the Dealer Options winches were basically a 1500 SuperWinch I believe... you can still get 'em the same size. (local parts store has one for $160) though not the same yellow I don't think....

I live in Nipomo. I think Blackroad is the name of that yard. They used to have a lot of subarus, but then the last time I went there they crushed all of them but maybe like 3. They didn't have any legacys before, so those must be new. They used to have like three or four XTs, one having a spider intake. They only kept one of them. Talk to the big guy there. He is really nice and gives good deals. The woman working there likes to rip people off.

I have one of those HF #2000 winches on the back of the Buggy, works great.

The base mounting plate on the HF winch is 5-1/2'' L x 4-1/8'' W. It uses 4 bolts. Pretty easy to mount or make a mount for.

 

Good Luck,

then a left down on willows.....itll take you to a windy road just stay right and youll find em...i dont really like black road much any more, that young big guy

gives me really crappy deal wanted one time 350 for a trans........which is

a total joke....the old guy is the big guys father is cool as hell though.

Im gonna out there this weekend hopefully pm me if you want to check it out!

Wanna do me a favor and check all the XT turbos for 3.7 LSD rear end? If so, pull it apart and get me the LSD carrier...

I don't know what kind of mount it has for a winch, but here's a cute little one.

Will that lil' winch pull my hatch out of 3' of mud? The price seems too low for it to be any good, but I have no experience with winches, so I wouldn't know. It is cute though, I would probably buy two if it could pull my little hatch out of the tough spots!

No, that winch is to small to pull a subaru out of the mud!!

Go with a 5,000 or 6,000 lbs whinch and you'll be set.

Check out http://www.warn.com

the M6000 winch would be perfect for a subaru.

A 2,000 lbs. whinch is better on an ATV

Oh, you are talking about the mesa. Ya I been there quite a few times, but there is only like one yard there that had 4 or 5 subes in a row (two of them being XTs). There is another yard there with a turbo wagon and there are like two more yards there that have like 1 subaru each.
