What would you recommend with a 4" lift & 15" Pugs? I don't want to give too much power & I don't want to cut or pound anythjng! But the wider the foot of the tire, the better it'll roll on the sand.

Just spoke with my buddy Joe & we're gonna do the trans (& possibly the lift) next week. I'll try to take as many pics as possible but it's tough holding a digital camera with greasy hands!

I was thinking a set of Bridgestone Duelers in a 235/70R/15 or do ya' think I can go BIGGER!?

Just ordered the lift!!!

Got my D/R tranny today! Bought the whole car, an 86 GL wagon, for $300.00. Thinking about doin' a complete tranny swap between the two cars, fixin' all the little BS stuff that's wrong with the 86 & puttin' it up for sale. More to come!

I decided against buying the '86 GL wagon, too much frame rot. I did make him an offer of $200.00 for the car(pretty much scrap price) 'cause all I need is the D/R tranny. He said he think about. Meanwhle I'm gonna keep the Loyale & keep lookin' for a 5 spd. D/R tranny. Thanks for your help guys!!! Ray:cool:

The car runs smooth, has roughly 250K on it,it's a carbed motor(my Loyale is SPFI), it does have a D/R 5 spd. Some of the sub-frame is rotted & I don't know if there's enough good metal left to patch weld it. There's some rust around the wheel wells & the wndshield needs to be sealed (it's currently taped in). The more I think about it, I should just try to get the car for the tranny (which works fine). Anyone know what a working D/R 5 spd. w/ 250k on it is going for? Remember I'm the one who has to pull it! Or, if he doesn't want to part out the tranny, knowing what I've described about the car, what do you think would be a fair offer?

I currently own a 92 Loyale 4x4 (pushbutton), I was about to put a SJR 4" lift on. Now I have a chance to buy an 86 GL wagon(isn't this considered an EA81?) w/dual-range 5 spd.,good condition that may be a better lift project. With all the knowledge & experience on this board, I figured I put up a poll to help me decide on which wagon to build.I don't know the pros & cons between the two cars. Which build would you do?

I'm ordering the lift kit next week. I'll keep you posted.

EA82 4" lift, I'd be interested in one!

I got the adapters from VeeDub so I can use the acorn nuts.

I know this is a little rump roast-backward to get the wheels before the lift but my pugs came in! I SHOULD have the lift in by mid-October.

Thanks Ahole!

yeah,it's a 5-speed push button 4x4

Thanks Bratman!
