operose Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 for "light" offroading they're fine. maybe check out what some of the other members on the board have been doing with them??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoodsWagon Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 you can bash them through a lot of things, just have to keep momentum up. Getting stuck with one wheel in the are is likely, the center diff can only transmit so much power to the other wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachbumberry Posted February 17, 2006 Author Share Posted February 17, 2006 would putting a transfer case from a better 4 wheel drive system be better (such as nissan or toyota)? we found one on craigslist in austin... they have a corrola and legacy (legacy needs alil work... oil leak, cv boot lil stuff.) for 1000... that way me and my sis can have a car for each of us...

97OBW Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 jumps...i dont think so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 swapping in a tcase takes alot of fabrication, even on a true 4WD older gen soob but, the center diff is viscous, and quite so. so it's pretty hard to have one wheel spinning free (you have to be VERY stuck!) the biggest disadvantage is the lack of lo range. makes it hard to do steep hillclimbs and such. but the added low end torque of the EJ motor makes up for much of that. but yea, they make pretty good wheelers, check out what some other members have been doing with their EJ series cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burtonsnowman Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 jumps...i dont think soYeah, doesn't sound very "light" if you're planning on jumping it, man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachbumberry Posted February 17, 2006 Author Share Posted February 17, 2006 id propbably pull some weight off of it, than get a lift (aa is the only one i could find for it) and jump it from there.... probalbly not real often, but enough to say i jump it...
