I would love to see pics of other 6" brats, Adam's is the only one I have seen.( and I KNOW how well his works, hard to keep up with!) I liked the "monster wagon" too, but that's more lift than I will ever run on my oun car. If any of U have pics of big lifts (6" or more) post 'em I'd love to see 'em.
-

Dam I'm good:cool: So are they Suby coil-overs or are they off somthin' @ the yard?
-
I would go with 175 or 185/75R13's, snow tires without the studs. They work good on wet roads, and they will work good on the gravel roads too.
-
Hey Adam, am I crazy, or do I see coil-overs on the back?!? I see U went with a front mount fan, sorry the ones I had wouldn't work for ya on the back:( ONLY 3 DAYS LEFT!!!!!!!!!

looking for brushguard design
soobme replied to rallyruss's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Well, Snowman, the guard is all made with 1" x 1" x 3/16" tube that was cut on a 10" miter saw using a cut-off wheel. I used the angle of the headlights to mach the up rights to. then I used 1/8" expanded metal for the grills. The bumper is 4"x2"x3/16" tube cut in the center @ a 5* angle and noched to fit arownd the 2" recever and then welded into 1 pice. I used 4"x1/4" plate to cap the ends. -

Any of you extreme builders want a contract?
soobme replied to mtsmiths's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
What would be much eazyer, and poss. more to your liking. Why not have someone build U a: VW bug pan( U can even get 'glass pan halfs if U want), with a 'glass dune buggy body, powerd by an EA81T or EA82T. It would be RWD, wich with that set up is almost as good as 4WD. Would have Subaru power, and replacment parts should be VERY eazy to come by. U could even have it built with long travel suspention if U want. There are even more 'glass bodys on the market now than there wer 3 or 4 years ago. And Kennedy makes the adaptor to mount the engine on the VW trans. -
I'd pay $20 if U want to part with it:D

soobme replied to a topic in Meet n' Greet. Your USMB Welcome Center
Yup, as close to the center of your rig as U can get. and as high up as U can get. U will need an SWR meeter to tune the antana to the radio, any CB shop can do it for ya( a lot of truck stops too) and they usaly don't charge more than $10. Check with any friends that play with CB's and see if they have an SWR meeter. I sold mine years ago:( -

ATV's use 4-140mm lug patern? ( ATTN:snowman)
soobme replied to soobme's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
12" wheels are the bigest I can find, I don't think they would clear my calipers front and rear:banghead: They sure do have some kick rump roast tires for 'em! 27" Swamper Vampires! -
ATV's use 4-140mm lug patern? ( ATTN:snowman)
soobme replied to soobme's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I know that National Tire&Wheel sells monster tires and wheels for ATV's. I'm thinking of this for a good set of sand tires and wheels. I think I will go check out there site and see what I can find out. -
I'm the one that looked into this last year;) The weight of them is not that big a deal, and at that time they said that they could make me a set of the "little foot" ATV traks with bigger tracks on them & the Subaru lug patern. They give U a 20% gear reduction when U bolt them on due to the drive sporcket being so much smaller than even the little 13" stock tires. So gearing/power is not an issue.( and if U have a DR5spd that would make it even better) Price is the big problem$$$$$$$$$$ BUT, if U can pony up the cash U would have one unstopable Sube! I need to know more about the ATV wheel on a soob, vice verca thing. I will start a new thred.

Uhhhhh...oil in the vacume lines!!!!!!!!!!!!
soobme replied to soobme's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Well the problem is back, and regular now. Every time I get on the boost for more than a second or two, I start blowing blue smoke. It is so thick that it trys to foul out my plugs:eek: Could it be that the turbo is making enough draw on the intake hose ( where I have my pasenger side engine vent hose going to ) that it is SUCKING oil into the turbo/ intake? As I type this it makes sence!! It has not done this for the last 2 days, but this morning I checked my oil and I was 1qt low. I put a quart in, and BLAMO!! I have the oil burn problem agen. It's got to be the case vent going into the intake hose BEFORE the turbo, the vacume line wasent the one with oil in it, it was the intake spiting oil out hte vac. line port under hard boost! -
I don't know what presure the sys. is suposto run at. And I didn't know if the fule pump would just crap out all together, or if presure would start to fall of 1st.
