subimonster

Did some more wheeling and the tires kick total ase still. Well good luck on your subi build. Hope we can get together and do some wheelin when your done.

Well they seem to do fine on slick surfaces I have been on ice at work up the mountain and it didn't slip much at all and hard braking seems good too. I also went wheeling last night and they absolutely tear it up on trails and mud. Do you know if it is possible to swap Toyota hubs on to am ej?

So far I have not noticed an mpg loss but I just swapped in 4.44 gears both ends and a newer outback transmission. I didn't notice too much noise when driving but I am used to noise as I had tsls on the lego last. I am going to put a spacer on the front and do some cutting and try to get some 30" mt tires in there. Do you know of anyone that makes a 1" wheel spacer that converts 5x100 to the Toyota six lug?

Well I am getting the maxxis big horn mt put on my legacy right now in the 27 8.50 14 and I drive 80 miles a day to work so I will let you know how it turns out with fuel economy and noise.

Haha that's good. I have a habit of reading too fast but yes a good bra would help indeed...

Is that a French word? Sorry not sure what it means...

nice info, thanks. i have been having the same issue with my 95 legacy. i am going to try your fix to see if it works. so to keep it clear you used forester front springs and the 3/8 spacer?

it is an awesome mudder but that looks like a chevy blazer frame it is sitting on...

Where would I get king springs? I have outback struts on my 95 legacy and it sits an inch maybe an inch and a half lower in the front then the back.

That's funny right there... but yea I did mean suspension.

Just wondering if anyone has lifted a justy yet?

Nice tires. How much did those cost. I just got an outback tranny with 4.44 gears which I am starting to install today and I want to move to a 235 75 15 and I love the way those tires look. Anyway awesome job on your impreza I will be applying a lot of your techniques in the coming month to my car. Thanks man!!!

if only i had time and money this would be exactly what my lego would look like. this car absolutely blows my mind great job man keep it up!!!:banana:

yes welches is on mount hood as in 97067 zip code.

it is cool i lost it a little and am sorry. i cant buy any diff unless it is free because i am mega broke right now. i currently live in Sandy OR which is close to Welches. I am leaning towards making this car my off road only vehicle again because making it road worthy is getting harder and harder and i may be selling my truck to buy another vehicle. i am interested in the 4.44 parts if you can give me a good price and do you have the tranny as well because mine is almost toasted.

I was just putting a lower mile tranny in it as mine has 265k on it and has never been gone through. I will defiantly have to check into the duty c solinoid thing I was trying to think of how to do that a while ago but thank you for explaining it in a little detail. I found a rear diff already I am waiting a couple paychecks to get it though.

Facts: 95 legacy L automatic, welded rear diff, outback wagon struts, and my awd unit doesn't disengage unknown reason i havent looked at it only used the car as a wheeler until recently. I dont want anyone to think i am some idiot trying to be cool with a lifted subaru and i am sure some of you think i am right now. I am an automotive technician i have been working on cars for a while and i have had this subaru lifted for going on 5 years now and very much enjoy wheeling it as i have taken it places that make some trucks sweat i just have not had to make a modification of this sort before. i will try to get a hold of the rear diff and put that in per woods wagons advice and run it like that without the rear drive line for a while. Hope that clears up the air a little bit.

and yes it is an automatic not a manual.

i am sorry again for the vague question in the first place. Again i apologize to the people who posted earlier i was quick on the trigger to hate on them but i dont believe it is necessary to insult me after the apology. Again i am sorry to the people that deserve it. I have an old CV axle that was in my shop that i will gut out and put the ends back in the diff and bolt back in the hub and see if that does the trick for a while until i get my other tranny and diff.

Well I have to apologize because my son had me completely pissed off this morning and I let it rip on here. I was just looking for a quick fix because I am buying an outback transmission and differentials with the 4.44 gears in it but I need to save up for a little bit to buy them. It would just be nice to get some freindly subi love on an issue then having people get on and instead of trying to help just say well your a dumb rump roast and why ask that question. That you for you input on the issue.

well wasnt really looking for douche bags to get on here and flame on the post. the reason i ask is because my rear diff is welded and i used the subaru as an off road vehicle for years but i have been forced to drive it to work as a daily driver and i am tired of the rear diff tearing up the street tires i put on it. i was just seeing if I were to take apart an old cv axle and put the ends back in the diff and put the cup and axle nut through the bearing and hub if that will work until i get my new diff. if anyone has anything useful to say i appreciate it if not just click out of my posting it is that easy.

i have a 95 legacy i just need to know what i have to do to to drive the car with one of the rear axles removed. Thanks.

i cant express how much i love this build. i cant wait for you too work out all the bugs so i know what rout to take when i start building my legacy straight axle crawler. nice tat by the way i was going to get one kinda like that when i get my next check... BAD rump roast!!!

how are you going about flaring the front fenders?

i just have the les schwab black steel snow rims they sell for cheap. it was the brake pads, they were not sliding all the way back so they got too hot and cracked and the cracks are holding junk up against the disc. the rims seem to be working fine right now though.
