Subaru_dude Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 just saw some impressive video of a jeep going in the bellybutton at moab, then seeming stuck, and magically driving out. anybody ever had their soob in that freakin thing? if not, I'm gonna make it a goal to be the first.

subie94 Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 the belly button is part of a trail called hells revenge.which is at moab. it does look difficult... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subaru_dude Posted September 10, 2006 Author Share Posted September 10, 2006 IMO... I really don't think the soobs low range is low enough, but I really don't have much experience in how steep of a grade a soob can climb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phizinza Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Looks like you'd need locked front and rear diffs. Something like a 8" lift with a T-case for that lower range. And some really wide tires, to get enough grip. Oh, and maybe some extra axles just incase you do some damage to them while down there.

subaruguru Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 iv done some pretty crazy stuff in a soob wagon that didnt have any momds exept some extreamly treaded tires only damage i did was to the front skid plate or back pumper on acount of whoopty dooos lol the low geard soob i think it could do it:grin: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon you'd break something with you had two welded diffs.. Because nothing would give. All wheels must turn together.. Oh, another thing. I can imagine if you welded both diffs you wouldn't have the power (or maybe even the clutch) to get your self out of that hole. So, performance clutch plus EJ22 might be needed.

seanski06 Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 not to kill it.....but i dont think its possibly....then again if one of u guys can proove me wrong....i'd love to show all my jeep buddies around here that subarus arent soccer mom cars haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subaru_dude Posted September 10, 2006 Author Share Posted September 10, 2006 yeah, i was thinkin it wouldn't be possible in a soob... just cuzza the axles, I'm pretty sure something would break. BUT... do you think an auto might be better in that situation? you wouldn't really have a clutch to burn up. instead you have an entire transmission to destroy!!! oh yeah, this brings up an old subject. there was a new design of cv joint brought up on this board that was alot stronger than the current, most common design of cv joints. you could get them custom made for anything, but you had to be ready to ration your $10 a week cuz that's all you would have left, lol. let's say you manage to afford these custom cv joints, 6" lift, divorced t-case, 2.2, or maybe ditch the divorced t-case if my theory on autos is right (actually it's somebody elses theory but whatever), and lock up the rear, and maybe limited slip the front..... cuz all 4 locked would be such a horrible ride, lol. maybe after all that $$ and time it could be possible?? we can only dream. i guarantee you somebody will tackle it with nothing but a lift and welded rear and climb outta there no problem, lol.

Phizinza Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 I just had a thought, what about an Auto with a t-case!?! I don't like autos, and I refuse to own or drive one, but I still am ok with saying they may be better in this situation.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subaru_dude Posted September 10, 2006 Author Share Posted September 10, 2006 hmmm..... i thought it was a solid rear axle at first but now that i take a closer look at it, it might not be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaruguru Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 who wants god damn axles omg i just dont see it to have axles is piontles because ther is more to have get caught on ************ i think full indepndant is the best case you can have all wheels in diforent positions and u dont need as big of tires to rais everything up (axles and what not) sorry for the hijack but i just had to say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subaru_dude Posted September 10, 2006 Author Share Posted September 10, 2006 OK, OK... ENOUGH WITH THE GD F***** CUSSIN. lol.. i personally agree with you. too much extra weight and you have to argue whether or not it's a subaru frame alot more frequently with solid axles.

SuBrat84 Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 I bet studded and/or snow chained tires and a rear LSD that you could climb a soob (Especially a hatchh) out of that hole! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got big ideas and dreams for this particular one. For example, did you ever see our Bimmer-W? ... We don't run no regular kind of beauty school up over this way!
