Are your tyres exactly the same size?
Uneven tyre sizes, even just alot of wear to some tyres can cause bind up in the Gearbox.

well i was looking around and and can see where most things are going to fit in, apart from the solid metal plate bit. and the two small black bushes.. any help would be appreciated. The Metal Plate goes between the diff and the diff carrier to space the diff down. The two 1" black blocks go under ...

It's a shame the rite up for the red Brumby isn'tHereanymore.

The Intercooler fan is a fairly common mod for offroaders with top mounts.

A lot of the mods discussed on here are for situations Subaru never expected their cars to be in, like deep soft sand low range churning or or the Fan switch for water crossings.

I've seen a couple of early Lib's where they added remote central locking by putting only the drivers door actuator and receiver in. It works because when you press the button it unlocks the drivers door which triggers the factory central locking to open the others just like you where using the key ...

No Ej turbo ever came with dual range.

Done it with a chain block where i have heaps of height, check your crane can lift the length of them over the rad support panel first.

I suspect though, it's more likely your bonnet is at fault. If the hinge gets stiff and you keep opening the bonnet without lubing it, the mounting area on the corner of the bonnet will bend and fracture. have a look at it while you move the bonnet up and down. My Brumby did the alternative, the bo...

Take it to a Panel Shop and get a quote.
The quote should say what they're planning to do, eg change suspension parts or straighten chassis.

Took a few vids with the new camera, but the file sizes are an issue,
so here are the stills...

How many hours before dawn are you planning to start?
I'm in Bundy with a noisy wheel bearing till tomorrow arvo.

p.s. QLD wet or NSW wet?

You're Best bet might be to measure the hight of the two good tyres as best you can, then find a place that does second hand tyres.
Then you can get CV's now and replace all four tyres when they need it.

Have a look at this,
A few members have them and are very happy with them, simplest thing to hook up too.
NB, Not recommending this seller particularly, just the item.

The Awd box is better on road, the 4wd box is better in extreme 4wding.
How much time do you spend on each?
I reckon i could count on one hand the number of times the center diff has let me down.

... but I'd be a bit dubious about cast alloy for a sump guard... I had a subaxtreme gaurd on my Impreza, Very happy with the performance! The impact that killed it was nasty, it had a collection of scratches and gouges from previous "close incounters". Will be buying another one. Daza. :D http://i...
