Most people just use a small floor jack with whatever adapter needed(wood block) to reach the diff and crossmember. Tools; Standard stuff 8mm,10mm,12mm,14mm,17mm,19mm sockets and wrenches. Screwdrivers(one or two slotted and phillips) spare fuses, belts, hoses. water/antifreeze. Axle socket 3/16" pin punch Extra stuff I carry a folding shovel, folding saw, rain coat, 2 tow straps along with my winch. On-board welding equip., Tool bag with way more tools then I need.(better to have and not need than to need and not have) One of the most important things to have is a first aid kit. We have been lucky as not to have had any major injuries. A few cuts and bruises are always going to happen. Bottom line is take what you absolutely feel you need and whatever you think you can comfortably carry in your rig. Remember one thing, everything you add weighs something and it adds up after a while. Weight is not the friend of the Subaru.

Hey Dante, depending on what you have in mind I can probably hook you up. I built mine and they have stood up to the test of time and abuse. Give me a call and we'll talk about it. Ken

I sent you a PM the other day did you get it? Correction, I thought I sent you a PM. I will send another.

The viscous LSD is the rear diff for AWD cars. Started with the Legacy I believe. They came in 3.90, 4.11, 4.44. The VLSD is more of a speed type(fluid) rather than a LSD which is a clutch type and is more of an off the line type.

You have mail.

King, might note that only the turbo 5sp's are 3.70 ratio. Not a better tranny for anything but highway driving. For rally or offroad the 3.90 is the prefered tranny.

We weren't sure where base was gonna be. It depended on road conditions. We made it up the hill and it looked like the road was only getting worse. So we pulled up to the gravel hill and set up. I may have to get my radio rechecked also. I didn't have it retuned since changing from the Hatch to the Brat. There will be more runs, I hope.

I'm hoping that is a typo. Maybe should have read ...are good? lol

Why don't you just take the whole thing? Motor is a piece of cake. two bolts for motor mounts. 4 bolts to tranny. 4 bolts to exhaust. Unplug two main harness plugs. Disconnect the coil connection. Unhook the radiator hoses and pull the radiator. Disconnect fuel lines and vacuum from carbon canister and vaccuum line on passenger side of car. Pull motor out with a couple of people or a cherry picker. This should take no more then a couple of hours. Less if you are feeling energenic. If you want the trans too, you will just need to remove the crossmember now. The trans will come out after removing the driveline, speedo cable and electrical connection.

Ooooh Mike, I had my radio on all day and didn't hear ya', sorry. Glad you made it up though. We ended up at the gravel hill above the pits.

Oh, I forgot one small detail of the drive out. We came out of the woods and hit the highway. Just got it up to speed(55) and what do you think should happen? No, not that. A small herd of Roosevelt Elk decide that they are going to cross the highway in front of and behind me. This was a big herd. The cows were in the 3-400 lbs range. Managed to shut it down in time and not cause a huge multi vehicle wreck so all was good. Though I bet Rob will remember to do his hood pins from now on.

Try contact cleaner on the plugs and connection at the sender itself. Probably just corroded connections if the rest of the dash works.

Ditto.

What a great time! It was good to see everyone that came. Many, many Subaru's and a few others that joined us as well. Snow was good. Weather cleared up just as we got to the camp. What a blast to see the looks from people we went past and that came and stopped to watch us play. We had a few tense times though. Donny definitely learned how to(or not to) drive the "new to him" RX. The now infamous ice corner almost claimed another one. Donny managed to bring it to a stop a foot or two from the edge and the big Dodge pulled him back to the road. But other than that only a few tugs had to be given today. Special thanks to Chris(Tex) and his girlfriend for staying at camp to watch over the stuff. I would like to thank everyone who attended. You all made this a trip to remember. The hardcore award has to go to Amanda. Not only did she drive back from Wyoming but she met us before she made it back home. My pics

That's the only way I do it. Others have oversized the hole and used a standard bolt.

If the flanges are welded or fixed on the exhaust pipe then chances are it's stock. If you check the y-pipe and see that it loks to be pieced together it has probably been replaced. That was the way most exhaust shops reattached the catalytic converters. Miles, yes, the other holes do get used by the adapter for the ASV and the turbo cross over pipe. They are not used by the stock y-pipe.

The holes are the same distance and size. But only if you are using an exhaust that has been custom made with loose flanges. They won't work for the stock Y-pipe because the flanges are fixed. If it breaks you can drill out the bolt and use a heli-coil kit.

But you will be dealing with the 3.70 ratio diffs.

The rear disc assy's will/won't work. It's hard to explain but the 5 bolt hub from the 2wd XT6 won't work on your 4WD. Besides, unless you want to do the complete 5 lug swap you'll have two different styled hubs on your car. What you want is a Turbo GL10 or XT Turbo with 4WD.

The purpose of the covers is to keep debris out of the belts and tensioners. They should only be opened when doing the belts and waterpump. Just my opinion.

Shawn and Tex, the 4dr model exsisted through 1988. Then they were Fulltime 4WD GL10's.

I hope that FWD stands for FourWheelDrive. That is one of the requirements. I do not want to spend my day digging a 2wd car out of a parking lot. Or waiting for one.

Matt, do not plan on empty seats. This is a family outing and most if not all seats will be filled. I know mine will be. I have to take two cars to get everyone up there.

My guess would be that you either cracked one of the thermal switches or a vacuum line. Everything is probably getting a little hard and brittle. Check all the connections and vacuum lines as described above as well.
