what wheels are you now using?

i've recently moved to the dark side also. i've still go my brumby and my 04 forester but my 99 forester was written off. so i now have a 08 suzuki jimny - love it by the way

this is one seriously cool product that i never knew subaru made

yep really the 4sp dont have a good reputation but once the slop is fixed i like the 4sp

it amazing how good the 4sp shifts once the oil is changed

$2,500 is a very fair price if the brumby is as clean as the photo

$1200 is a good price for a standard clutch install

As far a I know you will have to go genuine if you want self levelling struts. Otherwise after market will be just as sufficient and doesn't require and other mods to change from self levelling struts.

you will get away with just replacing both rear, as usually if one is stuffed the other isnt too far off!

as for brands KYB is the most popular with people on the forum.
ive used monroe shocks which are good also

ive tried ultima and know a few people who have, they handel well and have lasted just as long as other brands ive used.
they are a direct copy of the monroe shocks so for the price they are good

wow thats high now! need some tyres to fill out the guards

looking great for a 30yr old vehicle!

hi guys im selling my 16' forester wheels as ive gone back to my 15's heres ther ebay link:

i have to agree with boostings. for long term use off road the strength, reliability and performance will out perform the brumby

the worse is trying to order a pot of beer in different states

all depends on what you want to do with the 4by.
if tough and durability is your game then they don't come much tougher than a 60 series.
BUT for the occasional 4by and a more comfy ride go the brumby

my 2c

ive used armor all, its helped a little but not a lot. try and keep it out the sun i think thats what kills it

I have ordered some parts for my forester. the first one being some shocks! they will be going in a few weeks. LED lights for the interior also. new +100 lights after having good results with my 04 forester. a new bearing for my AC adjuster pulley as the squick has been driving me nuts! ;) I am also...

I was looking the other day and I don't think the front sg struts fit the sf bacuase were the fuel line attaches is very different. Would have to make a little bracket if you wanted them all neat

i was careful with the river crossing it wasn't too high but if it was any higher i would not of crossed. it was about level with the top of my front bumper
