That does it, my bumper is definitely getting chopped off.
Looks sweet! I think the black rims really dress it up. How big do those measure out to? They look like a 28-29, judging by how hard it was to cram 27s under my imp. I'm really fearing for my clutch. A D/R is gonna be necessary if I'm gonna try to offroad it.

Bring your pics over to SubaruOutback.org
They have a forum for the OBS. I bet they'd love to see a fresh face.

I have a tranny cooler ready to install (oe Subaru for a Tribeca)
It is getting mounted under the hood scoop (gotta make it functional)
This was supposed to be a DD so my Forester does not get thrashed on and I'm already buidling a new higher power engine (shooting for 190hp NA from a 2.5)

NICE! I wish I could fit tires that big on my Forester!

Yep, the SG rear struts have more tire clearance, but they have less travel than the SF struts. Without a locker or even a decent LSD, articulation (or lack thereof) is what limits my Forester's trail-ability. So I opted for more articulation!Get more lift or get creative with a sawzall
(a set of SG struts would help too
)

Well, I done killed it good.
298k on it.
I had recently installed my big engine (EJ25, ported heads, delta cams, polished and ported everything) and was driving up to the Lake Superior Pro rally in Houghton Michigan. The car was running great until about 11 hrs into the trip. On a steeper uphill between Negaunee and Ishpeming (can ya tell I was in da UP?) the front differential locked up and came apart (put a piece through the case :-\ )
Fortunately my boss was coming up and only a few hours behind me. We pulled as much as we could with hand tools and had a spare set of junks wheels / tires sent from home.
I salvaged the wheels and tires, cams, radiator and hoses, radio, roof basket, spare, and all my various goodies that could be removed. Sold her to the scrap yard for $100 :-\
Fortunately the wife and I were able to still enjoy our weekend (got a courtesy car from a local body shop, I could not thank them enough) and rode home with the boss.
Picked up a 1996 Legacy Outback from our used lot. Total for the car $351.90 with tax and plate transfer feeand this one is a manual trans (albeit with a binding centre diff)
In a decade of owning Subaru this is the first one to leave me stranded, just goes to show how tough these cars are![]()
Time to embark on a new project, certainly liking the Legacy Outback so far![]()
