October 2, 200916 yr I've talked to the guy that has the John Deere Brat from WCSS10. He's doing a Zuki case and cut the tunnel to clear it with the trans in the stock location. Says the sheetmetal surrounding it will make a nice arm rest. And it's tucked up in with the body. Nothing hanging down. mine is all protected like that too, but I wouldn't think the sheetmetal inside would be tall enough for an armrest? but could be different for a gen1, and if he clocks it or not....
October 2, 200916 yr got the taco rear home, need to find a driveline next checked all the ones I have none fit you'll need to get a Toy rear driveshaft (very strong) and have it made to the corret length, with either a Nissan flange, or an adapter to go from the toy flange to the nissan flange. my front shaft is made with a soob front yoke, and the back has a sammy flange and u-joint.
October 2, 200916 yr Make custom driveshafts SJR: http://infohost.nmt.edu/~jscarbro/driveshaft.htm I know a handful of people who do this to their trail rigs. Sucks on the street, but you'll never worry about your driveline on the trails (maybe overkill for a subie) but the cheapest option out there. -Brian
October 2, 200916 yr God! Wonder how that feels when going only 25mph! its got to cause alot of vibration, Kinda sucks you'd need to trailer your rig to the wheeling area insted of driving it there. But that is a nice soild shaft, no need to worrie on breaking those yokes! -Tom
October 4, 200916 yr Author heres the rearend Toyota tacoma rearend with 4.10 gears Nissan 720 transfercase little over 2:1 ratio
October 4, 200916 yr its just sittin in the shop, you should go wheelin with us when you come over and also bring Gurus linkage lol wow i was reading and thinking the same thing haha i need to get my rump roast down to bills. thanks Rob
October 5, 200916 yr i'm so local, why haven't I come out to see this build in person? PM me your address, I wanna check this thing out.
October 8, 200916 yr Aww, Scott. no more center consol, where am I to put my beer? :-p But really, making good progress. is this just still a Mock-up, or is it finaly coming together? Does look good though. -Tom
October 8, 200916 yr Is this the new Aquafina 8" lift prototype?? This thing is going to look awesome!! Are you going to link it in the rear, or just go with some springs and call it good? Since you have IFS still, i would look into doing a 4 link rear end, the suspension will cost more, but you're articulation will thank you for it.
October 8, 200916 yr The articulation he gets right now will be sufficient the front doesnt articulate by much but the rear will its not a rock crawler its a subie
October 8, 200916 yr Great build by the way hope to see more of the undercarraige thanks mike in oregon we love you man hey looking to get a few of those machined strut top pieces from you thanks
October 9, 200916 yr Subie or not, articulation is key when you are wheelin. Unless you want to lock up the front & rear. And if you ask me, it is a rock crawler!
October 9, 200916 yr Author I like the subaru , I just dont like breaking and bending and no low gears so hope to fix that with this moshine , 4 link would be ideal in the rear I just dont have much room above the diff as I want the gas tank to stay there , water bottles catch the drips from the brake lines
October 9, 200916 yr you only really want like 5 or 6 inches of uptravel anyway.so , i bet if the shocks , at a bottomed out position, also triangulated would accomplish being able to keep those tires up in there, but the pumpkin off of the gas tank you will probably have a hell of a rake...... cheers, brian
October 9, 200916 yr There is 3 link as well, and that doesnt require as much room above the diff. But I agree, I didnt think about the gas tank being in the way.
October 9, 200916 yr There is 3 link as well, and that doesnt require as much room above the diff. But I agree, I didnt think about the gas tank being in the way. thats why I have a fuel cell now....
October 10, 200916 yr How big is your fuel cell? 17 gallon.... it's the skinniest I could get (7" wide, and it's sunk into the bed of the brat 6")
October 10, 200916 yr 17 gallon.... it's the skinniest I could get (7" wide, and it's sunk into the bed of the brat 6") Oh, so you have about 2 extra gallons then stock. Does it use an internal pump? (New to me) -Tom
January 7, 201016 yr Author it time to get back on this heres the planned revised specs 4.10 toyota rear end 4.10 subaru rear diff upfront 31" mudders would like to get some 32 x 9.50 TLS Swampers eventually, will wait till its runnin dual transfercases, stock subaru and Nissan 720 bob the rear pinch the front winch mounts front and rear transverse buggy spring in rear with tons of flex with airshock overrides engine not sure may go EA81 or carbed EJ or Atomic flux capacitor would like to have it up and going for this summer season of Walker wheelin
January 9, 201016 yr Oh yeah, flux capacitor all the way! Sounds like a wicked wheeler Scott. Can't wait to see how it turns out!
