:grin:Maybe!! I could see that. Probably just gonna do lift and throw on a set of Pugs for now. It's definitely on a budget, so I will replace any thing that needs to be replaced but everything else will be home made! I know I need a fuel filter and maybe some valve cover gaskets. But I still have to look it over some more. But it's in good shape and I got a decent deal for it

bump!

Thank you! Yeah, when I get it cleaned up, I will take better pics. But they are very small and going to be very easy to fix:banana: I really can't wait to get started on it!!

The clacking sounds like a cv axle, the tire chirp sounds like maybe you have an LSD and it is working very well! And the metal sound could be a tie rod or ball joint. Jack your car up and wiggle the front tires in all directions and see if you get any movement, then look to see where the movement is coming from. Also look at your rear diff and see if it says LSD on it. If not than there could be something wrong with the rear clutches in the tranny

Does anyone know if 2WD and 4WD front springs are the same? I know the struts are different lengths but I didn't know if the springs were different. Thanks

Is the brake dragging? Did you twist the piston in far enough?

loose axle nut? loose lug nuts?

Well you have to find a set you like and then get someone who will ship them to you! If I had a set, I would ship them for you, but I don't. But there has got to be someone who will!

the EA81 is gear driven internally. There is no chain or belts.

It's quite a bit! I really wouldn't file the calipers, you would actually need to take a grinder to them.

Sweet! Congrats on the great deal, and yeah, lets see that rust! What are your plans?

Cool, looks like fun! Where's your front bumper??

Looks pretty good! Not bad for a spray can. My only question is, what's with the overspray?? Guess it's all personal opinion but I would at least cover everything before painting. But looks like a real good rig, and sounds like you have a lot of fun with it!! Can't wait to see the winch on it!!

Here are some pics! They are not great, but there will be more to come. It still has 2WD front struts for now. I have to give it a good cleaning, and then put in a 2" lift and then throw on my 15" Pugs! So stay tuned!!

:lol:Amen!

Bad rear brakes????

No do not file the caliper, if you wanted to run them temporary that would be one thing, nut these won't work for a permanent solution because when you replace your front pads, you'll be s$%t out of luck!

We have been getting snow all winter! We have no room for any more, we got about 10" of fresh snow on the ground right now and it's still snowing. I broke the cable on the four wheeler plow twice this morning so far, my wife's car has a new crack across the windshield and my alternator died in mt RS so I have to jump it to move it to plow. I'm done with winter!!! I will try to post some pics later. Sorry for the rant

They will fit!!!! Just not with new pads. If you have new pads they will hit the brake caliper

yes make sure you have a dual range tranny! And let's see some pics of your rig!!

I can't remember how much they hit with new pads. but I know they do. I have run them before though and as long as your pads are at half life they fit fine

depends on the wheel but usually no. They might fit if your brake pads are not new. If you have new pads the wheels will hit the brake calipers

yeah that's not a bad idea! Nice car man!

Very nice!! Looks real clean, real good for 200!! So hows it run? I know you had to do some tranny work.

I haven't gotten it yet. My friend brought one to me tonight and it was the wrong plug,
