GeneralDisorder Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 XT6 is completely different - my bet would be no. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baccaruda Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 hey miles. you might add that the "modification" necessary to the 2WD backing plate is simply an enlargement of the center.. not hard to do; i know as Skeet's 4WD wagon has 2WD backing plates on it thanks to yours truly. I'm liking your tech writeups more and more; "someone had to do it!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarutex Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 My 5 lug converted RX is sporting 2wd xt6 backing plates in the rear. You have to make the center hole bigger by just about a 1/4 inch all the way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baccaruda Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 the job is made much easier by that middle part being made of aluminum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
