06 WRX Wagon on FXT [Azusa OHV Mudpit]

ansonowicz · 12-01-2010, 10:30 AM

Azusa OHV Mud Pit last year.

A rock hidden under the mud damaged my subframe, oil pan, tranmission crossmember (made shifting extremely difficult because of shift assembly was lodged), Catalytic converter, and downpipe. Definitely need more/thicker underbody protection.

Was it worth it? Absolutely! Seeing the boggers stop in their tracks to see a little subaru hauling a$$ through the mud was priceless.

Yo!!! Thanks man...

I'm so torn between street and off-road setup. Ideally, I need some sedan axles and rear adjustable lateral links to keep things tidy on the drivetrain. I've busted 3 sets of CV boots within a year on the FXT and General grabber setup :(

Back to street for now before I break more stuff.

Living in a not so nice part of Long Beach, my garage has been broken into several times (broke combination lock, broke garage latch, a former neighbor actually cut a hole in the drywall!!)...a ton of my scrap metal and tools were stolen, including my nice skid plate. I removed it just a few days prior to change my oil and find better fasteners for the skid :(

Wow that is some crap. I don't think I could handle living there man.

Sucks you got all your stuff stolen. I can't believe your neighbor actually cut a hole in your drywall! Did he honestly think he wouldn't get caught>???
