so what if my justy suddenly found it had a rollcage to connect the suspension points together?Then what if it found itself 7 or 8" higher with a sammy or nissan Tcase under the thing...and then 27" or better mud tires...
I think it would be a monster justy,but what about the axles?any way to beef those up?

I'd say put a real subaru drivetrain under it. no, scratch that, get a real subaru and do it.

Go find another Justy....doesnt matter if its 4wd or not, or if it has a blown motor.
Find a wrecked Sami.
Put body of Justy on Sami frame.
You might be able to fit a EJ engine under it, if theres clearance between frame and body. But theres other engine choices out there.

nope.justies up to 93 believe are 100% subaru.
Depends on where your from.
But trying to lift one and put big tires on it is going to kill the fun factor.
It will be absolutely gutless

the justy is transverse yes but the driveline for the rear wheels is in the same orentation as any other RWD/4WD driveline...
I know, front is still goofy. and are you going to mount a tcase to the justy tranny?
there's absolutely no reason to do this to a justy, when there are EA81 hatches out there. virtually the same size, but set up just asking for a lift and tcase.

yea I suppose your right.I would miss the go cart like handling.Maybe I can find a brat or hatch...or even a legacy...
I call BS...
those motors spin very high revs that will go well with a lifted, transfer cased set-up. Step outside the box and go your own direction. Justy rare? Are you freaking kidding me? Add the transfer case and keep the rest Subaru. Make the first...others will follow!
You do not have to go huge with 27"+ tires to make it off-roadable. a 2" lift and maybe a set of 20-22" ATV tires will do wonders. Weld the rear diff and make peoples heads spin when you approach.

That's what I'm talking about.

But it would seem he has already sold it.
Heck when I first started wheeling my Soob I didn't even know there were others out there doing it too. Thought I was the only crazy one.
Oddly enough I had never even seen a lifted Soob.
Ahh then I found this place and realized I was just another GL wagon in the woods. :-\
