Rocky was snuggled in the garage so I couldnt get a shot of him in the snow A snow covered Subaru is a Happy Subaru
February 3, 200719 yr Well! I'm about 5 hours north of you (currently in the middle of a tropical snow storm) and "the big plan" here is to part out my front wheel drive '88. I'm sure there is more than enough brake stuff here to get you going, including, but not limited to, a rear axle assembly. The "upside": Pick and don't pay, I have no use for the brake stuff you need. The "downside": About 1 foot of snow down Leave me a rolling car (meaning: put your old junk back on) I suggest you leave this for future reference, it is really too miserable out here to work outside (though it is above freezing today, due to go back to -20 Monday, I was hoping to get some stuff done outside myself today) and when the weather moderates a bit you are welcome to what you might need, or if desperate be my guest.
February 4, 200719 yr Then A Subaru in The Snow!!!! Even a FWD one. I must agree! Can't wait to play with my Roo in the snow. Nice pic!
February 4, 200719 yr Pretty, I like the white on white, so sweet. Fix the brakes and drive it!!!! I prefer driving my '86 BRAT over the Baja in the nasty stuff. I HATE its ABS brakes. Let me slide and recover on MY terms. I know better than they do and have waaaaaay more time in the seat dealing with slick roads than these dang things PERIOD! They scare the heart out of me.

I have been looking forward to playing with the XT6 in the snow ( Full Time 4WD ) but because of his charging issue he had been stuck in the garage for a week..Once Bucky is all better he is going back to my daily driver ( or if things work out maybe this summer a much new Leg or Imp) Dont want to beat up on the 6 cause its supposed to be spending the rest of its life going to shows ( once he is all restored) nect year he gets Vintage tags!! I want the same for Bucky too though
February 4, 200719 yr I agree - nothin like a Subaru playing in the snow. This was about a week or so ago.
February 5, 200719 yr I remember that. Got some more subaru stuckage this weekend with the snow making drifts everywhere. Going up to a friends house, I come around the corner ready to floor it, because I know there's going to be a big drift in the middle of the hill -- lo and behold, someone's already got an outback sport jammed in the drift with all four wheels off the ground Bunch of digging and a tow strap pulled it out. There was another drift with a F-250 highboy stuck in it with all four wheels off the ground -- had to lift that truck up with a front end loader to get it out. Drift was only about 4 or 5 feet deep by then. Blowing snow is fun
February 5, 200719 yr on the island we rarely get drifting snow, only enough now and then to make the roads slick. we got a big dump in november and the hardest thing about driving a sube in it is avoiding all the other idiots in a hurry.
February 5, 200719 yr Aaaaah. Subarus in snow... Hey, I had two Broncos and a 4Runner stuck in my driveway on Saturday that required some serious pulling to free. All my Sube took to get un- "stuck" was a couple guys pushing me.
