I've towed, snowmobiles. lawn tractors, motorcycles, boats, buggies...etc with my Subarus without any problem. I'd keep everything within the weight limits of the hitch, trailer and your Subaru, but I never hesitate to tow with my Subies. I use them as Sport Utility Vehicles!

Hey Guys, The SubaruHummer is a Rhino kit with some modifications. I wanted to make the Hummer also, but I couldn't justify the cost and shipping expense of the Hummer front hood section. It would have made the buggy an expensive build. At the time, I was looking to get around rust issues of a car with a perfectly good drive system (without spending big $$$). Mudrat suggested the Rhino kit rather than lifting a rusty sub, because it may be a waste of time. I'd tell you to build one! As far as I know I have the only one in North America. It would be cool to get a group of them assembled. The buggy is registered Off-road as a 2004 Rhino. On-road registration would have required substantial modifications (wheel wells/fenders etc...besides insurance, emissions and safety inspections). It's an off-road buggy! Before you start one let me know, there are some problems with the RHD to LHD conversion etc... There are also a bunch of modifications that you may want to do to the plans before you start the build. Compare these to the Rhinobuggie Bandit pics http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showgallery.php?cat=500&page=1&sort=1&perpage=12&ppuser=584&= http://usmb.net/gallery/albuo21 http://www.rhinobuggies.com.au/prod05.htm $1,500 as it sits:eek: Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester

All my remotes came from Ebay. They were all original factory remotes and I got them in good shape for $10 each.

I used my rear plug for a fan once and the fan nuked! I haven't used it since? Does your compressor still work? Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester

Wouldn't that be fun! Flying...........but not high enough to get hurt..........badly I've wanted one of those forever

Looks like fun Was the Jeep able to keep up? Post more pics! Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester

Try taking it off-roading That should shake something loose

Classy not Ricey I like it!

Becareful with the plastic panels and plugs, they get real brittle.... You may find one of the plastic keepers on the lock mech has failed too... Good Luck, Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester

I think it could use a lift kit Where's Mudrat? Glenn, 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester

LOL! T1 line and getting paid! .......and I've got no work to do.

Are you getting paid? to be board? I am! Shouldn't this be in off the topic???

There should be a clip just off the blower motor that you could tap into to see if the motor works. My guess is the motor works great and the resistor is toast~ Good Luck Glenn 82 SubaruHummer--just hooked up the blower yesteday--It's cold! 01 Forester--you could cook thinks with this heater!

By 1983 the Subarus were costing from $6k to $9k Now they cost in the $20's Where will it all end.... We need to archive the old ads here on the board. Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester

I've towed Hobies, cycles, snowmobiles, lawn tractors and junk behind my 82 GL with no problem. In fact the low gearing of the car actually helps you tow better. I've never had a problem but, I have never towed anything very heavy. What are you thinking of towing? Glenn, 82 SubaruHummer--towed all kinds of crap--waiting for a hitch to be installed again 01 Forester--towed "Summer" before it was finished.

Messed with the heater in the buggy so it blows HOT air instead of COLD air. Not going to have a hot cold switch. Going to be left on HOT and cable removed! The buggy has plenty of cold air available without the heater. Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester

I guess that makes it "Hammer Time" Beat that into submission!

Looks great! Whatchagot in mind for the wheels and tires Inquiring minds want to know? Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester

Welcome! I wish I had that kind of ride when I was 18. Keep "Her" up and she will treat you well! Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester

I added Ebay, Keyless to my 01 Forester (which are listed as std. equipment). It took more time to find the clip than to install the box! 15 min. tops! I got mine used from an Ebay JY sale. Got Ebay remotes too. It was a unclip the old box undo the mounting nut, install the new box, reclip, put nut back and tighten, install for me. It has been my experience that, with Subarus, all options are pre-wired and all you have to do is locate the place and the wires and your set. Charm---EBAY $10ea Good luck, Glenn 82 SubaruHummer, no options! 01 Forester, Keyless + remotes, Security system, Wood dash, Gauge pack, rock sliders, spoiler, push bar--all subaru factory parts installed by me---easily

My Forester lights have never been switched off since I don't have DRL. I only wish I had them I'm willing to pay for replacement bulbs more frequently than if I left them off. To me it's worth it to let idiots know where I am. However having said that, I have a Trooper that does not have DRL or a door switch to turn off the Headlights. I don't use the headlights on that vehicle because I know I'll leave the lights on. Wonder if that makes any sence? Glenn 82 SubaruHummer--630w shining forward. Has no low beams. 01 Forester--no DRL! other cars...

1989 for the FT4WD RX D/R 1988 was the last year for the normal D/R I don't think, Loyales didn't had them in the US. As for transfering, you may have to beat some metal and make it behave a bit:banghead: but it's been done before....

It's the FPCU that does the talking, I just threw away my hand made wiring diagram yesterday---It may still be outside in the can? What happens is the FPCU determines if the car has reached operating temp or if it is still cold. The choke is adjusted accordingly by the FPCU. It won't run worth crap (when it's cold) unless you have this working properly. I've been down that road... In your case, I don't think it's the FPCU, you have swapped it out, without results. When my Fuel pump went out back in the 80's the Subaru Dealer hooked a light up to the FP and put it on the rack...sure enough eventually the light went out and the car stopped. Intermittant short. You may want to rig up something like that? You could trace it to the wiring or the pump using that method. A ground problem would make some sence. Glenn, 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester
