Bobbed Subaru Brat w/6" lift

What do you think about this?

It would be sitting on 30" Mud Terrains. With a 6" lift and a T-case mod. I'm going to start looking for old rusty (cheap) Brats now.

Thank you.

I forgot to put a radiator in the hood, but other then that, it's kinda what I would like to build. Apart from my idea about putting this on top of this chassis.

looks like zaps old green brat...

and a 6" lift might not be enough for a tcase...

pretty sweet, though!

thats the subaru to have. I wish I could do bodywork like that. Everything I do will be good, but it will be a lot rougher, less smooth and probably use a bit of metal... But for offroad purposes, it needs a bit more weight in the rear, it isnt supposed to look nice, and it may be tougher... You better build that now that you photoshopped that

I know what you mean. But I've been doing a lot of looking at it and my brother and I figured you could cut away the gearbox and remove the front diff. Then weld new alloy plate on to seal it all up. OR you could dry sump the EJ, move the whole engine and gearbox 6 or so inches back and put the diff under the engine... Both of these would require a fair bit of modification, but both are entirely possible in my brothers workshop. I love welding alloy

Only problem I just thought of a couple of minutes ago was using a 6" lift with transfer case means there isn't as much room above the engine for the radiator that I thought there was. But I'm sure I could make it fit. Even if I have to use the radiator in the tray (wouldn't matter much because there isn't much tray left..

I wonder how long I could drive it on road before the cops pull me over... ahah

Where exactly is the gas tank sitting? That's the only thing I see that might not fit. Maybe go with a fuel cell in the bed, directly over the rear axle.

That was my thought.. But then my brother said up the compression and run it on gas with a tank in the bed.
