Hatch Patrol Members, active or inactive, feel free to add old photos of lifted HP action, before 2005... i'll keep digging around and add some more randoms!

but i guess these are some of the reasons why people miss active HP meets...

I can do that. Gimme a minute, I'll whip out some good ones.

 

For now, here's a few that I thought were worthy, I had to pick out 80 of my favorites. lol. Looks like you already posted a bunch of them though.

Great posting man! I love looking at the hatch patrol pics. You guys really did inspire me to lift my old mountain patrol. I give you guys mad props for the leaps in subaru offroad history. The true originators of subaru offroad. I still miss my mountain patrol. Keep on rockin.:headbang:

I was only ever there in spirit, but I remember pretty much every single one of those pictures! (I made it down for one OOSC meet, but all the pics from it vanished with John and Ross).

Sure is nice to see a trip down memory lane like this!

Here's a bunch of group shots, meets here and there. Mostly in chronological order.

 

The Hatch Patrol before we knew it.

The first actual HP 4X meet ad EC. Mike W had the only lifted Soob in the country.

That you know of. I remember seeing a lifted EA-81 wagon (4" or so, stock tires :eek: ) in Kelowna or therabouts in '89 or so (I remember the approximate year, because we had just gotten our '82 around that time). It's possible that someone else had one in the states as early as that, I guess.
