May 22, 200619 yr I took of from here Saturday night to go meet Jibs in Reno. Plan was to dissasemble the wagon, and start alittle work on the hatch. Didnt plan on doing much wheelin, but when I got there we found this set of trails, that just happend to lead to his place. So we took a detour and broke the hatch in. Sunday morning we woke up around 8am and started tearing into the wagon. Jeremy (Subieman) showed up and by noon we pretty much had the wagon stripped down to nothing. Dave (NV Zeno) showed up and we decided to head out and grab some lunch. After lunch, it was still pretty early, so we headed off to some local hills and played around for about an hour. The ground is pretty much decomposed granite, and alot of it. Very easy to loose traction and dig yourself a hole. Going up the hills were almost impossible, but it was fun going down. We ended up following the trails for a little, but seemed every trail lead to an impossible hill climb, or a dead end. Still alot of fun, and plenty more trails out there to play on. -Brian
May 22, 200619 yr Yup, good time. Here are a few more pictures of our wheelin... http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showgallery.php?cat=853 3 pages worth. ~Jeremy
May 22, 200619 yr Author One more pic I forgot to add. This is me and Dave Next trip we definatly need to bring a camcorder... jibs :-p -Brian
May 22, 200619 yr now that looks like a fun place to play at... looks like jibs has a great view from the backyard....(that was his yard you guys were at,with your wagon on its side?)
May 22, 200619 yr Author Yeah he has some prime property. That little bit of area is probably.... 1/20th of the land he has. And it borders the hillside, trails right out his backyard practicly. The hills we were at are probably 5miles away from his pad. -Brian

May 22, 200619 yr awesome pictures . i love that kind of landscape (desert). someday i will have to make a trip down there and go wheelin with you guys. the hatch is looking good too.
May 22, 200619 yr Oh come on now, quit tempting me into Driving down there in my GL instead of my Legacy. Well, that's if I do make the trip.
May 22, 200619 yr Nice pictures.Some of those scenery shots look alot like certain parts of colorado.
May 22, 200619 yr That hatch is gonna be sweet with a lift and tires, but then again all hatches are sweet!
May 22, 200619 yr That definitely looks like some fun terrain. I love the color of that hatch, it reminds me of the San Remo Red that my '04 WRX was.
May 22, 200619 yr Author Yup, had the hatch open when i installed the rack... just to be sure it wouldnt interfere with anything. I think I may have found my tires. TireRack sais they have the Kumho venture in stock, 27x8.5R14 Im gonna order 4 of em, then here in a couple weeks I should be ready for the lift. -Brian
May 22, 200619 yr That should look really nice tucked under your hatch.How much of a lift are you planning on?
May 23, 200619 yr Got a BYB 3/3 lift chillin in the back of the hatch just waiting. -Brian That is the one I want for my hatch as well!Nice:)
May 23, 200619 yr I found a hatch just like this (not as nice ) when I brought my friend to work today... going to try and buy it on thursday (exciting for me as it's the second hatch I've ever seen here and the first was in a junkyard)

BUY IT! Even if it looks rusted to hell... The rockers, doors, wheel arches etc. were gone from rust on my '88, but the frame rails and suspension points were still solid as a rock. If the hatch you're looking at is the same way it could still be one heck of a fun wheeler!
