I've had to give up and just replace both pieces. Sometimes, that sucker just ain't coming off.

It was one thing carrying it in in boxes, but now that it's assembled, she's gonna have to help you carry it out to the car.

My latest find, #32 **edit** **New pics on page 3***
I'll put it in my name, the title process should take 6-8 weeks. I think it would be easiest for you if I was signing a title over to you, rather than using paperwork to confuse the officials here and there when it comes to shipping time. Hopefully I'll possess it this weekend and can take more better pictures.

Wanna see what neglect looks like?

That's about as bad as rust problem as any I've ever seen on one of mine. "Bob" had been used to haul salt at a ski resort so had a few issues in the bed, another had been left sitting in tall grass for a few years so the rockers were hurting pretty bad. This will make a fine donor for my Brat's needed fenders and door and maybe the hood. After those are on, it will be pretty friggin' pristine and ready to paint. Throw the Brat's fenders on it, a can or 10 of cammo green, and off to the cabin.- My latest find, #32 **edit** **New pics on page 3***
My, I dunno, 10th hatch? Whatever. Craigslist find. The right price. If 22b wants it for Australia, it's his. If not: It goes to the cabin to be part of the fun when we go out there. It's as nice as the pics show, couple pretty minor issues. nice butt. nice lines left right lookin' good The ugly part. lol- 85 Brat: What's he worth?
Mine's got a lift, LSD, Weber, custom bumpers, and a topper. I felt like I was stealing it when I bought it back for $2900.- Need a little backup on the off-road ability of roos
Quit letting your woman choose your ride. If you want a Subaru, buy it. Don't spend your life letting her make your choices, or soon, your undies will match your socks.- LSD Swap Internals
Nope, the axles have to come off. You have to pull the stub axles to get the innards out.- LSD Swap Internals
You'll have a real hard time squeezing it in there if you don't grind it.- noob soob question :)
I take jokes about my Mom very seriously. Great way to introduce yourself.- Gurus? ea81 specific?
Well, it seems to have fixed itself. I'm betting it had to do with either the gas that was in it, or the temperature/altitude. I ran the tank to empty, and then added more gas. I can't get it to duplicate the symptoms now, it runs great at 4k, even pulling up a hill. The gas light works by the way. lol- Old member back! Anyone seen my car?
That car's been everywhere. It made it to the West Coast 2 times. I know what Mick means by boomerang. I bought my current brat at an auction in 01. Sold it to a Soobie Mechanic, and bought it back from him 6 months later. Built it up with a lift and stuff, and sold it to a retired guy in Idaho. Bought it back in June of this year, flew down and drove it back.- Gurus? ea81 specific?
Then again, maybe it would be a good idea to run it this a.m. to see if temperature is what's bugging it. It's about 30 outside right now.- Gurus? ea81 specific?
I have one of the pre-filter thingys (pre-charger), maybe I'll stick it back on. I get to wondering if it was bad gas, but really want to check/change the fuel filters. Tomorrow I hope to have time to get under it to check. Lame thing is, I'm somewhat crippled for the next 2-3 weeks, wrench turning is against the rules. This afternoon, once it warms up a little, I'll take it out of the garage and run it to see if it's still acting up. I've run across all sorts of gremlins that come for a day and promptly go away and never come back in my time as a Soobie driver.- Hankook tires
Nope. No good tires in a 16. . . Of course man. I have two different sets. These ones have been tried out, I love them. Another variation of Hankooks.- New Boy from Oz
Sorry I quit reading at Subaru made the ea82 in 86. I did a search, and can't find a 1985 rx in the two door. . . I'll keep my eye out for local hatches for ya 22.- Gurus? ea81 specific?
Yeah, it's got an Accell. Concensus seems to be fuel filters or coil. I'll try the fuel filters first this weekend. I'll buy into the cold air messing with it too, but I haven't driven it since I got back to see if it's still doing it.- Weekend of 11/17,18 mud 'n' snow runs
Killer pics and story guys. That looks like a blast. I hope we have that much snow for the Xmas tree run.- New Boy from Oz
Fixed.- 4 (four) wheel drive is for whoosies. Can you say Tatra?
Kidding. How about this?- 4 (four) wheel drive is for whoosies. Can you say Tatra?
That's pretty impressive. How about this?- Gurus? ea81 specific?
85 ea81, has a Weber 32/36 on it. Yesterday while I was headed up the highway to the pass, it started cutting out. It was up a big hill, I was in 3rd. I found that when I let off the gas, it would run better. At 3 grand or so, it runs like a champ. Get the rpms closer to 4k, it freaks out and starts cutting out. It did not do this on a previous run up the same route, so I don't think it's an elevation thing. Things I think it may be. Coil is weak. Bad Gas. Clogged secondary jets. Fuel pump. Weak alternator. (Voltage drops when I hit the lights, more for the heat. With nothing running, it sits at 14, with just about anything on, it drops to 12.)- Spur of the moment Snow Park stuff.
Bundled up the boy and headed on up to Snoqualmie. The brat was running a little goofy today, so I didn't go too far up into the Snow Park. The new tires work like crazy at 35 lbs. They'll have to really kick rump roast at 20 or so. Dunlop Radial Rovers. Managed the better part of the hill climb before the off camber part got the best of me. I didn't want to get too crazy with the boy in the car anyways. With a better run, I coulda made it. (wink)- Thinkin linkin
Unless when you buy your old brat back it still has the LSD you originally sold it with. lol It works, but it's no locker. Proved that to myself today. I made it till the off camber really steep spot. Half way up that, no more go. I also took it kind of easy cuz my 2 year old was riding shotgun. Pretty impressive standing at the bottom. - My latest find, #32 **edit** **New pics on page 3***
