May 19, 200520 yr i finally have it home now. but of coarse i have had some serious problems and all i have to do is the steering and get a front driveline. after that its smooth sailing.... i mean mud flinging... well ne ways. here are some pics of it in my back yard. looks a lot better not in a shop. hopefully you will see it soon on the trails. enjoy http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=4120
May 19, 200520 yr Looks good, and looks like it will be a hell of a crawler! You use Toyota 8" axles, or samari axles under it?
May 19, 200520 yr Hmm... I dont know how I missed your buildup of this. More pics pls.. primarily of the transfer case & mounts, and of the shackle points for your springs. I'm curious how you've got the leaves secured to the unibody. Lookin schweet!
May 19, 200520 yr Author yes they are toyota axles underneath it Looks good, and looks like it will be a hell of a crawler! You use Toyota 8" axles, or samari axles under it?
May 19, 200520 yr Author hehehe well to answer your first question the shackles are about 12 inches long and i have a 4 in toyota suspension lift. so prolly roughly around 16 ins or so and for the second one they are pro comp xterains 35x12.5x15. looks like i could fit bigger tires huh hmmm just a thought
May 19, 200520 yr WOWSERS that is high. I think 35's look pretty good on it:slobber: . Any bigger tires and you will be riding in outer space lol Hey man it looks great
May 19, 200520 yr Man, sure looks alot different from when I had it :eek: Cant wait to see it on the trail. We'll see if it can keep up with my new one :brow: Altho it looks like your Hatches little brother :grin:
May 19, 200520 yr are you trying to run with the 79-85 Toy steering (push/pull), or did you switch to the IFS steering (side to side)components?
May 19, 200520 yr Are you using the Toyota transfer case? Wonderin what the gear situation is on that beast? Looks just like those old Stompers! Awsome, Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester

When do you plan on having it finished, and what is the motor going to be that powers it? gotta love the little headbanger. hehehe well to answer your first question the shackles are about 12 inches long and i have a 4 in toyota suspension lift. so prolly roughly around 16 ins or soand for the second one they are pro comp xterains 35x12.5x15. looks like i could fit bigger tires huh hmmm just a thought
May 19, 200520 yr Your XT eats what for breakast, lunch & dinner? I love that Hatch, how does it like turning those 35s?
May 19, 200520 yr with all these people concerned about turning those 35's I'd be doing an ER27 swap just to appease them
May 20, 200520 yr Author with all these people concerned about turning those 35's I'd be doing an ER27 swap just to appease them i was thinking that or a ej22. but for right now... lol stock motor but im going to get my cam redone for torgue.
May 20, 200520 yr Author Your XT eats what for breakast, lunch & dinner? I love that Hatch, how does it like turning those 35s? I eat hondas for breakfast lunch and dinner - subaru. and i plan to also help turn those tires on gears. i have 4.11s in the axles and i can just use my hi 4 wheel drive on teh dual range. im hoping that will at least move me. it should. but then again i dont plan on going on the free way this is strickly off road.
May 21, 200520 yr More pics pls.. primarily of the transfer case & mounts, and of the shackle points for your springs. I'm curious how you've got the leaves secured to the unibody.Oh sure.. respond to everybody else's posts and leave me out in the cold. :-\ :-p
