I'm not sure yet. I'm pending total clutch meltdown possibly soon. Going to dig into it today and see if I can get some more adjustment out of it.

Not gonna lie i was pretty sure they didn't exist. Also these are rally tires. Pretty sure its a rare size. Also this.

Im down for wherever. Im going to just roll with One Eye and the others. As far as a timeline im pretty flexible but late July also sounds good to me. Will start collecting parts and doing some more finishing touches until then.

Back in the game!

Sorry Spine Of God I didn't really mean to point the finger at you and say you were bashing was just saying that in general to others who seem to like to antagonize on the forums or in person. Also Scott I have enjoyed your help and runs with you but it sounds like you may need to make the plunge into the Jeep or Toyota world. Or full SAS a Subaru if you want to keep that body style of rig. Its just pretty involved and for most people that's beyond their capabilities/funds. Hey even I would love to do that one day.

You know if we were truly worried about off road performance we would have moved on to jeep/Toyotas a while ago but we don't. You know why? Because its different. Maybe our brains aren't wired right or we are gluttons for punishment. But we enjoy being a little different, the crazy looks you get in the parking or on the trail are worth it. Yes we don't hit then most hare core trails but even those get boring when its easy. I totally enjoy it. You break things and you fix them and you get over it. Even toyotas and jeeps break sometimes, and i even own a toyota tacoma so totally nothing against them. Its just that some people used Subarus as a gateway into other means of doing it because thats what they had. We just happen to keep coming back to ours. A lot of people moved on because a Subaru no longer met their needs, I have no plan to discard mine until its good and broken. Even then i will probably get another. Run what you want and enjoy it but don't hate on us because you didn't like it anymore. We still do.

I think we can turn this around. I know people come and go and we have covered that. I think some more structure will help keep people not only informed but would help create a network of people who can help eachother, be it repairs, modifications or anything else. I have made some awesome friends in my short time in this group. My first wheeling trip was February 12th, 2011 and I'm not gonna lie I was really nervous and thought I was going to obliterate my car, and I kinda did haha. But with the help of Jeff, Rick, Josh and others we have had lots of fun. I have created friendships that will outlive our poor wheelers and will continue on reguardless of what our next projects are. I think wheeling is tons of fun and yeah you break some stuff, yeah you get mad and limp home and yeah you throw rocks left handed till you can beathe because your laughing so hard. Its all about having fun. I have had lots with my little 2" lifted car. It takes some learning to get it down but over its not that hard. So we don't take the hardest trails or cover the most ground in a day. The most fun is to just hit the trails and mud with your friends and make a day of if and just relax and laugh. I say oh well if we miss some trips and the group stays small for a while. I haven't even been to walker in like a year due to my car but ill be back soon. We will make new friends and we will get some more people pumped for it. I also say we keep the name. Its pretty good. We can just have branches for counties or regions. Also i dont want to peel my sticker off haha

The back end is done as of yesterday.

Here is the new NW Washington Offroad Channel. http://www.youtube.com/user/NWWASHINGTONOFFROAD

Not Much Has Changed In The Stable For This Year Will Update After Wagon Gets Tweaked 1985 GL Wagon 4WD 6" JAW Lift 235/75/15 Maxxis Bighorns on 15x8 Les Schwab Steels. 6 Lug Swap Weber etc..... 1983 Brat 4WD 4" Lift Holley etc...

Looks like it was pretty brutal up there. I'm bummed I missed all the action/devastation.

I only have experience with the Bighorns. I would say they would be overkill for a mostly street rig. They make a little noise as most mud terrains do. I would say the grabbers would be good. Dan, one of the guys we go wheeling with has a set of 235/75/15s and he keeps up with everyone else pretty well. They seem to be a good balance of street and off-road capability.

Looks really good! I most definitely can't wait to see this thing in person.

Hmm...don't think I can take my wagon up. Back tires are toast and I have a noisy axle. May be dedicated photographer if I can ride along. Hopefully will get my new tires soon. Then maybe Jeff can help me with a bigger lift.

Here are some of the better ones I took. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any pictures of me in the mud, and I was giving it all shes got. Oh well. I have high quality originals if people want them. Let me know.

My vote is on wheel bearing. Could be an axle but they usually click, not wop haha. Also check how tight your axle nut is.

1985 GL Wagon 4WD 2" JAW Lift, soon to be 6" hopefully. Weber etc..... 1983 Brat 4WD 4" Lift Holley etc...

I can guarantee that Les Schwab is not going to drill wheels for you.

15x6 is the wheel size. 15 inches tall by 6 inches wide. 6x5.5 is the lug pattern. 6 lugs by 5.5 inches or 139.7mm. It says 3.50 inches is the back spacing.

Your car would never look the same and we would probably have to tow you through stuff. I wouldn't risk it, you will just break a bunch of stuff and it will ruin the fun in it.

Also if you do a 2" lift you don't need to extend the steering shaft at all.

http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=119285 I stole this from one eye. Use this guide and you will have a super simple 2 inch lift, it is the same thing i have on mine. As for the rear, we just welded a 2 inch pipe extension to mine by cutting off the eye and then rewelding it all back together. You can also make some straps/blocks that drop the rear strut down.

Looks good, can't wait to get out and wheel with you guys.

Thats too bad i didn't know sooner, i just sent an 82 wagon to the crusher this week.
