I will be there crewing for Primitive racing....WOT!

Sounds awesome ! I hope to have my Mudrat bumper powder coated by then...Reminds me of Foster lake!!!

Too bad it only has street tires! Needs some AT/MT tires/mudrat bumper then it would be badass! like mine.....

Kewl! I plan on doing this mod soon . Now that I'm just outta warranty ...wahoo!!! I will definitely post results! I should have my Mudrat bumper done soon too!!! Perhaps a Auto owner lockup fest is in order! (snow/mud/hillclimbs)

Here's a Mudrat Designs baja tube bumper on my '03 outback + a modified Primitive racing skidplate/bashplate.

I don't think an explorer would fit on this ATV trail , let alone squeaze through the trees like I did.

nice lift! I used kingsprings for mine. Custom ground front calipers to fit 15" rims over and some 215/75R15 Yokohama Geolander AT+ II's just fit without rubbing!!!I need a body lift now! I believe Subaxtreme is making strut lifts so you can use stock springs.

I would sipe 'em. you'll get extra traction in wet/snow/ice conditions. I've even heard the tire wear is better although I can't verify that. I siped both sets of my on/offroad tires and love it.

I just read on the Rallitek forums that they are making a switch for the automatics!!! WAHOO!!! WITH A 50/50 SPLIT! I'm gettin one!

Rallitek is making a switch for automatics to lockup the rear lsd 50/50 split instead of a 90/10 for auto trans.

I have an '03 outback w/ 4EAT , 39,000 hard on/offroad miles!!! It's bomber! shifts flawless. I have serviced it twice with redline synthetic atf. Thinking about an aftermarket cooler though. For offroad it's great as it has a lower gear ratio in 1st vs the 5mt trans.

Why do ya think they call them Exploders?! I've pulled out two : one explorer out in a foot of snow when I was stock! I also pulled out a a Mercury mountaineer in the sand buried to the rear axle!!! I gotta say the suby is a more capable car... the rear lsd helps alot vs the open diff of the explorer. With my AT tires I'm almost unstoppable! I'll take on any explorer! I do drive like mad max on/offroad!!!

Mudrat was thinkin' about making one for the outback/baja rear tube bumper. But he needs a donor car. I like my factory rear bumper for now.

I might be up for that! I have the 26th off .

Nice ! I have met & greeted quite a few .....I'm terrible with names but ...I do remember faces. It's really kewl to see the comraderie at meet & greets . I have enjoyed it alot and made some new subie friends.

just a few group shots...

It was very kewl! Had a blast cruising around with Erik in his WRX wagon.....let it spool and get sideways.....the snow flies(blizzaks+soobie= fun)!!! We got up to 50mph a couple of times...! I do have a ton of shots to post soon including a group shot cruising up hwy 410 and at the gravel pit. I will be up there next year with my outback! It's almost done ...getting painted! I should be on the road by Tuesday!

cost depends on steel prices...but a bumper is usually around $895 raw unpainted. As far as weight I'm not sure...It's around the same weight as my factory bumper assembly('03 outback). 60-80lbs roughly . When I get my old one back I'll weigh it.

crashin trend......? Go figure!!! Well it's a subie , tough as a tank!

Samo Are you up for the x-mas tree run at Enumclaw? I'll be there!!!

my '03 outback wagon lifted/modified!

Always ! been in too many wrecks over the years ....reguardless if I was the driver or passenger..SH*t happens!!! Glad I had one on in two roll overs and one headon into a tree!!! I had a buddy who didn't have one on in a rollover and he hit three windows like a pinball with his head! He was ok except for a few cuts/bruises!!Lucky!

I know Mt.hood Like the back of my hand, summited twice , many attempts different routes(weather/chopper crash...!!!) . Almost killed by an avalanche!!! triggered a small avalanche skiing..YIKES!! Been snow camping on Hood since '77 I've dug alot of snow caves! Bivyed once during a storm (made a snowcave in foot and half of snow!) circumnavigated the mtn via the Timberline trail #600 with a 50lb pack (41.8miles in two days!) I climb, ski(tele/x-country), snowshoed, mtn biked , backpacked, canoed , fished, horsetreked all over that mtn! I know a few gems in 30plus yrs of going up there! I also do volunteer trail maintainence on the #794 cool creek trail and Hunchback mtn #793 + Devils peak lookout tower! I'm no expert just lots of experiences there!

Sounds kewl! I'm up for that! I can finally join the Hatch patrol!

Mountains...lol! those are just small buttes!(under 5,000ft)here's the mtn(Hood 11,240ft) pic taken 2 weeks ago! Yup... just me... Getting stuck..nah...It's a subie ! I've dug myself out so many times I can't count how many! Besides how many subie owners are crazy enough to follow me....? LOL! I know the limits of my subie... I have the gear to get myself out of a jam( bow saw/maddox/chains/beer for when life really sux...!) + being a mechanic helps too. When I go up to mtns. I have extra clothes, water, stove, food for a few days if needed.
