The Scooby

you have a short somewhere in the wiring that is causing it, look for arching at night time in the engine bay with someone helping.

we are leaving friday morning, let me know what time to meet at the jack in the crack and ill be there with the wife and maybe tom, aj, and gerlende from aarons. if they don't just leave from their house. i prefer to caravan since i dont know how fast im going because of the larger tires.

where at? im in burien white center? i used to live in auburn then lake tapps by the top foods.

congrats from everyone here at aaron's

once i do the first nose job on any of my subies i leave out the nuts/bolst and replace with zip ties. alot faster and easier to check for leaks and such, rather then breaking the covers when you put them on or take them back off because you set the timing wrong.

ya this was kinda first shot see what the new welder can do, and just toss it together. ill end up making this into the rear bumper later after i get some heavy'er steel for the front. then build it out to protect the headlights/corners.

yet good old harbor freight chicago electric flux welder for $100. once i got used to it i was running some good strong beads. and in the last picture it looks crooked but its not is how i took that picture. hopefully today i can get around to mounting the lights (driving and turn signals) as well as the lisense plate.

just finished about 1hour ago. ended up having to cut off the brackets and cut them shorter and reweld everything. then paint and such. its not done i just ran out of metal for the light and plate mounts as well as D-rings. once i get that ill mount that stuff on and paint it with truck bed liner. ^to dam hot here in seattle the last few weeks!! ^paint i used ^finished

so it took the same work it took me 4years ago when i put inpreza seats into my 86 GL wagon, swap rails, bolt up the fronts redrill rear's and put some bolts, nuts and lock washers. those look very nice in there.

we have them in stock at Aaron's subaru only wrecking yard in seattle. and wont be a problem to ship it to you VIA UPS. give us a call if your intrested 800-541-7271 or 206-243-4665

ya i just checked harbor freight and they have the 3000lbs for like $100. ill have to go get that today so i can mock it up on my bumper before its done.

also what minimum weight for a winch you would recomend. found one locally for $100, 2,000 pound pull. i was thinking with a snatch block and a few pullies it would be fine to pull my car around right? or should i save up and get like a warn or ramsey 4-6Klbs winch? Thanks, Shean

zap... thats it until the WCSS

well that sucks, but just to let you know, the stubs comming out of the front diff are soposted to have a little movement. all subies are like that even on the new ones. check your drive line, you could have lost a weight or the joints are going bad. pull it out and move it around. if it feels crunchy, wack the side of the u-joint where its pressed in with a hammer and re check. i had the same problem with the wife's outback, hit it with a hammer and its good as new. little trick i learned while working on cars for the last few years.

well ive been wanting to make a new bumper for a while now, and now that i got a welder today i can build something simple with light mounts, and beefy enough to be able to pull my car with. started with some 3X6 tube steel, and got some steel pipe thats 2.5inch OD and made a grill protector. still have to add some light tabs for mounts, maybe some headlight protectors, finish weld the bumper brackets, and make up a skid plate. so hopfully tomarrow if i get time after golfing i can bolt it into place to check everything then finish weld the mounts. if you have any recomendation or ideas please feel free to toss them out. ill get some pictures uploaded in an hour or so.

ill have to pass this time, rather save money for gas, spare tires, tool kit, etc. for WCSS

how long of a drive is it from seattle? if not too far i would be down to go.

why not fashion up some sway bar quick disconnects and have best of both worlds. takes about 1 hour to make a set for the front and back, have them in when on road, pull them in a few seconds when ready to wheel. im making a set right now for my wagon.

nice looking brat :cool:

ya you do have too many, you need to sell my that brat now for $1200.

im down for anything, dunes sound good, i was planning on going to the beach anyways with the wife, i know she will have fun no matter what we do since we are getting out of the house. i hope to have my 2inch lift by then and maybe a welded rear diff.

what size lift and tires are you guys runnin? if my plans are good enough for me to be able to make it ill be down to go anytime.

that looks like fun. can't wait to build some safari doors for my GL wagon and get out onto some trails.

ok looking for a wiring diagram on the just tranny's. the one im working on is a 1990, injected pushbutton 4wd. put a JDM tranny in it, problem is is that the old trans had 2 sensors, JDM has 3, no matter how you hook up the two ether 4wd light stays on or stays off but 4wd doesn't work. any help

lift it, and put some mud tires on her, have the whole car sprayed in truck bedliner, then have fun in the trails.
