2" of lift. I'm a machinist. Worked on it off and on for about 3 months.

2" with camber offsets. Next locker switch.

You sir are an evil genius!

Originally took air from fender. That ended badly in some semi-deep water. I got lots of idea's,wife says I'm full of it.

Took the rear off my Forester,can hardly tell the difference on the road. Much more articulation off road. Pitch it.

Good to know. Makes me feel even better about the way I did it.

Well I'm really just getting started on this. Has... 2001 Forester L 2004 engine New radiator Yoko Geolander AT-S 225/70 15's Cold air half snorkel Handmade skidplate Hella 500 driving lights Am working on... 2"lift blocks Trans lock switch Fan cutout switch (pulling fuses is a pain) Differential vents

No elephants but their are alligators back there.

That's actually the O'Ladies best friend. I'm building a 2' lift right now.

Mud and dirt I love it! Pics Vids

Glad I can log in again.

The filter is in the big black box. My 01 is map based,maf systems would need more routing of hose to make it work.

Their are drains on either side of the winshield drain area. I drove it in a drenching downpour, I opened the filter box and the filter was dry. All I know is what I did works and I won't suck up water in a mud pit and blow up the motor again.

No water issues at all and I've been running it for 2 months now. I would think this wouldn't be a good idea without some kind of drain in the intake tract under the hood,otherwise it would fill with water when the car is just sitting in the rain.

That picture of the flange is inside the drain area. These are the only other shots I've got with the cover off the windshield drain area. Their are no vent holes in the cover directly above the inlet flange in the cover. With the cover on and the hood down it looks bone stock. You will have a distinctive ROAR when you hammer the gas peddle but sounds normal at speed or during mild acceleration.

Yes it pulls air from the windshield drainage area. The hose and the flange is from an auto parts store. was easy to do and will stop me from hydrolocking and blowing up another engine. http://www.subaruforester.org/vbulletin/f98/i-warned-38272/

There is no doubt about it I've become a stone cold dirt addict. Me and my grandson having some fun. :woohoo:

I did this to my 01 Forester. http://www.subaruforester.org/vbulletin/f102/cai-half-snorkel-41252/ It has worked fine. Everyone will tell you "it will get wet,to much air turbulance,blah blah blah"but with a K&N air filter you will have no problems.
