  1. Guys, I wanna thank u for all ur input n wisdom...im taking the kids including the 8mo. old and just wanna take all precautionary measures before heading up
  2. Thanks 2.7 turbo and Rob for the info..didnt know how complicated tire pressure can be..i prolly run em at 35psi.. Cant wait!! Got like 6-7 in. of fresh powder in the local mtns
  3. Hi guys, Bringing family up to Big Bear Mtns. this weekend to frolic in the snow. This will be the first time the Loyale sees snow. Just wanna make sure I have the right tire pressure. I have Grabber AT2 205/75/15. Any info would help. Thanks in advance.
  4. Thanks guys and good lookin out on the suspension link 2.7. I will definitely read.
  5. Sweet!! Thanks for the info on the suspension I will look into that
  6. Everything stock except lift n wheels n tires. Roof rack is made by Surco. Bought thru Amazon. Next on list, motor swap. Ea82 has no guts uphill
  7. thanks guys..actually all the bang-bangs are semi-auto..im from a state that believes in a bullet-button :-\
  8. Just wanna share w/ you folks my 1st trip to the desert w/ the wagon. Its been a couple months since i lifted and did maintenance to it. Yesterday at Ocotillo Wells, nobody in sight, 110* weather, me and my bros did a day trip to shoot our guns and do a little off-roading. Have to say the wagon passed the test except for the AC goin out as soon as we left the site. The trail, about 5 miles from the road had a couple hills, washboard bumps up to 2' high, and rock gardens at the end. It was smooth throughout w/ the stock suspension. Didn't scrape at all underneath. But definitely gonna put a skid plate on next. I'm so glad I bought the Loyale! Its budget-offroading at its Best!
  9. How do these mount onto wagon? Any welding necessary? Or straight bolt-on to the frame? Thanks
  10. Does adjusting throttle cable down really give u more power? Are u just adjusting idle? Will u idle at higher rpm now?
  11. thanks buddy, yeah, its nice to be close to the surf:) We will be goin to Ocotillo Wells to camp n shoot our guns. Im a rookie w/ this off-road stuff but cant wait to bring the wagon out there. Prolly gonna wait til i get some new wheels before doin any serious off road. I wanna make sure i have correct set up
  12. Those were some sick videos! You and ur Subie rock!! I thought u guys handled that pretty well
  13. Jrd- thanks buddy soobenthusiast- thanks for the input bout ur tractor. I actually went to alignment shop today and they told me the same thing 91loyale says, if u keep the wheels flipped, your wheel bearings are gonna be trashed quickly. Im prollly gonna look for new set wheels n do it correctly
  14. Thanks buddy! i say go with the olive green and camo it! i saw someone that has camo paint job, looks pretty tite
  15. Oh definitely! Planning on trip 2 weeks from now. I will take lots of pics
  16. The fronts are fine, no rub issues if mounted correctly. Its the rears that rub against a bolt that sticks out a little and flat arm that goes horizontal. Not sure if theres a fix for that other than getting another set of wheels w correct offset. But thank u for the info regarding bearings, I keep that in mind. Maybe I can just run the fronts w/ the correct side and look like a top-fuel funny car
  17. That would look tite!! 2-tone! wrx Blue n black on bottom. I say go for it! It reminds me of the 80's when we painted our Celica Supras XX 2-tone. Damn..im old
  18. 987687- thats a great idea! Im gonna try go tmmrw n stash the tranny! Lol Mugs-So far so good w/ the neighbors, no complaints yet. Then again, ur right, they haven't seen it all mudded-up. Most my neighbors pretty kool bout workin on cars, just as long as power tools off by 10pm. Miles- Dang...Katie killed it for u..sorry to hear. Yeah, color-match bumpers would been sick lookin w/ those hubcaps
  19. Thank you. And i havent done the swap yet, but did see one at the local junkyard. Just waiting for the next 50% off parts sale
  20. hi, can i ask where u got ur wheels? kool set up. also are those 4x140? thanks bro

  21. [/img]92 Loyale EA82 bone stock Allied lift 4" fr 3" rr Allied wheels w/ Kumho AT 235/75/15 Cutting and shaving on both ends. Still rubs in rear little Just finished lifting, now needs to get dirty
  22. yes, they are the allied wheels. they seem to have a deep offset, prolly custom set for another customer, so they rub in the rears, so i just mounted them backwards. and yes, its time to get dirty..desert trip in 2 weeks, cant wait!
  23. thanks buddy..its u guys on this forum that gave me the motivation to start the project
  24. I am ready to put on wheels/tires on '92 wagon. I have 15" Allied Armament wheels. Planning on ordering from Tire Rack General Grabber AT2 size 235/75/15. I would like to know if this will fit w/o any clearance issues or will I have to roll or shave parts of fender. So i am asking anyone who actually has experience w/ this size on a wagon similar to mine. I have a 4" front and 3" rear lift. I have done searches and did read the sticky on the "off road" section. Thanks in advance for all the input
