ezapar Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Everytime I turn around lately, I see another member with a lifted Soob. I'm very happy about that. I remember when I only knew of one in the USA. That was just over 4 years ago. If you would, please give a brief description of your (current) lifted Soob, list others you've owned or a link to their photos. Club affiliations please. Also include one photo of it. Thanks. I'll start. -------------------------------------------------------------------- *Member of the Hatch Patrol and Oregon Offroad Subaru Club and the West Coast Stompers. *I've owned 6 lifted Soobs prior to my current: *1986 GL Hatch back, PK 3inch lift, 4spd dual range, Weber 32/26, welded rear diff, rollbar, rear discs, "Desert Rat" custom wheels, 27/8.50/14 Superswamper SSRs, KYB shocks and struts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushbasher Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 as of yet I only 1/2 count... rear lift just needs one more brace welded in, and the t-case mounts are mocked up but not even tacked in yet. My sig says pretty much all of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawnW Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Cool thread idea Eric. In progress is my 83 TurboTraction/RX wagon. 3" Ozified, 14" pugs with street tires, 5 Speed 88 RX Trans. 3.70 gear ratio with matching LSD, disc brakes all 4 corners, and custom front axles. Picture is old and pre-lift. Its been in the garage far too long but im getting there. I bought the car not running. I have never driven it. I lifted it, did a trans swap, diff swap, column/key swap, full brake change, axle conversion, etc.....before EVER even hearing it run. Guts?

Flowmastered87GL Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 No club associations yet: Not lifted yet, but the PK 3/3 lift is in the garage boxed up ready to go on when I have a hand installing it and my 87 GL is out of the garage, but I will be lifting my 82 BRAT, bobbing it, and maybe experimenting with armoring the rockers a bit. They have rust on them now, but it will be fixed, ive thought about using angle iron of some size down there, havnt test fit anything though... just seems like it would help to keep the rockers nice and pretty (and give a stronger jack point on the body) Probably gonna have open diffs, and its going to be sold when its done even though it runs good.

Done lots of stereo mods It has a 1500watt amp with mtx 10" subs Pioneer 3 ways in back and 2 ways up front. Its a fun multi colored beast! Black hood maroon body beige fender blue rear hatch.
