Scott in Bellingham Posted January 1, 2009 Author Share Posted January 1, 2009 Last trip out broke a stub axle on a large concrete obstacle I made a splined ring to aid getting the stub out of the doner diff, I cut the splined hole off a junk axle cup then held it with a pipe wrench worked good, then used a 8 mm 6 point socket to get the funny bolt off, wrong tool all I had ,the correct tool is a E10 torx Socket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one eye Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 3 years as a wheeler and still going. Just shows that if you fix all the things that break, and have a good upkeep on them they will last. Crazy thing is there are very little dents in it............. I think I have gone on 98.453% of the trips this car has gone on. It has served it purpose very well, We can only hope to see it for the next 3 years...........or more!!!!!!!!!! Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubesoob Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Looks like a great rig that shows what these cars are capable of. You definatly have gone a good job of turning it into a vehicle that will get you and your family anywhere you want to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamCF Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Good evolution of a wheeler Soob. Mines on 2 years now. As much as I want to move up the wheeler foodchain. I think I'm gonna try to make it go for many more. I look at picking up a different rig but can't help but think of all the awesome times I've had in it.

[HTi]Johnson Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 ....I look at picking up a different rig but can't help but think of all the awesome times I've had in it. Exactly. I love the looks on people's faces when they see, what they think is, a station wagon mobbin' down trails or across the sand dunes. Yes, you could go the route of a Toyota or something that was more meant to be offroaded, it may be fun. But not as much of a challenge. They have a bigger aftermarket support than our old Subarus do, so it makes modding your Subaru more a personal thing since you usually have to make the pieces yourself. The sense of accomplishment must be higher with a Subaru. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
