Dude, your rig is sweet looking. good luck with your swap and keep us posted. wish we had that body style up in the 90's here. Oh, by the way, don't let this one get stolen. sorry for your loss but hey look what you got now.

Been there before and spent the night about in the middle of the Alvord, been going over there off and on since the mid 90's. Done some trail riding with motorcycles in the Steens and Puablo Mtns. until they closed it all off to motorized vehicle use. But, i have done alot of backpacking in some of that backcounrty too. This trip the wildfires kept us from going over to that side of the mountain they had the highway closed south of Frenchglen. From the top of Steens Mtn. all you could see was smoke to the south. The town of Fields was almost evacuated do to the fires jumping lines down there. So all we got to see of the Alvord Desert was from the top of the mountain.

yeah, that should hold air no problem. you could even have bead sealer put on just to make sure.

WOW, a brat boom truck/tow truck, lol. yeah, all the stuff i've ever done is pretty tame conpaired to that but the i value my life way more then he obviously does.

Man awesome, thats a sweet looking hatch you got there. don't bang it up to bad when you wheel it, lol.

DUDE, nice job its looking good. i need to get my BUTT in gear and get my 86 wgn done, i'm going to do a camo paint job on it but im not sure if i want to go with something like yours or a desert camo. that looks sweet. can't wait to see when its done.

WOO HOO, started my vacation the weekend before WCSS8 so i could make sure i had that weekend of WCSS8 off. Well we took a trip into part of the Oregon Outback, mostly back roads with some highway connecting roads. Started out east of Bend, Oregon at Pine Mountain and went into the Fort Rock OHV area, did a little exploring looking for an ice cave but would like to come over here and do much more they have a trail system in this area and maps showing them. well went through the OHV area on our way to Fort Rock then made our way over to Christmas Valley, Or. to camp at the Fossil Lake Sand Dunes ( not sure if this is the official name all i could find) on the edge of The Lost Forest again didn't get to do as much exploring as i would like to have done. From here we made our way to the Hart Mountain Antilope Refuge to get to Steens Mountain area, was planning on camping on it but do to wildfires all over the area from lightning strikes the day before we had to camp outside of French Glen, Or. at the Steens Mountain Resort. from our campsite you could see the fires burning WOW what a site. ended up finding a way to the top from the southend of the loop road. well anyways here are some pictures of the trip that i put into some albums, will add another album with a couple of more pictures later. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showgallery.php?cat=913 the pictures are backwards in the gallery from the way the pictures we're and the way trip went, we started at The Pine Mountain Observatory.

right back at you there hippie. it was nice meeting you and talking to you.

thank you guys very much it was an awesome time, this was our first one and we are looking forward to next year. chaz

just a side note, when i did my conversion to an lsd i used an 8mm socket but it was to tight and it slipped and started to round the head of the bolt, ended up getting a torx socket and finally got it loose. my 2 cents worth, if it matters.

DAMN, looks like you had some fun. wish i could have gone now but was out of town so have go with a next time. thanks for the call too. was that around the browns camp area???

nice pictures, i'm with scrap, call me next time you want to go. i'm interested in exploring some of that area, those trails look like alot of fun. i've only been down to brown's camp and thats alot of fun but that was with my other sooby.

thats the idea i have for when i put my 86 back together, if i decide to put covers back on that is.

Nice, i like your wagon man, looks cool. like how you did your winch.

dude thats some nice work, looks good. yeah i like that idea with the fenders too.

don't mean to be a copycat. but, i figure since i was there and witnessed it, i would follow in scrap's shoes. i third that.

nice video, thats the kind of conditions i like wet and muddy but i'm with everyone else at least at that mudhole you should have punched it a little and threw up some mud. a little bashing won't hurt much of anything, you just don't have to get crazy.

yes, it was very dusty but a whole lot of fun was had. a good variaty of different terrain and conditions.

MAN, that sucks, stupid laws. you guys down south have alot of good terrain too but i know you guys make the best of what you got and can do. heres cheers to our brother subaru wheelers way south.

awesome video and nice looking sedan you got there too. man those locked rear ends sure work good i like mine. mud , man i miss mud. everything hear is dust now.

hey scoobyclimbs, if you get this tonite or early tomorrow that is if your still going up wheelin give me a call and let me know where to meet up with you. i'm coming from gresham my # is 971-645-7523, thanks chaz.

oh how i miss the snow. thats some nice looking snow. looks like you had some fun with your brumby, a little weight in the back and you would have lots of traction.

looks like i may be able to go after all, i'll know better tomorrow.

That sooby looks awesome. Nice job. What else is going to be done to it?? Now thats simular to what i had in mind to do to mine sooby.

damn, i can't i've commited myself to doing a 6" lift on a co-workers toyota tacoma this sunday. thanks but i will have to pass this sunday. chaz
