Scott in Bellingham

27" (215/75-15 ) works good 28-29" requires a little more trim and banging 16" rim hummm.... wondering the offset, you dont want to much , also if they are alloy you will need different studs and nuts, (costly) your welcome to come by on shop night thursday at 7:00 we can help , we get together just for the fun of it PM me with phone if interested SJR

looks good!! ...........bring on the dents!!

Ive been driving in 2wd low for a year now,no issues havent tried towing, SJR

to fit o the rear :the mud flaps will need to be removed , trim bottom corners and roll the whole edge about 1" , as you beat on the lip it will naturally want to roll under about 1", for the front it will require quiet a bit of beating at the rear where the body starts, the fender will also need trimmed , once all done show us a picture SJR

if you get a small winch also get a pulley (or block) so you can double the strength, also so you can pull around corners, I used my 8000 lb ramsey last time out, it wasnt for me but the guy with the brocken hub in the Isuzu trooper, I set up with bumper against a tree and used the pulley to get inline with him, we used all 80 ft of the cable, go bigger if you can, there will come a time when you will be glad you got the bigger one SJR

Good one Rob Im not disapointed, I would much rather se that machine of your in your hands having a blast with it on the trails, Its to tell the truth a relief your keeping it, even if i got it for a good deal, it would still require a day to go pick it up then the parts and labor to fix it then, I would still have way to many projects going and not get out and enjoy them as I should, I have this disorder of such I get excited and start new projects when the old projects are in no way of being finished or completed ,when you do get that beast going we need to plan a all out super subaru offroading event so all this web wheelin compitition can see some truth as the rubber hits the trails, :banana:SJR

Im still learning myself, it also may be different in the US ,

Im building something similar to this based on a legacy wagon componants , figure it should be strong enough ,will be extra light , will be running 31" tires ( yes had to move the struts up to clear ) only time will tell if the axles will hold up

has anyone broke an ea82 axle or legacy axle ?? , reason I ask is Im wanting to know the limits of these parts , the newer legacy/impreza stuff looks pretty tough , but are they??

thanks for sharing, thats the second time Ive seen that one , only one coment ... a locked rear diff makes all the difference

all ea81 or ??

any others to add to this list for the US????

Rollie Im looking at this for the silver car using a 4.44 in the rear with 27" swampers and little over stock in the front

96 Legacy Outback wagon AWD with Auto, what the diff ratio ??

also whats this "Offroad Obstacle course" will it be something for subarus??

does this mean I could put a Dual range setup into a legacey 5 speed AWD box ??

I have ran a Locked welded diff for over a year EA82 have had no issues at all with axles 27" tires Scott

:burnout: :-p sounds great , just looked at the ORV site looks like a nice place , it also stated: .. Access to Capital Forest with ORV, Horse & Hiking trails wondering about those ORV trails whats out there? keep us all posted Scott

still looking for more pictures of light 4x4 car based vehicles . got any??

my plans are to take a Legacy and use all the important stuff and the firewall with the vin number , and build up my own vehicle with lights and all and use the legacy title if done properly you could get it inspected and be issued a new title and license for the road, like a old car hot rod or kit car people do it all the time

Heres mine 87 GL 6" SJR lift 30 x 950 Kooks EJ 2.2

I run my diff at 1" slope front to back over stock had no issues in over a year

Drew up a rough drawing in CAD to get a idea what Im looking at this has all 4 doors identical, 92" wheelbase

no. just a little cleanup things seem to build up when your tearing cars apart making toys

I would use a EJ engine hooked to a Dual Range Transaxle , legacy running gear is strongest and good brakes with larger tires,
