Struts/Springs? Bilstein, Gabriel, Monroe? others?
stock struts are adjustable. the ride height are adjustable, but it makes it stiffer also. I run Gr2's and are very happy with them

Anyone with pictures of two tone paint jobs? (loyale wagons)
Yea ea82 wagon body style started in 85. thanks, its a subaru color called Harb green. Paint code 535 i believe. The black of the bedliner shows dirt pretty good, but i dont care, my car is always dirty anyway. I just love the fact that since i do a LOT of logging road driving, that rock chips dont matter

4X2 to 4X4
well personally, i would leave the hatch as 4x4. It is a much better canidate for offroading.

14" M/T tires
4 Wheel parts lists SSR's at 98.99$. Do you have a link to were you can get them for under 90$. If so, im sure a lot of people would love to get em for that price.

Hurley's axle thread
very well said. It doesnt only give you tire clearance, it helps a lot more on body clearance. so you dont get hung up on stumps and what not that jump out in front of you

new to the soobs
ok, u definatly want a 5spd or 4 sp, auto would down right suck. Atv tires would work, if you lighten youre soob a lot, and get custom wheels made like summer. as far as the ride goes, not to bad. I run bias super swampers, ride like a bat out of bell The all terrains i have ride well. Hope that helps o ya most people including myself say the ea81(pushrod) motor is a better motor

Hurley's axle thread
ditto, when you say 4" lift kit, i assume it is one from like ozified or a company? not homemade right? If ur talking nonhomade, dont worry about it. The only lift i can think of that adds excessive strain to the axles is the AA high clearance lift, but its still not horrible. Ask numbchux on that one. Home made, if u drop the rear diff down to, you will be fine.
-
Finally lifted!!!
dayum dude!!!! that thing is monsterous for a 4" lift. I gotta ask, how bad do those big tires hurt ur gearing? o ya, another question, how much clearance is under you're oil pan? it looks like 15" to me... :-D

new to the soobs
i can answer some of these Gl and Dl are trim packages. Lift kits, if you can weld good, they arnt that hard to make. Ea81 is a Overhead valve motor, it came with 82-up brats, 80-84 wagons, and 80-up hatchs Ea82 is SOHC and came in +85 wagons. It came with a hitachi carb, SPFI, or MPFI If you are going to lift a wagon, i would suggest getting a ea81 wagon(80-84) with a dual range 4wd. Get a 4" lift from one of the few suppliers[Ozified, SJR, Allied Armament(not sure, check the group buy thread)]. Then you could run some 27" tires easily. Gearing would be ok. I wouldnt suggest going over 29" tires without a divorced T case, although some people have. At least my car does pretty well in ruts, the clearance under the diffs/skidplate is very nice. Its the body clearance that hurts us. Gotta love lifted soob look

Umm,interesting...
yea go to a autoparts store, and get a can of seafoam. Trust me, it does wonders
