Mr Turbo - all that work and no pics?? SHAME ON YOU. I will say I give the Foz a good wax twice a year. Makes cleaning the mud off easier.

Well yesterday I ripped one of the rear rally armor mudflaps off. Whoops. Wondering if Rally Armor would replace the flap for free. If not and I've gotta buy 4 new ones, screw that I'm gonna take 'em off.
 
Booked the car in for more work,

* 4x KYB struts (Excell G's, originals fading fast)
* Whiteline 22mm blade adjustable front swaybar BSF33Z
* Whiteline heavy duty alloy front swaybar links KLC32
* Whiteline steering rack mount bushes KSR202/200
* Whiteline caster correction bushes KCA375
* Whiteline 22mm blade adjustable rear swaybar BSR35XZ
* Whiteline heavy duty rear swaybar mount kit KBR18-22

Oooooohhhhhhhhhh yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Drop off and pick up next week sometime...

Yes I agree, shame on me :redface:

I want to redo the lower parts on the doors again with another coat of wax & polish.
The front bar still needs a polish big time. Once I've done that, I'll take some pics with it all nice 'n' shiny. :biggrin:

Regards
Mr Turbo

Send them an email. I lost one front one up at Fraser in the sand. They made one and sent it out to me no problems. :ebiggrin: Not for Free though. :(

Washed the truck, then had the sudden urge to go four-wheeling on the way home. Then, when I went home, my fiance asked if we could go four-wheeling again (yes, my fiance is awesome like that, she asks me if we can go 'wheeling). So now the truck is covered in a fine layer of sand and dust, less than 12 hours after washing it.

I hate it when I do that... But I just can't help myself!

Me washing Ruby Scoo is usually an indication of rain apporaching in the next few days...

Went four-wheeling again. I've gone everyday that I've owned the truck

Thanks to those that just purchased one half of a pair of vehicle stickers.:yell::iconwink: And to Marlin Crawler for making an awesome clutch, but for NOT making a nice small sticker that would last more than two years.:poke:
 
Since I do NOTHING to my Outback these days, I'm just going to resort to saying what I do to the Explorer. Today, I removed the anti-sway bars.
