jg09 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 (edited) Can't find the beater 'Yota, but these might be of interest http://bellingham.craigslist.org/pts/1377626362.html The axles on this are fullsize, but cheap http://bellingham.craigslist.org/cto/1374710270.html And some Jeeps. I don't know about track width, but I'm sure they could work http://bellingham.craigslist.org/cto/1368633451.html http://bellingham.craigslist.org/cto/1352362543.html Can't remember if this generation of Trooper has a solid front axle or not, but here's a possibility http://bellingham.craigslist.org/cto/1374758360.html Edited September 17, 2009 by jg09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I do believe the '90 Troopers still had a full axle (Not independent) I know I've seen Troopers up till '93 that still used the full axle. Also, whats the diffrence between a front or rear solid axle? Besides the pumkin being at an off set on some. So why couldn't you use a rear axle in front, and just modify the housing for whats needed? Just my thoughts -Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geez, strike that I said that. well I've had a feaver and a head cold for the last few days (Not in my right mind) Scott, I would just stick with the subie diff and see how you like it (You can always change it out at latter date) -Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jg09 Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 You'd get a lot more travel and flex out of a solid axle, though. Or at least easier axle articulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott in Bellingham Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 cleaned up the front and dropped the stock frontend parts, and mocked up the front diff crossmember from my old silver shorty looks like will aime at 7-1/2 in drop at the engine crossmember and bring it for ward 2" to help with tire clearence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott in Bellingham Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 Progress or degress matters who you ask ignoring the back for now , will get the front mounted up with a engine and tranny thrown in, this frontend is from the silver car a built a few years ago Yes thats a rear diff stuffed in the front thats in the stuffed location Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott in Bellingham Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share Posted September 26, 2009 I need to decide on a engine I have a running EA81 also a EA82 and could do the EJ2,2 , thinking I should put the EA81 in it and add a Weber what would you guys do?

TheLoyale Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 EA81, I think its a better engine all around. Personaly I don't think of the EJs as being good wheeling motors, So yep, my vote is EA81. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast I Drive Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 I am running 31" tires with an EA81 and it works just fine, and Im still using the stock Subaru drivetrain, no T-case. Its a little gutless on steep hills, but with the extra gears you have that wont be a problem. -Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoobieDoo Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 My vote= EA81...easier install and sufficient power with your gearing. Only freeway use would necessitate the EJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott in Bellingham Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share Posted September 26, 2009 got the frontend bolted up ended up doing a 8" lift and brought forward 2" next install dual range and engine looks like EA81s going in , just have to swap out the fuel pump for a carb , going in today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WoodsWagon Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 I'd put in one of your carbed EJ22's with a EJ 5spd. Weld the center differential and use the rear output for the transfer case. The lack of low range in the tranny will be made up for by the transfer case and the extra power of the EJ will help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
