Stop!


Before you do this be warned check the size of the auto as mine doesn't fit in my brumby I had to lift it 75 mm and mod the transmission tube to fit it in!

Sounds like the passenger side needs adjusting its a bit of playing around but I found with mine after a good adjustment I didn't need the new rubbers I thought I did!

Or if its not too late investigate the option of a race tank revolution used to sell them drag cars and all sorts use them typically rectangular so just make up a tray for it to sit on! i've been looking at mine and theres plenty of room with the 3 inch lift!

yeah, 'IT' would be the electric motor. I just had a second look at the photos. Looks like an 'L' series? the centre diff is to allow the front and rear wheels to turn at different speeds while cornering. The problem is, you don't have one. So if you engage 4wd while on bitumen and try to turn, the...

Not sure where you got your info from but you definitely need to get a MOD plate if you put an EJ20T into an NA Impreza or Liberty for that matter in QLD NSW and act are the same, In the ACT I don't need an engeneers report for my lift kit according to their rules and regulations but I can tell you...

We used to be able to get snow tread tyres over here but because not many people use 13 inch rims anymore they may be harder to get but you could always try some 14's or Peugeot 15's. I have seen them with irrigator tyres on the brumby/MV1800 they look identical to tractor tyres except smaller altho...

Sorry I just re read your post, I'd try a diff splitter between the motor and your diff and maybe borrow a 4.11 setup to see how it works. I've driven a twin engined scraper before and always been warned not to have more throttle on the rear engine than the front when cornering as the front is tryin...

Have you considered using a 2wd box for the engine and running the elec. motor off where the tail shaft goes, you may want to get a centrifugal clutch for it or a splitter/overdrive with one of the gears removed so you can engage or disengage the elec motor as you choose!

the rails (the bits that bolt between the seats and the floor! will normally be the bits that have been modified so another set of liberty seats should bolt up if you remove the seats and bolt the old rails onto the new seats!
