Morgan made this for his wagon:

<<my USMB donor badge should take you to where you want to go

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)

incredible motors/cars arent they!?

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.

yep yep...sorry...I meant you get the same effect, despite the fact it's not working the same way

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!

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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!

something like this? or did you want it full-width? I tried that, but that covers up the corner markers, which means I'll have to work the turn signals into the bumper.... quite honestly, I wouldn't want the bullbar, but if this get's the ball rolling on AA's side, that's awesome only problem is, if AA's going to tube bumper's, I'm not sure how this would all fit into that. I really like the bumper I've got on the rear, and want something like it on the front boy, I wish shadyirishmen would chime in with that's new in the AA shop these days. that would be really helpful

yea, true, Austin is a god... however, my first time up there....also first time in a lifted subie, and first time doing any even remotely serious offroading....I went down that same spot, no spectacular pics, but I lifted my back wheel some too. that TJ dropped it's front wheel off into space, and it just spun. Austin and I were talking about the center diff some, it did seem to send power to whereever needed it, never had any problem.....I dunno I too am figuring out, quickly, how much more important picking a line is than pure vehicle capability. My buddy in his rwd ranger followed me down an ATV trail at another buddies farm, and when it got gnarly, he had me turn it around and get it out. that was interesting, and kinda fun!

ok, so jeeps have more flex than we do....duh....what's your point? it doesn't make them a more capable vehicle, not by much. It's the aftermarket support, and budget of the owners that makes them better. lockers, really nice suspension, etc. is what makes them better. I watched a stock TJ, with disconnected sway bar, struggle on this ridge, with all four wheels on the ground. Austin walked down it, with a little scare of course, but no trouble, and he's got 3 open diffs: I can't tell you how many times I've watched a jeep goin through an obstacle, and spin wheels and get beached, before lifting wheels, subies just lift up a rear wheel, and pull through from the front (and a little from the rear if it's got posi...). Peter, I know it wasn't an attack, but nonetheless, subarus have articulation, and it is important, and there are things you can do to make it better, thus we have a thread where we can compare how much articulation we have, and how to get more. We're never going to compete with anything with solid axles on a flex ramp, but it doesn't mean we're not capable. [/rant]

here's the latest: it's just my rear bumper, with another D-ring. Then added the bottom pieces, foglights, and the new AA skidplate.

the only reason I haven't removed the knuckle, is I don't have a puller to dissasemble the tie rod, and if this one is anywhere near as difficult as my '85 was....I just don't want to mess with it I did take the control arm loose from the xmember, removed the axle (obviously), and pull the shock out of the knuckle, so it's pretty loose, but I didn't want to mess with the tie rod....I guess I'll try that tomorrow.

let's do what we can, even though the options are rather limited http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9900937/

blah blah blah :-p thanks morgan...at least I know I was doing it right

so I'm in the process of trying to replace the front wheel bearings on my wagon, and it's giving me hell...I'm doin the passenger side, and it just won't come apart! I got the outer oil seal off, and everything else is stuck. the inner seal is just falling apart, but still won't come out, and I can't even get the bearings to budge (I was thinking maybe if I tapped 'em out a bit, the seal might come out easier). Anyway, this if my first time doin this, so it's quite possible I've got something wrong....any ideas?
