It's nice to see this level of customization and creativity for those of us that aren't capable or willing to do so. I likes it!

I could get Hankook MT's in that size!

You drive the freeway with those? The Scooby: What's your lift and don't you have an EJ in there?

I'd love MT's, but that is almost 28". Right now I can cruise on the freeway at 75 with pedal to spare, and I don't mind driving slower. Know of any good MT's in that size?

I got lazy too... zzz Better than taking off the skid plate and both pipes for something I'll never want back on. New lawn ornament: I'm also now thinking of going with 15's all around. That way I'll have more choices in tires if this ever become a serious wheeler. I just want under 27"s, so how 'bout a 205/70 or 75? Still looks like plenty o' meat for the light wheelin' I'll be doing. And I know they're not SSR's, but these look pretty decent: http://www.coopertire.com/html/products/tires_suv.aspx?page=discoverer_atr Old studded 205/75R15 from out back. Can you tell I park there often!?!

...better than blowing your dough at casinos!

You don't have to spray, but that will give you the smoothest paint job. Testors oil-based model paint comes in flat black and will go on nice and smooth, if you thin it. Used it for touch-up on yak racks before.

How many in the fleet now, Bill? Nice find!

Simple: http://www.sjrlift.com/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=3 Do a body lift for less stress on axles. Bigger tires alone will cause more stress.

Thanks for that, Bill. I have no choice but to drive to work tomorrow, so I'll take er easy...for now!

Well, I haven't had much time or money to work on the snail. Been spending a lot of both on a Ford. I did do a few things today, though, and best of all...didn't cost me a dime! Disconnected front sway bar on pass. side. I believe from searching around here, that will be same as fully removing it. I'll drive it like that to work for a while, before pulling the whole thing. Still have to do rear's. Finally got a good, used taillight on that I bought here on the board. Cleaned up both sides real well with WD-40, then alcohol. Dap gutter and flashing buytl caulk worked great for a reseal. It's gray, not black, but who's gonna see it!?! Slapped some stickers on. The Edelbrock is on the Ford, but I thought it funny to put on the soob. Hope to make some big progress here real soon, Eric

Still kinda spendy for a parts car. Personally, I'd rather see it live then die but...

The tranny would work, but not much else and it's kinda spendy for a parts car.

Bummer, how did you discover that? Looks like you've already started on the mods!

I'm currently building too, so my soob's not been offroad yet, but seems to be much cheaper fixes than any other 4x. Here's damage from our last run: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=95749

Read up on the EJ swap yet?

Welcome! Looks like you're pretty remote, quite a ways even from spokane. You'll like it here...friendly forum.

That bumper just doesn't look right...you should sell it to me!

Is this for offroad use only, or on and off? You wont be happy on the freeway with anything over 27". Post a build thread with ideas and lots of pics...we like pics! +1 for http://www.sjrlift.com

But...it's bright yellow and "high performance!" I only got it because it was recommended here on the board, but I trust ya GD. Will look for OEM soon.

Thanks for all the responses. I can notice no effect whatsoever when the dash light comes on, so I'll leave it be for now. There are no good wrecking yards in this area, so I'll have to keep that wiring in mind for next visit. Might it be easier to just disconnect the dash light. If the ecu could be affecting performance in some way though, I'll pull it at some point. Btw, my coil is now an accel superstock.

Guess it wont hurt just to try it...not like it's that hard to pull out.

'86 GL Wagon 4x: My ECU/computer is for a feedback hitachi, if that makes any difference. Does anyone know if it changes timing, or anything else besides the carb? With the weber I don't notice any changes now when the dash light comes on...it's just annoying. RED LIGHT MEANS SOMETHING WRONG is just stuck in my brain. Will the car even start and run without it? Thanks, Eric

Anytime, Scott. At least I've got some experience from the EJ swap we did on the monster.

That's just cruel, Jeff. Funny...but cruel !!!
