I can just see this front end crashing through the wilderness of Alaska - NOT! It might make it through the first 2 mudpubbles, but it would never make it past the mudholes and rock-strewn trails I've been on. Bad idea.

Call Dave MIller's Subaru in Eagle River and explain your situation to him, or better yet, go visit him and see his set up. You will have some ideas for your own shop in the future. He'll help you out if he can.

great idea. But, Kelly, if you can come up with the design, I can get the stickers printed locally - cheap.

I just run Penziol and change it every 3k religiously.

You play, you pay. Doesn't sound too bad. I once drove (by accident) into the median here(in AK) in winter and once in hit 4wd on the fly, hammered down and drove the mediam for a quarter mile before muscling out on the road again, and I never lost my place in traffic.

Buy a good set of ski goggles and stick your head out of the window while driving.

If it's Fairbanks, say NO. No way.

My cousins Vito and Guido are available to take a road trip if you need a favor, Paul.

Too far away? I flew to Portland and drive mine back up the Alcan - 2,400 miles. No where is too far to drive for a good Brat.

Those look sharp, and it's good to know you're feeding a board member instead of SOA.

Got the name of the town you're looking at? And the name of the company she'd be working for? The politics here are crazy and some weird things may happen soon. Could give you some insight.

If you're going to visit, don't come in the summer. You'll fall in love wih the place and not even consider the winter. If you come in the winter, come prepared to enjoy the out-of-doors. If you don't enjoy winter sports (skiing, sledding, snowmobiling, x/c skiing, icefishing, hunting, trapping, snowshoing, dogsledding,...) winter is an unbearable time.

Brian, keep going. We love to hear ideas like that as it keeps out the riff-raff and tourists. Bard, PM me and I'll go into specifics with you about opportunities and standard of living. There are a ton of old subbies, but they are all (almost) rusty. Nevertheless, there are a bunch of them and more places to off-raod than anywhere else in America.

A bit more description on what is prohibiting the shift would be helpful. Is it a resistance to go in caused by a bind in the shifting forks? Is the linkage loose and sloppy? Some moredetail would be helpful.

Maybe a loose belt?

P.K. Are you coming out with 4"lifts for Legacies soon?

On my trip up the Alcan, I kept my 83 Brat at a constant 55 mph. Time stunk, but I loved the 30+mpg I got through Canada. Around here, the 65+mph drops it down to mid to low 20's. FWIW.

SCORE!

Hey, it looks better than anything I could put together. I'm artistically retarded (oops, make that challenged).

Is it more like a horseshoe which curves to the outside at the ends? If so, it is as Soup says - the retainer clip for the windor crank. See if the handle pulls off.

The good doctor is certainly a font of knowledge. Hat's off Dr.

someone should compile the key ideas in this and do a write up on exhaust modifications and put it in archives. Miles are you up for this? You seem to do a pretty good job with these things.

Congratulations.

That is sswwweeeeeettt.

Glad you made it O.K., but I beg to differ with you on the traffic issue. We have a mini-Indy 500 everyday with the 50,000+ commuters who drive to Anchorage daily. It's more likely that we are geared up for the conditions and "most" drivers here learn to slow down in bad weather. It's usually the drivers with a southern accent who end up in the ditch. Not picking on any regional peoples, just pointing out that if you spend a lot of time driving in snow and ice, you learn that it is more time efficient to drive slowly than to wait for a wrecker in the ditch.
