there are like 5 or so threads about this.search .....then search some more. cheers, b

they should technically have the same rating, just different actuation.torque rating wise they activate a little differently.but very little difference.same roads, same winter, same vehicle.they were both used, but cleaned and resealed .no reason to think there was undue stress on either... but i can break anything lose on ice:grin:and do.... however, spring mud that year was fun with the clutch type....not so much with the VLsd. even though rpms were high through the same honey holes ..it just wasn't the same feel...but totally possible it was not up to snuff. cheers, b

some trimming. i am waitin on some parts, got some other parts, and need a couple more parts...... i think i'll be startin on the motor this weekend.maybe.i might just run the existing longblock into the ground. it is drinking coolant, and burning oil.seen the coolant dripping from the holes in the exhaust pipes.... she was rode hard, and put away wet.but she ain't done. i have a dual port block downstairs.think i'll throw that under it. gonna have to drill and tap the EGR port in the head, cause i do not feel like finding another head...we'll see how i feel when i get to it:lol:because i am not looking forward to it now!! other than that.gonna cut the bumper some more for lighting....just outside the license plate, and inside the indicators. ....i will also move the license plate up a bit theres just enough room up there..... anyways. cheers, b

almost all i have seen have had it.......cheers, b

OFFROAD forum FAQ......

very noice!!!!!!!!!!!!1looks good mang.cheers, b

that scoop on the hood actually works............ granted , going slower it will leave a skosh to be desired...but , whatever...not trying to go fast here so.....cold air, when at speed, little less cold when slower.(gonna happen anyway)at least thats what i was justifying to myself when i was building it with absolutely no direction in mind, and using all stock pieces.... cheers, b

that one^, or this one?\/ i'll show the rest of that shtuff tomorrow.... need some more clearance here and there.....gotta start somewhere wanted to get her breathin better....i know , i know.. i need a better filter :)that'll get fixed.i just happened to have that one layin around.and after a while of figurin and cussin i found a little something that would work... and it was out of stock pieces , and a little junkyard score love. now,go get your own thread to talk about trannies:).........cheers, B

its all good, thats just a golden goose...the Ej DR cheers, b

well, if i had the casings i would use the EJ stuff.but i don't , thanks for rubbing it in , some more...... i am well aware of the benefits of an EJ clutch........ however, i am not to worried about the clutch.takes half a day to change of need be. i have a couple of adapter plates sitting down stairs that i have not used for years......so , i might as well put one to use.it is a proven layout and works well with an xt6 clutch setup. i am going to pick some rims up today.then i can mount the tires and see what strut perch issues i have to deal with. the rear is figured out, the front could possibly be done the same way.... we shall see today i guess. its raining , so.........blehhhh........ i'll have some pics by the end of the day at least.... cheers, b

your local driveline shop should be able to source it. if not, i used the stock suzuki driveline, and u joint to match to a subie u joint.it is 1 thousandth off according to measurement.it fits. and spins fine. cheers b

very cool.that jeep guy is a puss....... i'd love to rock that area.............:cool: cheers, b

if you don't add bigger tires, how do you expect to get the clearance?cheers, b

workin on it brother , workin on it......cheers, b

yep. like 5 or 6.....but i think you misunderstand...."MONSTARU" is a theme....not a particular name. and you will be posted..... cheers, b

so how many miles on the trans then?cheers, b

welp, it starts again... here she is.. the usual suspects... the new strut top plates for the rear.... rear disc knuckle swap.... a stack of axles ... figure i might need to do some figurin some RX tranny love... this one will take a minute...gotta get her legal first, then gather a small parts list for the swap... some tires i luckily picked up because of price, seeing as how the other tires fell through literally like an hour ago... It's all junkyard parts, so i don't expect to much out of it:rolleyes:but like the last few i have had i will keep up with the boys in it...not worried a bit. can't wait.....more pics to come.. i had to weld a new bung for the missing O2 sensor today. she should pass smog tomorrow. then i can tear into her. got some other exhaust pieces today as well... still gotta get some 15 inch steelies, some driveline it will all come with time.... cheers, b i recieved a bunch of parts today from a cross state courier. props out to him and the other folks that helpd him get my parts.you know who you are , and it was ************in rad of ya!cheers!

eggzachary.......you have to know your limits... i keep tryin to tell people to know their limits and they keep taking it wrong...like i'm telling them to NOT push it.... which is not the truth at all.....

dude the proof is in the pudding. well, ifn ya wanna have an attitude about it. i'd rather build it myslef with ************ from a junkyard, than have someone else build it for me.... built not bought....... to bad too, i was gonna buy your tires.good luck selling it now with a ************in hissie fit and deleting your post.grow up man..... cheers, b i am well aware of the cost of things.. like the full hydro setup in my basement(sans lines), and the fuel cell, and the FOX AIRshocks(12"&!$"), and the transfer case gears,and, and, and.... anyone can buy parts man, and anyone can build it for you.but your the one that has to get it out of the woods when it breaks...good luck in general with that attitude..

not raggin... just be smart about it. thats all. thats alot of dough to throw at a car that will be completely specialized and ONE ?GUY is gonna know the ins and outs of it? just sayin. get it done right or your gonna regret it.cheers, b edit:you can't expect to post up something like this with no scrutiny.or a a real parts list...don;t be so sensitive man...

for 12 grand, you better be doing full hydro!and chromoly everything in the axles.and, and , and.....i'd make sure the guy doin this knowa what the hell he is doing. a can of worms can be opened up and not closed just as fast......... just sayin.for 12 grand, there are some way more capable wheelers that you could buy outright....... AND, family rigs at that.say you love your subie all you want.but if your droppin that kind of dough, i would be buyin used built 60's,an atlas, and fabrication to make a crazier adapter than bill is doing up. you should do some more research...i think your gettin took.cheers, b

B, maybe you kept breaking your subi because you asked way too much of it OR you didn't know how to drive your subi in rough terrain while also preserving the mechanical health of your vehicle yep, evidently i have high expectations of everything i do.well, mostly anyway. don't get me wrong, i LOVE these cars.but i know there limits for me.i am not a bad driver....but, i have also had nicknames like WFO(wide ************in open) and UMM(ultra mad man) my entire life...because thats how i live it........:)and when it is time to move on, it is time to move on... years ago i was trying to build a super badass offroad rig out of one of these cars....broke some stuff, bent the ************ out of some other stuff, and decided it was time to move on. now i build them for the kind of wheeling i can afford to do now....which is pretty impressive from these little rigs.but i do not push them past their limits TOOOOO much........:grin:well, kinda, but whatever.i know what to expect now... cheers, b

you relax for one minute, and Murphy will screw ya....literally! i have sold more good dashes than i have had.....and pretty sure i've sold like 4 of 'em........pictures smictures..... monstaru's believe it or not...... cheers, b

EGGZACHARY..........hence the thoughts of something different in my mind for that particular idear......more of a u joint style axle, with thick rump roast shafts.....but anyways.....cheers, b
