Haha I dunno about near stock, these are still 3.5" bigger than the original tyres, but yeah, these are probably the biggest I dare to go with my current setup
Any type of posi/locker for the transaxle? Im fine with running a welded rear around town, i like the looks i get from people when the 235 tires bark while turning a corner. You got a clean looking little rue
Very much similar to installing into more modern R160 diffs, there's just slight tweaking to be done inside to make it fit from what I saw (the bloke in the black shirt was the installer)
The Angry Yob I would love to hear more about the install on the L series. Very interested in one of these but I want to know what I’m getting myself into before I drop $429
@@cartwheels4amile after some research it seems it's not so simple, while it will fit inside an r160 non lsd diff it has a different spline count to the l series axles and also is designer for the newer axles which are male not female
@@cartwheels4amile I'd imagine the best course of action would be getting someone to machine some adapters that fit inside the locker and the end sticking out of the diff case have the correct spline for the l series axles
Stock headers, hot dog resonator in the middle, and a 2" exit pipe out the back. I'm definitely trying to get the time to test it out on the sand, unfortunately I don't know a lot of other people who have stock L Series wagons. My mate is currently fitting a locker to his, and the other ones either have engine or driveline swaps. But I can tell you from my brief foray into the sand a few weeks ago, it makes a hell of a difference, especially up rutted hills
Hey mate, from what I saw (I was guinea pig, the bloke talking was the person who did the install), it was very very minimal, basically was just a matter of squeezing it in to make it fit
Also I'm glad to see a near stock tire size, here in the Pacific Northwest we put on massive tires then bring along several spare CVs

Fantastic, finally some auto lockers for Subarus instead of just welding everything up.
Neat vid man. I just bought a white 1984 like yours yesterday!
Who needs flex when you have a locker 👍😆
This is so freaken awesome! I want one for my SH!!!!

Been daily 'up to 80 miles a day/5 days a week' with a welded diff this whole time. Still no trans axle mod that's worth the effort.
Great vid man !!
Thanks bro! Hoping the holidays gives me a chance to get out again
Note to self: cut Mike's thumb off before next trip
SUBARINO! I like that:)
What's involved with installing a torq locker in an l series??

@@deadpenitence but aren't these lockers designed for male axles (l series have female) also with a different spline count?

Hey mate. Any testing of the auto locker in sand yet? Would love to know whether it has any noticeable impact. Cheers
Hey mate, none so far that I'm aware of, I'm hoping to head out in the coming weeks to the beach, just gotta find the time!

does this just have a 2 inch lift with 27 inch muddies?
2" lift, technically only 26" muddies
@@deadpenitence would you recommend 27x8.5r14 on a 2 inch lift?
(I currently run 185r14)
@@ethan928 that seems to be the common choice. I run wide offsets so I had to "massage" mine quite a bit to even make the 26s fit.
What exhaust do you have installed on this l-series, and are you going to do a video in the sand comparing a stock l-series?

did you to change the rear diff to install the Torq Locker ?
