Hey all, I thought i would introduce myself. My name is James. I am the parts guy at a local body shop. I've been into subarus for about 2 years now. I never had a "real" 4x4, because my first subaru made me belive that nothing is better off road than a subaru.

I started out with buying a second hand hack job 92 loyale that a friend bought from an elderly couple. It started as a fwd auto, and then he switched it to a 4wd. he then sold it to another friend of mine, who converted it to a dual range 5 speed, and a posi 3.9 rear. That's when i got it. I beat the living snot out of it. Now it's a work in progress with a ea82T, rx struts, and 31 inch tires. It's waiting for a custom front lift before its back in action.

I also have a 87 gl 3 door, wich is in good shape, It was a dd for a while, but it jumped time while offroading at the silver lake sand dunes in silver lake Mi. this one's on hold for now untill my loyale sedan is finished up

 

thanks guys, i look forward to learning and reading all the usefull info at this place
