Yo'J

Do I see you around northgate? I got a spare for you but its not a jackman, just a steelie. PM me if you like. Nice ride man!

Tacoma screw wasn't bad. I had to get one from ace hardware that ended up being way over the top expensive.

I need to post pics bad but I put 235/70r14s on mine with not so much trimming, only in the front. They measure 26.5" or 27 " off the ground. The bashing is what I've noticed. I had to bash the seam weld behind the fronts flat and trim the rest. That sucks. No room for front mud flaps. I paint what I bash, and bash whats not painted ! I have a 2" lift on a 82 wagon.

I'm only offended I don't have your front bumper! looks very pro! A lift on the early models looks like a subaru grown up! Yours follow suit.

Keep it or sell it on the board!

Campagnolo would look real cool.......Have you seen some of thosesetups? I just gotta throw in some bike stuff!

The spring rates are 196 for both...... Makes sense. Hmm, well I look funny too! Maybe I was looking at the legacies. No wonder I bounce! Is there a chart, say, for ea81s and what they are supposed to be?

Yes

That is really a cool idear.... Just think of a ea82 with bike gears and chain running the thing no covers all cleaned. It would never hold up (????) and hard to time, but it would be art. Soobart!

Search for the instructions here on the board. You might have the parts in your bin already. Its just hoses and t fittings if I remember right.

Someone posted a chart here once about that. I cant find it now but if memory serves me the spring rates are way different. The 2wd has a lower spring rate. Its like 145lbs to 125lbs for the 2wd. My 82' wagon has the 4wd coilovers and it bounces when the rear is empty (I have no rear seats) but it drives like a loyale with a full load of tools in the back. Fortunately I drive with a load most often.

Like 5" +

All the axle booties, ball joints, bushings and bearings, most easy wear parts are twenty dollar parts and are a 2hr fix if your beer doesn't get in the way. Steering racks, suspension new, engines and trannys, diffs and major parts run $200 to $300 new or low mile. Of course you can get carried away there. Sure some things are $40 like new brake pads or used axles but a low mile motor can get you to 500,000 if all the other parts have been weekended out. Retire the rusty when you hear the tinkle (of rust) when you feel the sway(of the body flexing under your seat when you corner or just get in:lol:)! Just like an old VW Bug!

You didn't tell us where it was!!!

Some of the tank lines could be in the wrong order or backwards. If you just got it, there is a one way valve on one of them, if one got re-installed incorrectly, like when the engine bay fuel filter was replaced, it would not depressurize your tank. Its on one of those little short hoses around there. One of my old hitachi carbs ( car came with three and I had two) wouldn't breathe through the canister until I replaced all the lines on it, as well. Ran great when it was off. Its how I got it home:lol:! Smoked a little.... a weber took care of that for the final fix. (Cant blame the PO guy for trying.)

BREATH! Its gonna work! You know it will. It might just be waiting for the sun....

Aluminum you can cut with a carbide wood saw blade, you can cut heavy sheets on a table saw and really, you could do the project in your wood shop if you have a stable enough saw with a slide jig and outfeed table. It would take a few hours for jig building out of scrap wood and a few passes but the housing would be pretty close to perfect. It would need some cleanup, but not much. If you had a variable speed router with good horse and slow speeds you could fab up a wooden end mill jig and smooth out your sawzall cuts if you went the junkyard route. Fresh sheet stock would be better, whatever you choose, but aluminum you can cut like wood, sort of. Your labor vs. someone else. I bought an sjr, way faster! You pay to play, one way or the other! Just takes some brain:burnout: Powwah! And OCD:lol:

Now isn't that nice to hear!!!!

Don't re-use old bolts. They have been through enough hot and cold to re temper them. Especially if they were over tightened.

Gas or brake! What is the "heck" for? What other option is there?:lol:

Did you get it out? Some insurance will pay for damages if you say you parked it there. (I'm fighting insurance now). I'm not being mean. I would like to know. The ridicule comes from unpreparedness, there is wisdom in it. We are only young once thank god.

After MY first six tries doing the timing belts, right from the manual, I finally got it right. One tooth off. Now I can do a belt on the side of the road in less than four hours with water runs and keeping the covers on.

I've been looking all month for a brat here, Nice work! Got plans for that thing?

They want to give me an insurance quote and spam me with ads and all I want is a breakdown of the rear bearings and a write up like the real folk here give on how to change them out. Any one know? I'll keep looking....

I've got to do my donors 90 auto wiring cut down soon, I wish I could watch to get the hang.
