lifted craftsman

ATV park? You dont have your own property to tear up? A lot of my riding is actually done on neighboring fields and woods. I do fairly little on mine.

we rent, and there isnt much land around me that isnt leased buy a guy for hunting and i dont want to mess up that for him, and there isnt much deep mud within driving distance on the mower

well, i picked up some silver paint for dixie today , going to get her town down tonight and ready for paint
2 of the parks have replied saying they would love to see dixie at a event so i might have to make it happen lol

well, i might get to work on dixie tomorrow, i got the hood off and sanded down and ready for paint, got to remove fenders and make a custom grill

any one know if they make a heat resistant chrome paint?

Umm i think so but i dont know where to get it.

me neither, ill look on amazon lol
about the time i went outside to work on dixie this morning it started storming again so i said forget it and came back inside lol might get to work on her tonight who knows

just wondering and need some help, should i leave the voltage regulator on the 29, and what exactly does it do?

got the motor of dixie, and i have the hood sanded and primed, what yal think about me using the grill off the racer?

this grill is 1 3/4" shorter than the stock one, think it will work? or should i go with a custom one?

guys, i need opinions, should i use 24"x8"x12" tires on the front(which requires me finding a set of rims)
or should i use some 25"x11"x9" tires that i have that are already on the rim? either way ima make a set of hubs for the front

I would go with the 25s.

, thats what i was thinking, it give it a smoother ride
and she might float doubt it tho

as I said in chat, bigger is always better

well in that case i needsome 17 in rims, my buddy has a set of 38 mickythompsons he said i could have

wel guys, ima relocate my relocate my shifter back to the fender i think,idk yet, it will be simple to do, i will run a bar to the tab i welded down for it to be where it is, and then from there i will run a bar back to the original shift lever

this may work too... iirc nobody's mentioned trying it yet. I know I used half of trick on my old subaru mudder....

get some 4 lug hubs from an old subaru. the big wide ones. actually get 1 to start with, and check to see if the 4 lug adapters fit the center (and smaller) 4 bolt hub retainer mount holes. Assuming they do (and I do believe they will... I have a hunch) the next step is the real trick:

set the hub up so you can pound out or cut and drill out 2 of the lugs opposite each other. 2 that line up regardless, top-bottom, side-side whatever...

once they're out - you should have something roughly like this : (o o) but not the other 2. Moving on...

Get a chevy 6 lug rim and set it on the hub - the 2 remaining lugs will hold it down. Mark the other 4 holes with rim on and drill out. Get the replacement lug bolts and nuts to match the subaru ones - 4 more for each hub and press/weld in. Voila! you now have 6 lug hub to mount Chevy/toyota/ whatever type rims in any size with that pattern, and of course, bigger tires

Special bonus - it acts like a spacer too!

I have a big hunch this'll work...

ive never thought of that lol, and it just so happens my buddy has a wrecked subaru

exhaust is half way done

get the other side finished now, tomorrow i have to rustle up 4 nuts to hold the exhaust on, then ill get a sounds test vid for all yall, parts should be here by next wednesday, and ill have the money to get the pulley next week, so i "should" have a test drive vid out for yall

Sweet cant wait for a test drive.
