it's a vacuum actuated clutch pack....slippage happens....but it's hard on it, so it shouldn't be used on-road, or in RWD like a D/R.....and less-than-ideal for offroad, since it's not quite true 4WD

my '85 had one when I got it...but it leaked, so there was alwasy a puddle of oil behind it. so I just got a new electric sender and made the one in the dash work.... but yes, it can be done

not sure what the rules are on suspension. but I would say you'd want Outback suspension, or maybe aftermarket for the outback. a 5-speed, and a built EJ22 N/A, but I'm a little biased towards that combination

I hate to say it, but (at least in the pictures) it looked better before. and I like operose's idea about lengthening and 'rounding' off the bars. but I bet it's beefy! good work!

Austin...where was that? looks kinda like stubbs bay, but I can't tell

yep, look for the rotary rx, it sounds sweet, but I haven't heard anything about it in months

relax, both of you, IMHO, this is better placed in the new gen forum, but it's certainly more relavant here than offroad.

swapping in a tcase takes alot of fabrication, even on a true 4WD older gen soob but, the center diff is viscous, and quite so. so it's pretty hard to have one wheel spinning free (you have to be VERY stuck!) the biggest disadvantage is the lack of lo range. makes it hard to do steep hillclimbs and such. but the added low end torque of the EJ motor makes up for much of that. but yea, they make pretty good wheelers, check out what some other members have been doing with their EJ series cars

the one I've got looks more like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Dynomax-24222-Muffler-Thrush-Header-Glasspack-Red_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33636QQitemZ8038923218QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW I just measured the OD of the pipe I wanted to attach it to: 2" and then did a search on ebay for a glasspack, found the cheapest one with a 2" inlet, and bought it.

I would say legacy, more parts availability, unless you really want true 4wd instead of awd...

a short clip of me last summer at the crawl 4 the cure. That's stock exhaust with a thrush glasspack instead of the muffler http://www.mnchopshop.org/images/offroad/jul04_craw4cure/numbchux_attitute_alley.AVI

can you say spam!! check out his 8 posts....they've all got a link to a vender of somesort in them...

actually, there is a limit to how big you can go, the firewall is only a few inches behind the back of the front fender. McBrat put 30's on a 3" lifted brat, but had to bash the heck out of his firewall. My black wagon's got 29's and a 3" lift, and the fenders have been trimmed almost completely off. and they still rub on the framerails (which you don't want to be trimming) and mud doesn't mean anything for gearing, rev it up, and dump the clutch. get into some rack crawls, where you have to be more precise. you'll find yourself dragging the clutch everywhere.

you were the only one, then

I had one on my blue wagon (until it fell off.....don't use muffler clamps on a glasspack), and I've got 2 on my black one (previous owner). They're great, very nice sound, and not too much, especially if you've still got a cat. they sound alot better than the cheap cherry bomb glass packs! I don't think that's quite the right size. the one I bought for my blue wagon was 2" ID and fit perfect.

no, it's not in every single thread, but it's in about every third thread. and if sigs were enabled, it would be in virtually everyone's sigs.....but I'm not going to start ranting about that too.... the info's out there, it all depends on how much fender trimming you want to do.

ahhh....well....nevermind then.....I vote loyale with EG33

I'm sure it was deleted....not exactly a good idea to be posting on a public forum by how much you broke the law now is it?

the ER27 wasn't any more available in the loyale any more than the EJ22... neither was the EZ33 in the legacy.... find a legacy turbo

I'm sure we'll talk again before then, but if you don't get to it before my spring break (week of march 13), I can bring down an extra tranny xmember, and probably other stuff. I got so much with Morgan's wagon!

oh, I take it you moved... yea, raven's around, lots of people are doing the gm alt conversion these days. then again, many people are just putting an EJ motor in there, so the alt is stronger that way...

Keep that disty protected. I'm not sure if you've seen the video, but it's in my gallery, I went through the truck mud run at iron range offroad. flooded my disty. not the points, but the crank angle sensor underneath. no spark at all... and yea, a little dielectric grease on the plug wire ends, and some on the coil connections.... I've also seen people rotate the stock airbox up into the spare tire well, keeps it even more safe...

Well, I've only had this BYB rig for a week or so, and haven't had a chance to wheel it...yet, but in person, the rear suspension blocks make me nervous. but the three companies are pretty much identical. if you want to go 6", get an SJR kit. if 4" is enough (and it probably is). Then it pretty much comes down to price, and availability. CV life isn't effected almost at all by any kit offered. as long as you don't go nuts with the adjustable suspension. which you shouldn't, it just limits your travel. lots of good info in that FAQ...then hang around the offroad forum, and you'll pick up plenty. why does your profile say you're from wisconsin?

^^That is weird! I saw one here in Duluth last spring, only time I've ever seen anything other than GL's/DL's that wasn't a board member. It was a turbo, had the ground effects, but no wing. and it was black. AT, pushbutton

Read this page: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=24980 I too am wondering where you're at...I'm in Duluth with an Ozified lifted rig, and I've got an AA lifted rig (not running now) at my parent's place in the twin cities. I'd be more than happy to meet up with you and hash it out.
