  1. word! just sayin' keep in touch -mark-
  2. Drop me a note if you come through Moab too, of coarse!
  3. Thanks, me too! When I was opening the box my 3-yr old Theo asked, "Is that super-duper awesome?" Yes Theo, yes it is!!!
  4. mo recent than the last one (imbedded some pages back) this is my "FB, toughguy, self portroit" mockery
  5. bumpin' da awesome to share the new capabilities of the Legacy, Ooh and some more ooo's and aaaahh's! http://dirtyimpreza.com/forums/showt...093#post356093
  6. I always love your work Keith , but I also always wonder what your cars end up weighing (actually i know you don't really put that much steel on, but referencing/comparing to my bumper and skid (135#) I just wonder :cool:
  7. I found your youtube video!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=yd07q5Xxx3g#!
  8. BAHHAHAHAH Yeah, those things are connected with "W I R E S" Its from the days you might call "A N A L O G U E"
  9. Comin' along nicely tom!! I know this is an older post, but I just had to respond.....since I live in Moab here are a few clips in chronological order. . . and with my new (to me) UADM dual range 5MT that's enough teaser-ing for now, sorry for distraction, but try and make a trip down here and we'll go wheeling (you've chatted with my buddy with the black FJ80 on other forums)
  10. Hmmm, There's stuff to be said about making the weak links tougher (other than you just break more expensive stuff And but the female diff loses the RX CLSD option
  11. Well, they ARE cars LOL I thought I saw some custom U-joint half shaft on a Suby build somewhere. That seems like a way to beef up the half shaft weak link
  12. This is a daily driver and primary kid-hauler, so daily driving characteristics over-ride ultimate wheeling capability (e.g. welded rear or daily FWD) but yup, I thought about the DR 4x4 swap for years; skipping the detailed stories and justifications why I never did it, I just love FT AWD too much I'd rather limp home once every few years and drive AWD every day than drive FWD except when really wheeling. all that said, reallyreally locked, you're right that there is NO substitute for a locked center in wheeling, and it's true that new gen ain't got nuthin' on old gen dual ranges (except the EJ22
  13. I just compiled this thread over the past hour+ (while my 10 month old was napping) so sorry to redirect and be short by not retyping or copy-pasting here in a unique report, and I know you all deserve that respect BUT I'm just going to tack the link in here. http://dirtyimpreza.com/forums/showthread.php?p=356093#post356093 Long story short I wheeled my (well and tastefully modified) 95 legacy with two 4" lifted FJ80s and a 3" lifted FJ cruiser, tackling Lockhart Basin ( north to south) IN A DAY!! Enjoy!!
  14. thanks JesZek!! It's pretty fun, check out some other videos on youtube, the clearance at 50MPH videos demonstrate the exhaust note pretty well I think
  15. congrats on picking up this hatch!! It's a sweet rig!
  16. Whoa! Had no idea you were selling it G!! Thanks for keeping the thread alive and sweet additions subaruman5! That's a good rig. I have old footage from the hatch's first 'clean' run of firebreak 5!
  17. AUDM 98 Forester DR FT AWD 5MT swap (4.11 axle ratio 1.44:1 lo range) rev comparisons of lo and hi ranges
  18. So what's the center diff lock mod?!! I don't think you said if its a 4EAT with to solinoid mod, or if its a stick made to lock the center diff... AND I ain't going to RE-read all the pages and pages of awesome. . . please do tell
  19. I hope it's pretty cool!! YES, you're info was the inspiration!!
  20. A step climbing out of the technical canyon on lockhart basin trail in Moab. I'm still editing a youtube video but here's a little sneak-peak clip of our mostly successful run up lockhart basin trail (in Moab) a few weeks ago. I say "mostly" b/c while I pulled the technical canyon (with 2 tugs, but otherwise clean) , I blew a weak half shaft :cool:on top then compression popped a tire and had to be flat towed the remaining many many miles
  21. Video comparing RPMs and speed through all the gears in lo and hi range
