I ground my front calipers 1/4" to fit 15" rims on then mounted a set of Yokohama GeolanderAT+II's(215/75R15) awesome offroad traction!!! You could get WRX or STI 4pots(calipers) but you'll have to finda a 15" wheel to fit over them. Speedline corsa.....Vermont racing. If they're not AT or MT tires your asking for trouble....

wire in a toggle switch to overide the Duty C solenoid (4eat) this will lock up the rear! I plan on doing this...It has been done successfully! I do have a rear LSD so that helps ! Usually the only time I get stuck is highcentered in deep snow! I need more lift!

Snug for the drain plug . I mean come on ......it's a drain plug ! This isn't rocket science.....I am a professional mechanic.....Common sense goes along way. As far as the pan bolts you might need specs as overtightening can distort the pan or gaskets.

Possibly the duty c soleniod or a loose ground wire to the TCU. AKA torque bind.

87 and 92 no problems at all....in my '03 outback in Oregon

Just go to carls jr. and get greased by Paris! BIO-diesel.......yeah baby!!

build a snorkel.......or slow down ........I offroad my '03 outback alot ..... Get a lift that will help. I've been through some deep puddles and no problem ....I am lifted 2" plus have a custom CAI ("Ganzflow style 3" into the fender with no problems yet..

I'm with Mudrat.....very satisfied with customer service!!!

"What was I thinkin' " (country song)......Shut off the lights ...kicked in 4 wheel ....tore through a corn field .....what was I thinkin'.......

another pic while cruising the powerline roads near lolo pass.

looks like I won't be there as I haven't located a helmet.......!!!I was too busy this week......

I'm probably the only hardcore auto offroad driver here. I'm pretty happy with my choice.....I was a hardcore manual driver for years(exception of my '75 monza 2+2,V-8, turbo 350 w/b&m stage II shift kit, ) The only reason I ever got stuck was ground clearance! I've got pics to prove the auto w/AWD is great for snow, sand, mud....pulling large logs, small boulders out of the way , a Ford explorer out of the hole in deep snow!....unlimited slip at the torque converter too. Plus a lower diff ratio of 4:44 vs 4:10(manual) Mines an '03 outback wagon by the way. I'm pretty good at manual shifting my auto too!(within the rpm /speed range) mileage is actually just abit better than a manual.(gotta love cruise on long drives)

I have a rear LSD already the front will be next....

I plan on getting a Milemarker Pe-6000 and two snatch blocks/straps. A Z-pulley setup you've some serious pulling strength.

I finally got it done........grinding the front calipers 1/4" to fit 15" wheels/a set of Yokohama geaolander AT+II's (215/75R15's siped). I also fabbed/welded a cargo basket (from wire rack shelving) for the ful size spare /shovel. I did abit of testing at the Oregon Trail Rally forest service roads and at Mt.Hood in some snow in May! I'm loving it! I need more lift/winch...

I can"t understand the comparison yet a jetta (road car) vs outback (offroad car) its like apples and oranges.....! Maybe a jetta vs a legacy gt might be more appropriate. I"m a mechanic and jetta"s are junk! you see lots of older gen outbacks but where are the jetta"s (scrapyard!)

camp five action! I made it out to that location it was pretty wild! The black neon that almost tagged the tree ! Remember the splasher! HA..HA..! Subie Gal endo/roll.........blue wrx wagon..both are ok saw them at the afterparty. I was rootin for my team Primitive racing! Paul Eklund/Price(yellow '02 wrx) it was a great day !

kewl! needs tinted windows and rollbar!

215/75R15 Yokohama Geolander AT+ II's (15" konigs w/ 40mm offset), '03 outback wagon 2" lift via king springs, abit of trimming on the Mudrat bumper(lower tube), front splash guards removed, trimmed rear inside fender, Front calipers ground to fit 15" rims.

I'm looking at some Ranger cb's, I'd like to mount one in the empty din mount storage area under my stock radio on my 'outback if possible(otherwise overhead via the sunglass storage).

I'm down for some local shreddin'........

Get a Mudrat bumper it's air bag compliant too!

Carr subaru actually recommends and has a redline synthetic upgrade services ! I have been using synthetics for everything since '90 .I've see no dissadvatges at all . Less friction means less wear, better longevity,mileage.

ROFLMA! love that pic of the riceball umm.........ductape!
