I'd love to but I'm taking a summer course! :-\

hahahaha

pics! I want to do this on my Outback but I don't think my wife is thriled about it

You can also test your ignition coil with a multimeter. I don't have the specs near me right now.

After installing the lift you will need to get a suspension alignment. After installing King Springs and 1/2 inch spacers, I was able to align the suspension with no problems. I have run 215/65R16 General Grabbers which are 27.5 inch diameter new and they didn't hurt my gearing enough to not be worth it. 28's might cause some rubbing issues. -Kevin

If you are sure the suspension is safe to drive on, put the new rims and tires on and inspect them weekly for odd wear. Also if that steering wheel shake goes away it's a sure sign that the old wheels/tires were definitely faulty. I'd still get an alignment asap, though.

Definitely inspect the suspension, but how old is the tire? The last 4 on the DOT number will state the week and year that the tire was manufactured. If the tire is older than 2000 it will only have 3 digits at the end of the DOT. If the tire is over 6 years old I would not use it! DOT should be XXXX XXXX XXXX or XXXX XXXX XXX if there are only 8 digits on the side of the tire then look at the other side of the tire. It should have the full 11 or 12 digits on the other side. Also, Is the rim bent? -Kevin

Snow, freezing rain, snow, now heavy rain to make it a big mess! had to dig out the turn around spot: Our landlords car (which we dug out): The road out is down there... Car all iced up from driving in freezing rain between snow storms: No action shots since my wife didn't want to get out and tramp through the snow to get shots going town the driveway and I can't blame her! The roads were terrible the last two days. 25 miles of thick snowpacked and rutted roads with ice potholes everywhere! -Kevin

I think the issue is time, money, and distance for most of us... :-/

I have some good pics from BEFORE I lifted my outback but no wheeling shots from after I lifted it! It must be because I only took pics when I got stuck but with the lift I haven't gotten stuck. I'd wheel it harder but it's my daily driver and my only vehicle at that. haha, I'm glad NASIOC is recognizing some lifted vehicles for a change!

Moscow, ID!

I caught the front tire on the edge of the road and it just sucked me in.... I was determined that I could get out on my own, but a neighbor stopped so we used my towstrap. I had to get to work anyways!

I put mine in the ditch yesterday morning after 15 inches of snow... everyone's fine as is the car. I'll have my wife email the embarrassing pics off her phone so I can share. :-p More snow is on the way! it's going to be a snowy winter!
