kellyray Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 This might seem like a dumb question and if it is im sorry. The brat that i have is sitting on 2 flats and i just got it running the other day and havent had a chance to get in on the mud. So my question is, is it front wheel drive until you shift it into 4 wheel drive? or is it like most trucks its rear wheel drive until you shift it into 4 wheel drive? Thanks for the help.

newsoobdude Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Look at the transmission. It's a standard FWD setup with a rear output added. Great idea but yes "funky". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellyray Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 Thats why i even asked, bc of the way the transmission looked. Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cd45 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Having owned a couple of Jeeps and a Chevy Suburban, I like the system on the Subaru much better, less parts and easier to work on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uberoo Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I like the 4x4 on the subaru anyway.If you had to choose a 2wd layout for offroad(4x4 no availible) most people would choose FWD because the weight of the engine is over the driving wheels = traction(unless on a steep hill). in my backyard there is this little hill maybe 20 feet long but it its kinda steep.without fail if If the ground is wet at all I have to put my truck in 4wd to get up it,and it has a posi rearend.The subaru putts up the same hill in wetter conditions in FWD.. although the subaru 2wd layout sucks for donuts and drifts...
