I don't think you understand what rust is...? Look at my EA81 and then talk to me HAHA! Wheels look good though. "Swampdokey" Do I dare ask?

Also, this is in fact everything I need in a Weber swap, correct? Its listed as a DGEV, but I want to make sure that it has Electric choke. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Subaru-1976-1989-1600-1800-OHV-EA71-81-Weber-Carb-Kit-/330700425369?fits=Make:Subaru&hash=item4cff480899&item=330700425369&pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr#ht_3551wt_958

Can I get the gasket between the Intake and the Carb base?

Yes, it is a SHO. Big Yamaha motor in there.

Proline basket - $10 ebay/towerhobbies.

Looks like the 1954 P-400

Nice score! Chrome too.. That is a real tight fit with out the lift, very close to the front rocker corner. 2" lift will really help.

I bought it new a few years back from Towerhobbies. I had it forsale on here yesterday, but after being low balled twice, I took it off the market, and decided to modify it like I've always wanted to do.

I like the deep wheels he is running!

Must be wide open, front end is high and wheels are cambered. This is sporting an EJ20T, so its a rocket.

Played around with the Brat today, since I ran out of fluxcore wire. Changed the wheels/hubs, and am planning on making a rear tire carrier and bed rack. I also shorted up the rack for the roof. Here is what I accomplished on the rear car today! Better shot of how well the rockers came out!

I kinda wish my dash had the Analog Clock vs the Digi one. Looks cool!!

Back to pictures!! White EA81s always look awesome. I really like these decals!

Nice start! Perfect dash as well! Can't wait till I get my '83 going. Cheers, -Tom

Rear bumper is simple, but nice. Less is more perhaps.

I think this is the most I've torn into one of my vehicles. I successfully welded in a rocker! Kinda felt good to have that work out

Wheel Backspacing and Offset Before mounting a set of aftermarket wheels, there are some dynamics involved with fitment that are best to understand first. 1. Wheel Diameter. This is the diameter of the wheel. Stock wheels are commonly 15 or 16 inch diameter. This dimension is usually in 1 increments (i.e. 15, 16, 17) but some manufacturers offer 16.5, which is rare. 2. Wheel Width. This is the width of the wheel, measured inside the outer lip of the wheel. This dimension is usually in 1/2 increments (i.e. 7.5, 8) 3. Wheel Center. This is the center of the wheel in relation to the width. 4. Offset. The distance from the centerline of the wheel to the face of the mounting surface of the wheel that contacts the hub. 4.1 Zero Offset. Indicates the mounting surface is at the wheel center. 4.2. Negative Offset. Indicates the mounting surface is behind (or inboard) the centerline of the rim. This is often found on standard rear-wheel-drive vehicles and on so-called reversed rims. (Diagram below shows negative offset) 4.3 Positive Offset. Indicates the mounting surface is in front of (or outboard) the centerline of the rim. This is often found on front-wheel-drive vehicles. Stock Tacoma wheels have Positive offset. 5. Backspacing. The distance from the mounting surface to the inside lip of the wheel. This measurement is closely related to offset (without actually measuring, backspacing is about equal to [Wheel Width / 2] + [Offset] + [about 1/4] ). 6. Centerbore. The centerbore of a wheel is the size of the machined hole on the back of the wheel that centers the wheel properly on the hub of the car. This hole is machined to exactly match the hub so the wheels are precisely positioned, minimizing the chance of a vibration. This measurement may be critical to clear the hubs of a 4WD. 7. Bolt Circle. Also known as PCD (Pattern Circle Diameter). The bolt circle represents the diameter of an imaginary circle that goes through the center of the bolt holes. 4x2 Tacoma Bolt Circle: 5 lug on 4.5 PCD; 4x4/Prerunner Tacoma Bolt Circle: 6 lug on 5.5 PCD.

Did anyone actually read this thread? This guy bought 15x10 U.S wheels. http://www.subarubrat.com/6lugconv.htm

If you want, I can take some pics of how the pugs compare front to rear, clearance(s) If I remember right the front and rear are pretty much the same.

LMAO! Yeah, I don't think you would die in the Bathtube (Although Whitney did) Moab is a crazy place!

It'll be pretty much the same.

Probably about a 8 or 8.5" wide tire. The center bore of the Toyota wheels is also large enough. Personally, these wheels look better with a 33x10.5 or 33x12.5 tire, 35x12.5 FTW!

Sounds like some serious gearing, is that the T-case or the tranny wine? Wilcox, you want to see something even more scary? Look up Hells Gate Moab.
