  1. Bennie,

    I haven't used any other LEDs yet. But I have been thinking about switching to red now getting bored with the green. I think the raised roof model here is referred to as the GT here in the States but I've only seen a handful around the flat roof is much more common. I have made a few more improvements since my last post I will get picture and put them up. :rolleyes:

  2. How do you attach pictures so they're not the tiny thumbnail? Is it because I'm doing this on my phone. I'm getting whooped and I'm usually pretty text savvy. Attached is a better view of my stance

    To get pictures to post so they're not a thumbnail I've had to put my pictures in a photobucket account and post them from there. All my pictures were coming up thumbnail before this, I have not figured out an easier way yet.

  3. The old struts make some noises every once in while when you hit a bump or pothole my guess is that they are original. So I decided to get new and give her a little lift with 1997 Outback struts. Struts and springs are assembled maybe next week I'll have time to install.

    Before I started my 1994 Legacy sat with the top of the wheel well at 26"

    Found time this week to install the struts that I had prepared earlier in the month. While installing I learned a few things on the way.

    1997 Outback highhats are the same as 1994 legacy highhats but only in the front. The rear of the Outback is a one piece unit and the bolt pattern is larger where as the 94 Legacy is a two piece with a small bolt pattern.

    The shoulder for the Outback strut is much larger to accommodate the one piece highhat spring perch set up.

    I Found that a 5/8 Grade #8 split washer was about the perfect fit for a shim

    So my end results turn out with 28" so I gained 2" of lift and a new set of struts! :)

    And Clearance enough to drive over and empty bottle sitting upright. ;)

  4. Picked up a 93 Legacy wagon in August of last year. Its in pretty good shape I've just been driving back and forth to work it's proved to be solid. So I have now decided to sink some money in to it and have some Fun!
