Ed, I'll be hitting the local PnP Wednesday for a few little doodads, I'll keep an eye out for ya;) .

Getting back to the balljoint... One of my manuals (FSM, Haynes, How To Keep Your Subaru Alive) says to pull back the rubber "housing" on the balljoint and fill with grease (the other two don't, IIRC). I thought those came pre-lubed and sealed, but my feeling with this is, "never enough grease":-\ . Opinions, advice, experiences, comments?

You mentioned having another Soob to get parts from. How about swapping the entire tailgate?

Another possibility: plug wires. Just my 2 bucks . -- Please let us know what corrected the problem?

Yup, normal. My Fords and Acuras did/do it too.

Thanks..just lookin' to be properly prepared/equipped:cool: .

Just to be crystal clear, more similar to Hood River than to Thurston ORV...right? Showers=extra bonus! -- Already blocking the time on my 2008 calendar:headbang: .

Wow..I was just thinking about the next WCSS, didn't really expect to hear/read anything until early next year:cool: . Onsite camping was mentioned...will this be a similar setup to the meets at Hood River?

Well shoot guys, the weather's been real nice around here, and is expected to last through the weekend:banana: . Great for wrenching, even if outdoors. Brian, a tree run in the snow (usually in mid-December) is always a blast.

I believe he was a hitchhiker I picked up along the way, he had no Subaru :lol: . (Just messin' a little Bri)

...And I can sleep in the back! I'm for the wagon .

I'm in. Got a couple of errands before noon, might even hit the PnP real quick for a couple of doodads. How about the rest of you guys, eh?

"next time, don't go with the douglas tires" Maybe next time don't go with Walmart. 99% probability you have a balance problem; 1% faulty tire.

Paul, that's just...breathtaking .

(Tim, ya beat me to it) What he said .

I guess it was kinda short notice, but I just thought I'd toss it out there...

I'm also off tomorrow. We can hit the local yards Saturday, and meet with the rest of the guys Sunday...

If not a wrenchfest, maybe some light wheeling before the snow flies. (My rig could always use a new axle or two:lol: ) Most of the USFS trails around Tahoe are already closed:( .

What the heck (no pun intended:rolleyes: ), how about this Sunday, 21st? No snow or rain in the forecast.

I could always use a few misc EA81 parts . Hey Croak, are you still interested in those plastic Wagon Wheel rings?

Yeah, we usually meet someplace in Reno. Kinda centrally located, and only 30~40 minutes from me.

Looks way cool Brian..but it's a little over my stock wagon's head:lol: :lol: . It was a beautiful weekend for wheeling too, not many left this year. Glad you made the most of it:clap: .

I went to replace the pads today, and the piston on the passenger side is frozen solid, won't budge. Besides, it's time..these calipers have over 150K on them, and are Kragen Remanufactured (ElCheapo).

OK, my '83 needs new calipers (front). I've looked around online, and am seeing calipers listed as "loaded", "semi-loaded", and "unloaded". Does "loaded" mean the calipers come with everything, no need to buy pads and other hardware separately? Seems like that's the way to go. Opinions, explanations? Thanks.
