    So it has begun. Spring has sprung and checkbook in hand....

    I am working with Primitive Racing in OR to build the mightiest of weakest Crosstreks.

    Just ordered some items to lift her and get to work....

    1" Primitive strut spacers
    1" taller King springs
    Primitive rear subframe spacers
    Primitive shock extensions
    Primitive brakeline brackets

    Next up....

    Team Dynamic 15x7 wheels



    General Grabber 225(215)/70 tires



    Mall crawler 2.0 is officially in the works....

    And yes, I know, I fail.... still no pics of my Crosstrek. After it looks less like a family wagon and more like the one below, I will....

    Get those pics up when you have the new wheels etc on. Too bad they don't offer the turbo diesel version in the USA eh?
    There's no 'I' in denial.

    Update:

    Project is off the ground....

    Yesterday, installed subframe spacers, brakeline extenders, shock extenders, and King springs. Ran into a snag with my front strut hat blocks, so I have to sit and wait for the "correct" ones to be shipped to me.

    I did mount and balance the wheels and tires and put them on for a quick look. From the looks of it, I MIGHT have to get a 5mm wheel spacer for the front wheels. Will depend on alignment.

    But, in all, looking good so far and it's getting there. No pics until complete!
