John I mounted it as close as I could, so that it doesnt kill the approach, but it actually saves the bumper! I would like ti find some beefy metal to bolt to the bottom of it, as a skid plate now... got any leads on metal? I was thinking about boeing surplus... they have both titainum, and misc forms of "diamond plate" sheets for pretty cheap usually.. also the paint thing.. dont worry.. I will work on that soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudrat79 Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 DON'T USE DIAMOND PLATE...... it acts like a Big drag.....think of each and every one of those diamonds as a little finger reaching out to grab the mud and goo...... What ever you use, go smooth..... my recomendation is 12 or 14 gauge steel .....it is Light and Will be pretty bullet proof where you are putting it.... Does the A-bar you have on have any of the underside cross bracing in it still....?? If not you will want some, otherwise you will have the skid stuffed up to your oil pan on the first good rock or dirt mund you hit with it......

Subarutex Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 That metal I gave you come in handy? Looks great!! Paint it flat black please!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 That looks wicked man! Those offroad-EJ mods are really working out nicely. I'd give it another year and a half until we start seeing 8" lifted, divorced-T-case Imprezas running around (hint hint!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to throw on some scorpion springs in her when i get a few extra bucks. I actually chopped up the origional mounts on the A bar, then re-welded them to the bar at a different spot.. the rear mount is using the swaybar inner bolts (attached to the X member) and the front mounts are using 12x1.25 bolts with captive nuts I attached to little extensions on the sides of the A bar, wich screw thru the tow hooks using big washers to keep it all in there.
