Yes. GT wheels. These were used on the Turbo Sedans and Wagons of the First gen Legacy.

You have the GT style wheel, meh? Yeah gloss black would look cool (Metal flake black even cooler!)

Looks real nice now! That color needs more depth (Sorry Subaru, but it does) Like this.

Agreed, you don't want it too stiff so it doesn't move (That torque has to go somewhere) it would be like having solid motor mounts Lol!

It adds class Jon, I now have a newer rear hatch handle assy! Works like new now, took it off that Silver Outback down at Al's (Norm said $10)

Ya know, I got into this thinking it would be similar to a Subaru (From an engineering standpoint) in a few ways it is, but in a lot, its a completely different animal. I'm starting to really dig it, it just takes a little to get used to when working on it, its better then working on an S-10 Blazer though Your buddies truck looks great, gotta hand it off to those KM2s! One thing that I kinda dislike is, the Landcrusier forum (ih8tmud.com) isn't all that friendly, and its still hard to find little things I need for this truck (Some interior pieces) Like the winder switch bezels for the passenger doors and a fuse box dash cover.

Well, if you can find me a complete set of rear discs for $36.60, then I'll do so You think you hated your EA82 drums, try a Toyota OMG! (Bad design for sure)

Whoops, broke the rear bleeders off today (Not leaking) but I am now going to replace both wheel cylinders and probably the hydraulic hose (Since that'll most likely f******* up as well) "If it isn't broke, fix it till it is"

A lot have been told that general maintenance parts for these are costly, but the truth is, parts for this rig are cheeper then most for a Subaru Legacy, no bull either! I was shocked.

Just took the truck for a 2 hour drive (Around the Kettle Moraine Forest) and WOW, its really starting to drive nice, downshifts very smooth now and the ticking has gone away, I think this thing just needed to be driven, it was sitting a month before I bought it, and who knows how long before that, and was it a lot of city driving? I'm starting to really enjoy it now! I have new shocks coming (Rancho RS5000) for now, until I get the OME lift. I would love to get new tires before winter, so we'll see what happens with that

That was easy. (Once I found a 54mm or 2-1/8" socket)

Re-packing front bears and adjusting Wheel end-play today.

NGK BPR-6ES11s are stock for the EA82. As for leanness, it could be a worn Fuel pressure Regulator, Weak injector or a MAF issue, do you notice any bogging or delay when you get on the throttle?

If the plugs and valves are white, is it somehow running to lean? To rich would give you blacked plugs, valves, piston tops. You said you are doing HGs (Internal or External gasket failure?) so wouldn't the Coolant cause a buildup of residue on them?

I was looking at getting these a while ago, they seem nice, they don't need a lip to attach to which is nice. I've seen a few people on here go with them, they had good results from what I know.

My Outback has 220,000 and still drives like a new car. That one sounds like it had Headgaskets done at some point "New heads"

How about these? http://www.autobarn.net/pac52170.html?site=google_base http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=103414

This is where taking the time to Inspect and Maintain your machinery is a key component. (As the same people who don't inspect their ATF cooling lines probably don't inspect their driveshaft yokes, which could also break and leave folks stranded on the dark trail)

I bet those air struts won't pump up.

Here, this explains it somewhat. There is a better thread, but I can't find it ATM. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=120418&highlight=Duty-C

Would look rather cool if you chopped out the fenders a little and stuck some 30s" under it! Have you had any issues with the 5-0 yet?

These cars are everywhere, go to any junkyard and you will find a bakers dozen (13 or more) So what if one has gotten hacked up? Its not like hacking up a Brat or 3-Door which the West coast guys seem to do plenty of. Yeah, someday these cars will be in short supply, but for the time being, their safe.

'92 Landcruiser Full-Time 4WD. '01 Ram 2500 and '08 FJ Cruiser.

Those 4-Runner/Landcruiser wheels will look great on there! Hope to see more of this rig! -Tom
