Buy a plasma, then search pirate for the CAD file of the JD2 stuff.You can cut out everything you need to build one.Then buy the drill press/index needed to drill out the holes.Finish off buy putting air over hydrailuc .build stand to move aorund and voile'. You now cut with a plaz, built your own bender(allowing you to spend more on the dies.).... I bought my JD2 and the 1.5 dies.Added air over hydraulic and was in quite the grip. I seaarched for a guy to build me a chassis.He wanted about 800 to start.Thats -ish what I have into my setup.Then I built a moveable stand for it with large bolts on the bottom as feet for leveling purposes.I also bought a mount for the bender that allows it to be completely turned 360 degrees if I run out of room on a bend, I can rotate tthe whole head, mid-bend. bender with air over hydraulic stand removeable head mount so that I can eventually mount it outside to a trailer , or whatever.:-p I guess my point is that you can buy stuff to build stuff you need.Don't count that out cheers

Maybe not for a subaru, but a tranny cooler goes a long ways. And FYI, some of the best comp rigs and trail rigs run an auto trans......across the board.Period. cheers

I would be careful not to "wheel" on anyones property.Wheelers already have a bad name.Stay off of private or unmarked property.It is your responsibility to know where you are. Don't go ************in it up for the rest of us.I don't care if "other" people are using the area.It is hard enought to keep our areas open, much less them seeing it in town.. For ************s sake......

I could use the LimitedSD dough for other things, but I think I will give her a shot.REgardless I have to go through it for myself, so it will be nice and shiny. The engine runs awesome, accepting there is a slight fuel dropoff that happens at a certain RPM range. I am replacing the fuel filter, then looking at the pump.Maybe just maybe it is relatedd to the crazy sound .That would kick rump roast.Kill two birds with one stone?Hopefully..... I should be doin that tomorrow afternoon.Well, the filter anyway.I have to look and see if I have an extra fuel pump or not for that car.........Am not looking forward to buying one if not.....although, Might as well get a Walbro 255 ifn I have to purchase one.Of course, depending on the day I could just go pilfer the junkyard too...As I am a cheap bastage soemtimes.... cheers

I know I KNow.........I am workin on alot of things .Just takes time......I have the next few weeks off.starting like Thursday.So I really need to try and get the exhaust put on, figure out my lag , get the lift finalized , and mount the tires.Get an alignment, etc...... I have alot on my plate, I need inside space to apply the decals, and time.......Lots of time.I may keep that as something for Tex and I to do on a weekend this winter.:-pI have such a vision of how I want it to look that I am afraid to start:Flame:;)DOH!!! Anyways, don't worry, They WILL make it to the car.I am still on the hunt for more sticks so everyone keep that in mind!!! The bumper will remain this way for a while. It will get some lights when I have the time, as I have the lights.etc.... cheeers

You could have bought the materials to build those (hdpe cutting board ), used a basic hand drill and some hacksaw blades, and gotten out of it for under 50 bucks. A couple of drill bits,and some time.priceless Ifn yur fansi i betz yus cudda dun et wif yur kanif:-p Just sayin, cheers:drunk:

Alot, I would sell it for alot.;)whats alot to you?:-pcheers

I actually have a set for the bottom that look alot like those.They are cheapies, and hard to break. The top gets my hella driving lights.It should prove to be a lethal setup.look cool, and be efficient on a twin switch setup. maybe label them brighter, brightest..... l also really wanna get the CB in before I start using the road alot....

Thanks! I like the way it is turning out.I really need to get of my rump roast and finish the blinkers.... cheers

What? You mean sell it? No, I do not have the time to make another one right now.I would not make what I wanted even if I did sell it.... I did it as an art piece.Not as something I would produce. I was talking about the Limited Slip.Nice skim job.I suggest you read what I write.Otherwise it will make no sense.I ramble alot . cheers

DAylight pics: Well, I recieved payment for a debt yesterday.An 81000mile(thats what was on the Odometer) Limited Slip Differential. Took the lid off, and checked for any wear.There doesna seem to be any....it turns tighter than all of the previous ones I have had or seen.Seems like the bearings are still good, factory lash and all, so the Diff was treated well. I am debating selling it instead of using it.However it would be cool to have in this car.I have never had an auto with an LSD before.I am curious to see how it would act. cheers

Load range C is 6 ply. cheers

You would be better off getting an LT rated A/T tire. The Grabber is pretty kick rump roast all around I hear. http://www.tiresdirect.net/GENERAL_Grabber_AT2_27X8_50R14_P2554C193.cfm?gclid=CLjOqa7e2KwCFQZbhwodg0uJqQ Or, Toyo a/t's, or Kenda kevlars, Uniroyal Liberators(Wal-Terrain),or several other choices that don't really matter.....I really just wanted to comment on the two spares And for the record.I have been on two trips now that have netted utilizing two spares.With my brother in his truck once.(Not at all on anything hard, just bad luck). And in Lilly , I was hunting up in Colville,busted the first, put on the spare.I then preceded a couple of hours later to burst another.Good thing I had two spare tires.:drunk:And I or we were not "wheeling" on either of those occasions. Sha-it you not..... Cheers.

Even more aweesome is finished.?To bad I still need to paint it proper......:banghead:and learn how to take pics evidently...I'll take some more pics in the light tomorrow. You may be able to see it in this one There are light tabs, and the tabs on the bottom tube are to mount some old school revamped turn signals. cheers:drunk:

Holla'd.......:-p

Got a bit done today. Will continue to plug away on this over the weekend. I may take a break to work on the bumper at some point......

If you are at all going to take your rig off the pavement into something other than your basic gravel road, the consensus is to utilize steelies. This is because you are more likely to damage the alloys.The steel will dent, the alloys will most likely break before bending. cheers

Almost all of the Aussies drive in nothing but sand.

cat person?WTF does that have to do with anything?...... These lift pieces will be 2"ers. Specs are easy to come by with a tape measure , and some time.Maybe a set of calipers if you are anal.But other than that pretty simple. Measure the ************ you got to fit!This isna rocket surgery! Started cleaning those pieces up today.Gonna take me a bit, I cut the circles to small. Die grinder it is...... Will be workin on more fun stuff all weekend. cheers

That sir is a bucket full of stock birfs, and chromo birfs, as well as a full recipe for a pretty good front axle .That is for Monstaru 13.Not this for sure. cheers:-p

Been puttin SOME time in. That should turn out pretty cool... These however are basically a necessity now.No matter how much damn trimmin I did, I still rubbed with worn 235's in the rear passenger side, and definitely had pertty good scrub on the front rear. so, 2 inches it is.?Bought some 2" flat bar on the way home today.Cut these out yesterday and today .at school.Old school Oxy/Acety.************in love it . Should have some time this 5 day holiday to do some fun stuff... cheers

It's about to get alittle more badass.....:-p:popcorn:, cheers

It is not open, and won't be for a while.And there is no way that we could do any of the regular trails anyway.like seriously...... I just had a chat with a guy that is highly involved in the restructuring and trail building going on there, and he is confident iit will open again in the near future.(like a year or so , maybe.but it IS Gov we are talkin about)) cheers, me

All soobs more or less get the same type of lift.You could read the FAQ to get a better idea on how it is done.

Does it work? does it work?:-pHe has not been on the board for months but maybe we can make his ears burn. cheers
