I tried to put a Gen2 A Bar on my very first Subaru which was a '79. It would not fit. The engine crossmember on the Gen2's are wider.

What does it do to the lower control arm after you pretzel a radius rod like that? I bent one once, and it tweaked the lower control arm and its mount. Even after replacing the radius rod & control arm, the car never drove straight again.

Well, he has only had it for one day. Give him a week...

Here are a couple decent shots recently of the truck with the hood on. You may notice there is a strap that runs behind my grill. That is holding my hood shut. I think I am going to have to invest in a set of hoodpins soon. Soon I will be forced to do something for front & rear bumpers.

Dude andrew! Then you are just the man I need to speak to! Too bad, it looks like you logged off of Yahoo. Im going to hit you up next time I see you log in.

Im eager to see what it looks like. The eBay ad has absolutly no information as far as a make or model. Got the metal I need for the console. Just gotta borrow the propper tool from my buddy and then get it done.

Yeah its my 4Runner. Outside pic for y'all I destroyed my cd player so I found a cheap replacement off ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=110401866369 The new one doesnt look like it has a CD player. Which is good, less moving parts the better. And the cooler. Also USB & SD Cards do not skip

You'll have better results starting off with the coupe. Its 2door already and will look propper.

do it!

We should make it the plan

I have to fold the antenna down or else it hits the top of the garage door when i pull the truck in. I just fold it forward and stuff the tip under the roof of the cab. With the spring installed where it is, it works nicely and nothing takes damage.

Awesome. I have been trying to make a list of stuff to bring. Like a EA81 First Aid kit, since I'm thinking the majority of the crowd will have EA81's & EA81 drivetrain. So far I have: Spare Alternator(s) pair of front wheel bearings, & seals spare CV.... or a BIG hammer Various brake parts belts, lug nuts, etc... Fluids (ATF, 10w30, Water) Mike you remember how to get to my place? Im not sure if I am going to spend the night in Reno just yet, or just shoot up I5 from Sacramento.

Can you find out more about that JB? Isnt the 20th & 21st fathers day weekend? Lets try for the weekend after that.

I have seperated many front CV axles. The tool isnt very special, everyone should have one

Im going to be doing this to my Brat... but 2WD as RWD... not FWD

How are the fire regulations in Nev. vs. California? A campfire is a HUGE bonus, and camping without one sucks.

Jibs has enough property, we can just setup a tent there

So I took the 4Runner on a 8 day camping trip over the memorial day weekend. And it performed flawlessly. I was overly impressed.... but that's a whole 'nother thread & story. One of the flaws that did turn into a peeve of mine, was the configuration of my CB radio & antenna install. My installation consisted of the following: $40 Walmart CB Radio (hey! its a Cobra brand!) $15 Walmart Magenetic Mount CB Antenna I didn't have the time when I bought the stuff to do a final install, so the CB radio was just bouncing around the cab the entire time. I wheel alone, so most of the time, it would sit in the passenger seat. But it would have to remain upside down so the speaker was facing towards me. If not, I would not hear a thing my buddies would say. So after getting home, I setforth a more perminant configuration. I actually did something similar like this to my old Pickup, but i ran into problems last time and this time I knew what to avoid. First thing first was to mount my CB. I was able to move my Stereo down a spot in the console, which worked out great, since the mounts for my CB radio matched the stock Toyota Stereo location. Where the stereo is now, there used to be a storage cubby. And the CB radio is sitting where the Stereo used to be mounted. Still plenty of space for other goodies. So a trip to Radio Shack & Ace Hardware, I came home with a couple bags of goodies. I want to make a metal sheet that will cover the stereo & cb, and will also support switches & gauges. Like I said, i did something similar before, but a different aproach this time. First step was to remove the existing console face, that held the cigarette lighter & window switch. Then I traced a cardboard template to fit over it. I fixed it to the console with a couple screws, and bent it to shape. Then start to plot out where things would go: I found some nice switches at radioshack to add to my window switch. These switches are small and compact on the backside, which makes it easy to stack them close together. There we see where everything should go. Now to trim alittle, and see if it fits the truck without any complications. From the drivers view, fits perfect! Now its time to trace the cardboard template onto a metal sheet I have, and make the final piece. Oh, and you might be wondering how I will hear my friends over the CB, with the speaker facing my stereo?? Aux speaker, mounted to the right of the drivers head I also had to do something about that piece of crap Walmart antenna. I was suprised to see Radioshack still carried old fassion mirror mount antenna & accessories. So i got a "whip" with mount & cable, and spent extra for a spring to put between the two. I had a problem with branches, or hard jolts dislodging my old magnetic mounted antenna.... ...well this baby aint going anywhere!! Downfall is, i will have to bend it forward while the cap is on, which will mess with its reception. But i dont think im going to be putting to top back on until the end of August, maybe September. I'll update this, and add more as I get things done.

Who needs a title?? Is it registered? Thats all that counts.

I saw the thread. Im not sure man. I have to test the EA81 in my Brat before I attempt to drive it to the WCSS. You going to have the title for the brat in time for the show?

Just have Jibs follow you nice and closely

Hows that brat running? Would be sweet, 3 brats out on a camping trip!

Thats it! Im moving to Canada!

When do you want to go? My gear is easy to pack. Just gotta find some spare parts to bring incase the Brat doesn't make it
