prodriver1's 99' outback limited uber offroadaru lives on!

[prodriver1]

the new ride very excited to have another outback. this will be the 3rd one for me and the first white subaru. I was going to keep it stock for the wife and kids but they voted with me to mod the crap out of it (well sort of anyway). I got the car for a monkey ($500) from a lovely lady who thought it didn't work but a new battery and a push of the security override solved that. also some d-bag broke the rear window with a bb gun so that was an expensive proposition. So I traded a ford truck for a legacy parts car and had cheep glass and a tone of extra stuff the most handy of which was the snaps and screws that hold the trim together, now the interior is almost perfect. Also parted my rust free 98' legacy GT for this build.

the time has come, I am going down south to get a rust free outback and I'm starting over, this MN car is just too rust to keep going and I just can't go without an outback in my life, I have spent the last 2 months trying to find a new car, I'm getting older now and its time for a new ride, the offroadaru has many issues now. I talked to my bank and they cleared me for a lot more $ than I ever thought i could get so I thought to myself STi time or that volvo V70R 6spd I have always wanted or a nice cozy legacy spec-B, but the huge reliability factor of my trusty old outback just cant be ignored, I have had many outbacks in my life and they have all served me without fail even when they fail. I have had many number of things go wrong or break in my subarus but they always make it home, "no crank pully, belts, or oil? no problem, I'll get you home" ohh trusty subaru... so I am getting the best rust free low miles example I can find and going even crazier with it

Can't wait to see what's the next car. I always tell my friends and relatives to buy subaru since I have massive backup parts lol

[prodriver1]

heres the new ride, much better in every way.

I couldn't say goodbye, the offroadaru lives on! I have completely removed the swaybars, wheel well liners, bumpers, A/C system, and part of the intake that runs through the fender and made a snorkel that goes up the A pillar, then the front fenders got rolled up and pulled out to look like a rally truck, I'll be fabbing skid plates soon, the rear wheel arch has gotten the trim and rubber removed and pounded up to make more room, I'm getting wheel spacers and getting bigger tyres than the 27" already on there. the only thing that will cost $ are the tyres so this will be fun! forgive the no pics yet but i am exhausted after swapping 2 engines and a multitude of other parts between 2 subarus all by myself in 1 day and 3 afternoons. cheers.

so here it is in its new form, I love it its so bad ass! and yes I have the bumpers and yes they are for sale.

[Huffer]

Holy crap dude.

[prodriver1]

its so much more fun to drive without swaybars, it just crawls up shit so easily now.

Holy crap dude.

what do you think papa?

[prodriver1]

pops and crackles, sounds even better when its on the road, deceleration is the best, pop pop BANG pop.

[LeggyxPower]

Reminds me of my old EJ22E would pop like no tomorrow. My favourite is sometimes when I would shift it would pop in between the gears.

Just a wee bit rich eh? Your tire low or do you just run it that low for offroading?

[prodriver1]

it has been sitting for a long time, I currently have 4 working cars and never use them, I live in a small town and just walk everywhere, my wife uses her volvo but refuses to exercise my cars lol so they just sit there, this one has been undriven for almost a year unfortunately, I use my black outback for trips, this one is all offroady and thats not very nice for hwy driving long distance and thats all I do other than walk, the grocery store is 1.5 hours away so we take the super cozy and luxurious volvo or if i'm going by myself I take my other outback that is much more civilized on the road as its stock with rallitech swaybars. I do run lower tyre pressure offroading but not that much, I dont have beadlocks so that would be too low. I have a K&N filter and fill straight through exhaust (no channels in the muffler plus 2.25" piping, borla rep's and 2 glass packs) so I spaced the O2 bung to make it run richer, better than it going lean due to the mods and blowing my engine.
