Summer of Smokey love starts now. A friend in NY had me panicked I wouldn’t be able to source a 26” kettle this week with the holiday kicking off grill season for most. I live in CA and grill year-round. My 22” had the leg drop out for the final time last weekend. Upgrade acquired.

Picked up a dead body, errr- I mean full interior carpet for the wagon. From greyhound shipping, useful tool.

Bumping this thread w the obligatory haul: groceries.

Screensaver acquired. Love me some wagon porn.

Gorgeous piece of work.

Maybe it’s “bought”.

Thanks for the prompt response to my PM.

^^Small biff, the spill considering you went to town on the suspension. Springs?

Just did sound deadening in all four door skins, and rear cargo spare well. It sounded muted inside the shop when he closed the doors. Since then very little perceptible difference in the field.

Went for a battery-charging cruise yesterday. All this bushing convo has me suspecting it’s a rear control arm in back needing replacement. Damn squeak is louder after adding sound deadening. My front lca’s were reported shot by a chain alignment shop a few months ago, no trust in their opinion/evaluation though. Been almost four years since my suspension revision so prolly due all ‘round. Oh joy. And while my battery karma is fine, it didn’t extend to wifey’s ‘20 foz touring. Totally dead last night, my jump box fully charged wouldn’t cut it. And yes, I woulda jumped it with my new batt if she wasn’t pulled in to a stall w folks on either side of her. So glad I don’t have the suite of electronic drains (power lift gate, keyless entry, etc.) on a modern mobile. 15 year old wagon ftw!

But does it rip thru the Webster tunnel like the Leggy? Still a standout memory from an amazing build. Glad to hear you’re motoring on.

Again, I know there is a new blue piece under there so better[emoji2369]. I'm sure I've used incorrect handling terminology throughout this post because I'm just a guy that likes to drive fast thru canyons Like the write-up from an intuitive driver’s perspective on each successive mod. And bc blue is better. Positive my Cusco radiator shroud and strut tower bar are good for +3 whp.

Should clarify “budget” mindedness a factor after dropping a bucket of cash into the interior. Bc enablers abound.

Maintenance day, rounding out my spring refresh. Swapped in a fresh battery, Bosch icon wipers up front, and gave her a mean wash n vacuum. My son is nine months today, def the cleanest the wagon’s been in his lifetime. Being a dad now, budget is everything. Shopped around for the new battery, debated Optima, Duralast/Diehard, and even Costco. Mentioned same last visit to dealer parts dept and rep said he’d give me wholesale on oem. Swung back by yesterday at closing time and got it on the house bc he’d already closed out his register. First time being a regular has paid off. Made my damn day.

Shockingly poor response from SOA to a former ambassador. Guess I got lucky on my recipient two years ago. Maybe I can dig up her contact info. And everyone on the forum(all twelve of us left) can deluge them w requests until they cave.

Just poured a bucket of cash into refreshing interior. For now it’s a pipe dream. Pun intended.

If you do indeed need a full trans, do all us AT owners a favor and pick this up on the east coast. https://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/2005-legacy-gt-5eat-w-hexmods-vb-285601.html Needs a good home. You may qualify.

Managed to get one quick crappy shot, group hunger didn’t allow time to back it in to get the shoreline behind me.

Is your DP one of the newer Cobb GESI catted ones? How long did ordering/shipping take, assuming purchased new? Contemplating some stupid decisions based on market rate for my catted dp and I know they’re mostly listed as backorder rn.

Took a drive yesterday. 130 mile exercise with my eight month old son, thirty some wifey, and visiting 75 y.o. mom to get a superb meal of bbq’d oysters on Tomales Bay. Mix of highway traffic, bridges, and winding road thru quaint CA towns and huge forests and then into coastal farmland and cattle pastures. Every once in a while, it’s nice owning a wagon that can fit bodies, baby gear, jam on the highway and still hug curves through the hills. I’ll get back to worrying about my leaking drivers cv boot, two to three wheel bearings, and SS brake line upgrade another day, yesterday was a beautiful day of ownership. Sidenote: swear my a/c blows colder with the jdm hvac panel.

Mean Ram, WhiteXC. Thoughts and prayers for the 09.

That damn Vader wagon, always pushing boundaries and keeping the rest of us on our toes. Looks sick af, haven’t seen it in person for a few years.

Greyhound GPX from depot to depot is very affordable, just used for a bulky item. Glws, this coulda shoulda woulda been mine.

Infosecdad, which Pioneer head unit did you go with? I am a week into driving with my AV 310-EX, not exactly crazy about it yet. Looks like yours also didn’t mount quite flush? Mine is recessed about the same.
