Thats badass! Looking bog ready already!

So where did you get the O-rings from? O-Reily? Maybe this weekend we can get this thing all buttoned up eh? I still think you should upload your pics to Photobucket and then paste the IMG code in your messages. Cause then you don't need to worrie about file size, plus you can resize the images on photobucket before you upload them. -Tom

A Justy! Well that'll be something new for the trail. Good luck.

General Grabber AT2s! Awesome tire.

The EJ22 I believe is 2-1/4" ? Not sure on that. the EA82 is 1-7/8". You can always make doors out of Pizza boxes, rustolium and, duct tape. (Like Red Green style) "If the women don't find you handsome, they sure will find you handy" -Tom

I'll 2nd that :-p I want to see some pics of this rig! Sounds mean

Well you can always go with cling wrap!

2.5_IMP, I like how those letters look on the OBS! Looks good. I got my new Gas charged gate struts yeasterday and installed them, Wow its so nice to have the gate lift its self and stay up in the cold. No more "Wham!" Strong Arm Brand. I also Put a 2" pipe in place of the muffler. Sounds pretty good I think, Seems to have better pick-up now. Video! -Tom

I think using Lexan for the side cargo windows is a good idea.

Try Photobucket.com (Good hosting site) I have loads upon loads of pics on there. Just copy the IMG code and paste it on here -Tom

Glad the oil sensor issue is fixed. I would have changed to standard struts/coilovers aswell, much more simple in my book.

Believe me, its much worse then these pics show. Theres a build up of oil, dirt, coolant, in nice gooie chunks on the outside of the block. Maybe use it as sandwich spread?

I see Miles got the pics imported off his camera? Bout time! Haha.

Oh, I didn't even think about the other sensor type. Yes that would be an issue So why did you remove the air suspension? Seals getting old?

Sounds like a wire for the Oil Gauge is grounding out on something somewhere. Or something is putting a major draw on the electrical system when you turn to "Start" I had this same thing with my Tac gauge, something was putting a huge draw on the system (Starter selinoid was crapping out) so everytime you were to Crank the vehicle the Tac would jump way past redline and then back to 0 RPM untill the engine started. -Tom

Sounds nifty, pics are a must! It is to bad you'll selling the '72. I love those old GMs. Is it a 3/4 or 1ton? Anyhoo, away from the offtopic. Hood pins eh? Cool. Sounds like an interesting DD build. -Tom

I suppose not having a Y (Uneven headers) would give you a big lack in low-end, Plus it'd sound like a Honda :-p

Well since this is a Mud bogger, I wouldn't even worrie about te O2 sensor (Leave it out) its not like your gonna drive this on the road. I ran mine without an O2 sensor for a day (Long story) and it idles pretty good, it just runs a bit rich, but you ain't driving this on the road anyway so I don't see any reason to have an O2 sensor in it. Also, I see no need to run a Y-pipe. Just run one pipe off each head and bring it up thru the hood/engine bay like you said before. -Tom

Holy Crapola! Jumping bridges jake and Elwood style! Gonna hit up Sears afterwards, Grab some baby cloths and a new Oldsmobile -Tom

Har har! I think I'm to young be able to enjoy a Brat. Miles, Ok sounds good. I will come over on Saturday about noonish like always.

Sorry I can't really come out during the week, I sleep to damn late in winter I tell you one thing, Once we get this thing back together and on the road - you have to let me drive it some -Tom

Well remember when I said, "How about gently prying the intake up with a BJ fork" to see if it will slide off over that broken stud. Then use a clamp-on pliers to unscrew the bolt/stud. If we could do that with out damaging the gasket I mean. Cause then all you'd need to do if find another intake bolt, and you'd be a happy camper. Huh, now that you said water jacket that makes me wonder...? But most times when a Jacket go's it'll by-pass the oil system and go straight out the exhaust valve, from what I've been told and seen ('99 S-10 Blazer)

The problem with King Springs is, they are an Australian company. So trying to find suppliers in the U.S is hard sometimes, Every site I have been to was either .au or .nz Here is a link with some part numbers just for the hell of it, scroll down to the Subaru page (16) King Spring Part Numbers, LOW, STD, RAISED Something to gander at for now

Hmm, I've never really looked into King Springs. I know the Aussie guys run them alot. As for finding them around here, huh? I will check around with those part numbers tonight an see what I find. As for pulling your own struts, you can try the "Subaru Heaven" junkyard out in Cambridge, about 20 miles from Madison, Its on hy 16 and hy 12 (I've been there 3 times) He might have them on the shelf and might not want to much for 4 complete struts. If you want I have there phone number its: (608) 423-4307, Mike and Cindy Cutrano. you can also email them at SubaruHeaven@msn.com. OR, you can call up David Barthel. He is the main tech at the yard. His number is (608) 576-2036. and his email is The_Subaru_Guru@Yahoo.com Hope this helps.

Damn, you know I've been searching for 2 hours last night using different keywords and whatnot and been to tons of sites and I can not find any place where you can by stock OE springs! All I keep seeing is STi Springs for late model imprezas. I would have thought that Rockauto would have springs, but guess not. Well your other two options would be to A. go to the dealer and see what they want for new springs. Or B. Go to a yard and pull some springs. I mean really, springs from a '99-'96 OB won't really be that worn, the stablizer its self might be crap, but the spring will hold up much better over the years. Hell the struts on my '92 EA82 are still fine, pushes the wheels to the ground. So its all up to which way you want to go, I am guessing that the dealer might want anywhere from $80 to $120 per spring. -Tom
