MorganM Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Score! That's a lot neater than the typical A bar style. Looks like what a lot of duders in the land down under run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(local parts store has one for $160) though not the same yellow I don't think.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet82 Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 I have one of those HF #2000 winches on the back of the Buggy, works great. http://usmb.net/gallery/albuo21/MVC_170F 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, Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torxxx Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
