Does that mean no more lifts?

The best I saw with my Brat so far was 244 miles on 9.5 gallons.

Not really.

You do Brats too? I can come up and keep Lisa company for a few days while you hide away in the garage

Are you running RWD with a RX Tranny? RX Transmissions aren't the same as a standard EA82, and running in RWD risks damaging the center differential. I agree, i think it looks a tad goofy with the rear sticking up. But then again, I like my RX's LOOOOOW

When I bought my first Subaru, I was stoked to hear that I could adjust the front struts and get another inch of height. So I did so, and i couldn't stand the off-camber so I put them back. I have had 14 Subarus since then that had adjustable front struts (EA81's and EA82's). Out of those 14, since the first one I bought I only adjusted 2 others... and it was to adjust them all the way down again. I agree, its nifty to know you can. But its not as practical as it sounds.

I knew, but I havent bought one cause i find it extremely distasteful.

Use the KYB's. they are a far superior strut. You will never need the adjustability. If you do change the height of your strut, you are destroying your tires. Its not an even trade off. If you use the KYB's, you won't be sorry.

I grew up in Alaska, & I saw so many horrrrrrrible accidents as the result of a Moose. Seemed like every week was another story about somebody being killed after hitting a moose. They stand so tall that you take their legs out when you hit them, then you have like 1200lbs of meat crushing your face.

!!!GEARS!!!! This is gonna be so sweet! Started to install my transfercase gears tonight. Here's a comparison between stock and aftermarket (left to right) And my workspace. Doing all this to a spare transfercase I have. so there is no downtime on the rig. Although, I should be able to get this finished and swap the cases by this weekend. Sure wish it were this easy for the soobs

First trip was yesterday Jared. I took it up the hill and did some snow wheelin with a friend of mine. It did great, except for the lack of traction due to nearly bald tires. But 6psi seemed to do the trick. Not alot of flex shots, but those pix wont come for a couple more months. I really need to work on getting a front Locker. I think I will probably buy a spool and install that in the rear, and move the detroit up front. That will be the cheapest route for now. Zap, the rear seats are nice, but getting to them suck with the 2 door config. The cargo space is nice as well, I hauled home four 36" swampers today for a friend. As far as the spring perch for the 63's, im not too concerned. Its all about tire placement, and if done properly I shouldn't hang up. But we'll have to wait and see... there will be snow all over the trails for at least the next 2 months.

Yeah, i dont have one just yet... but that is the style I am looking for. I preffer the look of the Long style A bar over the short style. You still making lifts Patrick? I might be interested in getting one of them 2 inchers from you if you can.

Naw its not like yours. Its an A type pushbar, doesnt cover the headlights. And it doesnt mount to the tow hooks like yours, it uses the 2 bolts that hold the engine crossmember to the body. When you drop that crossmember, it drops the pushbar and doesn't fit propperly.

Patrick, that Brat looks propper lifted 2" I have been thinking about giving mine alittle lift to make it look more like a Truck. I think 2" will be perfect. Did you drop the engine xmember when you did the lift?? I'd like to try and leave the crossmember in position so I can still use a OEM pushbar, but I guess I could always modify the pushbar if needed.

:lol::lol:

I actually have a set of square lights at home I was thinking of putting on. So we'll see how it turns out. And I'll have to wait till I get home to view your pix... im at work and they block Photobucket here.

thanks Guys. I could get more flex, but the rear shocks are limiting it right now. I think it will be a great starting point. Just have to wait till the snow melts now so I can take it out and quit with the poser shots.

Its saturday, im at work... its slow and im bored. So what's a guy to do??? Lets pull the 4Runner around back and see how much flex we can get!?!?! I have an ad on Craigslist right now looking for a new hood & drivers side fender. Its not cherry, but it will sure serve its purpose!!

Push & pull shouldnt matter. I would think it would work... i have heard of people using WRX clutches in their 2.2 Legacys Im suprised you havent gotten a better responce. I hate to say it, but NASIOC maybe the best place for a more correct answer.

Is your lifted running?

Sweet, lets go!

You planning on using ATV rims?

Those Days are Over! What was that canyon you took me to the day I brought my Hatch up there? When it was stock, not when it was lifted... ...I wanna go back there now!

Replacing the gears. I cant afford to stack t-cases. I do have a spare case and I had originally planned on putting double cases in my old truck, but its cheaper to just do the gears for now. Then later, when i want to go EVEN LOWER i will stack a second case and have 2.28:1 + 4.7:1

I just ordered 4.7:1 transfercase gears for it :grin: Cant wait. This thing will be brutal!!
