February 7, 200521 yr Here's some shots of the wagon after it found a deep hole in a creek crossing. The engine never missed a beat. I have a welded diff and the trip kept going from dirt to bitumen so I never plugged in the 4th CV at the rear ( 3WD ) . Found it to be just as capable as a std diff. I'm pretty sure I would have gotten through no problems if I had the 4th CV in. I have the snorkel, a diff and gearbox breather. It has 4" body lift, so the engine is fairly low in the engine bay.
February 7, 200521 yr "Queensland - Sunshine State" Heh.. Florida is the sunshine state. coo pix. Brown water == You have stinky car tomorrow. edit: haha! just noticed your ID. the pun wasnt intended.. but it fits.
February 7, 200521 yr Where did you get those fender flares? I want some like that. I think a lot of people on this forum might want some of those.
February 7, 200521 yr Great pics! Great Subie! I love those fender flares too! The pic with the water draining out of the foot wells is "Priceless" Love it! Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester
February 8, 200521 yr Author the wheels are 14". The fender flares were given to me from a friend who was pretty sure they were a genuine subaru item. The were moulded to the exact right shape without any metal to hold their shape, that suggests they were at least made aftermarket specifically for the subaru. I woulda put the rear doj in, but there was a fair bit of windy bitument along the way so I didn't wanna brake the weld and end up with only 2wd. I found the 3wd to be as good as a non-locked diff.
February 9, 200521 yr Your little wagon ROCKS!! I love it. Now I'm stuck if I wanna throw the spare on the roof or the back door.... The pic with the water draining out of the foot wells is "Priceless" Thats a great shot:cool:
February 9, 200521 yr Author stick it on the back, replace the rear bar with a steal bar and weld a wheel carrier onto that... not only a great place to keep a wheel, but gives you a good strong chunk of metal to hit things with ( generally by accident ). Also sticking it on the roof will create drag and drop your fuel economy! yeah she's a great little wagon but like all of them constantly needs little things done to it ... new front brake discs, balljoints, various squeaky/grindy noises, etc
