You dont need a machine shop, you just need to get the special tool. Can be bought at almost ANY hardware store; The same tool can be used to extract the old bearings if they are bad.

I also agree with getting Subaru OEM exhaust gaskets. You can find aftermarket gaskets at Napa, but i have had problems with them failing prematurely. 8 out of 10 times, the stud will come out with the nut. It sucks, and if you are lucky you can just thread the nut & stud back into the head and it will hold its own. However, you may find aluminum on the threads of the studs indicating the holes in the heads themselfs have stripped.

Guess I should update since my original reply was more than a year ago. Changed webservers, so the old photos are gone. New photo's anyways WCSS10, from left to right: Me, SuberDaves beautiful wife Lisa & Jibs on the far right. This is first thing in the morning, 7am before coffee. WCSS11, me after breakfast trying to stay warm. NV_Zeno to the right either blowing his nose, or stuffing his face And here I am with my 4Runner last memorial day weekend.

What brand & model meter did you buy? Multi-meters are good for so much more than just testing alternators & fuses I got mine off ebay for a steal. I love it, but I paid almost as much for my new leads as I did the meter itself.

whats broken on it? When you go into low range, does the "LO" light indicator light on the dash? Its either the 4WD light switch, or the Low range indicator switch.

Yeah i gave up looking for gaskets long ago. Just get a sheet of gasket paper and a good exacto knife. Use a single hole punch to make the holes for the studs.

More info on the front CV's please

It all depends on your definition of "off-road"

Welcome to the very first US based Subaru Message board. Nasioc & Iclub came about 3 or 4 years after the USMB was created. Get on those parts!! i am sure many of us could use em

And as a general rule of thumb, you should never use 4WD on pavement. And especially if you have mis-matched tires.

for what car?

Welcome to the board. Make sure to post up some pictures of that thing to share with the rest of us

I have seen a couple with 12" Its alot of lift for a car.

They are different: GL dash on top, DL Dash on bottom.

25hp is 1/3 of an EA81.

EJ22 is your answer then. You can find a sub-forum dedicated to the swap. Welcome to the club,

Dont think it will, if anything it may help gas mileage a bit due to the decrease in turbulence created by your bed. There's a dude in Canada with a EJ20T swapped Brat. he tells me he has to drive with a canopy or else his brat tries to lift off at 100+

I used a piece of coat hanger when I did my mod. I have a friend who welded his linkages together. However, it takes precision skill & accuracy

Plenty of options. Built EA81 EA82 EA82T EJ18 EJ20T EJ22 EJ22T EJ25 ER27 EG30 EG33 Now the real question... how much work do you want to do? Can you cut, weld & fabricate? How is your engine wiring experience?

Did the RX not come with a 2pc driveline?

Thanks I love this thing. There are a ton of sweet 4Runners up here, if I had to take a picture everytime I saw one i would need to carry 2 cameras.

That thing is going to fold in half the first time you take it off-road. I say you use it for parts.

Mike! Whatsup!?!? Long time no see (hear). Did you get that FF1?

So I was going to do inventory on the gear I keep in my 4Runner, and while doing so I thought I would photograph the things I carry. Small box with spare knuckle studs, wire & ties, starting fluid, 10mm wrench & basic pliers Your basic set of jumper cables A charged and ready to go fire extinguisher (check yours to make sure its not bad) & a couple floor mats 2 tool boxes & 1 recovery box (more detail on those later) 12v electric air pump (almost useless with four 35" tires, but good to have on hand) D.S.D.T (Double Sided Duck Tape) Toiletpaper, protected from moisture & spilled fluids. Tire Plug Kit. 1gal. coolant 1gal. ATF 1qt. Brake Fluid 2qt. 10w30 1qt. gear oil Highlift breaker bar 2 pry bars Recovery Box exposed spare V belts Gasket Paper Left Glove (dont ask what happend to the right) & zip ties. Hell Box tucked away spare set of jumper cables Everything packed and strapped This is just a generic set of stuff I have stored and set to the side in the garage so I can quickly load the truck. Obviously there would be additional spare parts or equipment if I were to go snow-wheelin.

Guys name is John Bloom but goes by Mudrat. Was a good guy back in the day, and Im not going to say he doesnt do good work. He does great work. However I paid him a few years ago, $400, for a custom front bumer. And never recieved it. I have other friends who have sent him much, much more money for custom transmissions, roll bars, lifts & other custom work that was never done. However, John made off with all of our money.
