  1. If you ask teampanic nicely he might do it for you. He did it for me and I was supprised to find my car was pampaered by only 2 people before me.
  2. U-haul has them. I just took mine off (90 legacy wagon but will fit sedan) and sold it. It is a class 2. Tounge weight of 350lbs and total trailer weight of 2,500lbs. You will also need to wire up aone of their universal trailer wiring harnesses. They are easy to do as they come with scotch-loks. If you need the wiring diagram let me know and I will get it for you as I still have it wired up. The hitches for the cars use the smaller (not 2") rawbar. Depending on what muffler you have, you might have to cut some heatshield off. you will need a 1/2" drill bit and some big sockets to install the kit. A jack or a few friends wouldn't hurt as it is heaaaavy. You mount it to the two rear tow points with a bolt going through eash and then you have to drill 2 holes in the unibody and install these weird nuts. It's really not that hard. Hope this helps. (please forgive me crappy spelling..it is late and I am tired)
  3. Maybe if it was closer to me in FL or I had time to come get it. It seems latley I do not have time to breathe. Throw a figure at me and we will see if I could squeeze some time off. Does it run/drive or will it have to be trailered? My cousin in CO loves FJ's..maybe he would want it..or get it for me and bring it to me. Let me know...
  4. I think if Subaru (the company) would read the things we say about their cars, they might use some of our suggestions when building new models or redesigning older ones. We all know which cars have what flaws so we have the power to sway buyers. If someone come on here asking if they should buy a Subaru we know what to ask them and what to tell them. Now that I am done with that... I will trade you my 90 legacy and my 88 Cherokee 4X4 for your outback....anytime. I have never owned a 2.5 but from what I hear they are a PITB to do a timing belt. How are the 3.0's????
  5. I think my sperm is powered by Subaru...it would explain all the kids I have. I just wish they made a Suabru sticker with that Coop "devil girl" on it. I would love some of those on my car. Maybe they could make that naked girl logo into a mudflap and then I wouldn't feel so bad about putting it on my car here in the dirty south. Lesbians like outbacks aye...hmmm. I wouldn't mind taking some bi-lesbians outback of my house and right into the pool.... Who is with me!
  6. I was out and about today when it started to rain and it got me to thinking of this post...Wouldn't you know it, my drivers side wiper is overextending as well. I know what I will be doing tommorow.
  7. Heck yeah! I have 234K (going on 235 tommorow) on my legacy and she runs like a champ. Only thing ever replaced was the water pump and timing belt. Simple stuff like ALT, axles. fluids, filters too but those don't count.
  8. Like a leaking oil seal. Mine started leaking oil in the same general area. I thought it was something major. Only hard part was putting the timing belt back on correctly. Josh has the link to a site that basically walks you through it with pictures. I could even help you if you had any questions. Hope this helps. Mine was so bad it covered the back window in oil and created it's own smoke screen.
  9. Fine cars are like people...they grow old gracefully. You should have used Oil of Olay (mothers products) to prevent fine lines and wrinkles. Your car is getting old. those things happen. My car is 14 years old and it looks like ARSE! There was no growth hormone in the oil like there is in milk to make 14yr old girls look hot as sheeot. (jail bait) Just take care of the interior from now on. Maybe seat covers might help. Ya feel me?
  10. I'll trade you my 90 legacy and my 88 XJ 4X4 for an FJ40 anyday! I know you are loking to get rid of a disco (why is beyond me) but if you ever want to unload an FJ....I'm here for ya. Greg
  11. Do you drive a flat bed or a Dynamic? I presume dynamic would be best in your line of work but I have done it in a flatbed. If using a flatbed just throw some degreaser on the bed and it will slide up like a bar of soap in the tub. If running a dynamic just lift the front. Most Roos use a 90/10 power transfer ratio. (front/ back) Granted there is a fuse under the hood that disengages the rear wheels, I believe it only works when the ignition is on. Besides....get in, get out, get on with your life. It's not your car! Don't worry about it. You did your job. Let the lending inst pay for the damages. They wanted it back so bad. To all those who do not pay your bills: While you are sleepin....I come creepin. FYI: The movie "repo man" is some weird sheeot! If my memory serves my correctly it has Dennis Hopper in it. "DON"T OPEN THE TRUNK!"
  12. I will be on the highway doing about 80 and passing everyone but when I am doing 80 with the cruise control on it seems that everyone passes me. It actually feels like my car is going 70 but still says 80...what gives?
  13. During my days of selling cars on ebay (still do) I would go down to south FL and but three or four cars at the auction and have them shipped up to my home for arounf $50.00 a piece. Granted these were local guys doing the move, not a company like DAS that does door-to-door, is fully insured and works around your schedule. The old saying still applies here.....you get what you pay for. There are actual websites that will find you the best and cheapest shippers. Do some searches on yahoo and see what you can find.
  14. I think he is actually refering to a sudo-skidplate. There are pieces of plastric under almost every vehicle to keep dirt and things of that nature out of the engine compartment though. I believe the one he refers to is between the front crossmember and the tranny crossmember.
  15. Look on ebay. Make sure to check "completed items" I bet you will find your answer. Hope this helps
  16. I always wondered about that. Just tonight I was checking the oil in the legacy and it said it was bone dry, which I hope is wrong because I put over 500 miles on her in the last two days I think it would have grenaded by now. I checked the oil once before and it said it was low so I added a few quarts but when I checked it days later it was over filled. I bet I over filled it again tonight. I just got so used to checking the oil when I had a bad oil pump seal that I guess I just got in the habbit of checking it all the time. Good habbit though.
  17. What I want to know is how is the brat on the highway? Can it get a pretty good top speed? Whats are the gear ratios? I had an 88 Toyota pick-up with the stock 4 banger, 21 inches of lift and 44's but I was also running 4.56 gears. Wasn't the fastest off the line but it could do 50-60 with little trouble.
  18. Take your vehicle to the closest church and have it cleansed of all it's evil spirits. See if that helps. Maybe run holy water through the radiator. Thats about all I can thnk of now.
  19. Sounds like a dying alternator. Take it and get it checked by a professional. There is your second opinion. You can take our word for it or the tow truck drivers. It's your call now. Hope this helps
  20. The offer of food and beer usually makes my friends come running. Just put a TV in your garage and put some porn on it. when they are all fixated on the show you can position them how you need them. You won't have to worry about them going anywhere for a while. This might only work for my friends. It may not be a good idea to try it with yours... When I had my garage in Colorado I had these two giant posters (subway size) of lesbians getting it on and whenever my friends would come over it seems I never got them to do anything that I asked them over for in the first place. they were all drawn to these posters. I bet if I wasn't around, the entire floor would be covered in baby batter. Sorry if that wasn't PG.
  21. I apologize for any harsh things I might have said. I do not appreciate when people can not take constructive critisism. We are all adults here. Just because we have expensive toys does not mean we should have the mentality of our children. As for my comment on Nasa. I saw the shuttle challenger explode. I was in the third grade in Titusville, FL. I went to the school named after said shuttle. I have friends and family that work there and I think they are doing a fine job. Hell, my daughters grandfather is the guy that gives all shuttles lifting off from FL the final inspection and my cousin is on their swat team. Yall work very hard I am sure you are good at what you do. If I didn't have a criminal record I would be out there too.
  22. Do yall agree with my straping it to a pallet plan? Thats what I would do. I like the oil in the cylinder idea. I can't believe I didn't think of that. Besides...if you do that and it does not hold pressure, it is a bad ine and you shouldn't be installing it anyways.
  23. Ladies and gentlemen of the audience....watch as we make the money in this dudes pocket.....DISAPEAR!! Alaka zam, alaka zoo, alaka Subaru.....POOF. It's gone. For our next trick will attempt to deflect boulders of of this small sheet of plastic. If you install it on your vehicle you could use it as a jacking point...it is that strong!
