Wasn’t someone asking about JL Wranglers? - think twice !!

All the frame flex, bruh

 

We turned it into this and it still is alive today.

 

Build thread?

 

Nope, just pics of the toys that we built out of rolled Jeeps.

 

It's because the I4 is a world motor, used in lots of Toyota's and represents their brand more than the only US used V6

 

More like you built spaceframe rock buggies using salvaged Jeep engine and drivetrain parts?

 

Yes, it’s a world motor, I just don’t know why it was built over there and shipped instead of built here.


Again, I’m not complaining.

 

^Toyota's product planners back in 2003 probably figured they'd sell more vehicles with the 2TR in Asia Pacific than in North America.

 

Subaru is missing welds completely!!! Also came across Subaru Recalls for Electronic Parking Brake Failures, scary stuff having the cars rolling away.

Looks like the repair is just sending a company-trained welding tech to the dealer to manually weld the the bracket to the frame: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2018/RCRIT-18V675-4839.pdf

The lug nut torque is rather high - 130 ft-lb.
The track bar uses a torque-to-yield bolt at the frame (74 ft-lb then 30 deg), so the bolt is not re-usable.
