Sounds good...then I won't have to wheel with Heeps all the time! I can provide a pass report on Lolo at anytime after Oct.

This is all you need, along with a FSM and maybe a chiltons: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=69741

Hey, it's a nice show car for now, maybe even win an award at WCSS...best sound system or something like that. Good idear on reinforcing the bumper more with a skidplate. You should bring it up to the walker campout...I'm sure nothing will happen to it

I like the front hitch receiver...will prob do that on my bumper. Not so sure about using it with a big winch, though. Even stock bumpers have more reinforcement than that to the brackets. :-\ As is, I'd use a smaller winch just for self-recovery. I vote off road rig; whether or not you even take it out on gravel, it's still capable. ~E

Did that alignment work out for you, how does she handle? I'm afraid that mystery water leak may be blown HG's.

Yes, MT's are better off-road, but AT's are hardly worthless: 27" General AT2's slinging MUD!!! Granted, I've only been to Walker valley once...but no one had to pull me out.

Good point...Vancouver's a big city, and is actually much closer than some of us members in OR. will be. How 'bout NOOB: Northwest Oregon Or Battleground!?!

Heck ya!!! I posed the idea a while ago, but there wasn't any interest: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=110449&highlight=hood A large group from all over would be good, so members closer together can wheel more often. For example, I won't be up to driving from hood to browns camp all the time. No name idears yet. :-\

...a lot of that, and I do believe any body lift will require a steering extension. Now, if you're talking a suspension lift to start with the 1.5's, then no. You won't likely find an exact measurement, even for a specified size like 4", because the specific vehicle can vary from others. Or get several different sizes of knuckles, and you may be able to combine them to the right length. I'd be prepared to weld, though.

Can't wait to see that bumper installed. Good find on those bad struts too!

I think it looks better than before when they were mounted to the yak X-bar. Solid as hell, too!!!

...fortunately I've got 70mph zones here... Haven't pushed more than 80 yet, but still have plenty of pedal!

Sure, I'm picking these up for other soobers: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=111352

I found some deals that just couldn't be passed up Wire decking from my work, for industrial pallet racking: Has about 2,000 lb capacity (properly supported), powder coated, and fits a yak rack like a glove. The center support just touches the factory crossbars, so it has some additional support there too. It's not a basket, and I like it like that. It will be easier to unload the spare, and nothing should be put up there without straps, anyway. Still need to mount the lights up. Wireless remote 3,000lb ATV winch: $40 new!!! Comes with all the goodies, but I'll still bring the comealong just in case at that price.

Glad I could help. That's a nice, simple harness you've got there...I guess mine will look the same, if I ever get around to wrapping it! Yes, the banana is the best.

I'll get it out of storage tomorrow to show you pics. It's a nice one, but I can't remember the brand now. :-\

Oh yeah...she's prob more experienced than I. My hometown portland/metro area doesn't get much compared to here. She used to drive large American RWD's with baldish tires in it so... The VLSD would sure be easier and cheaper to get, though. That would just require hybrid axles, correct?

Looks like a solid plan there...you can't go wrong with that recipe! I've got a receiver mounted bike rack never used, if interested PM me.

LSD it is then. I don't mind putting some moolah into this one...my trail wagon is the "cheap" build. Pam doesn't care about preserving this car as much as I do. I don't think she'd currently take it off road without a roll bar, but maybe after a few more ride-alongs. This car was SPFI to begin with, and the engines been pulled already. I wouldn't even try remote start with a carb! As for the automatic recommendation, I don't really care. She'll learn very quickly not to leave it in gear! It will prob only be used in our driveway, nose up on a 15%? grade, with the ebrake on.

I believe Scott said those are 30 or 31's in that pic...they look great, but if 27's don't look like doughnuts under that lift, they would be better for commuting. I might just put the 6-lug on it from the other rig. This one's the pimp car, then I can bolt up the generals, and see how they look. I'm fine with drilled rims on the trail wagon...it's getting uglier by the day anyway. An LSD never occurred to me, that's a great idea. How well does the LSD perform in the snow compared to welded? Killer price on the remote start...I was expecting much more than that! I'll have to look over that link in detail soon. Thanks for the suggestions, guys, keep 'em coming!

Yes, I should have been more specific. I would use numbchux's write up and wiring diagrams to find all the grounds. That said, what I have grounded is as follows: BLK/RED- A11, A22, MAF, and (2) from engine harness. BLK/WHT- A20. BLK- main relay. Hope that helps!

I grounded every black wire that should be grounded there, all tied into one. You should have more than one.

I grounded the harness to a strut top bolt. The engine harness is already grounded to the engine itself. Are you using the stock fuel pump relay, or the EJ's?
