  4. kind of by default, this is such a narrow nitchmarket, when I started 3-1/2 years ago there was a few choices, you could buy a P/K BYB lift or you could buy a AA , so I came along as the new guy , well since then P/K has shut down , AA has started then stopped then started again , and I have kept expanding my product line and have switched from aluminum to steel , my goal is to keep you guys supplied with parts, Ive dedicated a lot of time and effort into this endevore, there reallly hasnt been alot of money made compared to time spent but Im looking to the future and trying to build up something up that will be a successful business for myself plus help people build ther dreams in their vehicle projects Scott (owner of SJR)

  10. sounds good, be nice to be on the trail with you Will , Jeff and I had a blast last time we went out he did quite well with that open diff wonder Soobie , Jeffs a great driver, Ill have my white car, may need extra clearence lights when were done , lets see some pictures of your car build as you go along,
  11. Ben you will need to trim and bash quite a bit , the gearing will lack with such big tires, I would recommend finding a set of 215/75-15 or 225/75-15 , should be able to find a used set easy enough , Im running 26" mud tires on my white wagon and they work fine and still have the lower gear wich comes in handy climbing hills zzz zzz zzz
  12. whats your Schedule on this ?where and what time are we meeting, If Robs car is ready and Wills Secret Weapon is a go I want to be there , is this a guys only or can Marlene and Alea come ?
  13. Ive seem many of them at this site just look around http://www.zukikrawlers.com/index.php
  14. heres one of the best outing I went on , I was the only Subaru click picture to watch the Video
  15. should I sent you a harness , will you chop it and mark it and send back??
  16. Jeff should I go to the wedding or the wheelin party, I might not be able to make both?
  17. Eric do you really want to do this? I think weve done this in the past, I enjoy the ride and feel of a subaru over a toyota pickup or any pickup , when you wish you had something else is when your stuck and cant go any further, thats when a toyota would surpass the soobie, now that said 5 years ago I had a 86 toyota extra cab with 31" tires , I loved the truck it looked awesome with chrome wheels and all , it cost me $3000, the most Ive ever paid for any vehicle, I sold it as it wouldnt hold 2 adults and a baby seat, it looked cool but was disapointing offroad, remember this was stock IFS with A/Ts , I like the lightness of the subaru and they feel stable, now the White 88 EA82 wagon I have with a locked rearend and yes a 2.2EJ and some mud tires preforms quite nicely offroad, it will haul my whole family and a bag of snacks , I know its not stock , I have taken stock Subarus offroad with road tires and they just dont go especialy in the mud, now if I wanted I could build up a nice Toyota but I really dont want one, 1 year ago I almost went Sammy , I looked at a few almost bought one but the guy couldnt find the title till I got home and then I decided not to , I like to take my girls with me and the enclosed car really works out well, now I feel the wheelbase on the Subaru is about right, Ive watched many a Sammy roll over on hill climbs on You-Tube , I know you didnt ask about the Sammy but Im throwing it out there , one of the biggest drawbacks of the subaru is Lack of low gears, well if you cut down your vehicles weight, keep the tires under 27" and have more power say a good EA81 or a EJ , yes throw out the EA82 engine then you have a OK offroader, good enough for what I want to do, I really have no desire to go rock crawling and yes I to know the limits of my machine and what it will of will not do and Im happy with that, your Toyaota will go places my car wont but at the end of the day we all end back home anyway, never really went anywhere Just went out to had fun and isnt that what wheelin is all about anyway?? I enjoy a chalenge and building and driving a vehicle to meet the chalenge , Ive been there when axles have broke , radius rods have bent , head gaskets have blown and lift blocks have failed all on a soobie, Ive gone out and watched a Jeep blow a front knuckle , also a Trooper blow a hub , also seen a few tires ripped, seen the steering go bad on a old land cruiser , anyway Im rambling Scott
