Looks like I'll be leaving at 8:00 so I can swing into West Seattle to pick up a buddy.If you guys are OK with a little detour, follow me still. Or, if not, meet me at Mikky D's in Enumclaw. I'll send you a pm Samo.

OK, Saturday it is. Those wanting to follow me, I'll leave at 8:15 a.m. Who's still in?

Doesn't sound dumb. But Galen, you've bailed on all the runs lately, so if I change the day, will you show up?

While I've not owned a rig with the divorced t-case, I've been around several and was deeply invloved in building a brat that used it. So, I gotta disagree with you a little BB. Since 8 inches of lift or more is needed to add the t-case, it will sit about par with a byb/pk 4 inch lifted soob. Your Y-pipe is waaaaaaaaaay up there, and in my opinion, the Y-pipe is the Soob's Achilles heel offroad. You gain BIGTIME Y-pipe clearance. WHile it may look like the Tranny crossmember is hanging, it doesn't change height, but gets higher with bigger tires. Not true. With 4lo on the Soob tranny running thru the t-case, you have some crazy low gears. Robert drove the Unhatched (the original to do the swap) more than 1000 miles to the Rubicon from Northern WA. He easily kept up 70 mph and got near 30 mpg. With 31s. In fifth gear. Several Mountain passes ta boot. Other than those, you've done your homework well. Great write up, great idea to do so. EZ

I'm with Jason, can't afford it. 30 bucks is just too much.

I'll be in the impreza, you'll do fine Samo. I'll leave my house at 8:15.

Yes you do. We could save eachother a lot of postage.

There's no hurry getting there, we can go at your pace. Or meet you there. C'mon Tex!

Still on, just a day early. We'll go up in advace of the Xmas run and get a feeler of where the good trees are. We can meet at Enumclaw Mikky D's. Call it 9:30 or so. Cool? Those from the North can follow me if they don't know how to get there or just wanna caravan.

What was the name of the shop so we'll know to warn people to stay away from them?

Thanks Austin. That one of me going across the rocks is exactly the one I wanted. See you next time. Zap

Actually, the Canadian Dollar hit a high last week, topped 80cents to the US Dollar. I sold one with 235k once for 1700. Car was solid as hell, the guy was glad to pay it. Are there others around you could get for less? If not, grab it up.

Lift away PK. This one's gonna be cool. AWD wasn't meant for the street. The legacy ws originally a rally car for Subaru, they're at home in the dirt. Turbo or no. Thanks dustyrider for pulling out that photo, you beat me to it. And yeah, what you said about it.

The weird thing. . . I just put a 4/3 in my hatch. 0 problems shifting into any gear. Had to extend my front brake lines, but no shifting problems.

I've been wanting one since I first saw this years ago. There's a dream soob thread going on somewhere, here's mine. This color scheme would do too.

Good lord man! You'll be the boss. Nice ride buddy.

Yes. BUt 2.2 imprezas didn't exist until 95. They're still 4gs and up in price.

No, I'm saying I'd trade my hatch for a Legacy in good shape. Sooner or later, I'd love to lift a legacy.

Ken loves his conversion. He moved the front wheels 2 and 1/4 inches forward so has 0 problems turning the 31s lock to lock. He just welded the Nissan rear and got spacers for the wheels to bring them par with the fronts. My hatch. . ? It did everything all the huge ones at WCSS6 did, made it thru the mud pit 3 times and drove back 250 mile to Seattle without breaking. . . It's gone everywhere I've tried to point it. Remember, it's my daily driver, it's as extreme as it's gonna get while I own it. Wait, that was my last one. LOL This one has been thru the paces the last couple of weekends and didn't bat an eye. (the diff was Jared's before me, went to and from Arizona and has been my daily driver/weekend locker for over a year) Really though, this one has the exact set up as the last one, just an inch more in the front and the modified A bar. That and 73k less miles on it. Might trade it for a young Legacy wagon with a 5spd and AWD. . .

Glad you guys found eachother out. I saw it at WCSS, but didn't look close at it. . . Cool car. Just go with a solid rear like Ken did. His works great offroad.

I can't remember the name. But, I remember that photos from when I first came on board at ezboard. I remember thinking the guy was just plain nuts, but now after wheeling with lifted rigs myself, that's nothing.

Hence my question if anyone has tried this for you Subie Guys in making a strong CV. I am refering to the actual CV's and not the shaft beween them. I blew an outer one last week, driving around the block. It was only 3-4-- miles old, a re-man though. "New" axles don't exist as far as I know, so I wonder how much cryo treatment an old re-man could take. I've only blown one outer up untill that one. The inners go from timre to time, but that's usually after running it with a torn boot and it getting mud and stuff in it. The weak spot on these use to be the bell. People fixed that by welding a small ring to the outside lip of them Then the guts starting to go and then Bobby Long started welding rings on them and cryo treatment of them. We call the "bell" the cup. They do explode from time to time, Scott Subarubrat welds something around them to beef them up, he'd be teh guy to ask just what and how. Also I guess almost every professional motor sport now from indy cars to lawnmower racing uses cryotreatment of parts to make them stronger. USMB = professional motor sport? Hence my question if anyone has tried this for you Subie Guys in making a strong CV Like I said, I think only Scott has gone and done it. But the next thing to go are the stub axles coming out of the diffs. And after that, the spider gears themselves. . . As for carnage, I can swap in a front axle and have the car ready to go in about 25 minutes. + or - a few. Thre rear in about 5. If the stub axle breaks off inside the diff, then it's a bit of a pain in the rump roast. I'd rather swap an axle. The ones I have have a lifetime warrantee.

Been wondering about you Fly. We miss you too. And Jared and John and Noah and . . .

You've been doing what you say. I wasn't so sure at first, but I figure'd it out pretty quick. Hope I've helped some. I hope you can make it up here, I'd love to take you for a ride in my hatch, you'll see it can on quite a bit and spit it right back out. Maybe you can make it up fot our annual Hatch Patrol X-mas tree run this year. We had almost 30 vehicles last year. You'll get to see a little bit of everything as far as offroad Soobs are concerned.

I've been lovin it since I first saw it rolling into WCSS6. Then I was crazy about it after watching it play in the mud. The reason you wanna sell it is ???????
