mcbrat Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 i dont believe spacers are needed the rims were matched to this build and i have no idea about the brat width I see you have both '85 axles... I have a wider '86 Axle in the rear, and an '85 in front with 2" spacers. makes 'em a tad wider in front... I'm running 17x9 wheels with 4" backspacing...

True2Blue Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share Posted June 26, 2011 (edited) i start school tomorrow i cant wait till im allowed to use the tube benders and welders... ill be doing some of my own fine tuning on the chassis to make everything as "tight" as possible without sacrificing strength and mobility. (like mod the cross-member) Dave says the subaru should be sittin about as high as it is on the blocks:grin: Ill be taking a second year at this school chassis modification Edited June 28, 2011 by True2Blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True2Blue Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 If you can't take valid, constructive criticism, why are you posting photos in a public forum on the internet? No one is bashing you, they are questioning the design of the crossmember and the quality of the welds. After a few weeks of welding classes at Wyotech, you will be able to do cleaner welds than your "pro fabricator". Just because you pay someone to do something, doesn't mean they are a professional. in this public fourm i asked for to keep the negative bs to a minimum. If a guy drops 10k into his rig the last thing he will wanna hear is ************ like "get your money back youve been f****d" or "nice shocks, thats about it though" i mean why even say anything at all how about leave the public fourm part for questions that pertain to the ride. not 'your s**t sucks' and id wait to criticize a design till its done.. in my eyes common sense isnt playin a factor in some of these guys lives. everyone also talks about how its gonna fail when i know they have never had a custom 4 link made to speak from experience.. anyways i can take criticism its just annoying when its repeated over and over after asking people to just watch and enjoy. some stupid f*** always has to say something regardless of what anyone has to say ill have it posted on my facebook for those that wanna follow the build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostbrat Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 those are long shocks!!! i found this thread last night, and think your doing a great job and is a great project that thinks outside the box. i put a brat on early bronco frame that fits 37"tires. wish i would have went with subframe and 4 links. i do have the James Duff rear 4 link though. i did notice y-pipe exhaust seems close to upper links,but picture may be deceiving me., could you post picture with tires so i can see completed stance:grin: i have 5 more brats in backyard so another monster is in my future. right now doing an ej22 swap and a complete stock rebuild to another brat. keep the posts coming and more once its completed,, dont let the haters bring you down... i sure most dont have enough forethought to think outside the boxer engine ,never mind a box !!!!!

Cyfun Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Just found this thread. Epic project, man. I'm very curious to see how this thing drives. Poor articulation and high gearing are the biggest problems when making an offroading Suub, and you've found the best way to combat them without resorting to go 'Merkan on it and just throw a Legacy body on a Bronco chassis. What I'm most curious about is how you mount your Toy hubs to the Suub, and whether you're gonna put your locking hubs on the front or the rear. I've always thought it'd be sweet to weld both diffs and have locking hubs on each wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True2Blue Posted July 16, 2011 Author Share Posted July 16, 2011 Ill be on a 'testing' phase for a bit. im gonna hub the front axle and put lockers (remote) in front and rear the only other change i can see happening is goin to 4.56 instead of 4.10 but ive heard that 4.10's arnt bad to im gonna try it before i bash it yanno.

Cyfun Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Sounds like a good plan. Can't hurt to try the 4.10s if they're already there. And the Toy's low range is a lot lower than the Suby's low, so that'll help immensely. What size tires are you gonna run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
