im starting a new build thread as the last thread i started about this build pretty much did i 180 and dident go anywere so im going back to the basics 

98 outback base wagon

32 inch tires

dual range trans

3" lift

pretty simple so far

im picking up were i left off no doors no hatch back cut off moved forward  and completely gutted ill be keeping the dash and heater though

so from here i do some simple tube work build some mounts for the radiator and install a lift kit and build some tube doors and do some more body trimming and i would also like to redesign the rear suspention and push the wheels back a few inches it would be nice if i could fab up some trailing arms and mount the strut to it but i dont know how to pull that off at this point

i had thought albout making it a 2 seater but i want the long wheelbase and well im realy liking the look of it as it is lol

ill be spending the next 2 weeks going through poontoon dudes thread again he has some awsome tech if i can find it in that sea of a thread lol

pics?

Looks pretty cool.

A Baja, if Subaru had released it a generation earlier.

that looks insane .. cool. do you like live there ? like its your yard lol ? cool . noone can tell you to not do it there... noone around lol

ya i love it out here neerest neighbor is a mile away ive only got 5 acers but there 188000 acers of national off highway vehicle park right accross the street to play in if i need more space lol

were heading in to extreme temps for a.few months if i was smart i would sleep all day and.go outside and.work after dark lol

but im not so progress will be slow over the summer

i love those place where you can just exist alone there ... mostly... nice man , i wish i could have all that open area just for me .. some ppl would hate it ... i love it
