EA82 front end questions
chazmataz replied to paulpicard's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
your camber changes to more positive also causing this wear pattern. under hard acceleration your car lifts the front up and transfer your weight to the rear which in turn allows you to spin the tires(or burnout) easily, if you didn't have this weight transfer and all your weight stayed on the front you would be able to do this very easily if at all depending on your power output. -
Sunday May 21st CROOKED FINGER RUN (oregon)
chazmataz replied to Pooparu's topic in Meet n' Greet. Your USMB Welcome Center
cool, thanks. i will be at work as usual on saturday. yeah, that was an awesome place had some good times, definately have to do it again. hopefully some of the other board members will go next time too. -
yes. i've been to browns camp. good stuff some pretty hard stuff and some tame stuff. you can get a map of the area ( which i would suggest) that shows all the trails and difficulty rating and whitch ones are for bikes, quads and horses only but there are plenty of good class 2 trails too. if you are going to sandlake then i'm assuming that you know you need an atv permit. would love to come and join you but i think i have already planned something for that weekend. chaz

hey pooparu did you get your parts??? are things still on for monday???? let me know i'm still in, don't see anything at the moment to stop me got the 14" tires on and hopefully the LSD will go in saturday morning or sometime on sunday. -
i bought the same come-a-long about 3 months ago haven't used it yet but i was looking at getting a couple of different leghtens of their choker cables, i already have a couple of straps for the tree. i figured that if i had some distance to p[ull that it would have to be done in stages until i was unstuck enough to be able to go the rest of the way under power. there is a different company out there that has a hand winch but they aren't taking orders right now that i was also considering. this technigue wouldn't be any different then with a hi-lift jack (which i used to get a friends truck out of a ditch and back up on the road last winter using chains and trees, he was good and stuck) where you only move the vehicle about 3 ft. at a time. so if you are looking at getting a come-a-long i would look at least at these they are high quality and alot better then thoughs cheap stamped steel one from taiwan or where ever they come from those things get bound up and come apart or bend, i've seen it happen and if your lucky you might get one use out of them before there junk . hope this helps. chaz

Offroad run in NW Oregon this weekend 5/20
chazmataz replied to fastenova's topic in Meet n' Greet. Your USMB Welcome Center
not all the trails there are hardcore, there are some fairly tame ones. the map does show trail rating on it too. -
as far as i know there is no real difference in the loyale vs. the GL, other then they didn't come with adjustable struts and they didn't have the dual range 5 spd. axles aren't different other then spline count suppose to be different between a carb. soobie and a fuel injection soobie but my 86 carb. GL D/R 5spd. wagon takes the same axle as the 89 spfi S/R 5spd. DL wagon took. the catalogs that i deal with at work show only 2 different front axles from 85-92 or 93 and the only 1 kind for the rear for the same years. as far as the lift kits go all EA82 take the same no difference other then how high you want to go. i would get the 87 GL thats pretty low miles my 86 has 208,000 on it. well good luck on your decision.
-
thats cool and welcome to the board. so what kind and year soobie are you running???????????? stock soobies due pretty good offroad and with some kind of traction tire( like a snow tire thats rated for mud and snow) on it helps for traction too.
-
nice pics and video. nice to see more newer soobies getting dirty, now you need to get it lifted. thats some nice mud you guys have over there. i love the mud, sure glad its started raining here again.
-
awesome pictures . i love that kind of landscape (desert). someday i will have to make a trip down there and go wheelin with you guys. the hatch is looking good too.

Offroad run in NW Oregon this weekend 5/20
chazmataz replied to fastenova's topic in Meet n' Greet. Your USMB Welcome Center
thats a cool place to go, lots of hardcore trails. you need an ohv permit/sticker or you can get ticketed, they do patrol that place. took my lifted sooby there last year and had a blast beat the piss out of it, will be going again soon once i get it going again. -
