I think we need to see some new pictures of "Checker-Board"

Best video I've seen...

If I'm not mistaken, the XT6 has this too?

Swapped in a lower milage (170,000) Tranny controller from a '96 Legacy, Now my shifts feel more smooth, plus it doesn't hold 1st or 2nd gear as long when cold.

I washed the Trashwagon with Soap today

Safariwagon Travels:

Thanks for the pictures, wow, that thing is huge! Looks really nice, I see he has the ARB bumper. If I'm correct, the rear suspension should be Leaf spring?

So its about as fast as my EA82 3AT

For those of us who haven't had the joy of riding in a Unimog, please, tell us, how fast does it go? I'm gonna ballpark it and say your Pinzgauer tops out at about 55mph?

Its about damn time too! Lowest I paid today was $3.25!

The main thing that makes a Brat ride stiff is the tension rear suspension. Maybe you should look into the EA82 Coil Over swap I would say Gas Adjust aswell, the AGX aren't worth the money, I've road in an XT6 with the AGX struts (Nothing impressive)

The results were from a full tank, I put 85 miles on it in one day, filled it up today as it was at 3/4 tank and did the math. Why couldn't this rig get close to 17mpg? Our 2001 Ram 2500 5.9 Magnum V8 gets about 19mpg and thats closer to 7,000lbs Vs. the Landcruisers 4,200lbs. I will say though, with its 25gal tank, it sure is a gas hog Lol! Its not really underpowered, its quicker then either of my Subarus, plus it has the torque to get you up to 60 pretty quick, Slow revving Inline-6 FTW

Sure beats our $70,000 Luxury Landcruiser!

Portal axles That is BAD rump roast!!!

So you're saying that the Gas-Adjust, are Just A Gas like jumpin' jack flash?

KYB GR-2s are good stabilizers for your money, I run them on my Legacy (And have beat hard on them a few times) Really, of the 3 you've listed, they are all good brand models and will do you just right.

Went to the petrol station, put in 5.2 gal divide that by 85 (Which was the milage since the last fill up) that comes out to about 17MPG. Not to bad, If I had matching tires it would probably get a little better.

Since I went to the junkyard to get a filler tube for the Legacy, I also picked up a pair of horns from a '98 Infinity i30, I swapped them in, and they sound much better then the stock horns of the Toyota. I also got my set of HP-LEDs from superbrightleds.com, both dome lights have been changed out with the "Warm White HP" and wow, the interior just glows now! Its really a "Pure/paper white" Vs. "Warm White" very nice! I have also discovered why the passenger side front spring makes so much noise over bumps, someone moved it and it is now seated right on the perch, will to compress it and drop the axle a little to turn it back into position.

1 annoying rattle down, 328 to go!

Replaced the leaking Fuel Filler Tube on TW10 with a rust free part from a '96 Impreza.

Had to replace a leaking Fuel Filer Tube, I found a rust free one off a '96 Impreza. 20 min to install, no more dripping! The elbow had a pin hole in it due to rust.

I'm sure you can do it, its very easy, you can't really screw anything up. You're taking large items off, so just make sure you put them back on how they were. Rust is going to be the main culprit to an issue, things may not come loose, thats when Heat and Deepcreep come into play.

That is totally BS, a dealer can get you anything (As long as its not discontinued) they may have to order it from Subaru, but they can in fact get it. That guy is just to damn lazy. FYI, Manifold studs for a Loyale will work. I think there is also a "Help" brand kit a O'rileys that has the correct threaded studs/nuts.

As long as your wires aren't cracked, you'll be alright. Crackage, will lead to arcing and poor ignition responce. Here are the PCV hoses I am talking about, You will see a 3/4" hose running from the top of the Valve cover (per side) and running torwards the Carb to the PCV valve. Remove each hose and clean them out with Carb cleaner, they tend to get a build-up of oil gunk in them. Also, check your Vaccum lines and replace them as needed, 1/8 inch vac line will work for all the little ones.

As for the SJR hub conversion plates, those are to take the 4x140 hubs and make them work with VW 5x205 wheels (Baja style wheels) I had a set of these plates once. Your best bet is to find a set of Peugeot 505 wheels, as those are 4x140 and will be either 14" or 15" - the XT6 5x100 hub conversion would be worth it though. You could start running newer Subaru parts (From Legacy and Impreza) Strut combos etc.
