Looking for everything I'd need to convert my 86 GL's rear drums to discs. Willing to pay for shipping.

So I have a dual range ea82 tranny. On the back above where the shifting linkage enters the housing, there are two wires, one green and one black. What are these wires for? Also, on a four inch lift, how long should you extend the 4wd linkage?

Hey guys. So I'm planning on doing an ej swap into my ea wagon this summer, and although I was planning on using an ej22, I have easy access to two ej25s. One is a SOHC with an incomplete harness, don't know what it came out of or what year it is. The other is a DOHC sitting in a wrecked 97 legacy, complete. From what I understand, the SOHC is the more desirable of the two. So I'm wondering if i can use the wiring and ecu from the DOHC on the SOHC? Is there anything else I would have to swap to make it work? I've seen people ask similar questions, but couldn't find any answers for my situation, so any help is appreciated. Thanks.

alright sounds good

So it'll be front wheel drive with 4lug wheels?

what transmission will you be swapping in and how much will you be selling it for?

If you decide to sell that XT6 lemme know!

Hey mods could you move this to either members rides or offroad or wherever a build thread belongs?

thanks that's what I thought but wasn't sure

how does one change where their thread is?

I believe I once read somewhere that you can put seats from an XT or XT6 into a gl. Is this true and if so is it doable without any modifications?

So there's kind of been a popping noise coming from the suspension area on the front of the car, and it happens usually while coming to a stop and then going again, like something slides back and forth. We've just replaced the half axles, and i swear I've made sure the lift kit pieces are all tight. any suggestions as from where or what this may be coming from? Also it's been off and on since a while after I lifted it. It has a 4 inch SJR lift.

That looks great, thank you!

Now if I were looking for a good walk through on an EJ22 swap, where should I look? I've searched quite a bit and know I've found stuff before but for the life of me can't remember where:confused:

Wow it's been a while since I checked this haha! Yeah that would have been mine. And the steering was obviously fixed a while ago, but thanks for the info, in case I ever do something like this again.

2nd owner, had 355k when I got, and the engine needed to be rebuilt. It's an '86 GL wagon and at 360k it's going strong!

I also have a few more ideas if you're open to them, nothing too crazy. Let me know, thanks!

So this is my current set-up: http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/299325_4789507579598_460984418_n.jpg And yeah like I said I'm hoping to have the winch integrated into the bumper where the license plate is, so as to not obscure the grille too much. I still need to find which winch I'm after for the dimensions but about how much could you do this for?

Could you make a front bumper like yours but with integrated winch mounts/housing? Basically I'm looking to have the winch about where the license plate usually is on a stock front ea82 bumper.

Alright! count me in

Would a suby with a 4 inch lift, all terrains, no 4-low, and somewhat iffy 4-high be fine?

Ruby's almost ready! Just a few things to do on the interior, and then a lot of clean-up! When do the gates open on Friday for set-up?

Yeah that's pretty much what we did today, so now everything with the shifting is good. However we still have to lower the drive-line, which we figured out was causing the obnoxious and rather frustrating thumping. Should have it all sorted out tomorrow... only thing now is that when my dad extended my steering rod, he didn't account for the steering wheel angle itself, so now the part that ought to be facing down is facing right... not a big problem but the groves on the side were nice to use...

So I got my lift kit installed, but I've run into some issues I could use some help with. I extended the steering rod alright, but my 4 wheel drive lever is stuck... do I need to extend whatever it is that runs from the lever down? Also when we turn the wheel, there's only so far we can turn it before there's this kind of nasty grinding/rubbing noise, but it isn't coming from the tires rubbing... could it be the CV joints? Any help as soon as possible would be great, as I am pretty anxious to get her running

First year for me too! Love to get in on a caravan... especially if anybody's got CBs!
