new to the.form been on offroadsubarus . i own a 1995 legacy wagon .around.5 inch lift hi lift jack lights.larger tires skid plate and many new parts.

Cool, welcome aboard! My thrashed on 84GL and I are just south of castle rock. Where do you like to wheel?

all over . been over webster pass a few times . central city , behind boulder . going to hit tin cup pass this year . how about u ?

The wife and i have been lots of places like that, but lately we stay local. Theres a couple of trails off of hwy 105 that get washed out and can be quite entertaining. Not much time to wheel far away from home though.

that sucks . id be glad to come check.that road out . i lived in founders village as a kid

I live in Denver. Well, Aurora right now but the job may be moving to the west side of town, etc. Not built for off-road but I'd like to get there. I'm not as interested in conquering the hardest challenge/deepest hole etc as I am in hunting down ghost towns and old mines and the like, which will require at least some modest off-road capabilities. I guess I'm aiming for a reasonable compromise rig. One that can hold its own on the road without losing too much gas mileage, etc; but can still handle some ditches and small logs on the trail, etc.

i follow you 100 percent. id just like a good size group to meet up camp and have a good time .Also explore fish and like you sayed see ghost towns . this year going to.tackle tin cup pass . its only rated a 2 . theres a ghost town named st elmo on one.side.of the pass . what year is ure rig . im sure i can help.you get youre project going .or shoot u in the rite direction

Welcome aboard.  84 GL hatch here in Littleton.  You're not alone here be a long shot.

Yeah thats good fun. A few years ago, the wife and I took our S-10 on a wheelin trek for a week, with a book of ghost towns and several trail books; using those we found the gnarliest routes we could to find the ghost towns. It was a great time!

thanks guys glad to be here

I have a '91 Loyale. I have swapped a d/r into it.

 

I'd like a 2" lift, 14" or 15" wheels. Maybe an extra set of lights. A 2.2 motor. Onboard air. A second battery. I think one or two other things (maybe a removable/bolt on full size skid plate, but I'm uncertain there).

all those are fairly simple things except motor swap . but we have all the rite people here in colorado to get parts and get the jop tackled .

Indeed! Money is a bigger issue, and time. For quite a while it was my DD in a 60mile round trip commute. Now I have two part-time jobs, soon I hope just one full time job. Hopefully that change works out and I can give the car some down-time, as well as having some money to work with . I can do some of these things myself, others I'll need help with.

any time you need help let me know

Indeed.

The full-time offer is looking pretty good, so I just have to give notice at the other job, by June, maybe? I'm thinking of picking up a bike at a thrift store to ride over the summer. This would give me some time where I don't *need* the car, as long as I stock up on groceries before I put her down for a few days! I don't live a block from the grocery store anymore.

 

Time for an adventure, at last!

that would work well

Welcome! I live in the Lakewood/Golden area and drive a '95 impreza lifted 3". I drive as a xerox repairman so my car is all over Denver,Lakewood,Littleton,aurora,greenwood village,Blackhawk,...,Colorado lol
