  1. Theres 3 on craigslist right now cheap i just dont get it this one is realy clean with nice wheels but still
  2. I resently sold my 94 loyale parts car and i volentired to deliver it to the guy as it has no motor and he is a freind of mine i had a guy follow me down the highway and in to a gas station trying to buy it from me and the next stop for.coffee i had another guy try to buy it from me then i get the thing to the guys house and some one tryes to steal it from in front of his house trailer and all lol and the next day the driver from the lumber yard stoped and asked about it and about the murphy that was sold a few months ago lol my freind was so bummed about having to sell his gl10 they got in to a bidding war in the parking lot when he sold it so he talked me out of my parts car to build another one from scratch lol i dident know there was such a interest in these old rigs but i guess with some nice rims and alittle modernizing some led lights and whatnots i guess there is who would.have ever thunk it
  3. Those are great looking wheels thats always been my favorate style i had those on my 94 loyale i just sold i also have the aluminum version for my scout
  4. It realy comes down to what you can live with if i do some mathie like type.stuff your original tire size is about 22" say you run a 27" tall tire thats ruffly a 4.5 % increse in tire size a 30" tire is ruffly 36% increse in tire size so my thinking is 36% less avaliable torque to the wheels and thats gona hurt your hyway speeds 4.5% dosent sound like much it shouldent hurt your drivability to much so its up to you what is a aceptable loss of power and what looks or works for you there isent a real clear cut answer by my best ruff guesstamating i basicly base everything off of tbe tire size persentage so basicly if you incress your tire size by 10% i would.guess a 10% powerloss and a 10% drop in mileage 10% loss of.breaking power 10% incress in rotating mass at the wheels and 10% drop in rpms that is.bassed on absalutly nothing but my wacked out thinking its just a easy way of guesstemating tire size so if you can figure out were your powerband is and your cruz rpms with your cerant set up you can use the tire size persentage # and calulate your rpm drop and if your rpms are still in your powerband your good if your rpms.go to low at cruzing speed your gona lug the engine and wont be able to hold speed with out downnshifting
  5. I would look up the peek torque rpm for your engine and your peek hp rpms that should give you a good idea were your powerband is so if peek torque is oh say 3200 rpm and peek hp is im guessing 3800 then your powerband starts somewere around 3k and starts to fall off around 3800 and 4k so you want to be in that range at highway speeds if you cruze at 65 them your rpms should be close to peek torque rpms thats were your engine is most efficiant you can then look up a tire/rpm calculator and get the rpms for each tire size your looking at i use the 1:1 final drive just to make life easyer but the ea82 duel range dosent run a 1:1 gear 4th and 5th gears are both overdriven so that will through you off a bit and also not good for us with limited gear ratio selections and big tires as it lowers the rpms to much to keep the engine in its powerband thats the right way to figure out what tire size.to run but there is a less mathie way just start with small tires and if you think the rig has more in it move up a size see how it feels keep doing that till you find something your happy with and role with it i just sold my parts car it has 195/65/15 on it and i couldent tell the diffe4ance betweeen them and stock the 225/70/15s did bog me down a bit the 235/75/15s are hell on a stock motor but still functional there isent alot of differance between a ea81 and a ea82 in the torque department so you should be able to run the same size as your loyale the lighter ea81 should make up for the little bit of torque differances
  6. Ive got a outback i started to do that to kinda a baja like but now im gona chop the middle out and make it a shorty baja lol
  7. It sounds like a bad breakline to me they go bad internaly they dont relese right away when they fail the fluid goes in under presure but there isent any presure when relesed so if theres a restriction in the line it will hold the break on for a while they relese after sitting long enuff and wont happen again till hard breaking then the wheel will lock up untill it sits a while
  8. dude just cut your springs or spend $1000000.00 i think you can adjust the rear ride hight with a socket but ive never had a brat so im just taking a guess but its just a ea81 so i would asume it works just like the rest of them your gona run in to camber issues also and its not adjustable so you have to figure it out on your own
  9. Try squrting yours with oil like wd40 it probably is just stuck ive fixed alot of them that way pull it all the way out so the oil gets to the base of the mechanism you dont even need to unbolt them i know i have some in storage somewere i just cant remeber what storage site it would be in
  10. Lincon makes a very reliable locker its just not selectable i love mine it cost me all of about $5 but on a ej car the center diff makes it useless once that front tire starts spinning its over and besides there to heavy and dont do very good off road with out alot of work
  11. At one point i was making my own headgaskets and experamenting with them so i pulled my heads about 15 times in a row
  12. The 4" lift makes life alot easyer i just pull the intake and one side of the exhaust and i think there are 2 accesory bolts then pull the lift block i have littleraly had the old head gasket off and a new one on and running in 30 min but i knew my heads were straight and my intake gaskets are all reusable except the headgasket and there werent any bolt issues i was kinda undernthe gun so went as fast as i could
