Many of you have seen the BattleWagon on other sites (SF.org, Srg), but I figured I'd post it here too, for those who haven't.
My primary goal with all of my mods is to make it a good car to take to college, and still have some fun. I originally wanted a Forester XT, but that didn't happen, so instead, I have this. While it lacks the approach/departure angles of the Foz, it makes up for it in road manners and build quality.
2000 Subaru Outback 2.5L 4EAT
I don't do any real heavy duty off-roading yet, as I'm waiting to get better tires when my performance all-seasons wear out. For now, I mostly just enjoy fire roads and sliding around in muddy fields. I hope to be able to do some 'real' wheeling some day. I also have a Chevy 4x4 pickup that is modded, that I use for work on our family farm.
Mods:
-RalliTEK HD Rear Overload Springs ~ 2" lift
-Subaru OEM H6 Outback front springs ~ 1" lift
-KYB GR-2 Shocks and Struts
-DIY hybrid cold air intake (Which I can make in to a snorkel if I ever get the balls to cut a hole in the fender :lol
-Borla Replica UEL header
-Custom Stainless 2.25" Magnaflow catback (non resonated)
-Axxis Ultimate Ceramic brake pads
-'04 Forester XT Shift knob (A/T)
-'07 Forester XT 6CD Changer
-Hella 500FF Driving Beams on a custom aluminum light bar
-Custom Diamondplate Aluminum front sump/header guard
-Thule crossbars with Swagman upright bike rack
...I'm sure I'm forgetting a few things, but those are the basics.
Future Mods (in order of what happens next)
-Subtle Solutions 1" front lift blocks
-215-65-16 Yokohama AT/S tires
A few pics... we've been lacking in the mud department here lately, so I decided to take advantage of the nice weather and give it bath.
