sounds like a babe rally candidate. we go through cherokee on the rally. i could theoretically park a car. i have 7 of them now

i have been there twice. the first time, the guy invited me in and showed me his shop, chattes soobs for better than an hour. the next time i went, he didnt give me the time of day, and wanted way too much, and stressed the point how he can make thousands off one outback selling parts to dealers, abd the old ea's are dinosuars. from what i have seen, he his making his money on new soobs, not doing anything with the old ones, and they just sit there, because who would have the heart to crush all them soobs! the new soobs turn around quick. there are parts on the shelf for ea81/82's if what you need is already on the shelf. he brings them in one at a time for parts, so this means any in the yard are as complete as they came in, with titles. if he let you in the yard and pull your own parts, consider it a honor and a true privilege as he has been sed for liability on more than one occasion. you may very ell have the 'in' with this guy to go pull parts. he only deals with subaru dealers and doesnt bother or take the time to deal over the internet. if you are in there pulling your own parts, you will own the ebay market for ea81/82 soobs congratulations!

those videos were shot almost 5 years ago, back in april of o5. it was only 3 years ago since ihad the tapes captured to dvd, 2 years ago since i had a computer with software, a year ago when i last uploaded, and finally now for that batch of videos. there will be a good 175 toatal videos from that catch of tape. they can be redundant, but there was no such thing as youtube when i shot the stuff originally.

this has the 3.0 v6 between both trucks. i am told a 5spd manual will swap in, and may as well put in a supra straight six! my 78 camper has a 20r, 2.2 manual 4spd, sort of the ea81 version of the toyota u-haul:rolleyes: half ton axle, single tire the u-haul is dual axle, 1 ton it looks like the fame is different as far as the front crossmember is taller on the 4wd, and welded to the frame. i would assume the front half of the frames would have to be chopped in, and somehow adapt the 1 ton hubs onto the front axle. the 4 runner wheels are almost twice as big as the 14 inch wheels

I have a 1990 1 ton truck, u-haul spec, 3.0 v6, automatic, dually rear axle (10 ft u-haul) i also have for parts a 1990 4runner 3.0v6 4wd automatic. i am wondering if any of the transmission or 4wd is swappable onto the 1 ton, or at least what is worth keeping from the 4 runner before i scrap it. the 4 runner has the same engine, but the engine does not spin and there is no coolant. hopefully i could get this 4 runner to run. aside from that, i have swapped the front fenders, hood, bumper and grille to the u-haul i am going to swap the instrument cluster to have a tach, and the odometer is within 1000 mile difference door panels with pockets look like they will fit also. maybe the rear tire carrier will fit on the u-haul for extra security and to make a cargo mount.

are you converting to the whole spfi, which will require swapping the engine harness? otherwise the spfi motor bolts in the same. you can put the carb intake on the spfi motor and go from 8.5 compression to 9.5 compression. you may have to block off some egr passages, though

we drove 5500 miles cross country and back in an 87 rx with the diff locked in FWD, because we had to remove a rear axle, because one of the wheel bearings were bad and we rode with an xt6 5 lug on the one side. had no problems, but we were running FWD

backlash in the driverside belt. adjust the tensioner. your tach is juming around, isn't it?

i bought a loyale that had the belts installed wrong. i went to look at it, and offered to fix it for him for my price, or let me fix it and sellit to me for his price. an hour later, i drove it out of his barn. so if you see any subarus for sale with 'bent valves' for cheap, snatch them up, because you will have a good car with new belts for an hour of your time. good luck with your belts, hope the article helps, feel free to ask me questions if you need help milesfox@yahoo.com

the coupe windshield is different from wagons or sedans. it rakes back at a sharper angle, and is narrower at the top vs the bottom. same goes for the front windows and mirror mounts, since the cope rake is different. you will need a replacement from a coupe only. i just junked a coupe. i wouldhave made an attempt to salvage the windshield if i know someone would have been hollaring for one. anyway i have the door glass and the liftgate glass good luck

i would think it would fall under open container laws. as far as it being legal in a limo, that may have to do with the driver having a chauffeur's(sp?) license

Yo! The Doctor is in. staying out of trouble:lol:?

bees tend to nest in subarus. maybe they are attracted to the shape? its like those beetles in australia BECAUSE THEY ARE HUMPING BROWN BEER BOTTLES INSTEAD OF FEMALE BEETLES.

take a look at the dimmer swithc. there are 2 cases that i can account for where the dimmer switch burned out

if you have an ea82 car, there is a left and right fuse on the panel

i am not riding either a 77 suzuki gs550 or a 81 yamaha exciter 185, because they got stolen out of the alley. at least i got one good ride in november, ask mick. to hell with my riding season this year. time to break out the wal-huffy beach cruiser. go pedal power!

there are 2 dipsticks! the one on the top of the trans takes regular ol' gear oil, somewhere around a quart

there are 2 styles of (optical) distributor, either will work. the spfi disty has a short rotor and a round shaft the turbo disty has a taller rotor and cap, and a d-shaped shaft. the plug is round for 85-86. 88 and up has a square plug. for 87, the spfi has a round plug, and mpfi has square plug. you can swap the pigtails from one disty to the other and that will work. otherwise, i have a disty from an 87 rx i am yanking today. email if interested milesfox@yahoo.com

the car weighs about 2700 lbs you can tow this car on a towdolly. leave the car in FWD, the 4wd off. the only drive wheels will be ON the dolly itself. in front wheel drive mode, the rear diff and driveshaft are disconnected from the trans, and roll along idle. you will be fine using a front wheel tow dolly, since this is part time 4wd rans and not a full time awd, no center diff yhis car is approved on a u-haul dolly, and you can tow with any vehicle that weighs more than the subaru, any v-6 size car or chryslervan is approved by u-haul. the trbeca should do it. i towed a wagon with a hyundai elantra over 300 mi with no problems

real simple. take off the pitch stopper bar at the top of the engine. remove the nuts on the studs to the motor mounts. you can place a jack under the front of the tranny just behind the engine cradle. you will be able to jack up the motor at least 3 inches, and have plenty of room. do the engine mounts first. reinstall the pitch bar, and then take the tranny mounts off

you need to have a 4wd gas tank, so the diff clears it. you can get away with a FWD gas tank if you had a good 3" lift kit

loosen the frontmost bolt for the crankcase halves, just above the oil pump:banana:

what you are speculating is correct. right now the one cam is out of phase. if you are reading the haynes book, the procedure is correct in the text, but the illustrations do not demonstrate the 360 crank rotation between cams. iot foils everyone!

this may sound obvious but is the coolant low? the symptoms seem so to me. the thermostat housing can get hot from steam, but if there is not enough coolant flowing over the thermostat, it will never open.

otherwise, you can swap the ea82 flywheel and clutch onto the ea81. the holes are larger, but the bolts will fit and torque. be aware the timing marks are different between the ea81 and ea82 flywheels, so be sure to transfer the marks if you can.
