REAL:1 EXISTING AS FACT
2 TRUE,AS DISTINCT FROM APPARENT OR IMAGED
3 NOT ARTIFICAL OR FALSE
4 WHEEL DRIVE, 4WD, or 4x4 ("four by four") is a four-wheeled Vechicle with a drivetrain that allows all four wheels to receive torque from the engine simultaneously.

LOL KEEP IT COMING

Nice rides.
The only issue with a lifted l steering is normally caused by the bigger rubber and lack of swaybar if removed.Most of the lifts[2" ,3"or4"] don't actual effect the steering geometry.Maybe thats why they are a unreal 4wd.

Sorry mate, I know nothing about trains so I'm not commenting. Next time I see a train though, you can be sure I'll be looking to see how it works.

heh, I bet pretty much zero of the offroading Subarus on here actually do that very often (who here doesn't have an open front diff?)

Me, but it's in my toyota

And eventually, you'd end up with something like this

Needs more HP, but I like it

Think Finke. A chassis set up like that with Subaru running gear (motor and drive train) and suspension like on some of the offroad buggies would be bloody awesome.

I love this thread! "Arc up Australia!!!"

Maybe some of the WA boys would like this - I know Jono would love it and I reckon he could knock it up using some old busted CV's and an EA falcon alternator in his sleep

Arguement aside, quite frankly I admire his effort and orginality of lift. At least he wouldn't rip out any captive nuts, no matter how hard he'd be going...

Its got me thinking... That I couldn't do this or have the requirement for its use.

Cheers

the 12 inch lifted brat looks like a machine. he has done well to get that outback engine in. and the super swampers throw heaps of mud. great tyres

i just want to make sure everyone knows.

IF you buy a live axle 4wd. you DO NOT do away with CV joints they still have 2 each diff

I thought they only had one each diff? and then, only at the front? but hey - I have never owned anything other than subes so what would I know!

Matatak · Post by **Matatak** » Fri Sep 05, 2008 11:16 pm

sorry meant 2 at the fronts...1 at each wheel because they have to turn the wheels somehow.

they are deep inside the swivel hubs and a bitch to get out

brumbyrunner · Post by **brumbyrunner** » Sat Sep 06, 2008 7:35 pm

Err...no.
Some front live axle applications use uni-joints instead of CV joints.
