baccaruda Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 they had longbeds available overseas but that yellow one might look stretchy because of the camera angle and the shape of the topper's window... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backwoodsboy Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 they had longbeds available overseas Woah! Now THAT I did not know:eek: *backwoodsboy begins plot to import longbed brat* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Woah! Now THAT I did not know:eek: They were 2WD 5 speeds with an extra 1(or was it 2?) ft of bed behind the rear wheels. Really silly looking actually. Isreal was the second largest subaru market in the 80's and early 90's and they were sold as delivery vehicles.

A sunroof, Pick-up (real) Subaru ... who could ask for more. I sure wish Subaru would make on today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet82 Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 More pics...? I've never heard of the extended Brat. Seems as though you'd flatten the springs if you put any load in the back? Hummm..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsutomu Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 how hard is it exactly to "bob" a brat? what is involved? is it just cut and "paste/weld"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RdNkBrt Posted February 9, 2007 Author Share Posted February 9, 2007 i've been wondering that myself. i saw a car on here in someone's picture folder that was bobbed front AND back?? I've been planning since day one of being into brats to bob one up, i just figured i'd cut and paste... REAL info would be nice!! haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Just a li´l Question: What´s the Meanin´ of "Bob" a Car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jibs Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Just a li´l Question: What´s the Meanin´ of "Bob" a Car? It's when you cut some of the bed off of a vehicle, to shorten it. creates less overhang for offroading. Look at Post #10 by Skip. See the white Brat that's shorter than normal? That's it.

ezapar Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 It's when you cut some of the bed off of a vehicle, to shorten it. creates less overhang for offroading. Look at Post #10 by Skip. See the white Brat that's shorter than normal? That's it. The two brats in the pics are the same brat. I bobbed it because the back corner was rusted out really bad. The previous owner had worked at a ski resort where he had hauled salt with the brat. I believe I'll be part of bobbing another brat in a few months. A local here is going to lift, bob, and add a 2.2 mated to a 5spd d/r to his 82. He's gathered most of the ingredients, we just need to get it together. If I'm part of the lifting process, it will be my 14th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
