I have a 2023 nonSas Badlands with manual and the high package which has extra sound deadening. It'It's like a luxury car compared to my 2002 Subaru. Absolutely no regrets.

I have a pair of Hella 500s with amber lenses I need to list on here. They use a 55w H3 halogen bulb.

This guy isn't thinking things through completely. There are some cars where the oil filter points down when installed. The filter is on top of the engine (many Subarus starting around 2011. There are others). Such filters have a check valve to keep them from draining when the engine is shut...

That was a thing back in the day Chrysler products were the last to use left hand thread. They phased them out 1971-1975 by which time all their wheel lugs were right hand thread. The theory was that left hand thread on the left side would help prevent lug nuts or lug bolts from loosening up due...

Seems like an excellent idea.

The Rubicon intrigues me, but I'll probably never go. I don't care for crowds and really don't like the idea of bending my Bronco.

Subaru Cooling System Conditioner (same as Holt's Radweld) is an excellent stop leak. It works and will not clog up your cooling passages. Up until then I never trusted a stop leak. All the ones I saw previously looked like they could clog passages. I've used it, it sealed a crack in the upper...

lol... Still don't know what it is. Is it something similar to a Bronco event on the Rubicon?

Probably not since I don't know what it is. :angel:

Warranty on the engine might good. I can't remember if you tuned it or not.

That's what a lot of young people think. I know you know better. Exclusive club and membership has been closed for quite some time. I have had a few ask were it was located. lol

Super impressed. I've been following your progress, usually without commenting.I love your attention to detail and level of thinking about the forces involved. And kudos to Mrs. Sierra for progressing farther and accomplishing more than most men would dare.

My local Costco has 10 quarts (2 five quart bottles) for $40.

Blackstone charges $40 for a standard oil test, and you don't need to do it every time. Do it once to find out if you should be changing your oil. Then again at the end of your planned extended interval. That will give you a really good idea of how your oil is holding up. You can tell...
