I know there are a few guys around this area that have lifted Subarus, like scott, Rollie and andy. Of course there is our crew in skagit Co. as well, most of the guys have kinda got out of it or their car is kinda outa it. Ithink there are only 3 or 4 of us left. anyways, I was wondering if there are very many other lifted subies around. It would be good to maybe all meet up and do something. Iknow that lots of people don't like to go wheeling a long ways from home but no matter where I go I for the most part end up breaking something but thats all part of the fun. By the way my name is Jeff I have and 82 Brat w/ a 4" lift. I live in downtown Mt. Vernon WA and I Also have an 83 gl10 4" lifted wagon, I'm just now finishing up on. I'll put pics up in a bit.

Just broke another rear axle this weekend so it will probably be a couple weeks until I can afford another. I am usually up for an adventure but would like to have at least one spare axle for something like Walker Valley.

This is my Brat

 

This is my buddy Woodys Brat, its been down for about two years but its coming back.

Nice looking ride. Makes me want to lift my brat.

This is the 83 gl10 wagon Just one right rear shock to go and she's all done.

if ya count the 1.5" i gained when i put on my 15" pugs with 60 series tires, than i've got the "lifted" white wagon that you probably see once in awhile i live in burlington)

are your wheels a silver color and your car is a white gen 3?

hear that Jeff ............ last 2 trips I went to walker both those cars broke axles yours and his need a upgrade Scott

I know. There's not much I can say for the axles except for, They brake... alot . Next lifted Subaru for me will be a gen 3. I have broke 20 cv alxes on my Brat 18 fronts and 2 rears. They are the weak link in gen 2s.

What do you suggest? aside from moving to an ea82 although a lifted ea82 sedan would be pretty sweet.

Let's meet up at Reiters Pit. There's plenty of not so super gnarly stuff. And plenty of the super gnarly stuff if you crave it. You got that Saturday picked out yet Scott?

 

I did figure it out, I did have a broken motor mount and I fixed it. I think I broke it way back when we went to evens creek and I just 2 months ago changed it out. I used old axles from todds and some I just rebuit. The only thing that it would do to the axle was pop the iner joint keeper ring off ,that was from it getting pulled to far out. On the rear I just shatter the outside bells, I don't know if thats just because they are old or what.

I never broke a rear axle untill I welded the rear end up so those two factors combined might be the perfect combo for a broken rear CV axle.

I would like to go up to reiter pit, I'm sure if I go Scott would not want to go because I'll probably break something and it'll be over in the first 40 min. Thats the way the last 2 trips we've gone on have ended up.

But I would like to run up there some weekend soon. I might be able to get todd to come down too. Woody and Will would probably like to come as well. They are both lfted.
