Yes!!! Now I Can Offroad!!!
Brats were meant for offroad. period. To street one is the same as keeping a jeep for the street. . . People who won't offroad their brats bug me.

History of the "Modified Subaru"
It's lifted now. I still can't get him to offroad with us ever. I've given up asking. . . He is who inspired me to get a hatch and modify it. Now he's way behind me. He started in the mid 90's I think. I went thru Evans Creek for my first time with him and his family in '98. Way before I'd ever heard of the BYB's or the USMB or the internet period.

Good for you guys. I can't wait to 4X with you at Evans Creek. Did you know that the swampers on Death Hatch used to be mine? Indeed.

Who owned the powder blue '78 Brat?
Jason designed, built, and installed the 4-5 inch lift in one weekend. Including a d/r tranny swap. That thing did well, but he really has a heavy foot and upper 311 is about as gnarly as trails get at EC. He did break a lot of axles, but the lift held together, but I think the rear suspension punched thru wheel wells. He drove it 75 miles+ home from there with straps holding it all in place. Jason was the original Miles Fox. He lost interest and began to build his 99 forerunner. It's something else these days, pretty huge. He lives in Forks, WA now.

n00b rear diff question
Your D/R will be a 3.9. (Unless it came from an RX) You will have to match the ratio in it with a 3.9 rear end.

Hub Caps and Wheeling
If you don't lose them, they can get all full of mud and rocks. Makes 'em pretty hard to get off the car. Here's one with pugs and 14 inch hubcaps that I had. http://community.webshots.com/photo/37919799/60788563yXAxQr

I possess the WCSS6 beer mugs.
Yours is already paid for.As for the blanks, they'll be first come first serve at the show. I'm not gonna be here to collect money for the next month or so. I fly out on Monday. It's gonna be worth it at the show as we're all together.

I possess the WCSS6 beer mugs.
Finally!! The lady is done with them. It took way more money and hassle than I ever figured, but they're done. I picked them up just now. 55 of you will be holding personalized ones for the "Cheers"!! We also made ones with just the logo but no personal name. 20 or so I think. They'll be available for sale at the show.

Would love a few of the white ones, usmb.net. . . I'll drop some cash in an envelope as soon as I remember.

Gone camping,see you next week.
Well, then I guess it's not so bad that the new car has a gas leak preventing me from trusting it to make a long trip. I was gonna invade you for the 4th, hoped to leave tonight. Have a good time Paul.

Welp, I bought a Subaru (the trouble with licensing it)
In New York, before you can have plates and registration, you need to have insurance. No problem. I called my agent, she gladly added the new car to my policy, gonna cost me 138 bucks for 6 months. And, if I cancel it with in 6 months, which I will whe I give it to my daughter, she'll pro-rate teh policy and give me money back. Whoohoo, gonna cost me about 40 bucks to insure it for 6 weeks or so. So I take my proof of insurance to the DMV. They tell me that insurance isn't good enough, I need to have New York State insurance. OK fine. I call around for insurance. Gonna cost me 286 bucks for 6 months to start a new policy, and they'll charge me 50 bucks if I cancel it within 6 months. . . Whooboy! Gonna cost me 350 instead of 40 bucks. I also had to get my hotel manager to write a letter saying I live there and that my utilities are included so I can prove "garaging" (as in the car is really in New York) Dip*****s! Another 60 bucks, (not 40 like the dealer told me) and I now have license plates and a sticker good till 2006. Only need it till 8/04. . . Criminey. To top it all off, I put gas in it to find it has a leak in one of the gas lines out of the tank. . . Got it to slow a little, looks like I'll have to mess with it tomorrow, meaning more gas and crap all over me. I had meant to jump in and head for Moosey and Connecticut to invade for the weekend, we're off till Tuesday, but don't wanna drive it that far with a gas leak. I'll try again when I get back from my Seattle trip in a week. Or, maybe I'll just plan on heading that way on my way to Nebraska in a month or so. I can take longer that way. . .

Indee, I did buy it to take it to Nebraska to give to my daughter. I also bought it to give myself some freedom from having to share the company truck with 3 other co-workers. s for a road trip, I did that on the way here. Now that I've seen what's on the other side of the mountains from Seattle, I never wanna see it all again. How many corn fields can one person take? As for a legacy over a loyale. I'v had 5 ea82's, I never plan to own one again, they've left a pretty bad taste in my mouth. ej22's kick rump roast.

I'll check it all out when I pick it up tomorrow. We're working 10 hour days now, Saturdays too. . . Not too much time to go thru it. Scott, you can call between 6 and 10 or so. Talk to you then.

Pics of my gen1 brats(more pics & tech )
You guys gotta remember when I said I saw a secret mobile photo of the baddassest brat I'd ever seen? This would be the one. Hard to keep quiet eh Rob? Can't wait to see it and you at teh show.

Welp, I bought a Subaru (the trouble with licensing it)
I'll possess it on Friday. . . 94 legacy, AT AWD, 157k. Runs like a champ, somewhat clean body, good and straight, perfect interior. The underside is pretty ugly though, lots of rust. You'd think the tax payers would come up with a better way to get snow off the road than friggin salt. Car dealers must love it. Only cost a 1000 bucks, the dealer said so cuz it has "high miles". lol Freedom indeed. I'll be calling you soon Moosey.

wish me luck!
A Sooby repair shop is an Honorable Business to get into. Good for you Andy.I went thru Spokane on my way out here, (NY) we encountered the second worst traffic jam of the trip. 3 cars wrecked caused us to take an hour and a half to get about 2 miles. . . Never again gonna go that way.

4X4 Obstacle Course ,WA 26 JUN
Hey Qman, you wanna borrow my hatch to go show those guys what's up? Juat needs axles. . . It's all yours if you say the word. . . I'd do it in a minute, just to quiet disbelievers.

So far, the stories are false
Finally saw a loyale today. It was goood and rusty too. LOL I've seen one (1) RS impreza and a few Ls. PK, disreguard. I thought I'd be grabbing a hatch, but it got sold before I could get to it. You know me, I can't stand those ea81s unless they're lifted. Except Ken's black brat and the lowered hatch that keeps showing up at the wscc's. (it's just too pretty to dislike) Still no Soobs for sale. I think I'm gonna settle on a Nissan sentra. 94 with 65k in beauty shape for 25 hun. . .

So far, the stories are false
I've been ready for the city since about Snoqualmie pass. . . I'll be in Seattle that weekend, 9th thru the 12th. Moosey, (or anybody else)maybe you could keep your eyes open for a 92ish legacy for under 2gs. 5 speed or AT doesn't matter. I was >< that close to bringing my hatch with me, but didn't wanna drop 8 bills to rent the trailer. I went to Uhaul and everything. I woulda had to leave it here, we have to drag a trailer full of tools and stuff on the way back. We shipped it here in a container. My plan was to unload it cheap on someone out here before I left. Boy,wouldn't the East coast love a 99.5% rust free lifted 86 hatch with only minor character? (dents)
