I could help with the machine work

your right

go for it

Ive been looking at some of the redrives mostly the belt type , I think it has potentual, one drawback is its one gear not a hi or low

is walker valley closed? wheres the details?

Adam if you need any help ( machine work, welding etc. CAD drawing ) I will volunter myself and equiptment Scott

you are correct,. that said if someone wanted the rear axle moved back I could fab up a custom lift with your specs: of lift, increased axle angle and axle placement also you can choose which componants you want on your lift which will give different results, say you want high clearance , then you would want to keep the rear cross tube and diff up high which would resolt in the swing arm swinging down causing a clearance issue at front of tire, now if want to keep everything at stock geometry the you would lower every part equally , this will keep the wheels centered .also it may be possible to put a spacer between the u-joint flange and driveline to prevent having a custom driveline built

heres a few I have had no faliure to date , pictured is the compopnants for a 6" lift , the 3-1/2" lift has less parts

85 hatch junk 85 ea82 wagon chopped up for pattern making 88 wagon lifted runs 91 loyale cooked engine 88 turbo wagon runs , may become the ultimate offroader 87 ea82 wagon stock daily driver 90 Lagacy wagon fires , working on this one 7 total 3 run 4 dead 2 others at my place but they are not mine

the spare 15 rim is made of thinner material , also it has no bead ridge that helps lock the tire onto the rim

Go Rollie Go !!!!

good luck, your not the first guy who thought this would be a great idea, , you would only need one with a locker, what most guys do is remove a axle for street driving, takes a few minutes and 2 roll pin removale

maybe it could be a Creepie Crawler

so if you add a nissan transfercase with a 2:1 ratio your final crawl ratio would be 44

this is some good info,. may be closed .... huuummmm

I keep seeing this term, "Crawl Ratio" now how is it figured out ? is it the low dual range gear x 1st gear x diff ratio ? what are the stock Soobs? what is like the ideal ratio for offroad?

Rollie try this http://www.dnr.wa.gov/dataandmaps/maps/pdf/walk_both.pdf its a DNR ORV park , Ive never been there , heard lots about it

now that Northfork is closed:( we need a new spot to play , I would like to check out Walker Valley near Mt. Vernon WA , understand its a area were you would need a lift and tires, would like to go out maybe after the new year , whos up to it? , would be good to have a winch along and some experiance , maybe theres a few thats been up before , maybe even a Jeep or a Truck , it should be fun.

Echo papers a good spot also rods Japanease Auto on the Guide , good Luck , keep us posted on your mods SJR

I have a 87 ea82 SPFI 5sp dual range car tag 12/86 the computer I think gave out, the red LED doesnt come on , I have no spark , the car was running fine then just gave out, now I was wondering which computers will work out of which cars, I have a good comp from a 91 Loyale , it gives off flashing codes but still no spark, I noticed bunch of numbers on the ECM which ones are important and what exchanges with what? the original ECM has a big "N" on it also 22611 AA200 MECF-011 , 6Y24 3E thank you Scott

Im running the ssr tsl 27" swampers they are way cool I was suprized at how quiet they are I am running 24 Lbs on 15 x 6 toyota rims off road they are King

you should be able to get by with 1" - 1-1/2" extra , no more

on the Nissan pickup whats the gear ratios for the diffs and is the diff the same outercase as the soob?, I know the axle shafts are beafier and bolt up with flanges , the case looks similar, if the ratio is the same as a soob I was thinking of running a front nissan set up in the rear of the soob , also whats the ratio in the transfercase? Thanks Scott

James regardless of where and when the WCSS8 will be I think it would be cool if we (the subaru offroad community) could set up some type of compitition , more specialized toward ,rally, offroad , , there could be a hill climb compitition, mud bog compitition, , rally course ,, technical course , car show aimed towards "Offroad" , etc., ect., something for everyone who likes to take thier car and skills to the limit offroad, if we get organized thier could even be a event every other month or every quarter, up and down the coast, one meet could be in NW wash another SW WA , another in NW OR, and so on , the kick off to get the interest and ball rolling could be held at the AA Factory with all its amentities Scott
