I could use a bj right now... you wanna share some of those tips with my fiance?:banana:

Sold the GL-10 to a buddy of mine. He's gonna replace the tranny and do a few engine mods. He builds his own turbo setups, so I have a feeling that the GL-10 went to a good home.

Sold my wheels today. Galen (a.k.a. carfreak85) picked them up. He's a nice guy!

Took off the 13" Enkeis. Now they're sitting in the garage, waiting for carfreak85 to pick them up. The GL-10 lost just about all of its cool factor now that the stock subie wheels are back on.

i have hook ups in the auto repair industry and i can get all my labor done for free by an ASE certified mechanic, so i probably will just go and get a transmission and have it installed for free. I forgot about my connections I now have available. And after that, probably sell it anyways and just get an Impreza

My GL-10. 1988, AWD, needs a new auto trans, 121k miles. Good condition body, sun damaged paint on roof, good interior, 13" gold Enkei wheels. Maroon in color. I'm gonna put a craigslist ad up as well as try and sell it to a buddy of mine who wants a project car like that. But with the tranny like it is, what do you guys think I could get for it? KBB says $1800 w/ a good transmission, but that seems steep, even if it was driveable.

auto. I might actually just buy another Subie that's got the 5 spd, swap the EA82T motor into it, and put the Gold Enkeis onto it and just use the GL-10 as a parts car. It gives me an excuse to get a 5MT subie wagon.

Blew up the GL-10's transmission tonight. Fortunately, I was in front of my ex gf's house when it happened (i knew she was nothing but bad luck) and i could use her phone to call AAA and get it towed back. There will be a carnage report in the coming days.

Let's see, did a few things, actually. 1.) Cleaned the brake dust off my front wheels finally. They're actually gold now! 2.) Just about hit a deer on my way home again. But I suppose that's what you get for living in the mtns 3.) Decided on what color i'm gonna repaint it: Metallic Purple!

ok, here's a concept that I like. I know that people have put non-subaru transmissions into subarus for quite a while now. Anyone have any suggestions on a transmission i could use in my Subaru to give it RWD only? And where could I get an adapter plate to run it? I'm debating switching over to a manual. Putting in an automatic would keep things easier, but as long as the whole transmission is coming out of the car and i'm going through the work to swap in another one, I could go that route.

That is so bad rump roast!!

The exhaust is... well... yeah. but i do like the snow plow idea. speaking of snowplows, anyone have the subaru genuine accessory snow plow for the EA81? I've only seen subaru literature about it, but never anywhere else. I think they look really cool!

So doing the center diff lock mod will make everything work out just fine? I was under the impression that it limited the difference in torque split, not truly "locked" it. Knowing this, I think my Subie is going to be RWD very soon.

Flattened a raccoon on my way down the mtn from my house to my fiance's... then laughed maniacally for quite a while afterwards

From what it sounded like nolicense was saying, all i should do is take out the front axles. I was saying that without any other modification, this would not work.

That wouldn't work with AWD. And yes, it is the 4EAT without any 4WD provisions, just AWD

So the center diff lock mod WILL work on these older Subaru automatics?

I've seen a few people do RWD conversions on AWD Subarus, but they never say how they did it, just that they did. I can see how it would be done on 4WD subies (pull out the front axle shafts), but how about for AWD subies?

I finally got a tire to replace the little one i had on it. Got to take the FWD fuse out of it, which made loose gravel driving amazingly fun again.

well that's what I was trying to say. A stock Subie and Stock XJ cherokee cost about the same used, but the XJ is going to be a better 'wheeler without any mods.

CJs make terrible daily drivers. As Dude said, it's just a better 'wheeling machine. If I were to take the stock Subie on some of my favorite woodsy trails, I'd probably kill it. The stock Cherokee wouldn't even be strained... hell, it might not even realize it's off road!

Started making plans to trade it for this bad boy: It's my friend's 1992 Jeep Cherokee Laredo

It would limit your down travel, not your uptravel, but not by much, i'd assume

wow, impressive! Today, I realized how badly I need mudflaps. If I can get my fiance's camera, I'll take a pic of how much muck my front wheels have kicked up in the past few days.

i'm so local, why haven't I come out to see this build in person? PM me your address, I wanna check this thing out.
