GD, yep this write-up will help aswell (Can never enough info) Gary, its not really a hole per say, but more like a very small rip shaped like an arrow (Or an L) anyway, yea I was thinking about adding some grease to it and try to seal it for the time being. Anyone know if an apoxy will do so? and how would you clean the outsid of the boot from grease so the apoxy will adhere? -Tom

Yep thats normal, Mines like that aswell (But its gray) So apparently S.O.A didn't spare any expence with the sealant on my cam towers Lol. -Tom

GD, I found Chux axle rebuild thread and this will help me alot! I still would like to hear your take on it anyway if you have time. Thank you NumbChux for tis thread and pictures! -Tom

Tin cans will add to the look :-p Wow your just hauling rump roast on this huh! Keep it up! -Tom

GD, ok that sounds good. Now not to sound like an idiot. but the round metel housing that slides onto the tranny spline is called? So just so I know what I'm doing. once I get a boot kit, I only want to replace the one thats crap ATM. SO anyhoo, do I cutoff the old boot. then I need to pop the axle out of the metel housing? so I am able to slip the new boot/clamp onto the axle. Then reattach the axle to the metel housing then worrie about tighting the clamps for the boot? If its set up the way I think it is, how do you remove the axle from the metel housing thing? is that called a DOJ? Lol sorry for these lame Qs. you know me better then this, but I just want to dubble check with you -Tom

Which boot are we talking about? the one for the CV or the one closest to the tranny? Cause the boot closest to the tranny on mine has a pin hole in it and has been pumping out some grease when it get hot. Been like that for about 2500miles. I figure it isn't to big of a deal at the moment as it doesn't need to turn, it just needs to sping and pivet. Whats better, replacing the entire axle with new, or just the boot(s) ? Seems easier to replace the entire axle, maybe its just me? -Tom

Bill, are you planing on adding a flap on each stack to keep water/snow out of them? Would be a good idea -Tom

PM sent -Tom

The RX grille. -Tom

Scott, here are the pictures you asked for Perfect fit

So this means, buy another RX grille, paint it black and zip tie in onto the front of the other one eh? So I have a black and red grille. I'll get a picture in a few hours

So it can foul out the plugs and start gunking up the valves and floatbowl? Not a good idea in my eyes. -Tom

Ohhoho! Winter wheeling! thats something I havn't seen much of, take pictures when you do Bill

After thought: It would be awesome to pull into work with a machine that looks like that! I'd make the guy with the '96 Civic sedan crap his pants when I park next to him (Well I do already Muhahahaha!) Those tires are just cool, I bet they are a pretty soft rubber eh? -Tom

Reliant Robin, a little 3 wheeled POS car in NY LMAO! I dout you'd ever find a Robin in any U.S boneyard. This just a funny post in a way, the cars thye list is insane Lol. Why not say you have a new short block for a Ssangyong Rexton II while we're at it :-p -Tom

Oh thats good you had both connected, looks cool when its cold Nah, I think you could drive those tires around the city Hehehe:grin: -Tom

Miles, huh that seems strange. Maybe he was having a bad day? that happens He was really kind this time! I didn't even need to sign a waiver. I think he trusts me, I'm not just a dumb kid, I know my sh1t and I think that pleases him He even gave me a ride in a first gen Outback from one side of the yard to the other on a search for Brown EA81 window cranks. and yea we found them Was funny, I'm dinking with a Brat and he pulls up and says "Howdy hey!" and and asks if I'm finding everything, I said yea, except for the window cranks. He says hop in, I much oblidge do. Then we talk some, and its good we can relate on alot of things. So he's nice and so is his wife and the yonger guy working there (David) he was dropping in an EJ25 into a '04 OB. Mike (owner) said you don't bother replacing HGs on this motor, juts drop a new one in (I'm thinking, he can blow that out his rump roast) other then that everyones cool. I snagged a Rudy colored RX grill, wiring for maplight, 2 EA81 window cranks. -Tom

That just looks BAD rump roast Bill! Damn, got my hopes up and then the big let down. Wrong shocks I'm still diging those stacks! Are they both connected? I assum you would have -Tom

Lol, tomorrow sometime Debating on painting it semi-gloss black, or leaving it the stock deep red color that matches the body? Hmmm. Redcap, way to go! Gotta see this! -Tom

I went back to "Subaru heaven" and bought a few things. I added a RX grill to my wagon! Looks cool! -Tom

Maybe, I dunno. some of these didn't look half bad. These XTs didn't see to rotted nor was the Brat with the cap on it. I did see one EA81 wagon where you could see thru the rocker! But I think people seem to give up on them where they weren't all that bad. Who knows. -Tom

+1 to that. its kinda hard ot get under them if you needed to, most of them the tires have sunken into the ground. Oh well, its his business not mine. -Tom

Oh yea you have the Frankenwagon lol. Yep there are 2 silver ones (Might be another can't remember) but there isn't really any rust on the body (Dunno about the underside since its been sitting in tall grass for who knows how long) What do you need?

Alot of projects I see, I have to see this Outback lift plan. Take pictures when you get there! I like the stacks aswell, I bet they sound b i t c h i n, what are they 4"?

Oh its a EA81, is this in your main rig? I thought you ran a EA82 in it? Hmm, damn the 2nd set of holes was a good idea too. There has to be a better way to fix this then replacing the entire head! What about drilling new holes and threading them? Possable, Dunno if there is room for two new holes? -Tom
