  1. Well I got my 00 OB on the road again, new reverse gears, new clutch, and a new set of Assurance TripleTred by GoodYear it only set me back $2500! OUCH!!!!! Well there goes my vacation this year, but at least I will get another 80,000 out of her. The clutch was original and it was in good shape but I figured 85K I should just spend the money and get a new one.

     

    The tires were a Killer deal, I got them mounted balanced warrenty and sipped for under $$500, they retail just the tires for over $600 from GoodYear.

     

    anyways now that I have her back and she is running like a champ I need her lifted a bit, does anyone have any ideas? I was thinking maybe a supension lift?

  2. Out here in Olympia, WA all the country girls who drive trucks have a sticker on the back window saying "back off city boy" well once I get my lift I was going to to put on my back window "Back off country girl"

     

    Now that I see it in writing its not as funny as I thought it would be:confused:

  3. Ok so I was hoping that some of you guys would like to come over to my place for some BBQ, BEER, and WRENCHING. There will be hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken breasts, and I dont care if you are into the 420 all I ask is that you are not seen by the nosey neighbors

  4. I'm wheeling on a set of wal-terrains on morgan's old wagon. they've got lots of miles, and still do pretty well on dry stuff. I air them down to 15-20psi and wheel 'em on the rocks for hours. mud.......not so much, they cake up and turn into slicks real fast.

     

     

    well as wet as Washington is I think I will go with the Kumho's.:burnout:

  5. I have been looking at several different tires from My Kumho Venture M/T's (27x8.5R14's) these are $87 a tire. I have found that these are really a great tire. How ever alot of people like the Walmart Liberators, they no longer make them in 14s but they do make the Uniroyal Liberator A/T size: P225/70R14's. These are only $52. So what do you all think?

  6. My car has always be serviced my the dealer untill I bought it. I pulled a plug 1st to see if I could find them else where, dont want to pay the darn dealer price. The brand name of the plugs are "ngk". They are $2 each at Shucks. The wires I got from Subaru. I replace my plugs in my cars every year. Its cheep insurance, just like on my boat. :grin:

     

    I am running OEM tires and wheels, and maintain 40PSI seems to be working for me?

  7. I have a 2000 OB Legecy, it is a 5speed with 78K miles on it. I was only getting 20MPG when I bought the car. The CarFax Report says I am the 3rd owner of the car, and that it has been to the dealership every 5K miles for check ups.

     

    With gas prices hitting 3.17/gal in Olympia, I am tired of 20MPG. Well I have replaced the airfilter with a K&N, the car seem to run better but MPG were same. Then I replace the spark plugs and the wires, got up to 23MPG. The last thing I have done was replaced the fuel filter. I am up to 25-27MPG.

     

    Not saying this is the only answer its just what has worked for me. Hope this is useful to some others.
