  1. EJ series lift as well.........need pics! I have on '03 outback wagon in serious need! Note I have king springs already!
  2. tire pressures and mileage...... I prefer to leave the tire psi at the stock settings as handling is more my concern expecially at highway speeds. Given higher pressures will benifit with better mileage . I feel that stock pressures will be safer for hard cornering or abrupt manuevers(more contact patch) also less uneven wear on the tires.
  3. reminds me of ShadyIrishman......he got so big air in his lifted leg...........at WCSS7 it was awesome ......although there was some carnage.....one strut/rear window broken.....Noah has got a pic!!
  4. I had to use my bowsaw to cut small trees out as I was slidding off the road in packed snow(ice) almost down a hilldside whew....... here's my list: cellphone/FRS radios First aid kit tow strap w/ hooks (great for removing large blowdown /small boulders out of the way! shovels: spade/ snow chains!!! compressor 18v electric impact gun 4x4 block of wood(small) tarp 3 pairs of gloves: fleece/mechanics/nitrile headlamp/flashlights bungy cords/ratchet straps 1" fire extingusher needle nose vice grips (for rubber brake lines ) socket set/wrenches Maddox for really heavy blowdown! I got caught in a nasty windstorm and was blocked in with 100ft firs falling down allover! pretty scary! I got out in time... Duct tape zipties mechanics wire FUSEs water/oil extra clothing/rainpants/jacket/hat TP for my bunghole! extra food Beer for when life really sux!!!
  5. Anyone up for some offroad cruising in Northern Oregon? Mt.Hood? BBQ .......
  6. damn! my wife needs to visit her dying aunt in Roseburg! Another day ........
  7. my Mac 3' breaker bar and Snap-on strap wrench, with 1/2" drive flexhead ratched worked great! no effort really just leaverage. I have an auto 4eat trans , so putting it in gear and turning is absurd! Are you kidding me ! removing spark plugs or disconnecting coilpack ! Get the right tools and do it right.......!
  8. "I want it , I need it ......give it to me now!" Quoted from a 5yr having a tantrum in Trader joes!!!ROFLMA.......! Better to lift ,than bash and get stuck! Getting highcentered in snow that's my beef!!! All soobs should come with a lift option factory!! Yeah ! The look on folks faces that you did the impossible with a subie!! Or you just got beat by a wagon!LOL! Yep changing the baby in the back is better lifted........!
  9. I chose PIAA 520 fogs myself for the bumper , also a set of Hella ff75's drivng lamps but plan to add Lightforce on my overhead"focusable and have different covers{blue,amber,etc}"
  10. That is awesome!! a very sensible article too!
  11. the offset should still be 53mm for WRX wheels, outbacks have a 48mm offset . I put '03 WRX wheels on my '03 outback no problem.....although the stance will be narrower than wider.
  12. I'm in Tigard, Oregon (just South of Portland)and being a mechanic by trade, I can fix anything, anywhere, anytime!!! My outback wagon can go just about anywhere in all conditions too! My cell #503-three-one- four-seven-five-three-five. I can travel pretty far if needed.

  14. here's my '03 outback wagon cleaning an orv trail on three wheels!(so technically I'm driving a three wheeler atv right.........lol...........)at WCSS7.
  15. Oh yea! my backyard sandbox! I hope I can make it! better on a weekend...My vacation time might kick in...........
  16. The guy with the PDF had some pics too....Right between the trees! I want those! He got some great shots! I had a great time! Who says the new gen isn't tough enough .......proof in the pics! Thanks for all the shots guys! Lets do it again!
  17. I decided to give my recently lifted outback to some serious test on a nasty orv trail at WCSS7. I cleaned every section of nasty technical trail on 3 wheels between two trees with inches to spare and not a dent or scratch! alot of brushing through scotch broom but I survived without any major scratches! I had a blast! I know some folks took pics of the action hopefully they will post them here!
  18. What a blast! It was great to meet everyone ! Yea I think my '03 OBW survived the brushing . I got it washed looks pretty good! I had so much fun on that orv trail it was awesome! I need pics guys! Thanks to all the volunteers, vendors who got this years show up and going!
  19. I'm there about 1:00AM as well....I was wondering too! Well we can meet up some where in Shelton and have a brew! or down the road a few. I know the area somewhat after being up there for the dryad quest rally races a month ago.
  20. why would you jeopardize your safety!!! It's there for anti-roll. I'm a mechanic and would never run a vehicle without one!
