I'm gonna use some neoprene roof flashing from the inside. .........

There is nothing hard about it. That's the beauty of this lift...it's cheap and easy. That's why most of the NW Subaru offroad/offroo'd club has them! The only "tricky" part is drilling the holes for the correct offset. Ask one eye, I think it's 15 degrees.

How 'bout the hood of a jeep!?!

Have you had the brat over 65 before? And I'm assuming that you're not going by the speedo, since the gearing is off. Depending on your tire size, it may never go any faster.

T-ROY!!! Looks like you're a lil better off for evans now. If you ever make it back up this way, you've just gotta try the "faceplant hole" again...prob make it fine now!

I'm working on a tow bar/recovery system. The tow bar will fold up, come off, then leave eyebolts on the bumper for shackles.

Thanks for the tips...never been on dunes before. I take it that you're the resident expert on the Lolo pass area. We'll be headed that way from east WA, and I'd like to do some wheelin, if it's not all closed off.

Really nice drawring there, what program is that? I would weld in the studs, so you don't have to access the bolt heads.

Wish I coulda made it! Even though mine's overweight, high-geared, with newer AT's, think I'll try juniper dunes in late sept.

Scott's still at Sand Lake, so I'll answer for him Not too bad, though he did all the welding. Couple of comealongs help a lot I'll just have to build one, now that I know what all to do.

Expensive cat. I'm gonna use some 1" black iron drilled at each end for pins, then 2" square tubing welded in the center with a hitch coupler. Dual purpose...remove the tow bar, and hang some shackles for recovery. I likes it!

We'll need some better close-ups of that glass top too. That pic makes it almost invisible with the angle and the background color!

I had to ditch the stock bumper, being the sad, flimsy POS it was. Here is a later model loyale with the cover and foam off, hammerite black to match the wheels, and some 5/8" eye bolts. I did the corner marker to turn signal mod also, so some foglights can be put in there. The "end supports" don't offer much protection, but I left 'em on anyway. Prob add on some tubing at some point, as well. Any guesses about the other use I have planned for the eye bolts!?!

HA, that one got me too! Someone just voted.

Not true...the other way to do it is to drill out the wheels. Proven by many soob offroaders. I've heard of plastic benderboard being used for cheap fender flairs, but it's not even needed with the right tire/wheel combo.

Can't wait to see pics from the dunes!

Not a bad engine at all...just not quite as good as many other soob engines. Add one weber, turbo exhaust, accel coil with 27" tires and still cruise at 70

You didn't mess up, if that's what it took to remove all the rust. You can treat it, patch it, and it's still gonna come back to haunt you! How about using a good fender from a donor car? You could use it as a mold for fiberglass, or cut it long, and weld or rivet.

I cut about 1/2" long, then used a combo of small vise grip clamps to start the bend and a 3# hammer to finish. Without starting the bend first, the metal will bend wherever it wants to, if you just start hammering. Really, it just takes practice...my first fender isn't as nice as the rest. All look pretty good, from more of a distance: No pics of the rear/rear, covered up nicely with the stock mudflaps. And yes, I know...they still need paint. I'm the real pic whore, Bill!!!

4"SJR, 15" Nissan steels, 215/75R15 grabbers Very little trimming needed, and wouldn't have even needed a hammer, had I not rolled the cuts.

That's Awesome...don't let a little thing like a motor keep it down! EA81?

Pics please. Not sure if you're into making your own lift, or not, but here's some really well designed ones: http://www.sjrlift.com/ The 4" has 3" cross member blocks, giving better ground clearance besides just the bigger tires. No noticeable camber on my rig.

Wow...nice find! You could always not convert the lsd, and just run doughnuts on the rear

Nice search engine!

Yeah, meant the sweet wiring job???
