2005 wrx wheels on 96 outback?
scoobyclimbs replied to starkiller's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXthe offset should still be 53mm for WRX wheels, outbacks have a 48mm offset . I put '03 WRX wheels on my '03 outback no problem.....although the stance will be narrower than wider.

'03 obw cleans ORV trail @WCSS7
I decided to give my recently lifted outback to some serious test on a nasty orv trail at WCSS7. I cleaned every section of nasty technical trail on 3 wheels between two trees with inches to spare and not a dent or scratch! alot of brushing through scotch broom but I survived without any major scratches! I had a blast! I know some folks took pics of the action hopefully they will post them here!

Can I drive w/o a rear stabilizer?
scoobyclimbs replied to powderhound's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXwhy would you jeopardize your safety!!! It's there for anti-roll. I'm a mechanic and would never run a vehicle without one!

overheating any secrets on bleading radiator
I have the proper tool! It's a "cooling system vacuum venturi" I got it from Matco tools ...Since I'm a mechanic it was a worthwhile investment . I was done changing coolant in about 3min. It's a very nice tool and you can check leaks as well with it .No air to purge period ! I will find a pic and post.

MudRat Front Bumper - Install Review
ok here's a couple of shots I took of the Rallitek baja and my outback with the Mudrat bumper (taken at the rally-X season opener). A mudrat is the bomb! I've pulled a few large trees out ofthe road and small boulders too.....I feel sorry for the old man in his nice volvo who ran into my Mudrat in a parking lot ....I was in the car parked! Volvos just aren't that tough anymore.....LOL!!
