Uberoo Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 So in six months I would be shipping out to basic training but not having a wheeler is killing me.I have a 78 brat that needs some rust repair done that I could fix and put a small lift in it with some smallish tires and go but it wouldn't be very much fun with only a EA71 and single range 4x4.I am wondering if anyone would be willing to loan a wheelable subaru in the time being.I would fix anything that happens to it during the 6 months then bring it back to you.It doesn't even have to be really built,even a 2" lift and some halfway decent tires would be enough to have fun in.like I said my other option is to weld in new rocker panels and floor boards and fabricate a mild lift for the 78 brat and put EA81 rear suspension under it.Normally I would go with a 235/75/15 because they are plentiful but I don't know if a EA71 with no low range could motivate those tires enough.I know 235/75/15's on my 2" lifted EA81 wagon made it gutless..Ive looked around for a 215/75/15 and they are either not around or mega bucks.. I know its kinda an odd request,but I dont really have time to build the brat to something that could outwheel my hatch(RIP). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott in Bellingham Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 interesting, I have my coupe 6" lift EJ22 its just sitting, what about damage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uberoo Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) I wheeled my hatch for a year and a half over here and got no body damage in that time because over here we have mud with a tree some 50 ft away.Of course I would wheel it like my own and take care of it to the best of ability.Even when I went up to EC I only got a tiny dent on upper 311,but that wasn't enough for the gods that hate me apparently... mechanical damage falls under the category of stuff I would fix..
