July 14, 200916 yr You know Andy, Boldly going where no Subaru has gone before I saw the Brown Beast at WCSS 10, diggin the header, but i would spring for a skid plate. Not too hard to make one, just cut/bend some plate, weld some tabs, and bolt it on.... Now lets see that rig in the mud eh??? -Bill
July 14, 200916 yr Tex was in the crater behind me. I'll see if I can dig up the pic. Edited July 14, 200916 yr by Turbone
July 14, 200916 yr The stock skid plate mounts just suck. The front is horrible - I've crushed the lower radiator support on my wagon nearly flat over the years. The rear is no better - that silly plate under the cross-member will end up bent and screwed up in pretty short order. I ended up building a reinforced mounting plate by welding flat bar to it for support. It's not alway about picking the right line or the wrong line - when I wheel I wheel with the INTENT to break my rig. If I'm not wheeling hard enough to break it then I won't know what needs improvement next. That's the whole intention of building a wheeler - to build it, break it, and improve it. GD
