Everything stock except lift n wheels n tires. Roof rack is made by Surco. Bought thru Amazon. Next on list, motor swap. Ea82 has no guts uphill -

thanks guys..actually all the bang-bangs are semi-auto..im from a state that believes in a bullet-button :-\ -
Just wanna share w/ you folks my 1st trip to the desert w/ the wagon. Its been a couple months since i lifted and did maintenance to it. Yesterday at Ocotillo Wells, nobody in sight, 110* weather, me and my bros did a day trip to shoot our guns and do a little off-roading. Have to say the wagon passed the test except for the AC goin out as soon as we left the site. The trail, about 5 miles from the road had a couple hills, washboard bumps up to 2' high, and rock gardens at the end. It was smooth throughout w/ the stock suspension. Didn't scrape at all underneath. But definitely gonna put a skid plate on next. I'm so glad I bought the Loyale! Its budget-offroading at its Best!

$150 EA Series Front and Rear Bumper (EDIT)
gokoolab replied to [HTi]Johnson's topic in Products for your Subaru
How do these mount onto wagon? Any welding necessary? Or straight bolt-on to the frame? Thanks -
Does adjusting throttle cable down really give u more power? Are u just adjusting idle? Will u idle at higher rpm now?

Jrd- thanks buddy soobenthusiast- thanks for the input bout ur tractor. I actually went to alignment shop today and they told me the same thing 91loyale says, if u keep the wheels flipped, your wheel bearings are gonna be trashed quickly. Im prollly gonna look for new set wheels n do it correctly -
