I found this book when I bought my 84 touring wagon. It is called 4WD with Subaru. It is about 50 pages and covers the vehicles 4wd options, tools, technqiues, trip preparation, driving in different terrain, etc. Has anyone seen this before? It looks like it might have been an Australian only release, as it is published by Subaru Australia. If you want to look at some images I took of it they are in my album

Do you have access to a scaner?you should scan it and post it for free in PDF if not I could if you want to send it to the US.

Yeah I have that one Suburpy - its a pretty good book. Has old Australian Subaru Clubs information in the back.

 

Still pretty relevant techniques no matter what the 4WD.

Can You scan for us please this book?

It's very interesting...

Wow, ive never seen that book before. I bet that is pretty rare. I love how the wagon in that book has a big obnoxious brush guard on it! I bet that book was only offered overseas, probably not here in the US.

 

A PDF would be nice if possible, i'd like to read what that book has to say about wheelin your sube.

If you would scan this and post it in pdf format for the rest of us to dl, you would definately be my new favorite aussie! Thus you would be unseating Mark Occhilupo.

Thanks!

PDF creation is not one of my big points (not sure about Suburpy). I'll go one better for one of you enterprising Americans and give you a lead
