June 3, 200619 yr I am definetly in. Got my swampers yesterday. :-) just need to get some springs and install my suspension lift(forester struts and springs). Is the date set in stone, if so i'll request off from work now and make it a point to get everything done before july.
June 5, 200619 yr I'd also like to know if the dates set in stone and everything is official, what we'd need to bring, and who's organizing all this? Or is it just 'all of us' type deal?
June 5, 200619 yr As far as I know, the 15th was the weekend that kinda worked for everyone .... (if we have to change it, I dont know if I can go):-\ So not "set in stone" ....but "would be nice" 75 subie had the inspiration for this meet, and so I would ask him to be sure (sorry Jon if I am mistaken) As for what to bring.....the website says something about a tow strap, a full size spare, and hard "recovery" points on the front and rear. Of course....spare parts and tools if you have them are always nice! Is anybody planning on doing any camping? I think that camping/wheeling would be GREAT:headbang: ...that, and it would be kinda hard to make a day trip out of it for some of us Im sure. Lookin forward to it!!!!
June 6, 200619 yr july. I would be down for camping. I just need to get a tent(unless i could bunk with someone). I have a sleeping bag and an air mattress(and a pad) + cooler and all the regular stuff.
June 6, 200619 yr I'll just sleep in the back of my wagon if we camp. Does you need to book anything with Paragon? I also think if we're all going in a group, you would only need that listed equipment total in the group. Not for every rig. I could be wrong though.
June 6, 200619 yr i don't believe you need to book anything with paragon. pretty sure you can just show up. as for equipment, i have a tow strap
June 6, 200619 yr Author i`m good for july 15! not sure if i can camp overnight tho:-\ maybe we could all meet at harry's upullit in the morning for a quick scope out of the yard, and then head over to paragon around 10:30? or we could also do that vise versa, and go to harry's later in the day, its up to you guys. i know i can`t wait:banana:
June 6, 200619 yr Do you know the area around Paragon very well Jon? I am wondering where might be good to pitch a tent (state park, KOA) ???- bummer if you couldnt camp out man. :-\ Any pointers?

June 6, 200619 yr I'll plan on the 15th, might as well bring my girl along too. My project wont be ready by then, just the swampers.
June 6, 200619 yr Author backwoodsboy, i`ve never been to Paragon, but i do know the area around Harry's reasonably well. don`t recall any campgrounds right around there, but there *might be a koa around 10 mins from there. i am pretty sure something was there...... Harry's later in the day sounds just fine. Brucey, sure bring your gf! if she is not a believer in subies already, she will be after this trip!
June 6, 200619 yr paragon has camping listed on the grounds... $5 a night for primitive camping... they have 3 other campgrounds listed as well... not sure how far they are from paragon... http://www.paragonap.com/p_lodging.htm
June 7, 200619 yr does that $5 include a fire permit? Cause nothings better than a campfire and some food cooked over an open fire + a few cold ones.
June 7, 200619 yr It's 391 Miles to get there for me.. so.. ~6-7 hours, not too shabby i may also have to convince my girlfriend to come, i'm thinking i'd leave friday and campout somewhere friday night.. or stop in CT at one of my friends places.
June 7, 200619 yr The 5$ primitive camping @ paragon sounds great to me! Im in for that.:cool: Anybody else gonna camp? We should get a site together. MY g/f informed me she WONT be coming..... she said that it would be too much subaru for her all at once! ........too much SUBARU?! I guess we've gotta have a talk:grin:
June 8, 200619 yr damn, no alcohol on premises of paragon. Looks like we can camp out and have a fire, but no cold ones
June 8, 200619 yr Oh well. Smores it is then. Ordered my springs yesterday. Already have my struts and my 27inch ssr's. Gonna go mount the SSR's today. Getting ready. But it doesn't look like i'll have a sturdy recovery point in the front considering mudrat appears to have dropped off the face of the planet. Do the stock tow hooks on an impreza count as "front and rear recovery points" ? If i get a tow hook from a 4x4 wesbite/store, can i drill and mount that onto the rear diff subframe?
June 8, 200619 yr I'll hopefully be mounting my SSR's today also, I had to order some new steel wheels since the only used ones I found were 1) the wrong size 2) cost more 3) used

I"ve had my impreza hauled out by those 'tow points' they're not great.. but they get the job done... do you have a trailer hitch? Oh yeah, anyone else want an 'OFFROAD SUBARU' Vinyl windshield sticker? I'm going to make 4 at work (because it's not worth wasteing 40something inches of vinyl for one...). I can bring them w/ me when we do it up hardcore-like
