Sweet82 Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Scott, Stock drive train...so...not so extreme but... http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showphoto.php?photo=434&sort=1&size=medium&cat=500&page=4 The body is extremely modified. Bobbing is good but an exocage seems like it might tax a Subaru too much. Weight is the root of all evil for our cars.

MorganM Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Several on the USMB; I'll let them speak for themselves. I would like to draw your attention to the custom suspesion done by Brumbyrunner in OZ. Lots more up travel, minimal gain in down travel, and a sweet custom setup. http://www.ausubaru.com/ausubaru/html/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=3495 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam N.D.J. Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Here is what it looks like as of last summer w/ 7"s of lift, 6" lift frame, 7" extended struts (not a strutcap extension) and coilover rears. 5spd D/r, nissan T-case, 17" bobbed bed, lift off front end: Not like that though now. It's under decontruction, for a reconstruction. It's getting a new frame, new suspension, all kinds of new stuff. 90% custom built. Will be different from any Soob to date when it's done. Can't talk about it though, real hush hush, If I say too much, the "people" will lock me back in the basement again! Oh, did I mention the ER27 above??

Turbone Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Well, its not super extreme, it still has ISP. But it does have 8in of body lift with the engine sitting on a subframe, divorced Nissan t-case and some real fat 30" Swampers. As of this time it hasnt had a real test yet, HP style. I hope to before winter hits Oh yeah, it doesnt need to be bobbed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazed Dreamer Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Oh yeah, it doesnt need to be bobbed just a quick question this .......^^^^ is a new word "bobbed" ive never heard it before what does it mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott in Bellingham Posted September 2, 2005 Author Share Posted September 2, 2005 just a quick question this .......^^^^ is a new word "bobbed" ive never heard it before what does it mean? bobbed = to shorten or modify say the rear section of the body to give you a better angle against a hill or a tree its common on the toyota pickups around here to have a shortened bed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazed Dreamer Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 like cut off the rear end after the wheels right? cause shortening it before the wheels would make it easier to flip backwards on a hill Just makin sure I know what you mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbone Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 The term actually comes from the Bobcat. You know, bob tail (or the lack of)? The term is even used in trucking, which means to run without a trailer behind you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
