  1. Of course there are no pictures anymore. You have to remember how many times USMB forum has been revamped over the years.
  2. From a few yrs ago... https://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/22732-t-case-lift-faq-transfer-case-questions-answers/ Search some build threads from members above link - you may find what you need to know.
  3. So, the forward lower links maintain the toe-in in vertical compression travel & lengthening them causes toe-out in compression? Makes sense that a shorter arm would cause a smaller toe change moving in a shorter arc of angle.

    LED light bars

    Almost two years later and people are still adding to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hilp25Yfwj8 Think we're getting off the off-road lighting theme & dwelling on bad on-road driving manners. I've been blinded by inconsiderate oncoming vehicles too. Morons playing their "music" cranked up too loud driving past my house while I'm trying to sleep in So Cal was/is a huge pissoff for me. So are the fart-can exhaust systems. Hope they go deaf at an early age. Yet another good reason to live in a quiet rural area.
  5. +1. Had to replace sender on my 87 GL a few yrs ago for same reason.

    LED light bars

    Fellow drivers aren't the only thing in the roadways at twilight dawn or dusk nor late at night. I have had a couple near misses with bighorn sheep, elk & deer up in Troy MT area that made up my mind to add a light bar. Needed it driving thru ID along hwy 28 from Salmon ID to I-15. Pronghorn like to cross in herds there. BTW, LED light bar on my roof is curved to illuminate road sides. Road sides where the unexpected animals are. One elk cow is enough to cream a little Subie let alone a full size truck. 3 of 'em last time that happened. Added air horns too. Need those more often to get cell phone obsessed idiots to pull their heads out of their a$$es. Converted my 87 GL to 4 headlights some time ago. At first outers were 8000K HIDs but that didn't last long in So Cal with CHPs. Changed to LED outers but these are a single horizontal row of LEDs top with 2 LEDS more lit in center vertical on low beam. Made sure to aim them lower. Inner pair are halogen tied together with my halogen fog lights just below bumper, on a separate dash switch, an OEM foglight switch. I can drive at night with just halogens this way.

    Just don't drive in front of me after I get the 80 W CO2 laser installed...12 kV power supply functions as antitheft deterrent too

  9. alexbuoy, You mentioned you wanted to mount your Toyota 31 inch tires on your Brat while I was there Saturday. You may want to rethink going that tall a tire because you've already snapped one rear axle stub with smaller tires. Larger the tire the higher the reverse torque has to be overcome when you land after getting airborne. Of course if you air down to 10-15 psi it could help alot. Just a suggestion. czny

  12. Was it oxy-hydrogen plasma spray they used for buildup? Or electron beam deposition? Inquired about this 2nd method locally 2 yrs ago but they stated they wouldn't do it because of DOT regs & insurance liabilities. If for an off-road vehicle they might have done the work, only maybe tho.
  13. Nice score on those spaz cutters Dan. Where's your shield cup for the torch? Get a moisture filter for your air supply if you don't have one already.
  14. That coolant leak also poisons the cat converter & O2 sensor later on causing emission testing failures. I know that one from experience.
  15. That's fine Bennie. Nissan 720 4x4 PUs had 3.90, 4.11 & 4.37 ratios. 1984-88 Nissan 200SX had 4.11s. Was lucky to find one locally. Ring gear bolts are 10 mm in these early R180s so 12 mm bushings are needed to adapt to 2005 wrx sti LSDs. Check out hybridz forum. Edit: IIRC '82-'85 Nissan Maxima may have had R180 diff also
  16. If this is an SPFI EA82, did you remember to put the screw back in the rotor? Check the button in center of disty cap sticks out some & has spring to it so it contacts center of rotor.
  17. Working on a couple others again first. Then to the GL EJ swap. May think about later on rear suspension swap similar to your project in Off Road. But with a R180 4.11 diff & 2005 WRX STi LSD, axles & hubs. Likewise front suspension improvements too.
  18. Good. Will stick with 94 ej22 heads I've already got, Cometic hybrid gaskets(same ones you & I searched for a few years ago Dan) & "99 EJ25D lower end with the dished pistons. It's that same '96 harness w/o EGR you stripped for me yrs ago. '96 OBD2 Calif. donor vehicle. How's your Brother printer doing? '97 cams & rockers with Delta 200 grind per their recommendation.
  19. Yup, torque gets things moving whereas horsepower sustains speed. It wasn't that long ago, 2017, that GD posted in a similar thread for Frankenmotor builds that used EJ22 cyl heads.
  20. GD, Without changing pistons in a '99 EJ25D block, because its already been refreshed, would 2002-2003 EJ25D SOHC head would work with that block? No problems with piston crown shape & valve layout? Which cyl head gasket would you recommend? Also 642, or thicker? Yes, I get the idea about squish. Still want to run with Delta 200 grind cams if possible with mechanical rockers, all from 97 ej22. EJ22 heads were chosen in yrs before these newer choices were readily available in self-serve yards in So Cal. EJ22 heads were the ones of choice in older threads as recent as 2017. Already have stripped down '96 ej22 harness, SOHC intake, crank & cam sprockets, ECM. Thanks.
  21. Without changing pistons in a '99 EJ25D block, as in the above pic, would you say 2002-2003 EJ25D SOHC head would be a good choice & which cyl head gasket would you recommend? EJ22 heads were chosen in yrs before these newer choices were readily available in self-serve yards in So Cal. Still want to run with Delta 200 grind cams if possible. From Matt's Compression Ratio Calc, the combo would be about 10.04.
  22. '99 EJ25D Lego OB block EJ22 cyl head with Cometic gasket '94 EJ22 cyl head, Delta 200 grind cams('97 mechanical rockers + cams), '99 EJ25D Cometic PN tag
  23. Until you can get 4 tires all same size, tread, etc, put the 185's on RH side & 175's on LH to see if it follows crown of the road better on black ice & snow road conditions. Being that you're in McCammon ID just S of Pocatello I can imagine that's what you're driving in at times. Until the plow gets there that is. Thanksgiving day & Friday after 2018 was spent driving from Troy MT to Tonasket WA(250 mi ea way) by way of WA20 over two 5000+ ft passes covered in crunchy snow & black ice, mostly in 4Hi. When things got loose in back I just turned front wheels slightly to plow the other way. But all 4 tires on my 87 GL are of same size, etc. with LSD in rear. Sherman Pass(5300ft) was closed just after I got thru on that Friday, as I learned at Beaver Lodge. Near white-out conditions with freezing fog in places. Fun, fun, fun.
