  2. Ill hold that check and Im glad the tranny worked

  3. I would make sure you have proper alignment caster and camber or you may wear out some tires , and unlock the rear diff
  4. it works on the VW Bug transaxle cause its all centered on the subaru its not centered , its opposite what you need
  5. send me a few pics will all the info it may make it in, also I want pictures offroad not in some store parking lot heres my email sjrwa@yahoo.com
  6. I am compiling files and pictures to compile a book on offroading Subarus, lookin for a few cars I can feature in the book, it will be a large format paperback book maybe up to 100 pages, not sure will have color and black and white pics and text, will go from stock to allout wheeler with pics and details of what to do and what works and why, when done I will sell the book , if you want your car featured in the book send me some high res JPEGS and text on the mods made with details of brands, models and sizes ,also sent a picture of yourself if you want that included also a story of your build if you want, I will choose a few but not all will make it into the book, if I choose yours I will email you , cars must be modified in someway to enhance offroad preformence, like lifted with tires minimun, this will not be a Rally book as Im not knowlegable in that area, it will tell how to lift, tire/wheel options, tranny options engine options , all geared toward building a offroad Subie more info to follow Scott
  7. 27 in tire max size with outback struts
  8. BW you have gone threw many of the same thoughts i and others have gone over, Ive seen the chain swaingarm idea on a sand buggy type rig, if you go that rount that could be your gear reduction with 2 different size sprockets, I wish I had a fully equipt machine shop with a couple workers that would do whatever job I gave them them I would build something like this but since I dont I figure take parts and components from whatever rigs and build a machine from that , what size tire you aimin for? that will determine gearing and how strong the parts will need to be, I picked up a Sand buggy magizine the other day and theres a place makin rear axles out of torshen bars that have flex, this takes the shock and prevents brakage, also they offer a axle with sheer bolts that brake instead of the drive parts, with that method if it brakes you replace the "butter bolts" and your back on the trail 4 min fix , Im lookin into doing that on some subaru axles and testing them out this summer , results to follow , the stock subbie drive train is good if you keep the car light, tire size small and baby it when you drive
  9. These guys sell a lift for your car www.sjrlift.com

  10. Had a few inquirers hears the detailed spec EJ2.2 adapter plate and redrilled EA82 flywheel EA82 4wd dual range tranny short driveshaft 720 Nissan devorced transfercase
  11. portal hubs would reverse the direction, could use old VW bus portals, this would also cause a built in lift for more clearence if wanted then the stock soob trans would work with no mods,
