Been searching the forums and all over the internet in general with no luck. Thanks in advance.

I have a set of 215/75/15's on my wagon which you know Scott.
Here's my review:
Rain: Have to go with Zap - even with the old EA they spun pretty easily even from a rolling start without dumping the clutch
Mud: Fair to ok - we have a differnent mud than they have on the east side, do fine in our mud, do crappy in the eastside sticky mud
Snow: Depends - West side snow they do ok (I had them on our run up past the brewery, I couldn't cut trail as well as you guys with the MT's), east side dry snow, excellent!
Dry pavement: Good: quiet, good wear.
Overall, They are like an Enduro, not nearly as good as a street bike on the street, or a dirt bike off road, but its the fact that you can attempt both. They are good for a daily driver that you will take on logging roads, camping, down to the river, places that you plan on going and making it back by yourself.
I have a set on my Tundra, live on the east side of WA, and agree with the above review, but I will say they wear on the outside edge easily, and every Tundra I have seen with them on has the same problem. Sidewalls are weak and the tires tend to roll to the outside edge a little when cornering. Now this might not be a concern at all for lighter vehicles then a 4 door, 4wd Tundra, but I thought I would pass it on.

well i bought my 88 DL for 250 and the only thing that was wrong was no gas and a bad starter. if it was me i wouldnt pay more than 800 but thats me, i can be pretty cheap.
Well I would be shooting for a "low" mileage, rust free car, I am guessing that would drive the price up more.
-
Preferably one with no real work to be done on it. Just a stock 5 speed 4wd car that is nice and road worthy.

Here's my idea, pull a motorcycle camper trailer! Most use the same type of hitch setup and a lot of the websites include the fact that they are good behind smaller cars. Here are a few examples for starters.

Be careful, Next thing you know you'll have 10 or 12 or them. That's what happened to me.

No room for that many, we barely have room for a 4 door Tundra and 2 motorcycles now!

my wife thinks a good idea to buy a second, nicer, one!

I have some time this weekend, Saturday or even better yet, Sunday.

anyone in and around spokane/cda should get together sometime soon. there are more soob freaks out here in the pnw than we know... 509 671 3439 ROGER-
if you need help with anything let me know, and if anyone knows of a local ea82T block that is GOOD let me know, I need it ASAP.
I don't know where a good block is, but I say lets figure it out and meet up! My sube is no where near ready for wheeling at this point, but we can still get together to wrench, or bs or whatever.
-
Thanks for the input, I am gonna call around some more, but so far it hasn't been promising.
For the record, I searched numerous different strings of words and got stuff that wasn't even related to windshields at all.
-
So I need to replace the windshield on my wagon. Never done it before, but it doesn't look too difficult to do. I have access to a cold knife, and the local pull and save has a few subes and only charges $22 for a windshield. Is it worth my time to do myself? Is it tougher then it looks? Glass places want over $200 to do it and not carrying full coverage on the car.

haha i dont have a problem with people comin to watch. but my dad might. and thats a big concern since i still live at home but maybe i will get the car port for a day or two. i plan on pullin the motor like uh around may 10th prolly
doubt it though.If it works out, great. If not, no worries. Being a dad myself, I totally understand.
-
well my clutch is starting to go too. and since i will have some extra money layin around i was just gonna pull the motor replace the clutch and re seal. but i was just wonderin if i should do the HG's too. with help i have pulled a motor out of a xt in about 2 hours.
I need to do my clutch as well....yeah I know, shameless dropping of the inviting myself to check out your working on yours.
-
Can't answer the question cause I am completely ignorant on the subject but, if you are doing it in the semi near future and wouldn't mind, I would love to see what you are doing so I could learn a thing or ten. I can bring beer, cigars and offer to be a gofer for tools and bring over my sube for your laughing enjoyment if nothing else.

Not in your area, but check out http://www.usajobs.com/ unless you you are adverse to working for the gov't. It's got a great search for jobs all over the world, and you can even set it up so it will notify you every week of new jobs in your area. Good luck.

No, they were just sitting there. Cool, I will do that. Although my sub is drivable, it needs some work to really be right. It gets around town ok for the most part.
-
After reading this thread I was a bit nervous to do this to my "new" subie, but I did and I cannot believe how much smoke poured out of the exhaust! It looked like it was on fire, after about 10 minutes it finally stopped an seems to run better. I only ever put this stuff in my motorcycle fuel before this.
-
Don't know if this is the right place or not for this.
Anyway, I was heading home from a short ride on my motorcycle(yeah I know it's too freaking cold in Spokane right now) and saw 4 wagons in the front yard/driveway of a house maybe a mile from my house. Guess I am just wondering if it's anyone here? I would love to meet up with any of the locals and suck your brains dry of subie knowledge over a beer or beverage of choice.

how do you get these stupid pics to show up instead of posting a a link arrggggg
There is a little icon for inserting a picture. You need to use the "direct link" one, not the "email IM" one that you used.

There is a little icon for inserting a picture, it looks like a little mountain and sun or some such.

well anyways
im up in Rathdrum
not much goin on up here
Couple of my motorcycle riding buddies live in Rathdrum. Probably would have been better off buying the $1300 one. Likely mine will end up being that much!
-
Thanks GD, I will keep it in mind next time around. For now I am just gonna stick this out and hopefully it doesn't go down a road of too much output of money.

which yard is this?
thanks
chris
Guessing he means the pull and save right next to Spaldings just off I-90. 10414 E. KNOX - SPOKANE is the address of pull and save.
What year headlights will fit my 86 GL wagon?

Thanks for the advice, hitting the pull and save this week and if they have any, I am all over them, plus some other items.
