  1. if you're spending any extended period of time on-road, I'd recommend all-terrains, or all-seasons. I run all-seasons, and they tend to cake up in mude easier than I'd like them to, but it hasn't been a problem, yet. liberator all terrains from wal mart are very popular because they're quite good for the price. I run 215-75-15's on my 4" lifted EA82 with just a little bashing, no trimming, I'm sure you could fit these under a 4/3 EA81 with some trimming
  2. nice scores! that shell is sad, is that the one you've been driving? or is it another one? I didn't think that one was in too bad of shape....
  3. I don't even remember you selling it....hmmmm anyway, WELCOME!!!
  4. I'll try to take a close-up pic tonight of my setup, but it's just a Yakima rack, with little flat pieces of scrap metal (happened to be filed down triangles) welded onto the ends, with a hole drilled in them (had to remove the plastic caps...which was a pain). then I bolted the lights through the hole. This was really convenient when it came time to wire them, as with the caps removed, I just pulled a wire through the bar to the other side for the far light. let's see what I can find for pics that's the only one I can find that's very good, I'll take a close-up later this afternoon
  5. fairly often? if you get in a crash with just the automatic shoulder strap, you'll be hung! it's worse than not putting it on at all.
  6. sweet watch the meet/greet forum for an off road event the weekend after thanksgiving....we need more subies to show up also.... join http://www.mnsubaruclub.com
  7. I hate it...but I took a little seminar type thing before the Crawl 4 the Cure, and the guy said to ALWAYS wear your seatbelt when wheeling. that and keep your thumbs out of the wheel, so if you catch a rut, and the wheel spins, you don't break one... I hate it, and am starting to not wear it...I dunno.
  8. I love the leone! I wonder where that front bumper came from....
  9. <<my USMB donor badge should take you to where you want to go
  10. my buddy did it on his newer impreza....little different idea though our overlay is tinted a bit, your yellow one will be more responsive to colored LED's behind it, the green one, probably not so much. The green dash will swap right in....so you can go that route too, by the time I junked my '85, the only things left with the yellow were the fan controls, and rear defroster button, and headlight switch, everything else I replaced with working parts (all happened to be green too)
  11. I'm not sure if anyone's said this....but northguy, I applaud you for your patience, and yet persistence on the matter! despite the time, you haven't given up, nor have you gotton [openly] angry and offensive. Good form!! it's too bad it doesn't seem to be helping.
  12. yep yep...sorry...I meant you get the same effect, despite the fact it's not working the same way
  13. I've got a photobucket account, but I have all my subaru pics in my usmb gallery.... well anyway, the spare on the roof, is just sitting on the roof, I run a ratcheting tie-down strap between the 2 roof rack bars, and then through the spokes of the wheel. It's solid!
  14. My AA bumper's not as sturdy as I'd like, but they know, and will be making them much more beefy. nonetheless, I've yanked more than my fair share of jeeps out of the muck with it, no troubles, I had to plow over a few trees turning around on an ATV trail, and tweaked it a bit, but nothing serious.
  15. pics of the install are on this page and the next: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showgallery.php?cat=500&page=12&sort=1&perpage=12&ppuser=3242&= feel free to use any others from my album, as I blur out my license plate on anything I post on the net: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=3242
  16. this is all true, but typically, in less-than-perfect conditions, like offroading, when one wheel is pushed up, it's opposite it dropped down...therefore getting articulation....in some form or another
  17. yea...AA's been really busy lately, as evidenced by the Xmas group buy thread....I don't think that's going to happen, not if they expect to have everything out by xmas....but yes, it's worth the wait.
  18. yep, we did have it, but it was having problems with the software...when we get the upgrade, we should get that back....whenever that happens...poor shawn
  19. yea...I saw that, don't really like the bull bar part, but the tube bumper would be awesome! I don't really care how you do it, but I don't want gap between the bumper and grill/headlights...and I want a piece down by the bottom of the radiator, with a way to mount the lights down there.
  20. yea, the vacuum lines on the EA82 carbed motors are a nightmare...this is true. the EGR light was on in my '85 too...never bothered with it, and it never seemed to care. I think the tape is a perfectly acceptable solution.
  21. sounds alot like a head gasket, just the part between the compression chamber, and the coolant, that would explain the lack of oil/coolant crossover....any white smoke out the tailpipe? I suppose it could be a cracked head or something, but I've honestly never heard of that happening (doesn't mean it doesn't happen...), but head gaskets are rather common... that many miles?! that's funny....my '88 GL's got 225k, and I plan to drive it for years, as long as I don't get in an accident of some sort. EA82t....will bolt right up, need some exhaust stuff, probably the ECU....I'm not sure exactly these are some of the easiest motors to work on, if you've got moderate to advanced experience, I wouldn't even think about paying someone to do it!
  22. looks better every day!! don't sweat the rubbing, mine rubs alot, even when turning on flat ground, I can't imagine what's going on when I flex it out on the trails, but it isn't damaging my tires, and isn't affecting the performance, so I don't worry about it. I wouldn't recommend adjusting the struts up...that was definately the cause of my CV problems!
