I have turned up bushings out of it for various tools and what not, and they are holding up very well. Ano...

i second what matt has said. That redarc product will sort out all your issues. I have them in my L's. Never ever had a drama running a fridge, or even power tools!!! And never had a flat battery.

Well worth the coin. I picked up mine off Ebay new for $90.00

I did have to move the front passengers seat forward a couple of notches though. That was a 2.7 meter board. I think you will be pleasantly surprised, unless ...

Nope, they wont fit. In fact, I encountered this exact same issue when i tried to buy these exact same hubs from L-Raiser years ago!!! Thats why I didnt go through with the sale. They will fit a Front wheel drive (2WD) no problem. However, for a 4WD L or Brumby, you will need a new hub. I went to Ma...

what about the piston return springs, and cross drilled brake lines.

amazing upgrades you can do.

why not install a muffler bearing while you are at it.

and dont forget to fill the fuel tank with unobtainium. - works a treat.

the general trend i have found out there, is to stay away from outbacks with the 2.5, or allow for a head gasket job at some point. once repaired with the right gasket, then there isnt any further problems. the 2.2 on the other hand, are considered virtually bullet proof. i have been led to believe ...
