The Bulli and the Broncos! T3 Syncro 4 wheeling at Hollister

[jgizzy]

Do you have some sort of lockers or LSD? The wheels that were in the air didn't even spin! What's going on? :D awesome video, bud!

[syncrostore]

@jgizzy This one had front and rear vacuum actuated locking diffs, they were an option on all Syncros, front locker wasn't available to the US though.

[wysoft]

Is there a low-range gearset available for these? Do they use a transfer case? Having a hard time finding meaty morsels of information on the Synchro system.

[syncrostore]

@wysoft It has a granny gear, no transfer case. The were factory all wheel drive with a Viscous coupling to transfer the power from rear to front and allow give in tight corners. Lockers were and option but only the rear locker in North America

[RingMasterPB]

@colorado1516 Wait, you're telling somebody else to get their shyte together? Really? There have been many many FWD Subarus, also THIS IS NOT A SUBARU., it just has a Subaru engine. Is yer shit together yet?

[JesusJack4x4]

[syncrostore]

@JesusJack4x4 I think I sold it that day for $25.5k

[2bornottoby]

wow, those things just have no wheel travel whatsoever, seem very capable though.

[nolan83]

I can smell the clutch burning from here lol.

[FullMetalBuddha2]

sick

[singaporesling1017]

I want a syncro westy so bad I can hardly stand it! I think I'll have to settle for a 2wd, though. Syncro's are way too expensive. I'll be buying one next fall, and I've already got a 2.5 subie and a gowesty 5-speed to swap in. Awesome van, and good vid. Thanks!

[syncrostore]

Thanks! I sure miss this one, some people in Seattle have it now and love it! I recently saw it parked on Stevens Pass and took a few pictures of it and my Syncro 16 together. The Subaru engines really make these a pleasure to drive. My 16 has the new variable valve lift & timing Subaru engine from a 07' and I'm getting 22 mpg, not to bad for a 5200 lb box!!!! Are you in the PNW?

[singaporesling1017]

No, I'm nestled into the mountains of beautiful Morgantown, WV. You should experience our natural beauty if you haven't already. What was the '07 subie swap like? Are they as similar to the wasserboxer as the older 2.2/2.5's are? Also, do you know of a way to get enough clearance for 215/75-15 tires on a 2wd westy? I think with some slightly aggressive tires and a locker or posi unit, a 2wd would get me wherever I need to go. If I want to go wheeling, I'll take my Jeep!

[yamahonkawazuki]

@syncrostore Power wise vs stock, may i ask what the difference is driving?

[syncrostore]

@yamahonkawazuki the subaru 2.5 that was in there was ~ 165hp, stock was 95hp, big difference and much better!

[soulreaper979]

[chadrory]

[realcanadian69]

really cool 4 wheeling

[rockmanorwell]

what's the story behind these busses? .

[madjimms]

too much extra weight in the back :(

[syncrostore]

if there were any less weight it wouldn't be perfectly balanced 50/50!!! ~2500lbs per alxe, it'll float on two wheels
