Cool. What year forrester, or does it matter? And do you think it would be the same for ea81's?

That'd be cool too. But then it wouldn't be all subaru. That might not be a bad idea though as well. has anyone done anything like that as well?

I am now going to have to drain my gas tank I believe, because I was out wheeling today and the Brat "ran out of gas" after syphoning some out of a buddies car, and getting the Brat to a station, I "filled" the car only to put 4.7 gallons in. The car had been sitting for a while so maybe the lines all gunked up. What is the best way to drain the tank, and what should I use to catch the gas? Thanks.

As I have these same fender flares, I would LOVE some closer shots of the flares where they meet at the doors. I would also like a closer image of the rears where they meet at the sidestep. I'm not too worried at the rears though as I had a friend weld out the steps and weld them back in closer to the doors. Can you also get pics of how you cut the flare around the gas door? I'd appreciate it a lot.

A buddy of mine is building a lift kit for his Brat and I was wondering who has done the outback steering extension with their lifts, and what size it works with. Any info would be appreciated.

Yeah it might look good if you could find one of those Brat wings for sale! I know that the metal wings for Gen II wagons would fit PERFECT on the topper of a Brat though, I might have to try that.

Has anyone incoporated their topper into their wheeler on their Brats? I got thinking today that it might be cool to have a roof rack or something built onto the topper so that you wouldn't clutter the bed with spare parts and stuff. Anyone got pics of anything like this? Any ideas on what could be done with it?

Lumpycam did it to his 79 Brat. Contact him with any info about the swap. If you think its too hard for you THEN try the ej22 swap, but its up to you.

yeah I've said my share too. No hard feelins. Yeah welcome to the board! Sorry to get all off topic up in here!

well that's all well and good, but he didn't ask how to swap an ej22 into it. If he wants to try to put a v-6 into his soob, the guy to talk to would be lumpycam. If he talks to lumpycam and then figures it's too hard or is too much trouble, maybe THEN he'll ask about an ej22 swap. It just irks me a little when people ask for one thing and get a whole bunch of replys about another. I mean ABSOULUTELY NO offense 75subie, just giving my .02 cents.

Dang. Maybe he doesn't WANT an ej22. Try contacting Lumpycam, I believe he had a v-6 in his lifted 79 Brat. He'd be the one to talk to.

That was great! Seeing that soob just drop into nowhere was funny stuff.

Well that sucks. Oh well, maybe it'll snow when you next get up here. Oh, by the way, we HAD SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!! :lol: sorry, I HAD to rub it in there! It wasn't actually all that great, I ran the Brat out of gas AGAIN, I though I had more, but guess not.

Thanks Ken. Sounds like you had fun. Yeah I wouldn't THINK about it alone.

Darn guys, you missed out. Here's a few pics of the Brat, J has some pics of his wagon.

Ok here's some REAL flex of the brat:

Yeah, GREAT video! What kind of spare parts did you guys bring with? I've been reading up on what you did, and it seems you bent a couple of struts and 3 or 4 axles. What else would you suggest someone brings with? It's cool I might have to try it sometime, as I live about an hour and a half from the trailhead.

yeah but its gone now. Too nice of a day today for any to be left. I'll be there at PnP at 10, but might have to go to Carson as well, I was informed of a Brat being there and could maybe use some parts from that as well. I'll check back later, but 10 it is.

Lookin good! What size tires?

Ditto that!! ??

10 it is at PnP. And you can always syphon the gas out of the wagon that you put in if you need it! Or I could chip in and give ya gas money as you ALWAYS seem to end up this way instead of all of us down there.

Thank You Zap!

Wait up! When the rest of us caravan up there, do it then! I'd want to do it for sure. Hrm, might not be too fun without doors though. For sure though, that'd be cool driving as far as you could North.

Here you go Jerry: The Hatchbrat:

And gen 1 rollbars won't work either. Neither will the seat headrest pillars, they're too short.
