Oh, yes pretty much the same thing that it says on the can "Only time wil take it off your skin" I've been there alot Lol.. I wouldn't worry about how hot this stuff is, the metel ready and the marine clean doesn't burn either (Unless you get it in your eye) been there too. oh and don't breath in the fine mist when you spray the cleaners/metel ready (Burns like bleach in your lungs) and I have asthma, so it'll clear the crap out of ur lungs Lol! The Metel ready eatchs into the metel giving the POR something to bond to. -Tom

I beleive the off-sets are the same. only pug wheel that maybe be diffrent is the steel 504 (The odd rim) Other then that I think they are all the same.

the 2" SJR is the cheepest (Let alone making your own) that I've seen. -Tom PS: if you are thinking of lifting yours sometime, I would keep soaking all the bolts with Seafoam from time to time, so when you do want to remove them it will be alot easier (Its what I've been doing since I got the car in '06) I lube any bolts I can get to (Plus it keeps them from rusting more) Just an idea.

Cool good luck! Cut? As is water down? Or remove the POR-15? (Maybe I'm slow Lol)

Briggs, thank you too. Now all I need is a rear bumper with D-rings, trailer hitch cupler and spair tire swing arm! like what Scott makes, but would have a cutout/coved in area for the tail pipe. HTi was talking about changing the rear bumpers they make (With all that stuff on them) so it does have a area for the tail pipe, other wise you need to mod the pipe Oh yea, I also need another pug with round holes so I have a spare.

Well, it didn't burn off when I heated the hell out of those rear strut bolts (3 times with a propane torch) I think its pretty much heat/fire resistent Good luck

Well the fuel system on the EA82/Loyale is not vaccum. Meaning it can run with out the gas cap. some vehicles now days have that, if the cap is not on the system can not build pressure and will not run. But if you listen when you take the cap off after you've been driving, you will hear a vaccum suck (Like opening a soda bottle) so that would mean theres some pressure in the system, and from what I remember seeing on my stock subaru cap, there are no vents. so I would say (Vaccum) is your choice. Not 100% but pretty sure -Tom

It can take some rubbing ect.. but it will still come off with you hitting rocks and crap lol. Good stuff though! also to help protect the POR-15. I sprayed gloss black paint over it (Just for more protection Hehe) -Tom:)

Lol, SO now I have to come to IA next year hmm? it was $300 with shipping, whats funny is the shipping cost was $9 (said on box) but it says on SJR.com that $20 will be needed for shipping :-\ Lol but I don't care, just something I noticed. -Tom

Thank you all! Rob, yea like Jeff said I need a D/R 5spd (its a 3spd now) that would rock though! Diablo, Oh do I wish.. I don't know where I can get some action shots, I would like to go trail riding with other Soob people but their arn't many in WI Bill, Yea I was suppried when I first got the new wheels. and now it just looks more proportioned, plus the rear wheels don't hit anymore! Hope you get the Beast going again soon! Jeff, yes +1 indeed! The car does have some small dents (Dings, I guess) But thank you Flyboy, I used POR-15 on the rear wheel wells. I cleaned them down to almost bare metel and then applied it (Seems to work) I need to finish the entire underside and the front wells someday. I also need paint for my front fenders (Again) its been flaking off Brian, Thank you. yes I feel more confident now. Its not that I wasn't, its just I never did this before and ya know lol. I mean I did t-belts/oil pump/cam seals a year ago. So I have confidence, I'm just happy no bolts broke doing the lift, the real scare was the rear bolts (They screw into a block welded onto the well) if the bolts break them I'm, well you know. Again thanks for all the comments, Its awesome driving a lifted Subaru. a car full of kids were talking to me tonight at Wally world. One asked if I had a lift Lol (I said yea, 2") he said cool.. And damn, everyone I drive past look at me But its fun -Tom

Alrightyroo!! Here are pictures! you ask for them you got them, I can't stop posting pics lol.. Front Lift: Front with blocks inplace. Back on the ground! OK rear lift: I turned the entire shock around, not just the top bracket (Didn't want to touch the bolt on top of the shock. Plates inplace, but loose. And now for the whole car! 12" under rear diff. There, Sorry I didn't get better pictures. I'll go on a B-class road soon and take some picutres. I'm really happy I got it all done, Thanks to the people on here and my Dad for holding and pushing when needed! -Tom

I know, I sorry guys I'll move my rump roast Haha! Bill, c'mon do ya have any new pictures of it? Oh well its always good to look at Scott, yea you have a picture of the white one on your site. Looks cool. Ooo D-rings!! btw, that red/maroon wagon looks like Jeff's? Alrighty, I'll get going a get som pictures upload and posted. give me a few hours Lol. -Tom

Yes, Red and Black work well! No I think holloweeny would be orange and black Lol. Kylon will stick to metel and be durable enough? I would at least use Rustolium. and for the gloss, hell get thier Clear coat as well (All cheep and at wal-mart) The clear will help protect the paint from rocks ect.. Best'o luck. -Tom

If anyone wants to post pictures and discriptions of their lifted EA82s or any lifted Soobs, while waiting for my pics, go right ahead. I love seeing lifted Roos! -Tom

You'll all get whats coming to ya! "Muhahahaaaa!"

Lol thats cool! I would upload them tonight, but I'm beat (Got up at 9am) I am not really a morning person (Unless I stay up Hehe) I've been wenchin' on the since 11am till 3pm. and I took it to work!! Been riving a '99 Blazer for the past week. Its not bad, but its not a Subaru. I like pulling up/parking next to Civics and such Haha! I even make some SUVs look low. I have exactly 12" under the rear diff now (have picture to prove it) I dunno what the center or front is (Most likly more) Anyhoo I have a life like we all do, and its six letters *Subaru* -Tom

Hmm, I don't remember lol. The last time they were connected was in 2006. So I don't know Lol.

Well it took a week, but today I just finished the rear and now the lift is complete, I am sooo happy! Looks good, my rear wheels don't hit anymore and alot of people look now Lol! It also rides a bit better, it floats over the smaller bumps/cracks now (I think the lift brackets are taking more of the impact before it reachs the subframe/strut towers) So very nice indeed! I will post up the picture sometime tomorrow, I have some of during the build and after. I have to get out on a dead road and take some good pictures. Cheers, -Tom

Don't beleive so, the clicking comes from the engine bay. $0.02 -Tom

Ok, so that means Autozone is out of the picture (Hehe) I would beleive that all the older gen soob wheel studs are the same length, I will pound one out and take it with me. Thanks guys!

Thank you! Maybe I'll rig up a snorkel some day, I'd like a bull bar first (Like the ones ppl put on EA82s in AU) replaces the entire front bumper. I only find sites that are ".AU" I guess they don't sell things like that in the U.S fo Subarus. Thanks again!

Does anyone know if an auto parts store (Partshut, Car quest, Autozone, Checker) would have the wheel studs? I broke one today (I think the lug was the culprit) I dunno how long the stock studs are? I hope I don't need to go to the stealer, they would prolly have to Special Order it :\ Also are these just pressed in or are they the strange type that screw in? -Tom

Oh thats not bad for new, I was looking at some a last year (Just glancing) and the ones I found were $120! thanks for the info!

Oh thats no worse then running Seafoam thru the air intake and smoking out naybors on a hot summers day (Oops, Sorry!!) Hahaha! -Tom
