LOL, so far, only Ldub has picked up on the true meaning of my scissors. So here you go:

Congrats Bart!! I've got 265-75-16 on mine.Just a tiny bit of trimming on front cladding,like 1/3 of an inch. You can't tell.

nice, congrats on the new house, its got a nice garage if nothing else now you dont have to wash the VX as often 'cause nobody will be able to see it hehe

I went through the same issues when I bought my house a few years ago. My VX would fit in the garage easily with a lift, but it might have issues clearing the raised garage door. Taking off the roof rack and the rack fairing would grant a little more headroom for door clearance, but damn, I hate to just do and and find it isn't enough, heh. Just not worth finding out only to have to keep it parked in the driveway. Though, I am sure the WRX is saying "Do it! do it! then I can stay in the garage!", hahaha.

Grats on the house. Great time to buy, sad time to sell. So many great looking homes around my way up for sale at dirt cheap prices now, but I would take a huge hit on the sale of my house, if I could even sell it.

Cool, thanks. I was actually going to PM you about yours. I love the way your VX looks with the lift and the M/Ts, so I hope to get the same look on mine. You lift was about 2"s as well, right? Or was it more?

Don't worry, I'll still wash my VX as regular as ever. I am thinking of getting a pro wax job sometime soon as well. But I might as well wait until after Moab since I will be covered in layer of bug juice by the time I get back.

Yeah, if you are in a position to buy a house right now, consider yourself lucky, because now IS the time. We got a wicked 30 year rate and we also bought this house in a new development before they started building. We looked at the floor plan and liked it, and then the sales lady told us about the incentives they were offering to get the community going, and it was a no-brainer at that point. It was a REALLY nice deal.

Congrats on the new digs. I'm sure you'll be happy.

I gotta go to closing on my daughter's house tomorrow (first time buyer).

The OME 912 lift and the torsion bar cranked.I think it's closer to 3 inches with the 265-75-16's

OK, so that is one route. That is the same lift Clint has. Is it worth it to do anything up front other than crank the T-bars? Should I go ahead and put in new boots while I am messing around?

Congrats on the new home buddy! I'd love to have that much room for the VX (and other toys). Way cool!

Just get a set of Mec-A-Tec boots from Indy & have em' at the ready & you'll probably never need em'...that's how it's worked for me so far...

Thanks, Gill! Yeah, it was pretty much an impossibility in Chicago, but out here, things are A LOT more affordable....
