We'll try to plan on going next year, it'll be easier to make the long road trip with an EJ motor. We're still not out for this year, but probably....mostly because of $$$, and as a result, no front tow points....

I, too, am home safe, that bolt never gave me any more issues.. anyway, had an awesome time, plan on me coming next year! pics:

well, I don't know about the blind part, but it's in the latest issue of Road & Track, and I thought the same thing, but it just said "photo by..." not "photo illustration by..." and there's another picture of that same car in the article, just not next to the truck.

yea...what are they called Mattraxx or something? I see 'em at the State Fair every year and think "I wonder if that would fit on my sub", than see the price (5 digits, easy) and it never becomes of anything.

We'll probably sleep in the wagon...in owatonna friday, then at the campground saturday, if that works out...but I threw in a tent in case we just don't really want to try to set it up for one night...

well, maybe 'floating' isn't the right term, but it won't sink as far as without them. I know it would've gotten my buddies ATV much farther a few times out in the swamp yep, this would be horrible for the car, the leverage would be very hard on wheel bearings, and probably tie rod ends, and ball joints too.

on full-size trucks...yes, more weight...on an ORV...more surface area...idea being, floating over the mud, instead of sinking into it. Skinny tires are great for getting through the crap down to the solid base, but if the whole is deep enough, you'll get high-centered before you reach bottom.

agreed, now we're up to 5! and how else can you get thumbs up from almost anything on the road, for this cheap!?

or just going through deep enough stuff to send it up over the hood....though I doubt an STi would do a very good job in stuff that deep...

My GF and I will be there on Saturday sometime, and planning on staying that night.

I broke my rears offroad, no doubt it was because I was on the go pedal at full extension, but the fronts always fail onroad. on the freeway, in the middle of nowhere.

with 2 lifted wagons!!! both me and morgan showed up, I stayed all night, more people showed after you left, and fuji dropped his welded diff into his impreza and whipped a few donuts in the parking lot!!

I just blew up ANOTHER front CV...and NOBODY can blame that on AA!!! the front is the same as BYB. I've broken one rear axle beyond repair, and 5 fronts...reman'd = crap! btw, napa's reman'd axles have a barcode sticker on 'em.

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!
