jojotherider Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 does anyone know if the Subaru Hitch for 2006-2009 outback will fit on a 2005 outback? There's two different part numbers. I'm feeling like it will be ok since TRS is able to get it on his 05 sedan. just want to confirm. -joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightspeed98 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 When I was at stock height, I busted 3-4 decorative end caps I put on. When it was lowered, I put on a small one with a golf ball on the end. Can't tell you how many times I whacked that golf ball off!! Hitch is off now, ready for sale. mine is as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Internet Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Has anyone ever modified or made a custom hitch to come through the rear bumper? I'm going to try it but it would be nice not to reinvent the wheel. 05'lgt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leggtnut Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 I saw a video a long time ago of someone in Australia doing just that with a hitch. I wasn't able to find it again.

I'm going to try it but it would be nice not to reinvent the wheel. 05'lgt You are not alone. I've been thinking about getting a Class III and taking it to my favorite machine shop for a little "modification". I'm running a slightly lowered LGT wagon. The hidden hitch with the 2" bung in the video hangs below the exhaust tips?! If I bolted that up to my car it would hit the ground with every ripple in the road, so through the bumper (at least the lower part) is the only option for me. Here's the Aussie thread. Sucks that we can't get something like this in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobydoobie Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Anyone running the OEM subaru hitch P/N: L101SAG000 on a sedan? Seems most people run the L101SAG100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ur a bus Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Anyone running the OEM subaru hitch P/N: L101SAG000 on a sedan? Seems most people run the L101SAG100 I would have to look at my receipt. That is the number I have in my notes, so that is probably what I asked the dealer for. What is the difference I wonder? -- Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
str8dwn Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Can anyone confirm the size opening for the OEM L101SAG100 hitch? Is it 2: or 1 1/4"? I can;t seem to find that documented anywhere. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claw Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Does anyone have pics of where they took the grinder to the hitch so they can mount it above the hook? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTurabus Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Search my name for posts on trailer hitches. I posted pics of my installation on a sedan a few years ago. No grinding of any type is needed with the Subaru hitch. This was true for my 2005 sedan, and also for my 2008 spec B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
str8dwn Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Seems Hidden Hitch has changed their design for the LGT Sedan/Wagon. More triangular in design. http://www.hiddenhitch.com/fitguides/pdf/N87446.pdf I Just ordered this, so will take some photos when installed.

BryanS Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 I just installed a Curt's hitch and it's the triangular design as well. I'll have to snap a few pics of it installed and post them up as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave g Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I finally got around to installing the hitch from my 07 SE onto my 05 GT. No problems, but the nuts were corroded from the plugs being out, probably the last owner had a hitch installed and did not put them back in. I cleaned the threads with a tap/die set. While I was down there, I did something I have thought about for some time, added some graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
696spd Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Looking forward to seeing the new Curtis and Hidden Hitch install pics. The Subaru hitch # L101SAG100 is over $300 delivered at every online vendor that I have checked...ouch ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bdubs Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 The "new" triangular version of Hidden Hitch has been around for almost 4 years now. It still sucks, and actually looks worse than the round tube version. How do I know? I've had one. I took it off 2 months later because it would scrape on everything. Bit the bullet and got an OB hitch and I haven't been sorry about that.

Seems most people run the L101SAG100 Well I bought a used L101SAG000 OB hitch off the forum. Everything I read here seems to reinforce that it will fit. Hope to install it soon and buy a nice 4-bike rack for it as soon as I can. Will try and post some pics up once I install it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bochinam Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Hidden Hitch: http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m257/brandon12284/IMG_1169.jpg Thanks for posting this pic. That thing really hangs low. If it dragged on your sedan it certainly would never work on my lowered GT wagon. It's either something like the Aussie "tow bar" or go without a hitch for me. Bummer.

From most of the pics I've seen, it seems like the OEM OB hitch tucks up quite a bit further than the "hidden" hitch does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ob hitch tucks right up flush to the bottom of the bumper. Looks much better, glad i switched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rporter Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Here's a pic of mine (from 5 years ago!!) with the original round-tube Hidden Hitch. Clearance was fine until I lowered it with coilovers, then I kept whacking the golf-ball receiver ornament I had when I went down a steep drive. Looks like it tucked up better than the newer style.
