you have done something about the captive nuts yes? otherwise they wont last long. loooks like this L is up for some punishing

ive got another suggestion - get some huge wheel flares, might help out with the cop bait situation.
looks the goods, now lets see it in your sig too.

DROOOOOLLLLLL...!!!!

That looks soooooo hot.... I hope you dont mind....I instantly saved all those pics to my Sube 'Drool File' on my PC...

I'd give anything to have one like it....great work!!

Do let us know how you go with the Cops and Rego etc.....

If only Subaru produced these from the Factory eh...!

I bet there would be HALF the number of Cruisers n Patrols on the streets!!! hehe

HOW much SWAY are you getting with that ride height...???
Does it feel unbalanced at all...????

Post by **Captain Obvious** » Tue Dec 11, 2007 4:43 pm

holy **** sticks that thing is huge!!!! looks awsome!
as subafury said the captive nut strengthen is a must, do it now while it is easy to do not after the floor has been ripped apart!!

lol to cutting up the grass on the footpath as well!!

cheers

Jeebus, I had to look twice at this, thought you were putting in a 18" lift!

Looks extremely sexy Fatz. This is the offset I would like on my Brumby, makes yours look Very Very Pugdog TOUGH!
Having said that, with that extra strain on the hubs from the wheels being spaced farther out from the original position, will this not precipitate into prematurely redundancy of your wheel bearings?

looks hell low man, sittin on the concrete, on its rails..... lol, anyway, that is a shame, u'll fix it though

Ok here is another small update.
Still have a little to do.
I fitted some flares a month or so ago. I used conveyor belt and some 2mm steel. I welded the steel to the body and then bolted the rubber to the steel.
Still have to mount scoop and do some reinforcements of the castor lift.
I also got a straight through exhaust fitted, but I'm not happy with the location so im going to get it re routed sometime soon.
Note: I'm not going to keep the current breathing setup, going to go to a dual snorkel setup.
Enjoy
