Glad to hear you got the help, glad to hear you helped him! Plenty of us have the same story, or one really similar. Comes around and goes around. This is a good place to meet good people.

Doh! Guess the chances were better than good.

On a side note. Chances are that that wagon has a LSD in the rear. I'd check if I were you. You can identify it a couple ways. Either wipe off the sticker on the back, it will say "3.7 LSD", or spin one of the rear tires. If the other spins the same way, you're good to go. If it spins the oposite way, forget it.

I'm telling you. . . Too many photos for me to choose from. . . Here's a couple good ones.

How does leave my house at 7 sound? Todd knows where I live, if he can't make it, I can send you directions. Then again, you MV guys might wanna camp there Satruday night. Could you do me a favor and get Todd's # for me? I'd appreciate it.

My 80 DL 4X hatch had an 1800 in it with a single range. I'd almost say hold out for a 4X hatch with the 1800 and a dual range in it, 1982-89. The 16 is getting hard to find parts for. And if hatches are plentyful enough in your area that you can aquire all the parts needed for a 2 to 4X swap, you should be able to find a 4X. Keep the 2X for a daily while you get your 4X up to par. ie: lift, tires, weber. . . Then use it for parts for your 4X. (see attached)

My plates are customized, I'm proud to sport what they say. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=1491Call me a yuppie to my face, and we're gonna be fighting.

If it's Evans, count me in. I'll get my buddy Brian to bring his FJ. Leaving bright and early?

My lifted hatch is my daily driver. The lifted hatch I had before it was my daily driver. Bob the lifted Brat was my daily driver before that. . . .and the brat before that and the brat before that and the hatch before that and the hatch before that. . . Why would making your Soob an offroader make it unreliable? Who thinks so and why?

These guys invented putting 2.2s into them, they have $, just not Swampers. The rims are made for Soobs with the 4X140 pattern. Like mine. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showphoto.php?photo=2182

The wagon looks great. I'm bigtime envious of the front bumper. You guys gotta get Super Swampers down there. I see all these photos of lifted Soobs, but the tires I see on them are pretty tame.

It doesn't work like that. It's an area 51 thing, you mysteriously lose your memory and can't remember any of his cars. Styles. You'll be close to Rallitek too. Look 'em up.

You could just change the timing belt ahead of time. . . That's my approach.

I'm with the idea of a small lift on a legacy wagon. Reliable as Soobs get. Comfortable and powerful for a long ride to work. With the lift comes a little bigger tires and a formidable rig for the snow. Should do fine for lite off roading. Wagons make great camp rigs, legacys are no exception. As for the more you build the less reliable. . . I don't agree. I haven't done the ej22 swap yet, but all of my lifted, weber'd ea81s are pretty friggin reliable. The last one (86 hatch) made a 500 mile round trip to the WCSS6, then a week later drove 1200 miles to Colorado from Seattle. All said and done, David had to change the wheel bearings on one corner when he got there. Shoot, we drove Ken's Brat 900 miles+ home from the Rubicon after he did several miles of it. Depends on how well you set it up. i'd trust my current hatch to go anywhere in the USA I point it. But I do indeed like your idea. If you have the know how to hook up a 2.2, I say go!! As for pre 97, how come? I have a 2.2 in my 97 impreza, it kicks rump roast!

I have a wedding to go to. Have fun you guys. Matt. Do you have snow tires for the pickle? If not, gimme a call.

That's a dangerous area to take ea82s thru. Caleb Svengouli lost a head gasket there, had to leave it. Beware taking ea82s thru South Dakota.

Looks like the body damage was minimal. Good to see the Griz out gettin some dirt on it. How many rigs went? Did you catch any video? So is the locker all I made it out to be?

I've got that first photo in one of my brag books! Can't remember if I took it or not. . . lol Good to see you back Ross. Been wondering about you. I think you scared them all into keeping their photos to themselves. :b

Get back over here, we'll find the time bro. You got shotgun with me if you want, we'll go find soem muddy snow somewhere. Greenwater's always fun about that time!

I used to say that too. Most places we go as the Hatch Patrol, we don't let anybody without lifts come with us.

Those are some good ones. I went thru some of the hundreds of Soob photos I have, and had a real hard time picking one. I have MANY most of you have never seen before, but here's the one I came up with. Crappy quality, but gets the point accross just the same. (have it on video!) http://usmb.net/gallery/Zaps-Stuff/XT62 (Sorry, turbone's easy to read and follow instructions don't seem to be worth squat. . .)

Bought 7 (this one used from Qman) and installed 12. This one's pretty enough to wear it, even if dent it. I've wheeled it a little, (you thought I really wouldn't?) I just have to be more careful than usual. "second neatest"

They do indeed have the offset needed on the strut blocks. Enough that you have to beat the firewall in to get them to clear.

Get a load!

Sooooo. . . How long till it's lifted?
