No mate, it isn't a Tourer. Just a Gx liberty. Or in your part of the world, A Legacy. LOL.

Yeah Mark.. your Legacy low roofs were never available here in Aus so the high roof model (Touring Wagon JDM & USDM) are just Liberty's to us :) We got them in a pov-pack LX model and a luxury (said very loooooooosely) GX model :)

What size tyres are you using? We lifted a liberty by two inch and trying to get the biggest tyres to fit.
Thx
you can run about a 28'' tyre but you need gen2 outback struts to do this!! also it is best if you are going to run that bigger rubber to convert to 4.11 ratio as 3.9 is i little tall. i am running 215/65/16 on mine which is 27''. search on here, vincentvega has covered it a few times.

bryan

p.s looking good rosco!!

If you want to get the rear wheels to sit back in the centre of the wheel arch Image
you can either change the lift kit blocks on the trailing arm mounts from two to three inch blocks, or fit some Gen1 Outback trailing arm mounts instead, the part numbers for the outback mounts are
20520AC030 --- RH
20520AC040 --- LH

Off the top of my head I think they are about a 100 bucks for the pair.

Cheers Grant

It does, doesn't it, that is what happens when you just do bolts up. Then get it back on its boots, and take a pic before looking and adjusting. LOL

Hey Mate, If you are willing to hang on to them for a little longer. He is very interested in them . His Mrs car just dropped reverse in the auto, so it needs to be fixed first.

Popped a seal in the auto , so out comes the box and replace the seal. That makes it 2 auto gear box's out of 3 auto cars that have had to have work done on them. It is a good learning experience . Learn learn learn..

The one the torque converter goes through. Or known as front gearbox seal.

Yeah, we are finding out. It has happened to all 3 auto liberty's so far. just got to two of them so far. At least once they done, we don't have to worry about them for awhile. Also it good practice.
