No Stuck

That's true.... I guess I'm looking for the max height that the scorps will give..Any chance of getting a larger diam. tire under there? Wondering what the largest you can go is. Bill

Hey guys, Was wondering if I could get more lift after I installed scorp springs...maybe tires or different rims? Also, is there a lift mechanic in and around Long island. (i.e. east coast Mud Rat). I tell you, this deep sugar sand on the beaches has me worried, unless I can achieve 9" clearence with the air down to 20lbs. I believe I need to go Higher 99 obw

No stuck here, How does that 4x4 conv. work?

No stuck here, have not found my sube yet, not alot to choose from on the island, unless you get one from the dealership. worries me a little when the dealer offers no prior paper work (work that has been done, ie; hg's, timing belt ect.) At least with a private sale, there's a chance of seeing some proof of work...... I'm still 4eat bound, so let me know how your trip to the beach goes.

Thanks Nipper, I'll be looking into autos now, much obliged to your sat. morn chat and expertise ...Subes are new to me, but the beach aint! Gracias, cafe con leche Bill

tripple shot for you. Can I pick your brain about that modulation. the 5 speed has more of a tendancy to clutch slip than the auto, when you don't have a granny? the new computers..would that be on the 2000 and up models? I like the idea of simulating the lsd, but is a newer model with a factory lsd worth the extra mile? I hate to add on the extra 300 lbs of a 2000 plus year model. thanks your java bartender Bill

MMM so maybe I should be looking into a 2000 plus OBW, I believe that's when they started up with the LSD again...good to know, and the unlimited slip of the torque c...is that a crucial element in performance in soft sand? I take it the scorps lift can be had on your 03 as well? Bill

Thanks Steve, Sand here is more sugary(slightly larger grains), but your shot of walking the dune is similar to here, ie..can be deep! Do you know of this auto vs manual decision amongst 96-99 OBW, something about a 60/40 split, or a 50/50 split, in terms of power to the front or rear wheels? Do you think you would change your tires for something wider, more surface area. Bill

True, true. I've been reading this great forum on Subes for a month now, and the gasket prob/repair is a pre rec for me buying one. Thanks

Mornin, out here on the east end..I posted earlier, maybe you could lend me your advice. thanks Thinking about purchasing a 97-99 OBW. We have some really soft sugar sand here on the beaches, especially on the entrances. After a strut/Scorpion lift, can the OBW be counted on to pull its weight in this stuff? Been driving on the beach for some years with conventional 4x4's, I know the terrain and tires that work best, air down, ect., but without a low gear and a LSD... I can only guess. Also a 5 speed, I take it, would be best for the rev's. Is an automatic better because of the 60/40 split?
