TheSubaruJunkie Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subie94 Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 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?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted May 22, 2006 Author Share Posted May 22, 2006 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A DOG Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 That hatch is gonna be sweet with a lift and tires, but then again all hatches are sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanky_pete Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 makes me want a lifted EA81 now:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachineAgeVictim Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 looks great, that basket looks good, can you open the rear hatch fine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted May 22, 2006 Author Share Posted May 22, 2006 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry DeMoss Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 That should look really nice tucked under your hatch.How much of a lift are you planning on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

operose Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88HatchMonster Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 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) Wow! 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
