The Dude Abides

HOORAY HOORAY HOORAY!!!! You're notice is here for MudCoast! That's right--no more guessing when the Road Rally team is going to call it.... we told you we'd give you 48 hours notice--well.... we're doubling that! SO. Go to http://www.roadrallycharities.com and REGISTER for MUDCOAST. This is a FREE event! We'll be meeting for breakfast at Waveland Cafe near the Fairgrounds on the EAST SIDE. We'll be there around 9:00am. We'll be setting out on our MudCoast adventure at 10:30am. YOU MUST BE THERE BY 10:30!!! The ship sets sail... we're no waiting... no matter how many of the Road Rally cell phones you know--we're outta there!!! There will be 3 awards for this year's MudCoast. The "No Prayer to Finish" AWARD If you bring you're Neon with Blizzaks you'll definitely qualify for this award The "Good Samaritan" AWARD You qualify for this award, even though you're mocking the Neon because you're in your Series III Land Rover. But your heart softens when you see that Neon/Blizzak set up up to its axles in mud and you wench them out... You are... a Good Samaritan. The "Dirtiest Vehicle" AWARD While the Series III is wenching out the Neon, you decide to wreak havoc on the Level B road and shoot mud everywhere... and you qualify for the dirtiest vehicle award. However, you shoot all that mud on the Neon. So most likely, if not careful, the Neon goes away with 2 awards that day. We'll be getting back into town later afternoon on Saturday. The dirtier the better. If you want anyone to meet up with us, we'll be finishing at our favorite place in town--Skybox Lounge. We'll be presenting awards, watching raw video, and sharing pictures from the day at 6:00pm sharp at Skybox Lounge. THIS EVENT IS FREE!!!!! So come out and enjoy a crazy day in the beautiful world of Level Bs. BUT WE CANNOT STRESS--THESE ARE "ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK" ROADS. WE ARE NOT LIABLE. WE PROBABLY WON'T HAVE ANYTHING OTHER THAN OUR OWN WENCHES. YOU MAY HAVE TO CALL A TOW TRUCK. THEY DON'T LIKE IT WHEN WE DO THIS. THEY LIKE TO CHARGE LOTS WHEN WE GET STUCK! SO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE, AND KNOW THIS EVENT. NO WHINERS WHEN YOU GET STUCK. ONLY LOTS OF SMILES AND LAUGHS! This is NOT a speed event. In fact, sometimes the slower the better. Your goal is to take lots of pictures, to finish the course, and to make it back to Skybox to share stories and see who won the awards. Go to http://www.roadrallycharities.com and sign up today. See you Saturday morning!!! Ryan & Kevin & Dan & Julia & Jeff & Susan & Eric & Jason & Steve @ Road Rally Charities Ok Iowa or anyone who can and wants to come guys. Mud Coast Run, i am attending. Now if someone wants to ride with me koo or bring your own rig. Brent, Dennis, Mick cummon guys you know you want to do this.

Did you have any rubbing issues, what size tire did you run. Looks like a blast.

Whats the size of your lift scooby.

welcome welcome welcome. Be glad you didnt get the auto. These are fun little cars expecially with the 4wd. Will blow your truck away in the winter. Check previous maintence with the previous owners but these vehicles like mostly stock components. NGK plugs and wires. Factory caps and rotors. Soon youll be looking into a disc swap and EJ motors. We like to see pictures so POST EM.

I thought i heard from gd that the electric fans came with all cars but when you had AC the factory added a clutch fan.

Someone recomended to me to reglue the braces to the roof useing liquid nails.

Did you remove the old vinal headliner before you put the new one on, or was that just glue and go.

Manual windows, Non painted bumpers, Looks like a DL to me. It has the same seats i have in my dl.

I like the look of the dual electric fans. Just one more mod ill do this summer. Also from what im told. The electric fan is stock and the clutch fan is used for Ac.

Removed bumper and trim. Sanding with 200, 400, and 600. Plus wire brushes. Going to pick up some rust bullet after i get this baby to bare metal. Pictures soon to follow.

I keep looking at this picture and say go ahead ben do it. The car is named after you so its karma. Do it ben, lift your subaru.

I RULE:grin:

I swear to god i had the idea for the white out pen before it was invented. I couldnt come up with a patent so i gave up. 2 years latter look what comes rolling out.

Could someone please donate this man a new front end for his car. Start buy painting those brown doors silver. Then take some wheel paint and make them all 1 color. Get a front end on then i will say youve done something. Keep your chin up man.

My favorite is i find the socket i need but cant find the wrench to turn it. So i shove a flathead screwdriver in there to get the job done. Im sure others have done more, but thats one tool ive made.

I wonder if your neighbors think youve got a chop shop running over there.

If i had another wagon i would do this lift tire combo. Looks good and no cutting.

How much.

Check out the Ebay/Craigslist portion in forsale section.

The one on my old parts wagon had the same gauges. Yours isnt the white rhino, sometimes they just came with those gauges.

Pretty sure thats the light i have.

Now that youve got it running properly we can discuss the 5speed 4wd swap. Yes it can be done, and yes you should do it.

absolutely ashamed at you connie, whats a thread without pictures.

Common problem. Blower resistor block. Do a search and you will get all the info you need. I only have the last 2 speeds on mine but i havent found a good one to replace it with.

I was skeptical about these cars at first but i have 200k on mine and it still works good. The typical thing about these cars is that they get eaten up buy rust pretty good. Keep that in check and keep up on the maintence and you should be fine. These are great cars and the 4wd system is better then the yotas only because you have the dual range option if your so equiped. Even if you have single range its great in the snow and mud.
