  1. man the suby fantasies i can see with the new maroon unit!!! the front quarter skins are gone but like ive said it doent matter the info from this site about lift kits and the re-assurance and advice that the gears(with proper driving skillz) can handle the tourque lead me to.. in vision a bussy,,,half van half dune buggy something like an elongated vw bus morph but with suby ... Dirt kicken -cng snortin-rock climbing Hell wagon living entity transport unit we might as well make it anti roadside bomb proof while im trippin hard too many balloonz at the show for jk man am i trippin? guess i dont get out much sure is good to find some info somewhere now where did i put it?
  2. man could just ramble on forever,,,,,,, first a few tearz the engine i took out of brownie was a strong 165k er and fell victim to a badly torqued crank pulley i didnt do it myself but the shop that did wouldnt take care of it ans it chewed the crank up beyond repair by the time i woke up and checked out the noise it was too late good news is I got another 40 some thousand out of it by JB welding the pully back onto the crank on a night not unlike this one with a good moon shining. mayby a buzz on too it lasted over 4 years was parked for over year while i blew some carbon out of my old 72 ford 3/4 ton when it finally came loose i tried with no luck to repeat the same jb weld job lasted 3 or 4 days wasnt the origional jb weld brand all i could find on my way home was some crap called devcon the con should have tipped me off where is the JB when you need it?? ok guess I should stop rambling... waiting on a call for this new 90 something legacy wagon shes a rust bucket but i dont care cause dents aint gunna show where shes gunna go!!!!
  3. still not certain how this fancy message board works for sure.... ive never seen a suby with stock air shocks didnt even check to see what this new rig is but im following instinct and a possible killer buy. my past experience with air shocks (old ford) wasnt worth it and caused more damage than good just curious more than anything to know if anyone has ever seen a stock rig with them in tact.. It looks like there is enough clearance to run a stock outback or toyota rim and some beafy snow tires but that probably wouldnt give me the clearance im looking 4. And cause some turning clearance problems.. I think the lift kit option sounds promising and if I win the lottery tommorw night I think that will be my first purchace. man thanks for the patience with this heionous newby have no clue what im doing with the message board its the fanciest one ive ever posted on thanks gnu mayby it would make more sence one of the linux boxes...
  4. Im new here too but thanks for your service just the same hope your back heals up Hey I went to high school in benson! small world It is good to see so many people in a site like this with such a welcoming spirit.
  5. Stumbled here from the subaru.sonik site and have been reading posts every chance I get for the last few days. Thanks for all the great stuff. Have gotten more answers to some age old questions than ive been able to find anywhere else. Ive Got so many questions and comments that ill have to narrow it down a little or my post will be too big to fit on 10 pages. Ive been told that changing the tire size on a 90 thru 94 legacy wagon will tear things up and I have noticed not any pictures of legacys with lift kits and larger wheels. It never fails that when I get a little carried away out in the dirt that I end up tearing a CV boot or scraping somewhere that I dont want too. Has anyone had any luck with bigger tires on these models? This is the second wagon ive had first was a 91 legacy and they both had mystery button spaces in the dash. The other day I was actually reading the worthless chilton manual I have and noticed that that missing button was for air shocks. Has anyone seen a factory model with air shocks? Sounds like an interesting idea not that it would help my aim at those sharp rocks much but may keep me from high centering. My first suby was a 1975 which I finally rolled back in 82 after a three or four years of non stop fun. If I lived in texas it would have been the perfect car. Ran great on the flats but going up hill was a slow process. Down hill and snow was white knuckles all the way. Im in the process of picking up another 90's legacy wagon that I would like to turn into the rock beater just to keep old brownie off the rocks and on the road. Just dropped a newer engine in after a major timing belt fiasco at 160k. Thats another story, lesson learned. Thanks for all the good info jk
