Scott in Bellingham

Building up a EA82 for offroad, would like to get more travel, would like to know what struts for the front and what springs/shocks for the rear I could use to do this, I remember seeing some long travel front struts I think from australia, anyway just trying to get as much flex out of the car as possible, the CVs will take more angle but the stock struts/springs wont allow it , any thoughts, even retrofitting something else would be fine,

nice rig thanks for sharing I like how you used the complete legacy crossmembers and front suspension,

this the toyota , ? what was it how did it compare?

when the weather warms up Im up to a sandlake trip

14mm

I have 14 pugs on my 80 brat the issue is in the rear up front the torsionbar sticks out that will be your tire issue I think my tires are 145/75-14 and they rub the bar

If you want we could do it at my place

Jeff I might sit this one out, I was hoping for some nice fluffy snow , from what I gather its messy up there , also my builder wants to work on my addition that day and other stuff I forgot about, sorry man, hope to have my red car going by next trip maybe a shake down at walker in Feb for my Birthday run Scott

alot have been done do a search and you will see , you will need the EJ harness with computer, a adapter ring, a redrilled EA82 flywheel, with that carbed fuel pump will need replaced with a higher presure FI pump, a electric pusher fan in front of the radiator as theres no room behind it, I sell these parts

whats the weather and snow conditions going to be like next Saturday?Im hoping for snow like last year, so what will it be like?

86 Nissan 720 4x4 with extra cab, whats the rearend gear ratio ?

there may be a couple sammys coming with me

you got 13 days to get it ready for Rieter:eek:

yes a few times, I was ramming and jamming to hard last time

Ill be there Jeff @ Conway, whose all going? Rick still owes me a rear axle maybe you or him could bring it, lets all bring a full size spare, jack, lug wrench, and some retrival gear, and extra parts,and tools we'll be along way from home so lets go prepared, I feel I'll need a bunch of water as mine has a small leak, got a new camera its a TZ5 Lumix, love it, , should buy a bigger Memory card,

toyota makes a 3.9, if the ratios a little off you can run different tire sizes front and rear , when your spinning in the mud it wont matter anyway if the ratios a tad off, Ive never broke a Axle wheelin offroad, they have always been EA82 , my weak point is the front radius rods, I seem to like bending them, the nissans have a few 3.9s '68-'72 datsun 510 wagon(leaf spring 4-lug) I believe these were 29spline, all other H190's are 31 spline gear ratio was 3.90 Nissan pickup 521, 620 models 59-79 all models leaf spring 6-lug 3.90-4.30 depending on year and intended uses (some were camper specials) Nissan 720 pickup 80-86 2wd regular cab/king cab all transmissions leaf spring 6-lug 3.42-3.90 depending on tranny and cab Nissan D21 pickup 86.5-95 V-6 2wd 3.90

EJ pan sits lower say 3/4" guess, theres nothing much in there so a pan mod would be a easy thing

Last trip out broke a stub axle on a large concrete obstacle I made a splined ring to aid getting the stub out of the doner diff, I cut the splined hole off a junk axle cup then held it with a pipe wrench worked good, then used a 8 mm 6 point socket to get the funny bolt off, wrong tool all I had ,the correct tool is a E10 torx Socket

First trip out Walker Valley Jan 06 out to walker again 26" mudders With Jeff Carbed EJ 2.2 with Escort disty More Walker Valley Bpbbed the rear 16" Narrowed the front

my white EA82 GL Wagon turns 3 years old , well 3 years since I lifted it with my prototype 3-1/2" Alloy lift, its a one of a kind lift , I dropped the engine 2" , left the radius rod mounts up in stock location , Ive enjoyed this car over the last 3 years, sold it ounce then got it back, hears the specs 87 GL EA82 Wagon rust free Weberized EJ 2.2 3-1/2" SJR lift 27"x 850 SSR Swampers 15" puegot Alloys CB Welded rear diff 16" Bobbed rear 8000 LB Ramseys winch

maybe just ride with you, or maybe take a totaly stock car, both not ! :banana:finally got the White car all back together so its a go , probably tow it with mars black wagon,

Jan 17th works for me , wife and child want to go also

mine

I have a gen1 car sitting here waiting for me to tackle it

befor I installed the EJ2.2 into my wheeler I wanted lower gears as the EA82 engine didnt have enough power, now that I have the EJ and less weight gearing is not a issue, I can go up hills that befor I had to get a run at and sometimes not make because of lack of power, I feel what I gots a good combo if you want to stay simple and stick with subaru, EA82 body, dual range and axles EJ engine tires no larger then 28"
