[SubaCool]

Last Friday we went on a trail run with the Frontrange4x4 club. It was basically our first time out with a group of real 4x4ers, and what a time it was! Right off the bat we've started climbing up some steep and very rocky terrain. There were concerns that the Subie wouldn't be able to keep up, but it amazed even me how "easy" it was. Don't take me wrong, it wasn't easy at all, but with a steady hand and a only few scratches, I've managed to climb that hill no problem. The trail was pretty mild for the most part, but there were at least 3-4 sections that were pretty tough. Anyways, without talking too much, here are some pictures I've managed to take:

That would be nice, but as you can see, I manage without it

Mr Turbo, yes, everybody (including me) was very surprised with the Subies capabilities (and my craziness :biggrin!

It's allways a good feeling when the big boys say you won't get very far in a Subaru and you prove them wrong

Kudos to Kubo!!! Awesome, however I think it's time you invested in at least the Subtle 1" lift. Great report, pics, and video.

You showed em whats up!!!

1" would be a waste of money for us 2" at least, but I'm still not able to justify the need for it :iconwink:

2" would certainly be better, I must say that you are certainly doing fine without it.:ebiggrin: Either way, just keep up the trips and the awesome trip reports!!!

King springs will give you an additional 1" at rear, slightly less, 0.6", in front, which means will reduce the 'nose up' attitude of the standard suspension. Dimensions in my post #8 in the definitive lift thread https://www.offroadsubarus.com/showthread.php?t=1659.
