Yep, I have 3 Subies....the 2 wagons and a sedan.

Ones a rockcrawler, the other a prerunner, and the last one a rally car. lmao

Got the motor apart...what an oily mess. Bottom end seems fine. I'm just doing headgaskets and whatever associated gaskets to get it back together. Probably a new water pump, and I think it needs a power steering pump. And a metric ton of brakekleen.

Almost forgot I found a pair of Hella 500's I've had lying around for like 10 years. Then my buddy gives me another one he had lying around. So 3 Hella 500's for pretty much nothing!!!!

She is lifted

I have not put it back on the ground yet, its still up on the lift. I need to finish lengthening the steering linkage as well as the shift/4wd linkage. I went with 5'' up front and 4'' out back hoping to level her out. I did my worst....this is 100% tractor fab, not quite crappy fab as it is funtional but definetly tractor fab.

Pics as soon as I find my cameras battery charger.

Next time we do some wheeling I will hook you up with another 500 if you want.

99.9% identical, even using a momo adapter (free too)

Heads are at the machine shop getting cleaned and resurfaced. Hoping to order gaskets soon.

Awesome drop down kit!

Whats the low range ratio on those?

Just installed the ol' Lincoln Locker.....er Miller Locker. Whatever, rear diff is welded. See how much abuse she can take.

I call shotgun for the test run! haha

lol I cant wait to see this thing in action

Might have this bitch in Cal City this weekend. If all goes well. I will however have to trailer it cause I don't have time to get it reg'd and smogged.

Well car did'nt make it to the dez, but it is finally running and on all fours. Hubs are back off though to get drilled and spot faced for the 6-lug conversion. Ill get some pics up soon and hopefully head over to a smog shop soon.

Shit is legit. Got her smogged (230k on the clock and passed) and registered. Funny shit pulling up to the DMV for the out of state vehicle verification squealing the rear tires due to the welded rear diff.

Might go to Wildomar OHV this weekend. Its only 20 min from me, so it should be a good little test.

Pictures or it didnt happen

Its at the top of the Ortega Hwy. Really, really small OHV area if you have a green sticker or plates.

Yes really, really small OHV area. I could take my other Suby through there is about 20 min.

Yeah I want so see some pics of this thing with it's new "lift"

Just a little lift




Not to mention the 6 lug conversion with Yota 4-Runner wheels




Went for a little lunch today and tried out 4-low....not to bad. Definetly an improvement over the standard all-wheel-drives. I really need to build a front bumper and skid assembly asap cause now the oil filter/oil pressure sensor/oil pump are the first things to get taken out up front.

LOL, thats fucking outstanding!


Nice exhuast..........

That is fucking awsome, I cant wait to see some action shots or videos.

Man Wildomar got pretty damn rough since I was last there. Definetly wouldn't have taken the WRX through this stuff this time.

Fricken 4-low in a car is so badass and works damn well. I'll be ready for some more trails as soon as I get a spare tire and build a skid plate for oil pan.

Pics













View from the top





Going back down





Fun for the whole family



Little scary here











The End

full skids, winch bumper, rock sliders and you are ready to go! that is great

That thing has more flex then my truck. Nice build forsure.

Threw together this skid plate/cradle last saturday.

Ah man that's awesome....

I love the family fun pic haha. Looks like a blast and keep us posted

badass ride, I bet you get some crazy looks o the trails.

Well I finally broke something....sheared a rear axle. Good thing the rear end is welded cause I was still able to get out of a little wash. But prior to breaking the axle I was stuck in a ditch for over an hour til I was pulled out. My buddy has pics on his camera, Ill get them tomorrow.

Thats RAD!

Carnage is cool......... When it happens to someone else......
