jeffast Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 i think thats beautiful! is it real?? however i really doubt that a stock justy has enough power to turn those monster wheels anywhere other than down a hill. As for rolling backwards, im sure that could pose a problem, but it does have a really wide track, and an extremely light body, so im sure (if it has power) it could put up a damn good fight against a lot of people. Rickdog. I guarantee you that baby doesnt get 35mpg's. not trying to start a war, but why the hell is so many people against the justy? i mean seriously whats with the "rolleyes" and the scoffs? i know its an underdog, and in a completely different league of its own, but damn!! give them and their owners a freakin' break. what do you think the people on that pirate board do to others like, hum lets see, US , with there ***************ing that we're just a car and dont have V8s and the like? your all doing the same thing when you say "its not worth it" or "it's stupid," to people striving to have fun in the car THEY love. and to another SUBARU at that. you're either stupid, or just rude, obnoxious people. honestly i think he has a point allot people knock justies all the time they are awsome economy cars they are the good economy cars, they have 4wd and are good in the snow, they can seat 4 people as comfortably as my xt-6 can and to top it off they can get 40 plus mpg they were a good design i and i for one say here's to them end rant also what's up with the power hump that is freakin awsome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrap487 Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 my my... add a tcase and we got ourselves the next fj40 here... seriously though, nice job, nice camber too, shorter is way better for off road. hey if you build it up enough, you got plenty of lift to get you most places, just slap a little bit more armor on there and just floor it and flatten some bushes and make your own trail, who needs gears when you got momentum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WagonsOnly Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 grumblegrumblegrumble...don't need low range in a Justy...grumble... Seriously, for a car that does 4K RPMs at 60MPH, I don't think the gearing is as much a problem as the length. If this thing's just going over light terrain, a little mud and such, or even beach duty, it's a great concept. Steep hills would be the only problem (or getting stuck and not having the grunt, gearing aside, to get out). Also...Jeff...ever ridden in the back of a Justy? I am NOT knocking your car in any way--but I can say for absolutely certain that my '94 Justy seats 4 people a heck of a lot more comfortably than any XT or XT6 I've ever owned. The front seats might not be great, and the back seats aren't very well formed--but comparatively speaking the XT has NO legroom (I'm only 5'9" but have fairly long legs, so the seat in my car is always all the way back) and very limited headroom. No, it's not a wagon, but it's a far cry from an XT too. (now if they just coulda put an H6 in it...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chazmataz Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 i think that thing is awesome looking. i've been thinking of looking for a justy for awhile now but not to lift but something to take to the beach like sandlake or down to florence or even long beach, wa. put a roof rack on it to carry some atv tires with rims to put on when you get there and tool around on the dunes. anybody got one for sale.

jeffast Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 no i can't say i have, ever ridden in the back of an xt? shorter roof same leg room and much faster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
970subaru Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 sweet! probably the lightest streetable vehicle on 27's. I really want a stock(ish) justy as a cheap DD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WagonsOnly Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 no, trust me, shorter roof, less leg room. Much more comfortable in front but for some twisted reason the Justy is just as much fun to drive (to me)...but I like tin cans like that (and my current XT6 is an autospastic...)

Bgale04 Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 this isnt even this guys car, ive seen this thing in person! well it was in peices cuz he rolled it, now he is, well he was working on a new one that he converted fron 2wd to 4wd. the thing is pretty damn sweet, and he said that surprisingly the thing does pretty damn well, but from what i heard he mostly took it in the sand.

scrap487 Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 i dont think its possible for a justy to flip going up a hill... cause they are awd right? front and back arent locked... as soon as the front tires dont have enough weigh on them to have any traction, the rear isnt gonna keep pushing and its just gonna roll back down the hill, unless you hit the brakes and then you're screwed. I personally would wheel the snot out of that thing, I like how someone put it, great "hooligan" car... when you wheel that thing your not hauling around as much weight, so I think you can get away with throwing it around a whole lot more without having to worry bout it. thats just about the perfect height, maybe just a little bit higher than it needs to go considering how short it is, I'd keep the 4" lift and try to find slightly smaller, more aggressive tires... btw isnt this thread really old?

bushbasher Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 The justy is 4wd. Now that I've wheeled my justy a bit I would say that its unlikely that it would rollover backwards. However, it still cant hold a candle to a stock ea81/ea82 offroad. It makes almost no low end torque, and first gear is too tall. Even with the stock tires I was burning the clutch trying to get up things. It would not survive the terrain we have on the island, but it would be okay in mud or sand were the objective is to keep speed. Out here its all about crawling and really tight, steep off camber trails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack in Norfolk Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Very very cool! Its about time someone tricked out a Justy. With the rise of off-road golf carts (like the Honda Mule) as an alternative to ATVs, I see the Justy as a bigger version. Rock on. And what the hell is under the hood?

JustyJeff37 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I am currently lifting my Justy! 3 1/2'' in the rear and 4'' in the front. I am working on the rear first. I have the lift in, but I need to do a couple more things to finish it up. Once the rear is done I will start on the front. I have some tires from a 99 Ford Ranger, I just need to get some 14'' rear wheel drive offset wheels to mount them on. I am wondering how you did your lift? Can you send me some pictures of your suspension, and any parts that you modified? Also, when I lift the front will I run into any problems with the steering linkage?

Logan K Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Just out of curiosity, has anyone ever tried to see if a D/R tranny would fit in a justy? seems like that would add alot of potential to this car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
