Works for me. I'll leaving town til the 6th of Jan though but after that let's go play in the snow

Got some snow finally here in the Gold Country so had to go out the last 2 days and have some fun. Went to the local OHV park and ran into some guys who couldn't get their truck out the way they came in so had to take them out the back way which was fun, then stopped by my friends place who is storing my BRAT and Wagons for me and snapped some pics. Post some snow pics if ya got any. This is me following the group out of the OHV park-

That is one nice setup you got there:slobber:!!! Any close ups on the pivot points for the levers?

Yeah, the cars are off the ground and you can just go to town taking what you need.

I have cruise on me BRAT (unsure if it works at the moment) but am going to be removing it due to not wanting it.

Hate to burst your bubble but I thought King Springs was no more? Might want to check that out before going too far. Sorry.

Only pic I have. PM s'ko as he still has his BRAT with the mod. I'll be doing it to my BRAT and 84 sometime soon.

My dog and I and her Subie, yes hers. Will not let her ride in my Outback due to leather and tint and she is a bit wild in the back. Don't tell her but I'm selling it and letting her have my BRAT:grin:.

I have a re-manned alt. and would rather use my Warranty to get it replaced, but Kragen will not replace saying 13.8 under load is good but NAPA saying bad. NAPA says 14 is pushing good under load and use an analog meter whereas Kragen uses digital. Watching the needle on NAPA's it took 30 seconds PLUS to get to 13.5 but would not go higher even off load. Have tried the fuse test and all was good. Tried the battery disconnect and all was good. Guess I'll have to wait til next year and replace my Alternator again, this time with a NEW one .

I've had a problem with my Outback from the day I bought it 2 years ago. If it sits for a day I have to jump it. Replaced 3 batteries and one alternator, took it to 3 different mechanics with the same result ("nothing is wrong", "cannot find a problem") and took it NAPA today and was told my alternator was bad (it IS a rebuild from Kragen) and wouldn't hold above 13.5 with load. Took it to Kragen after and they say it is good, 13.8 under load. Was told anything under 14 is bad but Kragen will not cover new(er) Alternator or refund even though life time warranty. Pulled fuses and all the other stuff and nothing. Any ideas other than spending $$$ on a NEW alternator.

Sorry, it's a 1985 and pics will have to wait until next week or so for me to return.

X2!!!

So I finally got my BRAT up and running :banana::banana: after sitting for at LEAST 4 years but need to figure out where some of the vacuum lines go. Unfortunately it's been a long day and I forgot my camera so no pics and I'm kind of burnt at the moment but if I recall correctly the line from the passenger side up by the firewall connected to some round things against the wall is what I'm curious about and basically all the other lines from the passenger side. Any help would be appreciated.

LIFT IT and trow in a D/r and have some fun:headbang::headbang:

Was it just me or did the first pic of it being hooked on the stinger look like a Repo Truck?

Pm S'Ko about his BRAT. He has an EJ18 in it with an original D/r 4spd and it is MUCH better than EA81 power.

Here's mine: Stock as a rock minus the "litening holes" from mother nature . Plans are to swap the engine into another 86 I have adding a 4 inch lift in the process and put the d/r into my 84 Wagon.

I'd be interested in joining. By the way Brian, you gonna cal for your trim? I'm not going to be home this weekend but next should be good.

did it again:rolleyes:

forgot to subscribe soo........

is it just me or are there NO pics in this thread?

Ya know, it's amazing that that new headlight law has been in effect for what, a year now and a LOT of people STILL don't drive with their headlights on (even in the fog with very sh*tty visibility ). Gotta love the rain though, been needing it for a while and am looking forward to the snow and am hoping to get some in me neck of the woods (1500'). Let it rain let it rain let it rain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:banana::banana:

Yeah, the joys of the body spacers and weight difference.

Very very nice. Forgive me but how big a lift is that again? Definitely looks good (and right) with Swampers:headbang::headbang:

I've hardwired EVERY stereo I've had in EVERY car I've owned and loved it. I would assume the PO did the same with yours:confused:. Did it always do this or just recently. You can leave the fuse in as long as you remember to turn the radio "off" after. The clock shouldn't be all that much of a drain on the battery. Don't quote but 9 out of 10 times the radio and the clock are on the same fuse and someone bypassed the ignition switch and hardwired it. OR, you could have a wonderful electrical gremlin to hunt down. Good luck either way and let us know what it was.
