Heya all, got the car on the road then had to do a clutch, and decided to do the rear struts finally. Turned into quite the adventure. The 2 forward strut bolts snapped, so had to drill them out. Here's a pic of a near-perfect drilled out grade 8 bolt.

P.S. Genshammer, thx for the tip, I'll do that.

bratman86, check online with Lithia Subaru in Oregon City, Oregon; they have been able to get me parts that every other dealer said were no longer available.

Yes, got new struts in the front, breaks and lift blocks thanks to a good friend of mine who did most of the work (I'm too weak most of the time these days)but soon I should be driving it! Ans to answer some previous Q's it's got on-road tires that I trade out for the ATV tires when I go 'wheel'n

Hahaha, God I love it! Kickass man. I got an old 85 4Runner rockcrawler. Saw a few trailworthy Subies at the Rubicon one time, made me jealous! Just for kicks, you should enter that beast in this contest - www.texacocarofthedecades.com - such a cool and unique ride. Have fun with it man!
