I think I remember you spilling a couple beans about the next rig when you took the lug nuts to use on your RX.... either way....I AM tearing up

OK man....that's just creepy!!! mine's the 25th!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAN!!!! too bad I won't be in town much in the next few weeks...

I have a 2" receiver in my AA rear bumper (had to get a HUGE drop hitch to compensate for the lift...) and you could totally tow stuff with it! It's kinda pricey, but it's beefy too, and bolt-on.

uh...I most of us don't drink...and my dad is pretty much the unofficial driver. But we'd love to hang out if we have time... thanks for the great help, looks like alot of that is already on the list, and what wasn't, is now! we're not going to be doing any fishing...not really our gig. and as much as I'd like to raft/kayak a river, it's just too pricey, so that [probably] won't happen. We were planning on driving the Denali highway while we're there, but I guess most of the rental car companies won't allow it, and the people we've talked to don't recommend it. Yes it could be fun in a 4WD rig...but we're driving a FWD rented Sedan, so from a strictly sightseeing standpoint, is it worth it? Thanks again! and I'll consult with my parents as to when we'll have time, and see if a meet can be set up, that would be quite fun!

I *want* to come...and I certainly have a rig that could make the drive there, wheel, and then make it home....I guess we shall see what I'm doing that weekend as the time draws nearer...

yes, in the olden days people used their imagination, but once people realized how much more effective the eye is than the mind/spoken word, they scrapped that method like an '80s domestic. That said, yes, your car sounds SCHWEET! but we've all seen a lifted EA82 wagon, but in the subaru world, they're all different, so we want to see it! THAT said...it's all in good fun, relax, we're still cheering you on

well, we get in at about 10 am on the 8th...through sometime on the 14th...leaves us 6-7 days. we're renting a car for the whole trip, first 2 nights in denali, last one in anchorage, beyond that, we're not sure. already plan to do alyeska, and turnagain arm (did that on the tour bus after our cruise last year), seward, and some time in anchorage what museum in anchorage are you referring to?

really? that's the size I have on my wagon....and with a tapemeasure, they measure up to almost exactly 27...cool!

I can/will personally support this! it's certainly what burned up tranny #1 on our '92 3AT loyale...

agreed! very nice is that the same one that got, uh, 'bent' earlier this year? lookin hot now!

AAAAMen!!

yes, Mudrat makes a front LSD, and subaru makes a rear LSD, we know about this, but, as said in the name, LSD's still Slip. noone makes a true locker, and most likely...never will. IMHO, a front LSD is a waste of money, just rig up the parking brake cables to independant handles, and when it get's hairly, lock the spinning wheel. it's not as clean as posi-trac, but it's hella-cheap, and almost as effective!

exhaust pipe that goes to the turbo

just messing around with some basic filters on photoshop, came out with a few cool pics of my wagon. neon edges: graphic pen: Dust and scratches: This ones got a few things, lens flare, spotlight, some dust and scratches...

I'm definately not bringing my wagon, that's a long @$$ drive!!! nope, we're flying, but would still like to meet up, maybe my parents could go do their sightseeing, and the three of us (you, my gf, and I) could go explore the scenic routes... but we're probably not going to leave time for a meet, or mudding or anything like that (not one of any length anyway), just looking for some recomendations from the locals as to what we should see.

anyone??

Here! 1988 Subaru GL Wagon, 5-speed, D/R 4WD, 4" AA lift, AA rear bumper, dual gutter mount CB antennae, Realistic CB radio, roof-mount yakima bike rack with fairing and custom light tabs, generic lights taken off my dad's old plow truck with Eagle Eye II covers, GL-10 rear wagon wing, pioneer head unit, removed mechanical fan, manually switched electric fan, Garmin GPS 45 (my automatically recalibrating speedo...), 15" pug alloys painted flat black, 27" GoodYear UltraGrip tires, XT6 seats, Thrush glasspack, rear disc brakes, braided SS front brake lines...and I think that's about it, for now. Chux and the Chuxwagon: the first pic of my AA rear bumper: next up is an AA bullbar with tabs for my fog/driving lights, and spare tire mount for the back (and a better spare tire to put on it), along with dual e-brake (got the handles, just have to connect the cables), and rear LSD

so my parents and girlfriend and I are taking a little vacation to AK next month. We leave right after the midwest meet on August 8th, and get back the 14th. It's going to be super expensive, so we're kind of treating it like a once in a lifetime (or longtime anyway) thing. So what would you people who live up there recomend seeing. We're flying into and out of anchorage. and the first 2 nights staying up in denali http://www.hostelalaska.com/ (we have the family bunk cabin!). Anyway, looks like it will be super fun, just looking for more input, we have other ideas, but that's the only thing that's concrete so far. a mini-meet would be cool, if you SKA guys are around.

looks good, just thought I'd bump this up to the top. looks like we'll be coming in either super late Friday night, or saturday morning sometime. I hope that isn't a problem with the 2 night minimum thing, since there's a bunch of us splitting a few sites. looks like there's ~20 people, in 13-14 cars, in 6 sites...not bad (just counting from the list on post 1)

hello new-schoolers! haven't been over here much... anyway, a buddy of mine has a '95-6 (I don't remember) impreza L AT coupe, and he's putting on a turbo (stock wrx...td04 right?). He's looking for an up-pipe, something about stock wrx ones won't clear the xmember...I'm not sure. He says there are companies that make these, but only sell them as part of a kit, but he's got the turbo, DP, etc. off a part-out, so only needs the UP anyone know of a source?

I'd say go to the hatch, the poopenvagen is tired and old. I parted out my '85 for less...but then again I have a loyale in need of D/R 4WD. we have austin here in town for help in putting an EJ22 in an EA81 hole. I'd love to help, if I'm in town (xmas break maybe), there's still some value in the parts on the wagon, take advantage of that and upgrade.

nope, it just makes it so you only have to have one person. it does the opening and closing of the valve for you, while you pump the pedal. You should still use a little hose from there to watch for bubbles. click the link on Morgan's first post for pics and diagrams too.

go climb under the back of the car, you'll see, there's a springpin on both ends at the joint. jack up the car to allow for enough play to pull out the axle, pound out the springpins and pull the axle off the stubs. you don't even need to take the wheel off.

looks like I probably won't be able to come, not on this short of notice...maybe next year!

I didn't air down at the last event we were at, the car's so light, and it just makes your sidewall's more vulnerable. if you've got good strong sidewalls (MT...probably, mine are just all seasons) then it might help. btw, the jeep guys said to run about 15psi, and that's even on a wrangler, which is pretty light (probably not as light as a wagon, but close, with no top/doors).
