This is a custom Subaru Brat. I bought two of them when I was in Alaska and was able to make one good one out of the parts from the other. I get a lot of cool stories and thumbs up everywhere I go with it. This has been my daily driver for the past 6 years. I have done all the mods myself. The only things that have ever gone bad for me were the starter and alternator. I have put new wheel bearings and seals, axle shafts, and larger radiator for the larger engine. It has a fuel injected 2.2 out of a 1995 wagon with 170hp. The stock engine only had half of that. The engine had 80,000 on it when I removed it from the wagon. I have since put about 3000 miles/year. I work only 6 miles from home and ride my motorcycle often. It has 6 lug hubs with new Chevy 6 lug wheels and tires. I put a 5 speed out of a 1989 wagon in it. The Brat never came with a 5 speed. This transmission is a 4x4. The original 4 speed comes with the truck as well. The 4 speed has 2hi, 4hi and 4low the 5 speed has just 2hi and 2low. The linkage in the 5 speed is getting loose and will need some attention soon but still works fine. It comes with 3 sets of wheels and tires. One set of U255's with Strata 255/35ZR20 tires 75% tread left, the second set is Good year Wranglers P235/75R15 on new black rims with 90% tread left and the third set were studded tires I used in Alaska. I removed the studs and the tires are almost bald now but the wheels are good.

Extra parts that come with this truck are:

hood

4sp transmission

driveshaft

T-tops

T-top seals

Rear axle

Various trim pieces

This is NOT a rust free machine. It has rust forming on the fenders and under the doors. The floor is usually the first to go on these but this one is in great shape.

Vehicle is for sale locally and will end auction early if vehicle is sold locally.

Buyer is responsible for vehicle shipping or pickup.

If full buy it now is payed I will throw in a tow dolly so you can transport easier.

Please feel free to ask any questions.

2019 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid gets top IIHS safety rating

Thu, Jul 18 2019

The IIHS has finally evaluated the 2019 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid, the plug-in version of the subcompact crossover, and it performs just as well as its fully gas-powered twin. Its high marks earned it the organization's highest award of Top Safety Pick +. In every crash test, the Crosstrek earned the highest "Good" rating for protection, including both driver and passenger small overlap collisions. Forward collision prevention also earned top marks, stopping the vehicle before a crash at speeds up to 25 mph. This is one area where the Hybrid improves on the standard model, not for better results, but for the fact that the forward collision prevention system is standard on all Hybrid variants. It's an option on base and Premium non-hybrid Crosstreks. The headlights are a similar situation. The Hybrid's standard headlights also received the "Good" rating like top-trim Crosstreks. Where the non-hybrid Crosstreks trip up is that the base and Premium trims have headlights that have the worst "Poor" rating. Parity resumes with LATCH child seat anchor accessibility, which gets a "Good+" rating for having easily reachable anchors and having extras for seating flexibility.

Subaru debuts tougher-looking Outback for Australia [w/poll]

Tue, 17 Sep 2013

If you're going to name a car after a specific location or region, you'd better make sure it's taken seriously in the place it's named for. You're not likely to see a Chevrolet Monte Carlo in Monaco, and the Alfa Romeo Montreal was never even officially offered in North America, but the Subaru Outback is another story.
Subaru apparently takes the Australian market, whose wilderness its jacked-up Legacy wagon is named for, very seriously. So it is apparently rolling out a revised version of the current Outback in Australia itself. The updated Outback, which arrives less than a year before the all-new model is expected to bow, answers Aussie customer feedback with a more rugged look. It's got new roof rails, body cladding, wheel arches, mud flaps, underbody protection plates and blacked-out headlight surrounds and grille trim.
The Motor Report reports that the AUD $2,500 worth of extra equipment - around $2,300 USD - comes with just an AUD $500 ($468) price hike. As far as we can tell, though, there are no plans to bring this latest look to our shores - Subaru has already detailed North America's Outback for the 2014 model year, and these changes aren't mentioned. Should this look be offered in our market? Vote in the poll below and then have your say in Comments.
