  1. So, why haven't the prices gone down with more sales? It seems that if the engineering is paid for, the rest of it would be for the community. Just saying. There are 3 joints in the main pieces alone. Your pieces are demanding a fit and finish price. This is not a fit and finish product. Just because people can't do for themselves, Does not mean that they deserve to be taken. I am pretty sure you can buy every piece you welded together. Maybe not the flange. That is all.....

  3. Just like a jeep, in the back.. He keeps saying he wants to build a solid wheeler , but refuses to adhere to certain rules. lol Any one can build spoob fast.......... Build something that lasts Scott, I know you can!lol
  4. If you do not add a panhard bar you will end up ripping those shock mounts off. You WILL have side to side movement with those springs.
  5. In the offroad section at eh top there is an OFFROOD FAQ. Almost all the info on the net was put in there at one time. At least on LSD's lol
  6. yes, buy it.And If you don't end up using it, I'll buy it. I need another one.
  7. The Suzuki transfercase is ridiculously stout. I have seen a guy on 40's spin his tires and beat on one for over a year before it broke in half. It was geared at 6.5:1. Trust me, they are HIGHLY underrated by people. The hard part is, finding one for sale. lol If they are mounted right, they can last for a long long time. Oh, and FYI, the gears are about 500 a set. At least the last time I bought a set they were. cheers Oh, and you are over thinking it. Until you reach like 50:1 and below(numbers going up), it really is all the same. tens and thousands here are irrelevant......
  8. Your first gear ratio x diff ratio x t-case =crawl ratio That trans would be like, 3.59x 4.11 x 2.7(just an example)=39.83 The final drive ratio in our world correlates to the entire system, where as in a Toyota world it is simply from the diffs. The lower your first gear is , the better. Hence as to why you may have heard "Granny gear".
  9. A 2 incher is uber easy to make too........ Long time no see yo....
  10. The 34/34 from some old Fiats works pretty well, I did a 32/36 with an RAF custom manifold. I could not get the clutch to catch so didna ever drive it.But it ran GOOD. cheers
  11. There is probably a vacuum diagram under the hood. I would get it running and take it to Subaru for a coolant flush. They MAY not do it for you .But aS clean as that car is, I would give it a shot. That way you totally get the right coolant in there. And done by a tech. Or you could just let me trade it out of you. cheers
  12. I ended up making my own. the t case mount anyway. My buddy basically draws stuff on the fly,he is kinda really good that way. So I dunno if he kept the file or not. There is a website that has some free share files with a link on Pirate4x4 ,or an internet search ...... Umm.....there Is no divorced Toyota adapters anymore.So ,if you would. Private message me and tell me how you decide to go about that. Cheers By the way.if you are talking about the engine to trans adapter,that's a Bill Hincher special.And there is not a damn thing funny about it. Its flat out awesome:)
  13. I started assembling the engine yesterday afternoon.So far,New Waterpump, front seals and cleaned up the coolant tube.Got some plastic on her too. I will obviously be at the show this weekend.So I will get back to working on it next week.
  14. He is not setup for stuff like that.lol But I would be interested in a 4l80e adapter to an EJ car!
  15. You can actually cut the bottom inch out of that pumpkin and still clear the diff ring gear.It equates to about 2 tire sizes of clearance.
  16. I would say that it would be alot more work. BUT, if it is what you want to do, then do it. I would not try to run bigger than 31's though.Unless it had the awesome first gen rear axles. cheers
  17. Stock tires with aheavy foot nets me an average of 21-25. And we all know how I drive..... cheers
  18. I'm all messed up on Brakleen right now, so just like, nevermind....

  19. I started cleaning up the EJ18 I will be stabbing in there. I plan on putting it in all freshened up to get her running and driving. That way I can test out my suspension and make sure that my front axle does not hit the oil pan. I am thinking about keeping the entire harness for ease. That will be fun to put in. I have found a couple of hiccups in the tubing. Gotta get on fixing those. Bunch of little stuff left. haven't BEEN very motivated to do the dirty work..lol Still need to swap the shift fork around on the t-case, and seal it . I'll hit the parts store in the morning, and get some more brakleen. Then on to the cleaning.. cheers
  20. Samurai t-case.Tuck it up.Totally do-able because of flat nature.Uber strong case, light and semi available.
  21. Less talk more build. lol You have the capability to build something good. Now do it.....
  22. GLAD you found another body!!! Jeff should chime in here pretty quick . As for the axles. Just take them out and physically inspect them. After all, you have time. cheers
  23. We are trying to help you not make a fab mistake. We are not looking for Subie gearsets. .... Not saying it cannot be done. That's what your not hearing. It just isn't the proper route to go . This is from people that have thought about , drank about, read about a billion different offroad ideas. Oh yeah, We might build stuff too.........lol cheers
