February 26, 200422 yr GeneralDisorder and I lifted my hatch last weekend, and after driving around town with 13" rims and sissy tires for a few days, I finally got some decent size tires on my 15" white spokes. It's about time--it gets kind of embarassing driving around town like that, all lifted up for no reason. Well, I just couldn't wait. My wife and I had to blast through some big mud puddles that the hatch used to struggle getting through, but now we just roll right through them. I've gotta take it easy though, since I haven't made a new skidplate or front bumper yet. Anyway, the photo's not so great, but there will be some action shots soon enough.
February 26, 200422 yr Are those Chevy wheels? Nice looking Hatch. Give it a dozen trips on the trail and it will look like mine:D
February 26, 200422 yr I have to say that this is one nice hatchback......now go out and show it what wheelin is all about:D
February 26, 200422 yr Yeah - it came out real nice. The lift went on in my driveway with no real problems - just the usual snags that always accompany this sort of thing. If we didn't take a 6 hour break on Saturday to hit a JY in Eugene, it would have been done that night, as it was we had it finished up and test driven on Sunday afternoon (didn't get up real early Sunday ). The plan is to caravan down to Medford this next Sunday (29th), and have a run with soobme, Adam, and SubaruJunkie (amongst others). Now that there's two of us in the Portland area that play hard with our soobs, we are toying with the idea of a club for up here. There's the HP up north, and the OOSC down south, but nothing for P-town..... GD
February 26, 200422 yr Cant wait to see it in person. Might wanna trim the fenders before the trip tho. -Brian
March 2, 200422 yr Author Finally got to take this thing out in the mud. Here's a link to the gallery: http://usmb.net/gallery/bugaru. Turbone--the wheels are 15"X6" Toyota 6-lug. I don't know if they fit Chevy's or not.
March 2, 200422 yr Great Pics, Great Hatch! I wanna play too! Did you make your own lift? Glenn, 82 Hatch, almost done..... 01 Forester, done!
