Indrid cold

ahhhh.... bonding with the Subaru... it warms the cockles:grin:

Don't want your message too go unanswered I feel your pain....the dry side of the mountains is kind of thin pickins for Subee gatherings as we seem so spread out. Kind of sucks not having others to run and tinker with... this site helps but nothing beats running in a pack. In early summer I may be heading over too Lewiston.. but not set yet... Possibly offer free gas and hang pork chops around your neck and maybe they will come and play..... I am going to print a copy of the pending Hoodriver Or. gathering and see if I can post it at my local Subaru dealer/parts counter... possibly find some that way. Wish I was closer.....:-\ Good luck, I know there out there, you just have too keep looking!

pics...pics...pics.... WE'S don't read so's good... we needs dem pics!

Manual tranny? Push it. Yea.. possibly starter, crossed leads? Battery in wrong? Blown main fuse? Hmmm... I am still learning here but just some thoughts. If manual tranny does it roll smoothly when in neutral.. ie not bound at clutch plate and flywheel?

Hey, usuall post on the older Subaru section but possibly more info here on this topic. I am building a roof rack, want too put some lights on it. Cheap.... I was looking at some lights... I want rectangle, approx: 2" tall x 4" long, found some on the internet... a bit pricy. I can find fog lights that are just right, cheap and look alright. But not sure if the light pattern, intensity etc.. is the same. 55 watt. Blue cover... figure I would put 3 across the top. This is more on road then off road rig, but would like too flip a switch and have a light boost. I have an 88 dl, 4 head light front, but would like to add some extra Luminares too the road. So are these fog lights worth the money for alittle show or no go?

Ditto as above: Sweet wagon...very clean... X-lent road trip pics..... (Subaru in repose) Is there no place they can't go? *your spreading the road trip bug!

I like the fact you building your own rack...oportunity to challenge yourself creativitly and work with the hands! That is a stout rack with 1" pipe. Not sure if weight is too big of a factor at 42" long but new too building racks for Subaru's myself as just started my first ever. I am currently building one for my 88dl wagon. I am using 1x1x .065 wall square tubing. I have main frame welded, lots of features still too go it is almost full length 65" of wagon so I am trying to watch every bit of weight I can as it all adds up on such a large roof rack so my idea is always evolving as I put it together. I think I will be about 6" deep as I see yours is...but not that far yet. I got pictures, but it is of steel all over the floor and parts and pieces so not much help here but I would like too see pic's when your done and total on weight and cost. Good luck.

Thx, E-mail sent.

Hey, scratched some funds together...bought steel making Safari rack with front light bar.... how deep should I make the basket? Sat tire on top of car, figure 2" clearance under and leaning toward about 6" deep from bottom to upper rail? Seen some in mag for jeeps, look shallower... some deeper... just plan on putting usual up top, tire, tent, tarp shovel... what ever... don't want it to come out looking like a shopping cart deep (Dorky) nor shallow (Whats that good for?)... Putting on my 88 wagon, dl, any suggestions on depth? Thanks in advance. (come on guys... building it as we speak... any thoughts.. Will check in morn before I start cutting final dimensions..)

Quote:..... take the old one out (bearing) and grind down the side a bit so it slides easily in the houseing and make that in to a tool to tap in the new bearings. .... ...................... I like that idea... cleaver....

Got that from someone on the site regarding packing greese in housing. Probably still floating around but basicly, 1/3rd full is just right.

Do a search on this as lots of info. However; I am sure others will gladly spill forth needed info. One thing I did find out after I did mine and found this site was that to fill resevoir (wheel bearing housing) with about 1/3rd full of greese. More is not better. Make sure you pack your new bearings before installing. Never strike on inner race when installing etc... I will let the pro's take over Good luck.

Not sure where too put this. Looking for driver of Grey Brat. Had enough time too mention this site before light changed.... Once you join send me a message through this site.

Nice...very nice looking wagon... love the tinted winders, sharp tires, crisp...baby... crisp sorry can't help with ?.

Thanks Pappy for the photo attachment of tool in action. ahhhhh... a picture is worth a thousand words.. "doh".... Even if a person can go by feel... I like the scratch built stuff. If nothing more then too "Stick it too the man." and able to build it yourself. Quick, simple, may have to add one to my tool box.

I'm with him.... I am still scratching my head on the part of ....How does it work? I love the homemade end of it... have done belts once... torque? I just kind of went with..... seems to be right.... Picture of it in action? Thanks,

Nice... lots of details in there....

Not sure where to post this but I knew I had too. Short as I could make it: ad in paper, Broke but thought, what the heck.. drove over, 86 Subee dl, wagon, carb. Manual, awd. 250k Owner: makes horrible noise, sell for $300. Interior exlent. Exterior exlent. No rust, nice tires...exhaust old. #3 plug..laying next to the hole:slobber: hence the horrible noise Oil fill covered with sock:lol: oil over engine, noted some coolent under... hmmmm. *little devil pops on left shoulder.. angel on right... do I tell them about plug..don't do it.. do it.. / I told them bout the plug,... gave him the low-down on the rest... and the end that I am broke till next friday... and $100 is all I could go.... he said he doesn't have time to work on it... it's mine if no one goes higher and he will call me for a chance to out bid... I havn't told the wife... & crossing fingers.... we will see.

On the beach, Subaru in Repose. Sweet.

$100.... nice..... Guy down the street was selling something close (bad turbo) & wanted $500. I got him down too $300. but still too much.... I mean there 20 years old... you know... $100. is the magic number... or free... that is where I set my limit..$100. they got to be premo to go for more then that.... NICE....... now... go bond!

From what I have heard on older cars (older then about 95) you can fill the tanks right up to the flapper which I do... just throattle the pump nozzle by hand, ... on newer cars you shouldn't do that... I have no Idea why, just heard that on a car show, something about revents that get flooded and no longer work and it messes with the sensors.... blaa..blaa..bla.. also: "Where's my two gallons?" you wouldn't happen to be punning the paper-boy from the movie, "Better off dead."?

I also got this from another post and thought it was clever: Take Latex/Nitrile glove. Snip off just the end of each finger, push plug wires through and plug into distributer (4-plugs, 1-coil wire) then pull glove down over cap and zip tie close at base also zip tie each finger end.

I tell my wife I will be out side, "Bonding with the Subaru." which means something broke and I get to go out and figure it out which isn't a bad thing cause I learn something every time I bond with the roo! Glad to hear it was something simple.

'06 Baja..... were not worthy..... were not worthy.....
