February 6, 201115 yr Author Hello every one, Thanks for the warm welcome. I have a odd question, the gl doesn't have cup holders. Is there anything I can do about this ?
February 6, 201115 yr Most 80s Subarus dont unfortunately... you can buy aftermarket ones... Or if yours isnt dual range, the spot between the e-brake and the driver seat makes a nice "Double Gulp" holder.. Just watch your accelerations and stops.
February 7, 201115 yr I lightened the picture up in photoshop, it's gotta be lifted. Looks like a 4" too! And straight and clean like previously stated. Nice:headbang:
February 11, 201115 yr Author 177xxx and it sound great, from what I can tell it has been well maintained. It does have a 4.5 lift. Unfortunately, doesn't have on the fly 4x4 :cool:
February 11, 201115 yr Does the 4wd not work, or is the car front wheel drive. you can shif into 4wd while driving, just let off the gas, engage, go. Do not do this while spinning wheels while stuck. But you can drive in and out of 4wd at any speed.

February 13, 201115 yr How so ? you will find it out when u got a snow. I've been driving on snowing with 4wd becuase i live near mountain from Oregon. anyways, if not use on 4WD then will going pretty slip off and will for sure get going slow down because of wagon pretty light weight.:-\ what's your plan for project on ur wagon?
February 13, 201115 yr Hello every one, Thanks for the warm welcome. I have a odd question, the gl doesn't have cup holders. Is there anything I can do about this ? I just got an 86 GL wagon myself, and no joke, the cup holders was one of the first things I noticed on the ride home. I'll have to get on that soon!
February 14, 201115 yr Author Ok well I found out that is has a dual range tranny, I thought it had like locking hubs. My main project is the cup holders. Edited February 14, 201115 yr by ontherun987
February 14, 201115 yr Ok well I found out that is has a dual range tranny, I thought it had like locking hubs. My main project is the cup holders. you should do some researching on your trans, since it is not at all what you think it would be, with no transfer case or center diff. have fun. ............................................................................................
February 14, 201115 yr Who sold this thing to you? All you care about is cupholders, you didn't even know it was 4wd... somebody has commited Subaru sin by selling a Roo like that to somebody who has no idea what it even is. Hopefully being a member of this board will turn that around...
February 15, 201115 yr Ok well I found out that is has a dual range tranny, . That is like looking between your legs and finding out you have a penis.
February 15, 201115 yr First off..Welcome aboard and nice Soob man,i miss my old 86 GL with dual range.. stock with all seasons,i'd go where trucks couldn't..(mainly cause they were to big) does it have owners manual ? if so then just read up on the dual range,you'll grow to love and cherish it.. this was my 86 GL (not meaning to hi jack your thread) Edited February 15, 201115 yr by subie94
February 15, 201115 yr Subarus are always a good car to learn how to work on. Get to know this car well, as it is different than most examples of cars. Behold the wonders of 80's subarus!

I still remember doing front brakes for first time..was a little confused when i found out the caliper piston had to be turned back in and not pushed like most cars.... btw,on the cup holder issue,just get a cheap universal one and you'll be good to go.. http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_Adjustable-Drink-Holder-Bell-Automotive_25984501-P_N3038_A|GRP2013____ can't recall if there's room for this type but just as example.. http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_Door-Mount-Drink-Holder-Bell-Automotive_25984516-P_N3038_A|GRP2013____
