Scott in Bellingham

got the taco rear home, need to find a driveline next checked all the ones I have none fit

could go zuki but the front and rear inputs are centered so is the nissan, well anyway its just sheetmetel the passengers in the rear wont need that footroom anyway, plan to pickup the rearend tonight

Measured the Toyota tacoma rearend its 60-1/2" wide , looks like the subaru rear EA82 is 60" so Im going to get it, its a 4.10 ratio so that will work with the 4.11 up front and then I will be able to use same rims and tires front and rear and the datsun truck rearend was like only 55 " wide , so it keeps evolving, set the transfercase under the car , its a tall hummer, looks like I will be cuttting the tranny tunnel out and raise it up a few inches would like the t-case up another 6"

early legacy 4.11 I got 2 of them weld up one ?

Im designing a single 3" tube bumper, somethig we can start making for the masses, going to go look at a toyota tacoma rear axle see how wide it is may get it think its a 4.10

this should be cool

thanks Mick whats the story on the black jeep ?

its just sittin in the shop, you should go wheelin with us when you come over and also bring Gurus linkage

Jeff lets do it on the Tenth as I have somethinon the third I forgot about

it was in a wagon with dual range , yes side mount , I didnt know till I saw the flywheel with a smaller clutch and decided to install a bigger one but the crank bolt pattern was smaller , $200 sound fair ?

today EA81 engine ended up being a EA71 1600 so I went with this EA82 1800 diff under transaxle 2" forward and 8" down front, engine needs moter mount crossmember side veiw showing diff under stock trans were axles used to hookup

got the frontend bolted up ended up doing a 8" lift and brought forward 2" next install dual range and engine looks like EA81s going in , just have to swap out the fuel pump for a carb , going in today

I need to decide on a engine I have a running EA81 also a EA82 and could do the EJ2,2 , thinking I should put the EA81 in it and add a Weber what would you guys do?

a come-a-long over a truss in the shed will do

how bout next saturday?, Im itchin to go out again

go here www.sjrlift.com and make an order thanks

see any similarities

Progress or degress matters who you ask ignoring the back for now , will get the front mounted up with a engine and tranny thrown in, this frontend is from the silver car a built a few years ago Yes thats a rear diff stuffed in the front thats in the stuffed location

cleaned up the front and dropped the stock frontend parts, and mocked up the front diff crossmember from my old silver shorty looks like will aime at 7-1/2 in drop at the engine crossmember and bring it for ward 2" to help with tire clearence

body bolts are 12mm x 1.25 pitch

it clears even with the 31s stuffed all the way up, not much room for upper arms ., just might get some work done on it today , trying to decide if to stick with the subaru front end or solid axle it, leaning towards the suby stuff as I already have it and like the lite nimbleness , I guess if in the futre I wanted a solid axle up front I could always change it out , and i already have a nissan 720 t-case , its raining today good day to be in the shop

you coming by this week? or are you preppin for your big trip?

Ive wheeled a welded stock 3.9 subaru Diff for the last few years, the diff will hold up , Ive broke 3 stub shafts , ( thats the splined part sticking out the diff its hollow and thats the weak point ) ive brocken 2 rear axles and seen 1 other rear brake this is on a EA82 , 2 of the axles snapped the shaft in 2 and 1 the cup part gave out, and this is with a 27" tire, I would suggest go with a LSD , or weld it up and be prepared to fix axles and stub shafts on the trail, good luck

Hey Jeff been a while since weve been out want to go to walker next friday or saturday SJR

you will want a dual range tranny for that and if the diff ratio is 3.7 you will also need dirrerent front axles
