FirstSubaruGLwagon Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 You guys should have seen this,, I had my GL wagon loaded with 1030 lbs of tile this morning! Had boxes from front to back. "funny, I've never heard that sound before" (one time situation) Good thing im replacing the bearings and struts next month:-p By the way, what is the best brand of bearing to get for the Subees?

Subi81 Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Ok so we are showing off. Going off to college, the car was on a slight slope. Heaviest thing was probably my rolling tool box. Moving out of our old house, carrying, an ea-71 ea-82t and a 5 speed DR, trans, multiple 100's lbs of lead, (tore down an x-ray room) along with other stuff, Oh yea a really old bike. The diff was like 4inches off the ground. So com'on people how full have you got your suby? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soobmater Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 man that big gough in the side had to hurt. omg is that harb green? that is the same color is mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subi81 Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 eh what are you going to do it was a free suby! The previous owners son's friend hit it with his lifted pos. I figgure it is my anti theft device. Thief looking for something to steal, my car sitting next to a nice straight (insert any car here) theif thinks hmmmm that guy is probably dead poor I'll look in the straight car. I guess that is my way to rationalise not fixing it. besides it gives it charactor. And isn't that what soobs are all about. I preffer the term avocado, is that what the factory called it "harb" what is that? Bty I have yet to see another soob with this same color, throw some junk in yours, you know load it down, and post it. Just kidding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subaru_dude Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 finally got freakin internet. updates...... pulled my dad's '78 Chevy outta some mud about a month ago...... no problem. my friends '64 Chevy stepside, which I think is a 4000lb+ truck.... it broke down at the bottom of our hill and I wrapped a towel around the front bumper and then wrapped a tow rope around it (didn't wanna cut it on the bumper) and hooked it on each side. pulled it 1/8 of a mile uphill in 4WD low. my friend wants to get rid of his truck and buy a Subaru now..... lol. I am, to this day, absolutely astonished that it managed to pull that freakin thing up the hill. AND no new sounds!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumby Boy Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Here's your daily internet cliche.

Urban Coyote Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Heehee....was out with my buddies one night and couldn't get a cab home so I piled them all in my '91 Loyale wagon. Seven big people plus myself as the driver (I'm not big). Three in the back trunk, three in the back seat and one up front with me. Glad I didn't hit an pot holes as my Loyale was WAY down on the axles. Got everyone home safe and sound though Urban Coyote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintersubaru Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Drove all the way from flagstaff A.Z with 1000 pounds of stuff plus my lady,cat and dog to the pocono mountains (2800 miles) with 185.000 miles in 86 carbed sube wagon. As long as i had good run shots over the hills and mountains i kept an average of 75 mph and still got at least 20 mpg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muellerdeal Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 i pulled this scout about 30 miles it pulled good but on turns you had to go really slow (like stop) other wise it would push you rear end around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtsmiths Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I've had a weighed 1,300 lbs of rock in my '95 Leg. And cut firewood clear up to the ceiling, plus the roof rack full. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syonyk Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 That's the worst I have a picture of. I did take my GL wagon out to West Virginia, over mountains, with 4 big guys & a motor in the back of it. Plus, I've hauled a lot of stuff back and forth between Ames & Iowa City. I love my wagon - it just takes the load, doesn't complain, and hauls my stuff around. I'm sold on Subaru wagons :-) -=Russ=- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
