I love Wagons! I don't know why more people don't...they are amazing for this sort of thing. Plus I have dogs. lol. Yeah. I drove this poor thing for almost a year with an ailing head gasket...then in the course of about 4 months I've swapped out the motor and lifted etc. and done all of this...

Yeah. Any more lift would be something way down the road. I was even fairly impressed with what this thing could drive over in stock form...so this much is great for now. I just need to get my snow tires mounted so I can get muddy soon...I haven't seen any snow in the hills here yet. Once I get...

Thank you for the welcome. It sounds like you have more experience with Subarus than I do...especially later model. I know far less about newer models. I know some about 2002-2005 WRXs but mostly because I plan to upgrade with parts from those. I'm definitely going to be doing some of those...

I'm really excited about this build...which is probably obvious...but I think particularly because it's going to be a perfect mix of on/off road for a daily driver and cheap to build. The two things I'm worried about are gearing and tire size. I'm basically maxed on tire size unless I get the...

Not much...didn't get my drums into the shop early enough,on Friday, to get them back the same day.

I use a Ram mounts X mount with suction cup, for my Samsung Note phone. I am running google maps with Pretty much the whole West coast downloaded onto my phone.

That is a great shot and great angle!

1984 GMC Vandura 2500 Starcraft Conversion. Before I daily drove it, it was the family vehicle and with 4 kids it had plenty of room. It was only 2wd but with some truck tires on the back and plenty of weight it made it's way up some steep dirt, and rocky roads in the foothills of the Blue...

Hi. I'm Rob. I'm from north/east Oregon area. I'm currently in the beginning/planning stages of what I would consider a mild overland build of a 1995 Subaru Legacy L AWD Wagon. I heard about this page from Youtube as I spend a lot of time there doing research. I don't really know anyone...

This article does a great job of explaining the head gasket situation. https://allwheeldriveauto.com/subaru-head-gasket-problems-explained/

I hope you find the info useful! I haven't been able to find much info on mods geared for overland on Subarus especially the 95-99 Legacys. Thankfully there is quite a bit on lifting Subarus and since many Subaru suspension and brake parts are swappable from '90-'05 it makes it much cheaper to...

Be careful with Late 90's foresters. I believe it was before 98 they used the first gen 2.5l that had serious head gasket issues. I researched it quite a while ago when I was still trying to figure out what model I wanted; but it's definitely something I would suggest researching before...

Yeah...I picked this one up for $650 thinking it was an amazing deal until I found out one of the head gaskets was failing. I was trying to find an AWD wagon with an OBDII 2.2l motor specifically to avoid that issue.

Seeing where stock ground clearance will get me. Apparently it got me some funny looks from a few guys in a lifted 2nd gen 4runner. Apparently cars don't make appearances here often.

Some adventures before mods. I have the warmest "tent" for a family camping trip

Before I did any offroad modifications...this had to hapoen as the original motor had bad head gaskets and cylinder wear problems from the head gasket leak.

That's pretty much my goal with this 2nd Gen Legacy. I love that I can get over 20mpg highway even loaded up...

Ground clearance at Oil pan and rear diff after lift and rims/tires. The exhaust is definitely the lowest point. This was after taller strut and rear 1/2" spacer install, but before new wheels and tires. Parked next to a Crosstrek for comparison.
