Me too, and I can suffer (and I do mean suffer) thru being at one for only two reasons. Weddings and Funerals. You have a PM Mike. -
I get it now. But, just so you know, I have about 15 taken from the TV, and about a little over a 1000 taken with cameras. . .

I'm gonna make you change your name to Eeor or however he spelled it. Just show up Mike. We got a couple others to drag themselves to the gathering that will make it worth your while if hanging out with Ken and me and my 7 mo preggers missus isn't worth it. The main group will be at the sand pits probably. -

BTW. He did ask for Subaru stories. Stories about getting stuck are cool, but ones about quads and chevys are off topic. Let's hear 'em.

I've been stuck so many times in Subarus, I've forgotton more than I remember or could be prompted to remember. All of your stories are seriously lacking pics. So, I dug up some picks of me stuck, I'll type up a quick story for each. Stuck1, 78 4X wagon, my first Soob. I was eyeing a big long hole, sure I could make it thru, it just looked like a puddle. I went in about 15 feet and it got really squshy fast. So, being a rookie, I stopped and tried to back out. That was that, it just sunk. So, my buddy thought he'd drive around and push from the front. (we had no tow ropes) He got just as stuck as me just as fast. So two of us headed out and hiked 5 miles to find a guy with a Jeep to get us out. The Jeep got the Soob, but not the Jeep. We had to get anothre guy with a winch and a snatch block to get the Jeep out. (I'd kill that hole with my hatch!!) Stuck2, 83 brat, 3 inch lift, 28 inch swampers One of the first serious trails I'd ever been on. Mike W and I discovered it when we first took out our hatches together. Reiters Pit, we call it the Hobbit Trail. Mike got kinda stuck the first time he went thru goning the other way. That was WWWAAAAYYYY before the trail had been used and abused and dug out. Heading out in the Brat, I thought I'd give it a try. What could happen, I get stuck? Sure enough, there's a tree root that has a deeeeeeeeeeeeeeep rump roast hole on the other side from guys with 36s getting stuck in the same spot and digging it out worse. I was resting on the rocker panel, with the font tire dangling over. The water ws so deep inside that the passenger seat was under. It splashed over the console and soaked me when they pulled me out. 2 Soobs had to tie to eachother to get me out. Stuck3, 86 hatch, 3 inch lift, 28 inch swamper ssrs Just plain forgot to put it in low range when I shoved into the deep snow. Booged down, lost momentum, and that was that. Stuck4, 82 Brat, (Bob) 3 inch lift, 28 inch swamper ssrs Tried to be the brave guy and tackle the impossible. Clutch got wet. Say no more.

Seething a little, but not gonna say anything. If you don't get my concerns as a parent, you don't get it. period. "Because I don't say it don't mean I ain't thinkin' it."

Good year ultra grips! I use those on my impreza for rallyx and snow. Great tires!!!

I'd get a second person to help you with the front. You'll need someone to pry with a bar of some sort to get the tranny crossmember lined up. If you force the bolts in, they'll cross thread. Make sure you can get them in a few threads by hand first before going at it with the rachet. The rest of the front is cake except the steering extension. I've had to pry the new one good and open to get it to fit onto the knuckle. To attach it: Leave the front 6 bolts to the crossmember good and loose, so there's room to attach the extension/knuckle. Fit it on, then tighten up the crossmember bolts. Don't worry about getting the extension on so your steering wheel is straight. It's super simple to pull off the steering wheel and realign it when you're all done.

Not my point. If you don't see the wrong in racing with 16 year olds in hot rods, then I don't know what to say. My first car was a 1969 Mustang with a Boss 302. A WRX wouldn't have stood a chance in a straght line. Some how I lived thru all the maniac driving I did with it. But in retrospect, I was dumb as hell. I had no idea how low my driving skills were, at 19 I knew everything, you couldn't have told me different. With some time and experience, I've learned some lessons, and one would be that 16 year olds have no business racing on the street in WRXs. I race with my impreza plenty, it goes like the wind, but try to choose sensible times and places and situations to do it. When the young kids come up along side me in their silly Hondas, I bite the bullet and let them go. When the little bit older ones do, I let them have it.
