  1. been shortened 6" under stock. also angled up at joint to produce more clearance . we really had a lot of fun with this one, took it to the sand dunes , went better in reverse on steep hills, I eventully put a top on it , finished the front and put alum sheet over the door holes and drove it on the road,
  2. SJRLIFT offers both 3-1/2" and 6" lift , both in stock axle angle or, High clearance , higher angle . for the EA82, working on the EA81 Check out site for details SJR
  3. if you could get the whole IFS set up out of a toy , maybe one someone has just removed doin a solid axle swap , I would go for it mount the whole thing in there as a unit , then you could have a locker and or locking hubs SJR
  4. if somebody will send me a adapter, or a weber , or maybe just a weber gasket I could make one for you and then I would have a pattern for anyone else that would want one SJR
  5. would this be for the back? I like the idea
  6. Thats Great , I love that statement, I can amagine then sitting there in the middle of the room, maybe using one as a chair, which model did you get and why? SJR
  7. my latest comp photothis one would require a T-case and front diff and front drive moved ahead , would have awesome aprouch angle and good weight distibution, just a idea
  8. is there any active Offroad Subaru Clubs out there? not just a 4x4 club with a few soobies but a group thats about all they do is Subaru. in active I mean have a good size group of members , hold regular sheduled events/outing/meetings, where a guy could go to get inolved with the sport, I have heard of the Hatch Patrol Club , is it active?
  9. The SSR 27x9.5r 15's are the ones I just ordered, I looked on line and they want a bunch for shipping, so I called around and ended up ordering them from the local Les Shwab, will be $115 each plus shipping, would of been $550 for a set from 4 Wheel Parts if ordered on line, I have no experince with the tire , wanted the radial as its my daily driver, I like the sidewall pattern on the SSR s , did have a question on rim width , I see they recomend 6.5 - 8.5 " wide rim what would be better a narrow or wide rim? , I have a set of 8" wide rims I was going to use just because I have them , any advice on rim with would be nice SJR
  10. this weelkend (oct 14-15) I will be up on Vancouver Island , the following Friday ( Oct 21 ) be nice to get together , should have the Swampers Mounted up by then SJR
  11. I have this setup on the back, its a turning Cutter brake works of the hydrolics, works ok , wish I had more leverage as it takes a lot of presure to stop that wheel in the air from spinin, I would like to do the same on the front as you mentioned, would be a simple install SJR
  12. I have a complete diesel moter and trans I pulled out of a VW Jetta had thoughts of putting moter into offroad ea82 , will the clutch disc enterchange or is the trans input shaft the same spline , ? , has anyone looked into this befor?, I can adapt the housing ok just wondered about conection between the 2 SJR
  13. Doesnt look like I will make it , wife will be singing at a store grand opening will be with her SJR
  14. Heres a shortened one I made in photo shop, if you do it keep us posted with pictures, I would use a mig welder with .030 wire shielded with 75/25 Argon/CO2 , make it as strong or stronger then stock and you will be ok SJR
  15. anyone ever run a locked/welded front diff and a open /stock rear diff??, I was talkin with a buddy at work who owns a toyota pickup with air lockers , he says he prefers to lock the front , not the back , says if he could only lock one end it would be the front , any experiance with this? , if so on a strictly trail rig you could weld up the front and put a LSD on rear, SJR
  16. Ha ha ha , is this normal stuff you usually carry , spare coils and alts funny SJR
