PHATBRAT

They used to have one for the beds but it didn't go up the sides. They also made a hard cover that DID go up the sides, I THINK Mick has one or at least the article. I found a BRAT the other day in Audobon NJ that has snaps all the way up so it looks like someone has tried this already. I didn't get a chance to talk to the guy though. He's actually closer to EJ. He's got two baja light mounted to front bumper and the BRAT has some rust but it's better than some I have seen. Majic auto repair on the white horse pike in Audobon. EJ, You listening????

We need a guinea pig....Unless someone here can find a local shop that will fab some up fairly cheap. I am still looking for something closer.

That would be a great get together, but I don't know if you want me in charge, I can be a great help but if I am in charge, My wife will find a way to mess it all up. It would be nice to hit some mud if everyone was there though.....Boz

I just found a pretty nice XT6 for sale today. Guy wants 130 but for me.........800. Anyone in or near jersey that is interested let me know. Boz

No I won't make it to PA for this. I used to live near there (Bloomsburg area). I will try to make it to PB though. For those of us on the east coast, here's a thought. I had mentioned this once or twice before (Same time I thought up meeting at Carlisle) but just keep it in the back of your minds. Every year in Bloomsburg, PA they have the 4 wheel and offroad jamboree summer nationals (Gets big magazine attention). I personally wanted to lift my BRAT and have a nice paint job etc to bring to this to cruise around. I think it would be great for anyone with a lifted sube just to turn some heads, make people wonder, plus you get to see the nicest of the nicest trucks, competitions, party, see naked chicks etc..... I believe it's in June. We already missed this year but maybe next year. What do you guys think???? Boz

Reason is because I am looking into underdrive pulleys for my 4wd turbo sedan and this guy says he can make them but needs a car to be the "testbed". Please let me know. I don't ever remember anyone else looking into this and it may get us a few more horses. Anyone have any comments, thoughts, ideas about this? Boz

The tranny mod is made by Jerry. A.K.A Bratsrus. If you post a new thread that reads ATTN Jerry or ATTN BRATSRUS you will get him. As for the Legacy 5 stud swap, check in the USRM, I think it's in there. I can't say for sure because I have never looked in there but that would be my guess unless there is a link that says MODS or something. Boz

How much do you want to pay? I got it from a buddy of mine a while back (3 yrs?). He bought it for his hatch then never installed it. He sold his hatch a long time ago. I shoulda bought it, it was nice (and slightly modified ) Boz

Hey wagon78, Was it you that I am thinking of? Were you around back then? And did you post a question regarding this?

Just do a Legacy 5 stud modification and get yourself some really cool wheels. They have deals where you can get the wheel and tire packages and even better, Now you can pay monthly. I saw it in a magazine the other day. I was looking at some wheels that I would love to see on my 4wd turbo sedan. They were like 80 bucks a month! Boz

BRAT hitches bolt to the unibody. You could always custom fab a bumper to allow for a larger hitch and a stronger bumper. I don't think you would have a problem with a small boat even full of water. The BRATs have great low end torque. If you did have a problem, throw that bad boy in 4 low and be done with it. I don't see any problem with that. This subject came up about two or three years ago. Same scenario. Boz

CC can be added fairly easily, actually, I have a genuine subaru cruise control with everything needed still in the box. Five speeds can be added easily with the help of Jerry's modification kit. I think it's like 100 bucks. I have heard many great things about it. If you are gonna go turbo, then I suggest finding a turbo motor, don't forget to grab the ECU (BRAIN). You don't want to just add a turbo to a NA car because of the compression and like I said earlier the eecu. bOZ

Hey QMAN, NICE AVATAR!!! (Don't take that the wrong way)

A Subaru???

Hey STUPIDRU, If you see Jeff or Gary from W and L Subaru tell them Boz said hi and I will swing in next time I am up that way. Boz

The turbos on Subarus hold up pretty well. I don't hear of them breaking like I do on dodge/chrysler products. If you are planning on doing some off roading with your BRAT then I DO NOT recommend a turbo engine. You will be better off with a fuel injected or weberized turbo. If you plan on making it a "pavement pounder" then shoot for the turbo engine, 5spd, legacy 5 lug swap, and some larger wheels. Just some suggestions.....Good Luck! Boz

Where the heck would you keep all the water? If you are talkin about dumping it into an exhaust then you would have to have alot of it and keep on re filling it. Doesn't sound very feasible. Plus you have the added weight. Boz

Got it all figured out. Thanks to HOCREST and some info from SKIP. You can delete this post now if you would like, Boz

Soobme, I believe I sent it to you. Did you ever get it? If not I can either resend it or send it to Caleb.Thanks, Boz

LeakingOil???? Ha Ha Ha That's pretty good. What part of Pa are you from, Your Bio doesn't say but I know that Kost is up in the area where I am from. (Bloomsburg area) Boz

I've got an 87 4wd turbo sedan. (I don't have a damn engine hoist though and I have no friends ) Engine is out. I have everything I NEED except for some hoses and a job so I can't buy any right now. I will need some help whenever I get around to it. I do have the FSM though. Boz

Xpert, If/when you do this let me know. I would like to do the same thing if I can get a chance to get one. Boz

13 inch meaty tires? This is what you will look like after looking for them Anyway, I recommend if you want to keep them 13 inch get yourself some studded snow tires. Boz

Ooooh, That looks like a good time!!!!
