Scott in Bellingham

yes still need to cut a bit at the rear tires fender area

What!!!

Im runin a weber on my EJ, no computer on this thing, has a ford escort disty

Ie been tryin to com up with a good name for my current offroad project, Im thinkin "IOD" for Improvised Offroad Device An improvised offroad device (IOD; also known as a lifted Subaru due to contemporary use) is a homemade Wheeler constructed and deployed in ways other than in conventional offroad action. One may be constructed of conventional Automobile parts , such as an stock subaru, attached to a set of mudder tires .

look at the end view if both planes are parrellel its not bent, and yes sometimes the letters end up deformed from the press

Id Wheel it

wouldnt bother me beatin up a Brat , if you guys want one go buy one

OOOOooo! do tell this is good

Walker anyone? Im going to take the 3Door on the next outin and I can do a friday its been to long

Im happy with ideas comin forth, hope to see some real vehicles in the future and get away from vertual web wheelin, want to see some real world creations and see how they preform , like the lightin a Hatch Idea, I mentioned tire size to make up for the limited axle strenth and no low gears,

Ok maybe we need to shed some weight and downsize to match the parts gearing and strength , 1/2 the weight and go with smaller tires ,

whats the final crawl ratio , axle strength with that tire size? Final crawl ratio ? final CR? overall Weight? Final Crawl Ratio? OK things I look for in a offroader are Weight...... Power....... Final Crawl Ratio Flex......... Traction, Tires and diffs Price these cars mentioned with the mods are nothing new, lets put our heads together and come up with a light weight low geared Cheep Offroad Toy , maybe take the engine and transaxle unit put it mid car turn it 90degrees and run the front axles off one axle and the rear axles off the other axle , basically use the front final drive as a transfercase , weld up the diff gears to get a true 4x4 , maybe even throw th car body away and build up a tube frame , come on guys start thinkin up stuff, dont copy the last 100s of lifted soobies , ok Ive leave for now Scott

I have a few questions, whats the strongest axles made for a subaru? , whats the lowest Crawl ratio you can acheive ,

So what would you build if you could only use parts from a Subaru, now the goal is to build a Offroad Wheeler , Ive seen to many threads of people building cars with other brand parts, then others jump in and say Its not a Subaru anymore so heres your challenge use only parts that have come on Subaru vehicles any year, any model , any combination of parts , what would you do ?? I dont want this to turn into a war , I would hope some good constructive ideas would come out of this , things we could apply onto future vehicles , the end vehicle may not be road legal or even look like a car, would be nice if it could carry 2 or more people

Brian we have less then 100 days till the BIG ONE

Eric come by this week lets get the white car going for your honey , Im at Disneyland today

please bring cash soon as its on the open market and will be sold to the first buyer with cash thank you Scott

sorry to correct you but the steering shaft is at a slope so its not as long as the lift, also on the 4" SJR lift the engine block is 3" tall , dont remember length but its extended less then 3" , also the swaybar shaft is a good size to use for the extension shaft material

my bad this is with FWD struts I didnt realise they were shorter

I have 235x75-15s on yota rims and they rub the front struts on a 87 EA82 , so it matter what tires your runnin, the older 85 adjustable struts seem to have more room
