I bought a Yakima rack & 'kayak stackers' for my wagon to haul my whitewater kayaks. Subaru OEM rack is basicly the same thing. I never had any trouble with them except that the bars do not extend out as far so there is not enough room for all the boats & it was a pain to tie teh boats down. yakima & thule are the two major roof rack manufacturers & they are both really just the same. I went with the cheapest setup - yakima.

I won't take the chance. I try to keep it on roads like 'The Dragon' & the occasional gravel road. Post up when you are headed to Uwharrie, I want to see you run up 'Daniel'.

I've been out there, but in my Jeep. I would go, but the WRX Wagon is NOT & my Jeep is not running. So have fun & take pictures because not too many Subarus are seen out there. Have you been over to Uwharrie?

boy am i jealous. I am waiting for my chance to get out to Moab & the Rubicon. Great pics & vids! thanks

I've been on the beach North of Corolla, the paved road ends & you can just keep on driving after airing down. You can also drive down to the North side Carolina Beach or go down to Fort Fisher. They are charging to access the Fort Fisher area now . Either place is good fun, just watch out for the tides. Hatteras, Ocracoke, & Nags Head have beach access ramps, but you can't drive as far. I've heard some jeep guys go to Croatan NF, but don't know anything about it. Hopefully I'll have my CJ5 put back together and running soon so I can get back out there.

i'd go, but gotta work. have fun!

I'm a glad owner of a 02 WRX & thought about putting on an intake. I've heard many people advise otherwise. Do you notice anything different besides sound? BTW, you won't do any damage to your new car, but when you clean/oil the filter don't oil it too much.

are you talking about this site? I don't think there is anything older then 96 though.

Is the dragon open in the winter? I'd like to try out my new wagon.

better not count on me. now that school has started i have no money & have to work on saturdays. It would be nice to get out of the city though. That area is SOOOO nice!! I heard about an interest in going to Uwharrie on the Forester board. I'll call in sick to see that! But there is so much to do in the Pisgah NF. The last time i was headed up there in my Jeep for a 4x4 trip the motor blew up and my buddy broke his shock mount on his CJ7 on the trail.

Count me in too! Can't wait

There are a few that I know a/b out east. There is Uwharrie NF that has lots of good trails to ride on. I haven't seen a subaru out there yet! When I was at NCSU there were a few trails we used to ride on. Is anybody up for a group ride?

I'm getting 25mpg on average in my auto 97' 2.5L OB. And that is city driving. But it still isn't running right.

I have a 93 Loyale with a 3spd Auto. It has the speedo cable connected on top. Maybe someone messed with it before you got it.

I've heard stories of guys out on the NC coast getting caught by the tides and watching their vehicle swept out by the ocean, but never seen it. I laughed, but I can't - that might be me someday. It was a good thing you risked it and grabbed some shots before you almost lost it to the sea.

Very nice ride! I think a set of black wheels would look sweet if you got the windows tinted.

i agree with 990bw. take it back to the dealer where you got it before you have to pay for it.

My 97 Legacy OB has the same setup as FillG. I found the wires for the button. They are 2 BROWN wires, but don't know where they run. I too don't believe you'll have the same setup. Sorry

thanks for answering my question that's what i was looking for. I knew you guys could help. Does anybody want it?

Here are a couple pics that might help. I just want to know what car these came out of & what kind of 4wd tranny it is. The engine was carbed and the two came together so I know that'll narrow it down.

I am the proud owner of both an OB & a 73 CJ5. The best of both worlds. I got the OB and went off road with it, but nothing like the stuff I take the jeep trough. Ya subarus can go off road & do well, but I personally would like to have a jeep. The one thing I don't like a/b the jeep is how horribly it handles - they aren't as fun/safe as driving the OB. Nor does it have the room. Good Luck & Have fun!

There is an EA82 engine & 4WD tranny sitting in my garage. How do I decode the #'s? Here they are FR-TW75F9A1CB EA82AAW E0-U3 Does anyone have a link where I can do it or can someone tell me?

I went out on the sand at Carolina Beach/Fort Fisher in my 97 OB & was fine. Only problem is staying out of the ruts. A trip would be great, but I'm not sure if they are allowing beach driving now after the hurricane that went through. There are no "regs" exactly, just that the vehicle needs to have current vehicle registration, license tag, and the operators must have a valid driver's license. I know they are going to start charging to drive down at the Fort Fisher, but believe the other areas like Hatteras & Ocracoke are still free. There are a few good sites about driving out there, just search google. Here is a news article on the beach driving fee at Fort Fisher

I bought 4 wheels off ebay like in the picture. They are 5-spoke 15" Steel Forester wheels. I am trying to avoid paying $40 from the dealer for the 4 center caps. I think the P/N for the ones I need are "28811AC110 ". Where can I get them cheaper then the dealer?
