everyone should check out http://www.offroadsubarus.com/

for more pics of outfitted subies...

Superu - your's is one of of the slickest, most functional jobs I've ever seen! Keep it up, you're encouraging lowly stock subie drivers like me to start having some fun!

BTW - Love your bc.com mtn goat avatar! I just got the little sticker put back on my newly tinted window, looks great against the black background. If you want, I have a 12" decal they sent me awhile ago, I'm not going to use it, I'll happily send it your way if you need more decorations...pm me if so

Does the Subaru have differential breathers you can extend?
Yes.

-Front diff breather (on the automatic equiped subaru) is the filler tube that holds the dipstick.
-Rear Diff Breather is on the top of the diff housing. It is a press in plastic fitting (not threaded in like Toyotas and Nissans). You can stuff a plastic hose into the hole, and route the hose up into the rear vehicle interior. If you ever have the diff removed, you could tap the hole and install an elbow fitting with a hose barb
-Auto Trans Breather is on the upper part of the housing, underneath the air filter (at least on my Forester)

Cool rig!

The latest phase of the Superu's transformation is complete. Safari Snorkel for a Prado 120 Series. Not an easy fit, but it's all good now!

Very cool and unique vehicle. I like it.
Cheers,

Wow - I missed this thread the first time through. As a previous owner of Subby wagon, hats off to ya. Great lookin car, and very well equipped.

What about underbody protection? Do they make skid plates for those cars, or have you had any made?

One skidplate on, one on the way

I have an aluminum front skidplate from Primitive Racing and a prototype rear on the way from the same place. Paul Ecklund has been a great help to the Outback crowd when many people are only providing equipment to the Impreza / Forester crowd!

Hey Superu,

Could you provide more details on what it took to mount the snorkel? Pics of how you hooked it up to the intake, etc. Thanks!

Took a bit of cutting and welding.

I've done a lot of work on my Subie myself, but the snorkel install I farmed out to the 4x4 Center in So. Burlington, VT.

It turned out to be more involved than we expected, but the results were great.

Here's a shot of the under hood connections. We ended up using a custom cut connector to tie the snorkel into the MAF and then into the TB.
