swcolegacyl Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) A buddy has a ’98 Outback and few years ago he put a new better stereo in his car but kept the OEM stereo. Yesterday he gave me the ’98 radio. The old one was a salvage yard replacement for the dead one that was in the car when I bought it. And none of the lights worked. So at night there was no clock/channel display or lit buttons. http://srvtelluride.dyndns.org/Subaru/radio1.jpg http://srvtelluride.dyndns.org/Subaru/radio2.jpg http://srvtelluride.dyndns.org/Subaru/radio3.jpg Edited January 21, 2013 by swcolegacyl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swcolegacyl Posted April 1, 2013 Author Share Posted April 1, 2013 (edited) Spent the weekend in Paradox Co.. There are old 4x4 mining exploration roads all over Paradox.

swcolegacyl Posted April 1, 2013 Author Share Posted April 1, 2013 Hi Kiyo1990, Yeah It was a great weekend. This area is covered with old abandoned uranium, copper, gold and silver mines. And it’s pretty remote wilderness, full of canyons and mesas and great old roads that go to nowhere. It’s a pretty amazing area to explore.

swcolegacyl Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 (edited) The rear tires were well worn and i had ripped the sidewall of one of the fronts. Oops. So it was time for 4 new summer tires: Firestone Winterforce M+S 205/70r15's. It's the biggest tire with the most aggressive tread i could find to fit. http://srvtelluride.dyndns.org/Subaru/Firestone1.jpg http://srvtelluride.dyndns.org/Subaru/Firestone2.jpg Edited May 2, 2013 by swcolegacyl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swcolegacyl Posted June 23, 2013 Author Share Posted June 23, 2013 (edited) Craigslist acquisitions for the Legacy: Outback Front seats Outback Rear sway bar Yakima Roof Rack And yesterday i picked up a Yakima BasketCase and fairing for $60.00 from Craigslist. Craigslist find: The guy was selling parts individually. http://srvtelluride.dyndns.org/Subaru/clrack.jpg Installed: The basket just happened to fit perfectly in between the bars. Giving it a nice lower profile. And instead of using the Yakima factory wing-nuts to secure it, I used a washer and double-hex nut with Loctite Red. It shouldn't move. http://srvtelluride.dyndns.org/Subaru/rack2.jpg http://srvtelluride.dyndns.org/Subaru/newrack1.jpg http://srvtelluride.dyndns.org/Subaru/newrack2.jpg http://srvtelluride.dyndns.org/Subaru/newrack3.jpg http://srvtelluride.dyndns.org/Subaru/rack3.jpg Edited June 25, 2013 by swcolegacyl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swcolegacyl Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) Hi All, Just bought a used rim from the salvage yard for ($50.00) and I had 1 remaining tire from last summer that was still in good condition. So now I have a decent spare tire. I was always a little worried about being far off-road and having to get back on the doughnut-spare. The new spare was the main reason for the Yakima Basket. The 205/70 R15s won't fit in the spare tire well. http://srvtelluride.dyndns.org/Subaru/sparetire1.jpg http://srvtelluride.dyndns.org/Subaru/sparetire2.jpg You can see i have also mounted the I-beam mast for the big jack. http://srvtelluride.dyndns.org/Subaru/sparetire3.jpg http://srvtelluride.dyndns.org/Subaru/sparetire4.jpg http://srvtelluride.dyndns.org/Subaru/sparetire5.jpg Original wheels and tires that came with the car: 185/70 R14 http://srvtelluride.dyndns.org/Subaru/origtire1.jpg And now i have a trunk. http://srvtelluride.dyndns.org/Subaru/inside2.jpg http://srvtelluride.dyndns.org/Subaru/inside1.jpg The Ride: http://srvtelluride.dyndns.org/Subaru/theride.jpg Edited June 30, 2013 by swcolegacyl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.U. Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 look really good, just curious but do they blink with your signals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swcolegacyl Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 (edited) Hi --thanks for the comment. Yes, they are wired to the blinker circuit on each side. EDIT> Just tested the side marker light full operation with the wires i used: > Side marker lights are ON with the running lights ON > And blink opposite the front blinker bulb with the turn signal and running lights ON > Side marker lights are OFF with the running lights OFF > And blink in sync with the front blinker bulb with the turn signal and running lights OFF by chance, it's the way i hoped they would work. But, I thought I'd have to use a double filament bulb to accomplish the same thing. Edited July 8, 2013 by swcolegacyl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swcolegacyl Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) Why is a lifted AWD Legacy a great mountain car? Because, in the middle of the summer we get: Sleet, freezing rain, flash floods and mud slides. Like we're getting today! http://srvtelluride.dyndns.org/Subaru/sleet.jpg Edited July 18, 2013 by swcolegacyl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andnyleswillriot Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I clicked into this thread already knowing you'd be a Coloradan haha I always wanted to do this to my old 97 sedan just to get up some jeep trails.

swcolegacyl Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) Hey –Thanks andnyleswillriot. Telluride is a pretty awesome place to live. This Subaru does great on the Jeep roads. Last summer I drove it to the top of Imogene Pass 13,114 feet, up a very rough road. And it did great. Go for it, have some fun with your Subaru!
