Andyjo Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 yeah yeah, i don't have much to brag about, but what do you all have? i've got roughly 31 deg on the bumper, and 28 deg on the radiator support, and 38 deg where the wheel would hit... (if i were to go for a rock w/ one wheel) The dimensions look like they're in the wrong place... but they just go in order..... So let's have it! i know some of you guys w/ lifted hatches & bumpers have some sweet angles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Did you use a program to figure that out? Thats pretty sweet, lemme know how you did it and i can go do a measurement on the hatch. -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyjo Posted May 26, 2006 Author Share Posted May 26, 2006 imported an image into autocad i also measured it to double check, it's pretty close. the tricky part was getting the camera at the right level.... tripods are cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heep70 Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 You should get a steeper angle on the one from the corner of the bumper. If you look at the line it is cutting through the tire to hit the part of the tire on the ground. It should be the angle from were the line first touches the tire from the bumper.

ezapar Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Your approach angle looks pretty friggin sweet for an imp andyjo. If you raise the bumper, you expose the radiator support. Bumper's fine where it is. Ad a couple of beams from the bumper to the crossmember to skid along, or at least use as feelers rather than the header. You can use it to mount your skid plate later on down the line. The arrow is pointing to your actual approach angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MountainBiker Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Looks pretty good! Tip: to get a more accurate representation, you need to get the camera really far away, and then use a telephoto lense. This will make the viewing angles more accurate to reduce error. A shot from infinity (kinda hard to do!) will make the tires on each side line up perfectly, and the ground appear as a plane parallel to your camera sight.

LosDiosDeVerde86 Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 yeah...parking blocks don't scare me anymore. actually, that's a good view. i used to hit those towhooks on the parking blocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezapar Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 With an almost empty tank of gas: about 27. Probably closer to 30 when I load up with gas and a weekend's worth of stuff. I can roll over a basket ball and not touch it end to end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosDiosDeVerde86 Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Yep LosDios, that's just about what we got when we 'Outbacked' our '00 Leg ... Legaback? Outacy. definately Outacy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtsmiths Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Outacy. definately Outacy. "Outacy" I thought that was the crime of telling everybody that someone is gay without their permission? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosDiosDeVerde86 Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 "Outacy" I thought that was the crime of telling everybody that someone is gay without their permission? no, that would be 3rd Degree Outery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtsmiths Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 no, that would be 3rd Degree Outery Well, if what I said is '3rd Deg Outery', then fershure 'Outacy' is the compulsive mental disorder wherin one is driven by an uncontrollable need for telling everyone that sombody is gay without their permission. The patiant is known as an 'Outiac'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet82 Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 If I remember right, I'm 52 up front and about 75 in the back. It would have to be a real short 52 degree climb to not power out. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showphoto.php?photo=8813&cat=500&ppuser=584 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceyWV Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 These are amazing figures, I've never figured mine up but I know my buds Rubi is like 45 degrees exactly. I'm running an (almost scraped completely off) stock front end though. t33h33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superu Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Sorry I don't have autocad, nor better asphault pix, but here's what I've got... (1st) Stock '95 Legacy L, (2nd) on outback stuts, 205x75 14s and Mudrat bunmper after the wreck(sorry i don't have a better profile shot) http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=2467&d=1114457179 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uberoo Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 what about actual measurement,ie hold a metal plate,or piece plywood to tires and measue angle with protractor.I would do mine but a stock brat can't be anywhere near impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
