Scott in Bellingham

who else ??? lets see what you have done, Im starting a new project and can go any dirrection at this point, would like stronger drivetrain and possibly just maybe lower gears, I can go 720 nissan Transfercase and some solid axles or maybe keep the front soobie parts and put a yota with a locker in the rear , I have the nissan case already and have a stock yota axle , so would I go 4 link or leaf springs and then what spring setup / I have a buddy thats into Sammis maybe check with him on the rear axle setup he has 4 link and coils in his with lots of flex

on EJ clearance theres not much in that oil pan, it could be modified to get a couple more inches

I like it too, I compared the stock Subaru rear diff to the 720 front diff they both have the same mounting and same driveline flange , so the 720 diff will bolt right into the soob with no mods to the mounts, also the 720 front axles are different lengths ones about 4" shorter then the other, also the hub to hub measurment on the 720 Nissan truck is around 5-6" narrower, so if I get a second long axle and put in on then both axles will be same length and it will bring the track out close to the soob track width, so looks like I need to pull apart a sooob rear arm and a nissan front hub arm and see if it fits if not then make a custom arm with the truck bearing holder hooked to the soob arm , if this all works out I will have a stronger rear drive system and unlocking rear hubs and 6 bolt hubs with big disc brakes heres a pic I found its like the one on the left

starting a new offroader build this is what I have decided so far EA82 sedan EJ 2.2 ( either carbed or FI) now heres the questions what should I do for the drive train?? I know what stock will do , seen to many brocken stub shafts and rear axles maybe legacy parts are stronger ?? maybe not? maybe go some kind of truck rear axle or even front IFS setup in rear ? what works and what would you do? I like the lightness and nimbleness of the car stuff but its got its week points which Im ready to live without, I have some parts got a couple Transfercases, got a Datsun 720 pickup dont realy want to just drop the body onto a truck frame would likre to keep it light and car like , not heavy and truck like, also the tires dont need to be that big maybe 31" at the most what would you do? and whats been done and works?? thanks SJR

heres mine, simple and am looking to do it again in my next car

on the SJR adapter plate it has 2 tabs for this purpose uses stock EA82 engine bracket , or if no tabs use a EJ 5 speed trans bracket , pitchbar will need custom fit length
