HOLY FAHOLY!! What a trip! Just got home from a long night and morning driving home. Had a blast in Oregon with Adam and Tony. We will definatly be doing this again soon. I gave Tony crap all weekend about his Turbo Sube, but he went everywhere we did (and ALOT faster might i add). I have some very good footage of him in action in only RWD after his front CV broke. I'll have it edited sometime soon. Adam couldn't have picked a better spot to wheel either. It would have been nice if it rained, but oh well Here's the pictures I took from the trip. I have to upgrade my computer alittle to get the video on here. http://usmb.net/gallery/albuo15 -Brian

I should. Cant anytime soon tho. Going to Oregon for the weekend, using my vacation for that. -Brian

Is that the address you gave me Adam?? the house? If all goes well and i stay on the road, only stopping for gas... i should be in RR by 4pm. TOny. I messaged you via my cell phone to see if you have 2 way text messaging. If for any reason anyone needs to get ahold of me, ive forwarded my email to my cell phone. the address is BRIAN(at)SUBARU4WD.NET See you all in 21 hours. -Brian

I can help you with the pix. PM me. -Brian

I was thinking it'd be cool to get that and put a EA81 in it geared for towing. Re-enforce the frame. Kinda make a tug-boat out of it for towing subaru's and parts. -Brian

Un Sticky... Im planning on being around this area by 4:30pm Friday. http://www.usmb.net/trip/trip.htm Of course, the distance is from Sac to Rogue River. If I leave here by 10am, i should make the area by 4pm at the very latest. -Brian

I remember him telling me he redrilled his hubs to accept Mercury rims. -Brian

What kind of patch cable do you need Adam? I might have one. I'll have all the cable needed for my camcorder so we can all enjoy some fresh carnage! -Brian

For this.... The license plate sais DA BRAT. I took this picture a few years ago when i still lived there. Couldnt really hold much of a conversation with him cause we were at a red light that just turned green, and i'm not sure if he spoke english. -Brian

Either that, or put a 13" steel rim back on the car, take a breaker bar, prybar, any type of bar, and stick it through one of the slots on the rim, rotate the rim until the bar catches something and stops the wheel. Then you should be able to break the castle nut off. But since you have everything already, guess its pointless now Not sure if the XT6 arm fits your EA82. -Brian

http://usmb.net/gallery/albuo12 There are some great pix in there. About 113 of them. Thanks syphon. -Brian

Oh, i know. This isnt my 1st trip up there Oregon is great, cant wait... hope my car doesnt leave me stranded. -Brian

I think we're planning on meeting in Rogue River. I looked up a map of where it is, and generated this page: http://www.usmb.net/trip/trip.htm The distance of course, is from Sacramento. Adam, is there somewhere in particular you want to meet. Like a safeway, or chevron or something? -Brian

1pm on monday sounds like a solid plan. I will also have some video I shot of some trips as well. -Brian

Thanks John. I think General Disorder will be showing up as well. Trying to get Harpua to go, but he probably cant make it. Hopefully i will be able to make it. I have to see how much damage the wagon goes through over the weekend. -Brian

My volt meter will hold steady at 12 with the lights on and the A/C fans on. With everything off, it will get up to 14 and stay there. At idle, 900rpm-1200rpm, it will be around 10 or 11. No more time for troubleshooting. Im going on a 800 mile round trip to Oregon and back in less than 2 days. I have to do an oil change, change the gear oil in the tranny, pack, shop, then drive 5 hours for a camping trip. Lets just hope this alternator doesnt freak out, and the battery stays good. -Brian

Hey john. A little tip for the gallery. If you zip all your pictures into one .zip file, you can upload that single .zip file, and the gallery will uncompress them on the server and organize them all. Saves time when you have a few pictures to add, and your on a dialup connection. the pix look great. -Brian

EA82 Dome lights are the same size as modern levi jean pockets... just an odd coincedence -Brian

Can this be un-stickied now? -Brian

I remember when you posted the question last year Basher. We'll let todds down lightly. I think the only people who has blueprints of a solid and tested true lift kit are BYB and PK Davis. John (mudrat) knows how to lift sube's, and he could probably build a lift for you. As far as blueprints, you'll probably need to make some yourself. Its not that difficult to lift a sube, its manufacturing the blocks. -Brian

I havent added it yet, gimme a couple minutes. -Brian

Do you mind if I mirror that link and use the USMB gallery to sort and resize each pic? -Brian

Is that the trip I was on Caleb? -Brian
