It does kind of suck when threads about having fun turn into arguments, but a few key pieces of the thread will make it happen every time. First of all, the first picture that was posted has 2 large Hummers, the very kind that most people think are super lame, and secondly your quote of: That is obviously going to stir the pot a little bit. I do apologize for making a comment about the Hummers when I should have said something like "oh that looks like a lot of fun" or something, but again...the first picture:lol:

Same thing:lol: Whaaaaaat? I don't think you can speak like that on a Subaru board!

Haha, exactly what I was thinking!

I'd almost paint that front bumper white to match the rest of the car. It could just be the pictures, but it has that "whole lot of BYPASSING THE CUSS FILTER IS BAD, I'M A BAD PERSON FOR DOING IT!!! missing" up front kind of look. It would show better and it wouldn't have that everyday tube front bumper look. Just a thought, love the lift, car is sweet!

With even lower prices? thank you santa!!

Pretty sure I am in for an EA82 4" kit also. Sweet

The name R2D2 will have to be used somewhere in this project, mainly because his head is sticking out of your hood. And I can't wait to see this thing running, that is crazy!

For some reason I always thought it was single range with selectable 4 wheel or front wheel, or dual range full time. This news pleases me.

I have an 89 GL now, but the 5spd trans was out of a 93 loyale. Sweet, hopefully someday soon I can get started on this car!!

Your Tcase is 4 low, 4 high and front wheel drive? I don't think I knew of that combo. I'm going to have to get me one of those for my super slow build! Do you know if these just bolt up to a 5spd trans?

Nice, what type of beads did you use anyway?

I think I found you, sorry for the horrible pic! Hopefully I wasn't in your way coming around that corner.

Which car were you guys?

Again, I was wrong. I normally browse my normal websites when I wake up and I noticed this post, thought of how much my situation sucked and how problem free I have been with wheel weights and posted. As soon as I posted I started reading about it, noticed that people really like it and it works with the right beads, and then I was going to delete the post but it wouldn't let me and I had to go to work so I said F it. I hardly ever post on any forum, I just read and try to gain knowledge. And I probably don't drive anywhere near as much as most people, and definitely not as much wheeling especially in a Subaru. I wish we had more people around here that were into them as much as a lot of you people, I think they are so damn cool.

Huh? Yea, a post count is a perfect example of someones intelligence. All I went with was my first experience with balancing beads. As soon as I posted, I immediately started researching the idea again. It looks like I had purchased some cheaper quality beads, I read that the ones with a ridge in the center will disintegrate or cause issues within the tire. I kept reading and it looked like everybody has had great experiences with the real beads or a better quality bead. I am still interested as to why my tires would become unbalanced at some highway speeds. Who knows, I might even try it again some day. Does this clear my post up a little? Thanks -Post #10

See above

If you are getting the plastic type airsoft bb's (I think all airsoft bb's are plastic?) I would say DO NOT use airsoft bb's. I poured them in my BFG All terrain 33x15x9.50's and sure at some speeds they were fine but at highway speeds they would unbalance. Plus, they disintegrated after a short time and turned to dust, and wore the inside of the tire slightly. I now don't like the idea of putting anything in my tires, and especially something like steel shot, I could see that really tearing up the inside of a tire. A competent tire shop should be able to balance those, they are only 29" tires!!! Don't even bother with the airsoft or you are going to regret it heavily!!!!!!!

I love watching the Mustang. I go to the LSPR every year to watch, I'm sure I'll see you guys there!

Looks very good, pictures like these push me even harder to get my wagon on the road.

Whoever mentioned 3/16 punch I would like to thank. I went to Menards, found the 3/16 punches and grabbed a couple and noticed they were different sizes. GREAT. So I bought the one that looked larger, and have punched I think 6 pins out with EASE. THANK YOU

Good GOD that is one nasty looking rig, I think I like it! I'm almost in the process of building my new car, an 89 GL wagon. I don't think it will be that big....but who knows! Looking forward to more pics....

Greetings, the following is a graphic tale told by my former 1993 Loyale wagon. I have been removing all parts I wanted/needed to swap into my lovely new 1989 GL wagon! I picked up this 93 Loyale on a trade from my buddy for a rusted to hell Toyota pickup I owned at the time. I had rescued the truck from the woods on somebodys property, fixed it, gave it back to them, they drove it for awhile and then it needed lots of work so they gave it back to me. This is how it was being driven, no interior whatsoever, gauges zip tied to a custom piece of bent tubing. A friend of a friend was heavily into Toyota trucks, and one day while joking with each other they had the idea that I would want to trade the Truck for his Subaru. The truck needed all new brakes and it was just sitting in the road not able to be driven so I said what the heck! This Loyale wagon was pretty rusty, and its brakes too were soft but at a point during the pedal travel they would stop the car cold. Deal done Not quite sure what to do with my first EVER car, I immediately transfered the title, insured and plated it and so began my Subaru love. Damn this thing is fun, 5spd with push button 4X4 that worked! I couldn't wait tilll winter. I couldn't drive it with the way it looked, so semi flat black was painted over the green, rust holes were patched with fiberglass, and I tried cleaning it up a bit and try to prevent further rust....but no....it was ungodly rusted. The whole rear end fell apart as I tried to remove the rear bumper, a huge pile of rust on the ground as I beat it to oblivion. So no rear bumper, kind of looks clean and maybe it could use a roll pan or something. Months go by and instead of blabbing on and on, here is what happend recently. The brakes were failing rapidly, and one night I decided to rally a dirt road at night with a friend. Him in his jeep, me in the Loyale. Only the right front brake on the car was working, and I told people I was going to crash the car....to shorten up the story I came into a corner that looked tight and got on the "brake" too much, pulled the car into the bank and flipped it on its roof, I am hanging from the seatbelts.....ohh my. Completely unhurt, and not really an unexpected event in a really sh1tty car I hardly cared, but wanted to get the car on its wheels real quick. The jeep pulled the car over with no effort. After cranking for a little bit it fired right up, windshield spidered to hell because I think my recovery shackled hit it during the roll. I gave up driving it, and purchased this beauty just one week ago. This will hopefully house a lift kit, 15" pugs, some kind of all terrain tire 27" or so. Over the last week I worked on trearing the old car completely apart in a TINY GARAGE!::::::: The windshield wasn't that bad after the roll, I beat it while I was tearing parts out of it. The front end came out first, followed by the rear. Having a tiny garage made it very difficult. I had the car in precarious situations at times, shoving whatever I had to keep it off the ground to remove the drivetrain. Of course I had jackstands but I also used tires/wheels from my truck, my floor jack and some other crap. Today I had everything removed and had to get the car to the floor. Floor jack, hi lift jack, pushing, pulling....finally I gave up and winched it with my truck until it just fell off of everything Then the removal from garage! How the hell am I going to get this out of the garage, 2 pieces sounds like a good idea, one piece at a time on the tow dolly. I better use sawzall so I don't ignite the fuel spill! Cut in roof Cut in floor! The rear end winched out of the garage and onto the dolly, FINALLY! I will keep posting if my project dreams come true, I need to find pugs, lift kit, get some motivation do some brake work and drivetrain work and....! It will be awesome..
