MorganM Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 how big of a spare parts box you bringing ??? LOL not big enough! So far I just have spare timing belts, hoses, coil and recovery gear. I'd like to get a spare front and rear axle. What else would you suggest? I can hit up a junkyard before FRI.

mcbrat Posted September 20, 2004 Author Share Posted September 20, 2004 definitely axles. spare tail lights, turn signals, etc... for the trip home... since I drove the brat there last year, I was a little careful with it and I only broke out a front turn signal on my Brat. had an axle boot rip on the way there, but kept going with it that way. I'm trailering it there this year though with the urethane tranny/motor mounts, I don't think I'd like to drive it a long distance. would shake the innards out of me I think..... I'll have some spare nuts/bolts along, my axle tools, etc.... as well as tons of electrical stuff. I still have to get my welded diff in.... LOL not big enough!

MorganM Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 are you guys back yet? what broke? i must know! Yep made it back last night. Nothing broke on the way down or on the trails. I threw a timing belt on the way back in S.Dakota just north of Vermillion/Yankton exit. Working out a recovery plan. Leaning towards getting a truck and trailer/dolly/tow bar. I'd say more but I should be calling places right now McBrat has some good pics to post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezapar Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 That's a dangerous area to take ea82s thru. Caleb Svengouli lost a head gasket there, had to leave it. Beware taking ea82s thru South Dakota. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vicky I cant wait to see the pics I really wanted to go to this one, but Tim had his RAT thing!!!!! Yeah I prolly should have. When I came down FRI It was pretty late and I just wanted to get to the site. SUN coming home I didnt even want to mess with it; just get home, get a shower, and get some sleep. I figured instead of doing a repair on the road 5 hours away I should just come get it in one for sure trip. Just got home with her on the tow dolly. F350's sure can pull a Subaru at 85 MPH good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I realized I left my Dad's cell phone locked in my trunk back in Minneapolis along with my laptop that had your number on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
