  1. Correct. I welcome the chance now to try and pull something that outweighs my rig by 1K lbs or more. I have a receiver hitch in my rear bumper, so I have a decent hardpoint to anchor to. I will be making sure my bumpers are securely attached to the frame now:rolleyes:
  2. Your welcome to come visit anytime. Heck, theres lots of job opportunities for the right people, move over here:headbang:
  3. This is the website for WRC Subaru...http://www.swrt.com/news/latest_news.html I dont have the one for National circuit. Sorry if it isnt much, but its almost 4am here and I dont even know why I'm awake still:-p

    Whoops, that was a typo. I meant to say HOW did you setup the car. But you saw thru my mistake and answered the question:cool:
  5. I've never been to Naches, woould love to do a weekend trip. Is it to early to start planning?:-p
  6. Actually, theres one more thing I need to do to make it "Complete". If I get a couple of hours of dry weather I can do it. I'll post pics here when its done.
  7. Well, thinking about what we talked about earlier, I hope we can squeeze in before the full size rigs. If you know what I mean?
  8. The only thing left to do is weld in the cross piece thats above the winch. Everything works too, considering its been sitting for years:headbang: And no, I dont care if half of my high beam is blocked. I have plenty of other lights.
  9. A snatch block should be my next aquisition.

    Who did you setup your RX for AutoX?
  11. Its only a little 6000lb'r:-p And up here, you never know:rolleyes:
  12. Got it in, just needs to be wired up and tightened down. There was a cross piece that was welded above that I had to remove so the winch would sit in the tray. Now that its in, I can weld it back in.
  13. Where did you get yours Tim? Does it really come in a roll? Ok for your tires, but that wouldnt work for mine.
  14. Ah, my way is the scenic route............lots of cows.........
  15. It looks like....................................................garden edging:rolleyes:
  16. What he said^^^^^ I bet the inside of your inst cluster looks like your ECU:rolleyes: Before replacing stuff, figure out whats causing all the moisture inside the car.
  17. Very nice work:clap: A couople of suggestions tho. There are some of us that do some very aggressive off-roading and the y-pipe is usually getting beat up pretty bad. Maybe try and incorporate shields for the exhaust somehow. Dont think this is the case where your at or doing, but for further reference to anyone here wanting to build something similiar. Also, all the bolts should be flatheads and countersunk. They will get sheared off by rocks/hard pack easily. But I say again, nice work:headbang:
  18. Analog or digital dash? There should be a fuse regardless which one it is, I would check all the fuses.
  19. Oh yeah, already did that. Look in the Off Road section on pulling stuff out of the woods:-p
  20. If you are going all the way into Enumclaw, your going the long way. Turn right on 400th (Krains Corner, little resturaunt on right with new stoplight) Go about 3mi and turn left on 244th and take it all the way to Hwy410. Turn right and you will cross a bridge and be in Buckley. You know the way from there. http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?searchtype=address&country=US&addtohistory=&searchtab=home&formtype=address&popflag=0&latitude=&longitude=&name=&phone=&level=&cat=&address=&city=enumclaw&state=WA&zipcode=
  21. 2hrs? Are you driving granny speed or what?:-p It takes me about 30min to reach the trailhead, I usually stop at the Chevron to get a day pass and donuts:rolleyes: All right, I'll try and make it there by 9:30 but I wont guarantee it. If I'm late I'll get on the CB #5 and holler when I arrive.
  22. Could be a vacume leak. Try the carb cleaner around the hoses trick and see if the idle changes. My first XT6 had a nasty crack in the intake hose that couldnt be seen unless it was removed and inspected.
  23. I have to turn a piece of 1x2 square stock into a 1x2 L shape. And its about 2ft long. I would prefer to cut as much as possible with my angle grinder, that way I dont have a bunch of slag to smooth off from the torch. Or I could find a piece of this size ready to go, then just cut the whole thing out and replace it with that. Save me from alot of work with the grinder. I might just make a trip to Fife to the metal yard this week:brow: Or, take the sawsall, cut the piece out, drop the winch in, then weld the sucker back on. I would like to see someone try and steal that sucker then:rolleyes: I think I'll try the latter way first. Cant hurt, and it just might be alot faster.
  24. If you can find it, use what the Military used all thru WW2. Its called cosmaline. I've seen stuff from the 40's opened up and still looked brand new.
