Well now I betcha you'll understand when I say that the 68XL has the ERF2030 Mosfet final installed with a volted pre-driver and I'm seeing 40watts+ I've thought about a little 2pill kicker but haven't really been bothered with it yet:grin:

Thanks for the heads up Mick! I'll see if I can sneak it past the missus, just put 4 new tires on her Isuzu Trooper so we're a bit strapped at the moment... I guess being cash strapped beats the pants off having to have her winched out of a ditch though!

That gauge pod matches my '82 DL Brat... So assume most EA81's?

CB is Citizen's Band radio, limited by the FCC to 4 watts AM carrier or 12 watts SSB. It's a free to use two way communications (voice only) that transmits in the 27mhz (11m) spectrum between 26.965 and 27.405 mhz with the channels generally spaced 10khz apart. Lots of truckers use them for informal communication, weather reports, road conditions, and general gas bagging. Confusing? Basically it's a form of 2 way communication with reasonably limited range, 50+ miles on a base station, 30+ for a good mobile setup... I use mine to make the 30+ mile commute each day go a bit quicker, a lot of 4x4 groups use them for trail comms...

Approx 193,000

Thanks 85... the button itself is missing, I have to reset it with a pen or toothpick... I still have the rubber grommet and what I assume is the broken off piece of the button though

I have the passenger sliding window open a bit and the cable comes through there. I've got the window hooked closed with a zip tie at the moment, it's open enough to let the cable through, maybe 1/4"... going to figure out something a bit more permanent though probably this weekend. I've got a fuse right at the battery so if any insulation chafes at all then it'll pop there and I won't have any fire

Just installed a CB in my '82 Brat, getting some good reports from 30+ miles out when I'm driving... Uniden PC68XL radio, Power mic, Super Penetrator Magnet mount antenna and a Cobra Highgear external speaker. I've routed power direct from the battery...

Bump... anyone??

The trip meter in my '82 Brat is acting up... I assume something is worn in it somewhere. Every time the .9 digit rolls around the mechanism stops turning and the odometer stops as well. I can reset it using the button and it'll work for another .9 miles (sometimes it'll go further like 1.9, 2.9, 3.9 etc) then it needs to be reset again... Anyone run into this before? Any fix for it? I'm thinking of securing the reset button on the trip meter in the reset position so my odometer stays functional...

The tires are available through Tire Rack... I'm a drooling mess!! http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Sumitomo&tireModel=HTR+200&vehicleSearch=false&partnum=06HR3HTR200&fromCompare1=yes&place=0

yeah, engine could do with a spray down etc. I've got a mate up the road who has a shop and would let me throw it on the hoist to give a good look underneath. Have to sell my wife's current ride b4 we can land her this outback. I was pretty impressed with it though, nice handling, well appointed and comfortable...

1982 Brat, 192,700 1988 GL-10T wag, 132,000

Well she drives nice, needs a new driver's window motor or switch. Heat shield rattles on the exhaust, no TB though, Head gasket appears to have been replaced as has the alt at some point recently. Small bit of rust bubble on the pass. rear wheel arch. Dealer appears to be a bit of a knob though. I called down and talked to one guy, cash price from him was $3000, talked to a different guy when I went in there and he gave me cash price of $3500:-\

Thanks Grossgary, as I said, usually across in the older gen forums so I saw 4EAT and said "I know what that is!"

one more question... the trans in this will be a 4EAT correct? Means worst case I can swap the 4EAT out of my 88GL-10T in? This is looking like a pretty sweet deal...

Head gaskets are well within my reach when it comes to wrenching on a car. I'm heading out to check it out in a bit over an hour, I'll take her for a spin and see what I find out. Thanks chaps!

I'm looking at getting my wife an outback wagon, I'm usually across in the Old Gen forum so I don't have a lot of experience with the newer gen vehicles. The wagon I've found locally is a 1998, dark green, 2.5L, Auto (wife doesn't want a stick) They're asking $3000 cash price for it. Mileage: 174,848 Body Style: Wagon Exterior Color: Green Interior Color: GREY VIN: 4S3BG6853W7631509 Engine: 4 Cylinders Transmission: AUTOMATIC Drivetrain: 4X4 What should I be looking for when I go to check it out today? Does the price seem about right?

I've got a Brat and an '88 GL-10 turbo wagon that is sitting beside my garage looking forlorn... Glad you got yours up and running again, I'm sure it's missed you!

If you're really worried about it I'll take it off your hands just to get it out of your way...

Niiiiice!! Makes me wanna get that '86 hatch that's about an hour away from me...

Step 1. Pop the center cap off your new H style rim Step 2. Open your hood, remove the steel spare Step 3. Put new spare under the hood. Step 4. Stash your center cap in the glove box Weber overhaul? Check out Redline Weber's site for initial set up and here if you need a parts diagram

bonus points for working on a fuel pump with minimal ventilation and the battery connected!

You do know that until you posted that any of us could have licensed them because we "didn't know what we were doing" right? Now we're all screwed... lol Here's the answer I got... Okay, no problem... the price will be less due to shipping if they are going to the Los Angeles area, since they come in through Long Beach. Here are the details for you: In response to your recent mini truck information request here is a breakdown of the details for a shipment of mini trucks from Japan. If you order a container of mini trucks, seven very nice ones can be placed in your container. We use a superior supplier who specializes in mini trucks. Jim, an American friend living in Japan, is our excellent quality mini truck source. Jim is the only one who had his governors officially approved by the EPA. Other suppliers only guess what will work. He and his main Japanese business partner select these better quality mini trucks for our US buyers. Jim's partner has gotten even better at what he does from our feedback since we started with him in 2004. We think you will be pleased too. Numerous suppliers of used mini trucks in Japan have contacted Best Used Tractors in their efforts to market their trucks. We give Jim those contacts, and he visits quite a few of them. He believes that his Japanese partner has trucks that are better on average than any supplier he has visited so far. We tried some other suppliers in Japan, and we were not happy with any of those others. See Jim's trucks at: http://best-used-tractors.com/containpics/trucks/ and http://best-used-tractors.com/containpics/jimstrucks Jim and his Japanese partner back up the mini trucks that they sell through us. The trucks are all gas driven units with manual transmissions. They are all right hand drive. They all have heaters. We currently only sell 4WD units. We sell only the 3 cylinder and 4 cylinder mini trucks. A few have air conditioning. There is no extra charge for units with air when the trucks are ordered in a container from Japan. A smaller number are mini dumps that are more expensive than standard units. Although these units are equipped with everything for public road use in Japan, in the US they can't be licensed for use on public roadways. Each truck we ship comes with an EPA approved governor that eliminates the use of the higher gears. The government will not allow the import of mini trucks without restricting them to lower than 25mph, and only with EPA approved governors. They may be only used off-road here. We have mini truck parts sources within the US, and Best Used Tractors shares our sources with those who buy mini trucks through us. Jim can also supply parts from Japan if some part were not available in the US. If you already need parts, our supplier in Japan has hundreds of parts trucks. He can also supply any needed new parts. Just let us know if you want to buy any parts to include in your container shipment of trucks. Although these mini trucks are 10 to 15 years old, our best supplier has operational units that run better and look sharper than any other suppliers we are aware of in Japan. If something beyond simple improvements needs fixing, then Best Used Tractors and our supplier will help meet your needs with parts and/or money to make it right. Other than that, dealers are expected to do their own replacing of anything like tires, batteries, fluids, and to make any minor repairs or detailing improvements themselves. In other words, Best-Used-Tractors and our supplier will help with more serious problems and the dealers are expected to take care of the basic reconditioning. Jim places boxed new air filters, spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap, rotor, condenser, air filter and oil filter in each truck shipped at no extra cost to you (see above photos links). We are now making it an option to order additional parts in your container order; you can see prices here. CONTAINER ORDERS - OUR BEST PRICE OPTION: A container of seven of these standard 4WD mini trucks, from 1988 to 1998, including the shipping to Los Angeles, CA, cargo insurance, steam cleaning charges, containerizing expenses, Japanese customs charges, and US customs charges - would run $21,800 delivered. This is a mixed container of (3) 1988 -1989 550cc engines and (4) 1990-1998 with the 660cc engine. We also offer an upgrade to the container, in which it would only contain all 660's with the years between 1990-1998 and adds an additional $700 to the price of the container. If you prefer to receive only 660's from 1995-1998 please add $2,100.00 to the base container price. Units from 2000 to 2003 are also available for a higher price. It takes about 8 weeks to receive your container of mini trucks delivered to your location directly from Japan. HIGHER PRICED UNITS AVAILABLE WITHIN THE US: For those who want trucks in one or two weeks we have a mid USA yard where we can provide trucks to you for $4,000.00 each (shipping to your location is separate). We will sell 4 to 10 units at this price level to dealers who need at least some of their trucks in a hurry. A few are available with air at $300.00 extra, and some have dif lock at $100 extra. You can choose your preferred make or makes. Sometimes higher priced extended cabs and deck vans are also available. Just tell us what you want. These trucks are not reconditioned, but they are checked over after landing in the US, so if they find any problems it can be fixed before the units are shipped to you. FREE REFERRAL BUSINESS: We constantly get large numbers of inquiries by those looking for individual mini trucks. We will refer to our mini truck buyers any of those inquiries that are close to you at no extra charge to help you sell your mini trucks even faster than you would on your own. Thank you for your interest, and let me know if you have any other questions.
