Last year, late November I fitted new ball joints, tie rod ends and rack ends. I finally got two new tyres and an alignment booked in for today. I hadn’t driven the brumby since the initial drive after all the work - alignment was WAY out, tyres were cactus so didn’t bother trying to fix it, just le...

Neat work as always Bantum.

I’m keen to see the wrap you go with!

Trip to Japan - sick! That’s one country of two that I’m keen to visit at some point!
Sounds like you had a wicked time with a white Christmas too

It won’t be a fun exercise that’s for sure. This could be where U pullit becomes your friend for sourcing the inner cups and matching races. At least you’ll be able to pull them apart and count the splines before buying them. I hope they work out for you. If you can work out the diff spline swap it ...

Anything EJ that fits on the end of your MY shaft will net you an inner CV cup with 25 spline count. Getting the spline for the ball race and cage correct for your shafts is the painful bit. If there’s a shaft builder joint near you it could be worth the shot talking to them about what you need. Or ...

MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone. Another year almost done - and an action packed one again!

I hope you all enjoyed Christmas with friends, family or doing what you love doing!

That’s neat mate! I didn’t know the 3D printers could print urethane - I’ll have to look into this! Bantum made some on thingiverse ages ago. I printed some in my early days (about 9 months ago :lol: ) but never fitted them. The piece of Subarino’s garden hose I fitted back in 2016 is still doing th...

There really aren’t any - none as good as genuine OEM. No one wants to pay OEM prices though either! So far Repco drive shafts seem to work pretty good for the most part. I have two on the front of the brumby, probably have 20,000km on them. I replaced a boot recently as it was spraying grease every...

Correct about the body lift not changing cv angles. Stock springs should bring this back to a normal angle. What boots are you using? Subarino recommends stretchy boots as he’s experiencing good results with this style of boot. They’re available on his new online store ;) ;) The wheel size will lift...

Sounds about right for a Weber! I’d stick with the factory carby and do a good overhaul on it - maybe even rejet it. From memory Willy Fisterbottom did a write up about resetting the hitachi carb for better performance. As for the CV boots, that lift combo would look awesome but would certainly chew...

G’day Geefish, which steel wheels are you after? There’s the dull steel rims that aren’t real dressy and good for hub caps. Then there’s the 8 spoke Sunraysia rims. Painted white from the factory. There are two version of these - early ones that came on the brumby that won’t clear the L series calip...

^ totally agree with both of you above! I typically carry out more rubbish than what I bring in with me in the form of packaging and food that end up as scraps. Last big item I took out was a fold up table - the ones with the white plastic top - from a campsite in the Blue Mountains. This place was ...

Looks like another good trip happening here!

We all get stuck from time to time. One of my worst bogging sessions was on a beach closer to Robe. There are pics around here somewhere about it.

I hope you gave the Silverbullet a good wash on the underside after this trip!

Heads up for anyone still on the forum - this forester is up for sale!! I can't believe it, I guess ppl move on from time to time. Up for a steal with all its fruit with it. From memory Nachaluva is asking $1950 for it - locker, pepper pots, 4 inch lift, EJ22 "big block" (as MCM would say), snorkel....

Bumpty!!! Dropping in for your bi-annual forum post bombing? :lol: Bantum, gotta love the BambuLabs' 3D printers! I presume this is printed in ABS? I'd love to get into some of that but the use of ABS in school isn't something we're setup for properly. No one can really tell us what sort of filtrati...

Bantum, such a tease!

Can’t go wrong in any of the larger Subarus. For me I would think the 2L engines are too small if you like some pulling power - but with that said, they probably go pretty good, I’ve not driven the 2Ls before. In my family we have a 2.5L Subaru Liberty manual - the RX model. Goes really well in my b...

G’day Spanner, On top of what Subyroo said, search some websites that sells vehicles and see what’s out there that’s compatible. Once you’ve viewed several vehicles (or maybe one) you should have an idea of a ball park figure that will remove the vehicle from your front yard. The Holden ute sounds l...

Sick trip mate and an awesome report too! Very jelly you’re getting out there and using your subi - I miss that! Live it up before you settle down, I can’t complain, I would like to be doing more of this sort of stuff though! Keep it up! The old girl will take you many places! Nothing like working t...

Well done on the repair! Looks neat. The scenic flight should be good. Best get cracking, I hear Lake Eyre is evaporating quickly! Probably why southern NSW and northern Vic seem to be getting good rain while southern vic isn’t getting its usual amount. Either way, the whole trip will be an awesome ...
