baccaruda Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 My brat has the low topper. I'd like to add seats to the bed eventually and the low topper leaves no headroom for anyone to use the seats. Does the high topper have enough headroom for passengers in the rear brat seats? I'd make the switch if it allowed headroom but otherwise it wouldn't matter to me. thanks! edit: figured i'd throw this one in: EA81 axles are not as long as EA82 axles, correct? what's the length difference? I'm thinking about my RX transmission ending up in my brat, and i could see an eEA82 spindle swap if the spindle fits in an EA81? or DIY custom axles if the halfshafts will interchange between EA81/EA82?

GeneralDisorder Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 EA82 axles are longer by a good couple inches. They are also pretty wimpy looking. I have compared them side by side at the JY.... didn't look into joint swapability, but I've heard on here before that it doesn't work. The joints look to be smaller in diameter, so probably a problem with the spline counts on the shaft itself. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLCraig Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 All of the high toppers i've seen sit level with the cab for about a foot before rising up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralDisorder Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 I agree - I have a high topper for a Gen 1 that rises right off the back of the cab. In fact all the high toppers I have seen are that way. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jibs Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 I have both a Gen 1 topper which starts to rise where the sun roof would normally be and a Gen 2 topper which begins to rise from the rear of the cab. Here's a link to my gallery to see the difference: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=3967 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
