lucky 578 Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 well the subaru is almost ready for some serious lamping sessions, i've put outback suspension on, the brake lights on a seperate switch the reverse light bulbs have been removed, front spotlights have been fitted and wired to a seperate switch, rally style sump/exhaust guard fitted (4ft x 2.5 ft), back windows tinted out, colway c trax a/t tyres (205 70 r15), 2 lamp connection points fitted and theres 3 chains fitted in the boot to stop the dogs from causing havoc, it has just over 9" of ground clearance, (more than most landrovers) and still holds the road better than any of the 4x4's, just the bull bar to fit now, then the fun begin's....

Strong Stuff 2,171 Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Just needs a wash and polish now and it's ready to go So if someone was looking for a Legacy, would they be better getting the Outback? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tarmac 1 Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Sounds like you've got the perfect motor for your job, How much have you spent on the motor to get it like that so far? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lucky 578 Posted August 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Lucky, its nearly touching the deck.... nice setup for the stubble... 9" off the deck at the lowest point (the back diff), measure your landrover ian and see what the clearance is, very similar i think...
