Ask on a Subaru board and you'll have your Soob answers. Ask on a Jeep board and you'll have your Jeep answers. Everyone is a little biased in their opinions as to what makes a better wheeler. The only true answer is WHAT MAKES YOU COMFORTABLE. There are many variations of builds, and is determined by what kind of driver you are, what kind of trails are near to your home, how much money you have, etc. If I had 20 grand, maybe I'd be in a Subaru, and maybe I wouldn't. It depends on how the money was handed to me, As of now this thread is just a WISH thread, as none of us has 20 grand to make a true call to this thread, many of us have an amount we have spent on our rigs. I have been contemplating in the last few weeks in which direction I want my build to go, as I know that with the kind of wheeling I do, the area in which I live, and the people I hang out with, that there is NO SUBARU that will come close to what I want. Period. Therefore, I have two options: 1) Buy or Build something else that will, or 2) Build a Subaru that WILL do what I want. Either way, I wouldn't be using a lot of Subaru parts for the build. I am 6500$ into a build with the Scout, and that is not near half of what it needs in order to finish it the way I want, and that doesn't include the purchase price of the vehicle itself. That being said, I used to wheel a Subaru and loved it for what is was. It was a unique and mildly useful offroad machine, and would be great for about 60% of thr trails around where I live, and for what I do regarding work and such. And yes, some of us wheel, and have been wheeling since before it was cool: circa 2005:

If you haven't put a rig on its side then you're not doing it right! I just put mine on its side a couple of weeks ago. Now that that's over I can get on with wheeling it harder.

What's up Dave? Haven't seen or heard from ya in a bit! Is it true the rumors I hear? Your wagon is dead? We should get together sometime.

I was in the Green 2door JK in the first pic, first thread. If I ever make it up to another show, I want to tow whatever soob I bring and hit the trails up there.

Broken Link Mount. We had a welder on trail and got it fixed. Only damage of the day.Spent a day at the Moonrocks and ran Boondoggle with Genright4x4 down in Reno. Got a few good shots. Boondoggle:I was able to make the journey to Hammertown this year courtesy of CRAWL magazine. Got to work on the Yukon Car that Crawl was competing with in the Every Man's Challenge on Thursday. On Course: Backdoor Monday night for the 10,000$ challenge purse: One of the rigs drove right out of the rear axle:Yeah except a stock scout dana 300 will cost me more than what I paid for the rig. And then I'd STILL have to dump the same amount of money into it that I plan on spending on my dana 20. The d20 will do fine behind a klune v or a nwf black box. Now if you wanted to make some cash, I'd pay you for that scout, and then I'll take the d300 and you can scrap the rest of it for money and we can both come out ahead. EDIT: Yep, the last d300 I saw for sale just sold on pirate for 700$
