I totally see the point of having one with a bigger rig. But after all the times I've been out with Soobs in the offroad we've only had reason to use one once. . . .We used part of the handle to sleeve a broken front strut on Lumpy Cam's Unhatched while we were at the Rubicon. The rest of the time it was me ribbing fellow Hatch Patrollers about lugging that extra 60 lbs while they were smoking their clutches trying to get over some obstacle. A small peice of plywood for footing, small floor jack and 3 2X6s nailed together for reach is all I ever needed. A come-along rocks to have period. I've used one of those many many many times. My advice being to bring some kind of block of wood that you can use under your rocker panels to distribute the load. The bumpers on the Soob aren't gonna take too many lifts with a high lift. They strap down to the roof rack pretty nicely.

Lots of each. Do a few searches and you'll find plenty of posts about both kits. In the end, they both make lift kits for soobs. I'm closing this to keep any kind of arguement from happening. Like I said, do some searches, visit their wesites.

So what about smart rump roast Californians who used to be dumb rump roast Alaskans? lol j/k Had to say it. I think you're better off as far away from Salem as possible.

There's a cool article about one in AU in the December Subiesport mag.

Does now. You'll notice I brought it back up for additions and update stuff.

I wanna add a post onto the FAQ that shows the different bumpers that have been put on a Soob, from factory, to aftermarket, to home fabbed. Just post pics please, no conversation. Any posts without pics, will be deleted.... Here's a page that Mick has put together. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/80s/pushbar/pushbar.html Thanks all.

Once my gets the next phase of his FJ finished, I'm sure I could talk him into folowing me up in my Toy. I'd love to have a guide thru, a place to fix broken stuff afterwards would kick rump roast. (I saw your Meet&Greet post) Who knows? Maybe Qman's Brat will be back on the (off)road again. That was about 5? years ago. We later did the Rubicon in some more heavy duty Soobs. Afterwards we wondered why the Hell we drove 12-1400 miles to 4X when that at Walker trail matched pretty much everything we came across at the Rubicon. Plus there was a lot of mud too, which makes it 10 times as fun. Slippery rocks are funner than grippy rocks in my book.

It's been a long time, don't remember what the trail was called, but we did a pretty friggin' rocky trail the first time I ever went thru. This rock slab? The locals called it the "Shark Fin". It put a dent int he gas tank so big that it took a gallon less at the pump. lol Really. No leak though. . .

PM sent John.

Get a hold of Jaws Dawg. He fabbed up a really cool mount for shocks in the rear of his ea81 wagon.

Just went and visited Donny and his lil/big bro. His spirits are good. Pain is there, but they are keeping him drugged, so it's not too bad. Says his boys are with their Mom.

I got a call from his bro last night. Donny's out of his first surgery. I'm gonna go and visit him today, anybody wanna go a long?

Thanks for the hijack. Wanna start you own thread?

If you can get the swampers in a 14 and can get 14 inch pugs, do so. More tire between the rim and ground. You can deflate them more offroad. The pug rims have a decent offset. The Toy rims tend to give too much offset, meaning you have to cut more to make them fit without rubbing on turns.

I think I can get a way to go to EC next weekend. I'm dying to take the Toy there.

The second time Ken got stuck trying a "Rockford"

Qman the first time he got stuck trying a "Rockford". doh! Some scenery. Note the little tires for more speed. Ryan going for it up the hill. No easy chore for the N/A imps to keep up with the STI Forester.

Didn't get a group photo. Hopefully one of you other guys with cameras did. 12? Soobs in all and a Saturn. Mostly new gen, pretty cool to see the diversity finally and not just old school. Here's one of Rob mounting one of the mounds in the staging area. Me giving it a try and getting high centered. Fun just the same though.

I dont' need a tree. Just wanna play in the snow. Finally decided what to drive.

Never mind, I just read your sig. Now I connect the two, ie: pic and thread.

What's up with the camber. . . ? Looks hard to steer, looks really rough on the ouside of the tires. What happens when it flexes? What kind of lift is that?

Shelton fairgrounds is out. Period. The lady in charge jacked us. The only reason we signed the dotted line was cuz she promsed us the mud pit area. There's no way it will be there again. I would be all over getting us the Thurston C. ORV Park.

You can adjust the camber to make up for pushing everything down 3 inches or so. The fronts have adjustments for camber too.

Correct, allows taller tires. Yeah, they are about an inch and a half longer. They also have about an inch and a half more travel. The angle of the cvs isn't affected very much at all. Feel free to shoot me a call.

They all love it. Especially after a day in the passenger seat. or. Most of my friends drive or have owned Soobs.
