10-4 buddy!!

All the holes on my lift were drilled and tapped to 1/2", And I have have no problems to report with 20,000+ miles and some serious wheeling as well. Mind you now, my car is completely subframed and this may have something to do with the rigidity of the entire car...

I'm not 100%, but I don't thing that's a pushbutton shifter. The pushbutton ones are square-er looking.......

Very very nice. That is a fantastic wagon....

This is what I'm running on my lifted wagon and Need just a little more stiffer springs. I think I'm going to have some made up. I figure with the added weight of my bumpers/subframe, my payload is sacrificed significantly. If my car is EMPTY it rides perfect. After adding a highlift jack, spare tire, couple straps, shovel, tools, and a few spare parts, I am OVERLOADED.....

I'm gonna have to come up and wheel with you guys sometime. Looks like y'all have some good spots up there. All our good spots in swwa are shut down and patrolled anymore. Not worth the risk of getting a ticket for me..

^^^^^^May also wanna check the timing.

There are 2 little plastic covers you need to pop off with a knife or something in order to access 2 phillips screws. Then you can remove the plastic cover and get to the bulb housing. You may need to remove the trim panel from the inside of the hatchback to get to the bolts which secure the actual light housing to the rear hatch. Hope this helps some. Spencer

Except for the air recirc port thingys near the exhaust ports. Someone else will surely chime in and clarify what I'm saying.

I dig it!! SUHWEEEEET!! If it were mine (and i wish it were!) I would do nothing to modify it at all. I would just drive it, enjoy it, and maintain it. Spencer

Bear with me on this, should be worth the read!! The other day my lifted car grenaded the tranny on the road so I called my brother to the rescue. He picked me up in his loyale and took me home. His car BARELY pulled my hill in 1st gear, I knew something was amiss. He also told me that he needed brakes soon and his muffler was about to fall off. We proceeded to b.s. about subie stuff and I showed him a bunch of my stash parts (rear discs, 5-lug stuff, sways and wheels and basically piles of goodies!). He showed interest and I had an idea ........ My brother's birthday is on the 5th of june, and he's got a 92 loyale 4x4 wagon, sooooo. I called my mom and asked her to borrow his car, so she calls him and gives him some story about moving furniture in the rain or some sucha thing and he agrees. Cool. So then I trade my mom for my brothers loyale and shes driving my outback. I went to the parts store and picked up a ton of maintenance items and go home. In roughly 5 hours (last night) I completed the following: Converted to rear disc! (Already had the parts) NEW f/r brake pads NEW cap & rotor NEW plugs & wires NEW oil & filter NEW fuel filter NEW 2.5" cherry bomb muffler Inspected air filter (still clean) Checked & adjusted timing (off 12 degrees!! HUGE difference!!) Rotated tires Now my mom is on the way to drop his car off like nothing ever happened and I'm stoked about it! I don't think I've ever done anything like this for anyone (as a suprise) and it feels good. I'm thinkin he'll get in, start it up and be like "my muffler fell off!!" Then be like "my car has more power!!" Then like "the brakes are working great too??" I'm sure he'll be grateful and I wish I could be there to see the look on his face !!!!

I did forget to add in the price of hoses, radiator and heater core. As far as fluids go I figure whether its a swap or not fluids are necessary, so for me, thats a consumable/maintenence item, such as welding wire, argon mix, t-belts, seals, clutch stuff, gasoline! Alot of this stuff is normal maintenance on most subarus and would have to be done at some time anyhow. I agree, what better time to do it then while its all apart, but, conversely, I also have the mindset if its not broke don't fix it. I don't count consumables/maintenance into the price of acquiring parts, thats just me tho, Its kinda like collateral damage IMO. Thanks, Spencer

I bought (and drove home) a 94 legacy for like $500, it came with an "extra" ej22. I sold the tranny/rear diff, for i think 200? wheels and tires for 100, my ea82 intake manifold with (brand new) weber and adapter for 250, and my ea82 longblock for 200. Paid 150 for an ea/ej adapter, did the flywheel myself, did the wiring myself (with some help of a friend), spent 60 at an exhaust shop having pieces bent up, and lots and lots of time..... which IS money...... With doing the math that puts me at 60 bucks into it (I think??) but, the time invested is definitely WAYYYYYY more than the money invested. And since then so far I've ruined 2 rear diffs, 2 5sp d/r trannys, fried 1 clutch, and replaced the front axles at least once each. Regardless, if you play your cards right, are patient, dilligent and resourceful, it can be done very reasonably. That is my experience anyhow. I would definitely look for a complete car either wrecked or with a bad auto tranny. Hope this helps with your planning some. Spencer

I am going to try to get involved in that yacolt burn stuff. I can literally spit on it from my house. They are really trying to do some good for the offroad community and I feel that helping is a way to payback/earn my place on the trail..

I have been stopped out there (here) twice now and have gotten kinda lucky as far as tickets go. I am a low impact off-road enthusiast, but, I understand that DNR and such are just doing there job (patrolling). There are A-holes out there who dump trash/burn cars etc. that ruin it for the rest of us. That area TeamCF is talking about is in the works, but as far as i know it could be up to 5-10 years before it is actually open. This is according to the last DNR guy I talked to. There are organizations working with them who are volunteering their time to make the trails and such, I have some info on who to contact to help this along. Hope this helps some. Basically, for me, I've pulled the swampers off, put the A/T's back on and won't be crossing any tank traps or going around any gates anymore. The fines/potential towing is not worth it. Thanks, Spencer

Technically, I live in Venersborg, WA. But since hardly a soul knows where that is I say Battle Ground. Even though it's like a 16-18 mile round trip from my place.. Closest neighbor, 150 yards, 3 dead end signs before you get to my place. Closest conveniance store 12 mile round trip.. Real nice tho, I live on a 100+ acre tree farm in the hills.

Very cool, I want one for a project I don't have yet just to be in my pile of parts.

SOG (Subaru owners group) or some variation of that. Northwest SOG, SOG of PNW, just throwin brainstorms.

5BG = 05LGTLTDWGN5MT . OBP Ummm what are puddle lights?? I have an 08OBK25XTLTD5MT DGM.... Suppose Mine came with em' too huh?!!?

I think it's a great idea, my only suggestion would be to not make it Oregon specific as to not deter anyone who may live in a bordering state from wanting to be a part of.... Maybe something like northwest dirt worshippers!? I dunno. Subie silt slingers?! I'll come up with more periodically in my head and throw em up here as I remember... Thanks, Spencer

Mines all 2" and the cat is not gutted. At first it was just a 24" cherry bomb but that was annoyingly loud, sounded like a cessna goin down the freeway. I ran like that for bout 6 months then changed over to a (knockoff) flowmaster. Better sound, slightly quieter but still loud and kinda raspy and backfired a little when decelerating. That ended up annoying me to so now I'm running an 18" cherry bomb in front of the (knockoff) flowmaster. It sounds good IMO, quiet @ idle and good tone at revs, I'm happy with it now and it will be my combo setup on subies in the future. On my next one I may step it up to 2.25" or 2.5" to make it a little more throaty..

On the window paper under standard features...... Quadrozontal engine..... That's flippin awesome!!!

Hi, I'm in battle ground too, I have a grey 6" lifted 90 loyale with an ej22 and 29" swampers. Lemme know if ya need some help with your build I have free time occasionally. Welcome to the forum!

I figured it out, your accessorizing (not modifying) a previously modified Subaru! I was gonna say something earlier but held myself back. Once I saw gucci and the mention of d&g I couldn't help myself.

I'm not sure how someone would "accidentally" jump a Subaru. And if one were to do so, there would be virtually no extra load on the parts pictured. It would be primarily directed toward strut/shock extensions. One thing for you to think about is the guage used on lift kit components compared to ANY other piece of the rest of your car. CLEARLY the weak point is not the sjrlift.
