Subaru owners: Let's see your expedition rigs!

02 Impreza w/250km: Subtle 1" ft and 1-3/8 rr lift. GR2 struts. 205/75/15 AT2's. Rally Armor skid plate and flaps. Yakima roof rack/skybox and Thule T2 depending on the roadtrip. It goes where it's needed too here in the Purcells. It's been slept in at many a trail ultra/marathon mtn bike race.

it's an older pic but here you go...we initially had 2 sets of Railgrab feet on the factory roofrack but with the rear spoiler we couldn't get into the hatch with the box on, so I ended up getting a set of trad Yakima 'feet' to run everything closer to the front...a hatch without a spoiler could use the factory cross-rails, we bought the Subee second-hand and the price was right haha...

I really need to get some updated pictures. Here's my Foz at Sandblast Rally earlier this year:

I think I've got the same rack. How did you go about mounting the shovels to it? Any close-ups?

I used the Baja Rack kit. I have their Hi-Lift jack mount on the other side. I need to get some updated pics, so i'll get some close up shots of the kit then.

Found THIS when I did a quick search.

Still got that Mini?

Nope....the tuner never could get it running properly (turns out that's because the software couldn't handle the larger injectors but he wasn't honest enough to tell me that). Parted it out and got the STI; I sold my MINI and XJ and replaced it with the GRB. Should have kept the XJ, in hindsight.

I wold like to see someone lift a Mini and fit some AT tires.

like this? http://img1.fotoalbum.virgilio.it/v/www1-2/885/88548/277888/MiniCooperMiniMonsterTruck1-vi.jpg

Looks like you and your STI found some heavy clay!

that was up in Gettysburg, PA...heavy clay + chip gravel + thin Subaru paint + STI rear fenders = a MAJOR paint issue. :-)
 
Expo member Zolo just did a bunch of suspension work on my Foz. He fabricated some burly 2" trailing arm spacers to install along with a set of King raised springs, these are in addition to Subtile Solutions strut blocks that I've been running for a few years.

End result: 10" clearance at the sump. Whew, the beers are safe!

Took a little dirt road cruise at a WMA today, everything feels great.
