow. Update: Greased all the fittings I could find, still need to grease the steering knuckles.

Continuation: 31x10.5x15 BFG Long Trail. 31x10.5x15 BFG All-Terrain Radial Interior all cleaned and reinstalled: 2nd Row Flipped Forward. 3rd Row Folded Up

Pictures finally! Since I spent all of Sunday changing all fluids (Oil, Trans, T-case, Diffs) I decided to start cleaning it up! Here are some pictures from today, Next up will be to do a chassis lube since everything has grease fittings (Even the Steering knuckles and yokes) then it will be getting Rancho RS5000 shocks and new BFG KM2s (33x10.5x15) I am also battling a tick/clatter (Sold Pushrods) no lifters at all, ran a whole pint of Seafoam and its made it a little less noisy, still need to figure this out, might have to pull the Valve cover and see whats up. On to the pictures: Driver Seats (1st, 2nd Row) Passenger Seats (1st, 2nd Row) 2nd Row Heater. 3rd Row Seating. Full Function Sun Roof.

Removed the entire interior today and cleaned and treated everything, seats, carpet, center console. Smells like new! Waiting to see if the interiors natural smells return now that its clean. I have pictures of everything, will upload tonight. Heres a teaser...

That indeed works! I know a guy who did that to his XT-6. I've been meaning to find those for my Loyale. Thanks Rob.

Land Cruiser Build Thread: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=125981

I just bought this '92 Land Cruiser friday with only 150,000 on the clock. I absolutely love this thing already, it sure made its impression in the first 60 miles I drove it home, Now comes the time to do a tune up, change all fluids, and start a resto/build thread, This truck is rust free as its from Missouri. Specs: 1992 Land Cruiser 80-Series 3F-E (3955 cc) Inline-6 EFI - 155hp - 220 ft-tq. 4-speed Automatic FullTime-4WD - Center Diff Lock. Full Front/Rear Offset Axles. 3-Link Front. 5-Link Rear. 31x10.5.15 3rd Row Seating. 4,760lbs Wet. I will update this thread with everything I do to this vehicle, if you've seen my other two Build threads, you'll understand how it works. -Tom

It gets better milage then that, I'm sure. Its a 20gal tank, I had it a little over half when I bought it, drove it home (60 miles) and its just a little under half now. Its a 3F-E Straight-6.

Note to self for future reference.

Yeah, right... No, I bought it straight up for $3,900 including Tax/title. This thing is sooo rock solid, no rust, runs great, has tons of power an torque, way better then the Legacy! This vehicle was from Missouri
