I had a great time, and the Saturday afternoon ride in the trails was the Highlight, got to meet a bunch of great guys , looking forward to meeting up again maybe all the Whatcom and Skagit County guys could get together and organize some offroad activities I had a blast and will do it again , even got to see a 03 OB squeeze threw some trees without a dent heres a picture http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/sjrwa/detail?.dir=/272a&.dnm=e001.jpg&.src=ph Scott

on a 4" BYB lift kit ,on the rear the shocks our lifted 4", how much lift is on the diff and the rear suspension cross pipe on a EA82 thanks Scott

I was hoping to pre book a Hotel anyone know whats down there? thank you SJR

Count me in 88 Lifted GL wife and our little Girl .

whats the length and diameter of bolt?

I think that bolt would be a 10mm x 1.25 thread -100mm, I can check.and yes they are hard to find,they our out there you wont have to have one made, if no luck I can get you one SJR

looks like the end of August any other takers?

I will try to make it , look for the red lifted 88GL SJR

I will be staying in a Hotel or Motel on friday evening who else is ? and wheres a good spot to stay near the show? not to expensive , will have my 88 lifted GL Wagon and family Scott

how about us guys from Bellingham / Mt. Vernon ?, maybe meet in Mt Vernon mid morning I will be driving my 88 GL lifted wagon , we could start a new thread for that area or pm me Scott

I built a offroad buggy from a 76 Datsun pickup it was striped of body and mid engine ,it was 2 wheel drive with stock auto transmision , befor I built it I thought wow I wish this was a stick instead of a auto trans. well we got it done put some oversize tires on it , it went awesome even took it to the sand dunes, if it was me and I had a automatic subie I would lift it and put some tires on it I wouldnt go any bigger the 26-27" on the tires , its somewhat under powered but that also saves you from braking stuff , I would definatly do it if my wife was excited about it ,the autos neet cause you just have a "GO" petal and a "STOP" petal , and running offroad its simpler , some of the serious offroad rigs have automatics, you might consider a added trans oil cooler if it builds up to much heat, keep us informed on your progress. SJR

Cool SJR

the car is a 88 GL I am asking for the 84-95 wagon dual range 5 speed

how do I get lower gears in the front transaxle diff what ratios are avalible ? Scott

We have been thinking about hitting the Dunes in Sandlake (Near Tillimook) Oregon not sure the Date After the July Meet sometime , I would be taking my 88 Wagon and the family, probably stay over night at Pacific city on hwy 101 or maybe at the dunes Sandlake is on the Ocean you can drive on the Beach for over 1 mile, theres plenty of challenging Hills last time we went took my Sandrail powered by a Suzuki swift , have even took a modified Geo metro, looking for others who would like to take there Sewbies out in the sand its always nice to have others with you for support especially out in the dunes Scott,

I do Custom Subaru Stuff SJR

While we our on the subject of super swamper I am looking to buy a set , Questions the different choices Bias ply , Radial, TSL, SX etc. whats the best for offroad? whats the advantage or disadvantage of each style? thanks SJR

Just got mine on the road its a 88 GL with 6" SJR lift prototype I started this project earlier this year and can finally drive it, its exciting, has 6" SJR lift 215/75-15 snow tires 6 bolt yota rims http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showphoto.php?photo=5940&size=big&sort=1&cat=all&page=1

on the rear diff what can be done ? can it be tilted for greater ground clearance on the front near the u-joint , I understand there is a problem with oil , what works how far can you tilt it ,what modifications can be done to overcome this thanks SJR

yes that the place

this is in reference to the angle of diff correct? now saw if I wanted to angle the diff for clearance is there any modifications you could make , maybe running more oil? maybe replacing the front bearing with a sealed unit?, maybe some how setting up a oiler to feed that front bearing? now this is all under the asumption that its the front bearing that will give am I right? thanks all SJR

this is all good thanks and keep up the talk, now on the back how far can you angle the diff from stock (lower rear or diff,leaving front of diff up)and still have it preform, bearings etc. last

so on the kit(byb) there is 1`` suspension lift , on your mods 1.5`` is max suspension lift and both tend to eat axles ,do tire size eat more axle of not

85-94 wagon
