well...... seems like a lot more work than i really have the knowledge to do. thanks for the input. maybe i should rethink my plans and come up with a more realistic and reliable method for making my toy/dd. also i meant to say since i live in iowa i CAN'T find parts anywhere, and honestly i dont even know what parts i need to do anything. i can mess with v8's and solid axles but this flat 4, independant stuff is tricky to me. i have this vision in mind but just not real sure how to go about it, ive read a lot of threads and im sure its all good stuff im sure IF i knew what people were talking about lol (new to the soobie world). anyways i appreciate ur advice:)

i have a 83 gl wagon and it has nooo power. i know the 81 engine was gutless to begin with so i guess my question is will it be enough motor to turn over 32s off my friends chevy. and if i do upgrade where oh where can i find a engine suitable for bigger tires and playing in some mud? i live in iowa and can find soob parts anywhere.:-\

just found this post... freakin wicked. bravo good sir, bravo

i have noticed the rear end is quite a bit higher than the front, any input on raising the front would be awesome. i want the car level but i dont wanna lower the back. i do plan on lifting the whole thing eventually. BTW the guy that owned the car gave u props on ur brat do u have pics up somewhere id love to see it

i bought that wagon, body is rough, fixed the rod already and the subframe. have less than 300 in the car and it runs like a top. everything works right down to the ac and cruise. needs a driver window motor but ill have that taken care of soon. im pretty sure im not a "sucker".
