Running a bit late, the kids delayed me a bit.

I'll be there, and I'm kinda hoping that it's raining because I love geology. I may or may not have my chaos goblins with me.

It mounts up in the little coin tray in the fuse box door in the dash. It's a really clever design, even if it's too narrow for our generation outback.

That sounds badass! I love that it came around full circle!

Here is the USB and audio in on the driver's dash panel. My luddite sound system. And a combo USB audio in port on the dash. I'm going to relocate it into my next iteration of the dash panel, and use the hole as a pass-through for my indoor/outdoor thermometer and 24-hour clock in a cheap...

Alright, for one switch panel, I'm using this guy from Etsy. I had to trim it down on the sides with a Dremel to make it fit, but it will run my ditch lights and spots.

Nice! I'd love to have an older square-body 'Burb with the drop-down tailgate and roll-down rear window. My childhood best friend who got me into Scouting and arguably ended up shaping my whole life, his dad had a badass old Suburban. I'd love to have that look and the solid axles, but with...

Yeah, I'll go get a few shots in a little bit. Most of the work is half-done or done "enough" so I can get to work the next day or get the girls to swim lessons later in the day. I hate it, but it's life right now.

-I did new front bearings. Twice. -Replaced one axle that I blew up. -Upgraded the front brakes with slotted and drilled rotors and new parts store calipers and pads - new TREs - Modded the headlamps with LED projector pods and integrated fogs - A homebrew luddite sound system - Interior...

Since moving on from my beloved Toyota T-100 pickup, I've been slowly building up a 2004 BH Outback as the ultimate exploration dadwagon. He arrived with the name "Simon the Squeaking Subaru" and it's staying. I won't go into detail, but I've upgraded the brakes, suspension, lighting, tires and...

Thank you! It'll be slow going, this build, but I'm excited to share wherever this goes. I'm definitely enjoying the fact that Simon has good manners on and off-road and I'm kinda mad at myself for sleeping on Outbacks for so long.

Funny you should mention that, I'm developing a character for D&D who is a Paladin with great Paladin skills and traits; but he wants to be a rogue so he has to use roguelike skills and tools, and he's really bad at them. Just waiting for that inevitable conversation: "you should just slay the...

Damn those tin worms! I love Firefly. It's always nice to bump into someone in the wild with exquisite taste.

Funny enough, I actually met him when I was like ten. He used to own a little ranchette up in NorCal by my grandparents' house. I bumped into him at an airshow. He was just some random dude flying an RC airplane on the outskirts of the airfield. Pretty surreal.

That's a bummer that your Legacy was a lemon even after all of that work! My old Toyota RN38 was a lot like that: I just kept playing Whack-a-Mole with age-related problems: First the t-case blew, then the transmission blew, then the timing chain jumped two teeth, then I did a total overhaul and...

I had my first chance to properly shake Simon down. I took our pitty to the Mendocino National Forest and had a blast. My biggest takeaway is that even though he's on a 1" spacer lift with 1/4" coil lift and about an inch of additional clearance from the larger A/Ts, I still need more lift. I...

They do raise the COG higher and make rigs more topheavy, and they do increase the amount of unsprung weight at the axle, so you end up with a higher pototential for a roll and a rougher ride and slower response time to terrain changes.

My thoughts on portals: I want them. On my Subaru. Right now.

Looking forward to the update!

I'll never not be jealous that you folks outside of North America got the cool Subi diesel engines and dual-range transmissions. What a cool rig to start off with!
