Well I have been abit busy at work and at home, but Iv been doing a few things. I did a trip with the Vic suby club on the Labour day weekend and had a BALL!!! Cant wait to get out again! The car as stock went very well and surprised me and I think a few of the others as well! I have since added- AR...

So for a single guy trying to save space (fridge/esky & dog) and comfort would you go for Swag or Tent? And which swag is best?

Is there a way to lift it without replacing my CV joints too often? I think Iv read that they last about 25000km?

Well I am pretty angry atm!!! Work is just screwing me around so hardcore! No more trip! No more course! No more promotion! Im doing as much for my car to prep for camping/4wding as I can now before they can decide to send me somewhere! Iv spent a bit of money on awning, compressor, maxtrax and few ...

Im interested Taza...
I think I read somewhere that you need to weld up the old hole or something though?
And I THINK Iv read that it is better on your CV joints?

I have heard a few people do this, and its meant to be a great way of doing it! I just dont want to do the welding etc. Id like to return my car to stock when I want to sell it. Though thats probably not going to be for a while yet.

Thanks everyone for your help and advice!!! Well... Everything has to be put on hold! I was hoping to get the lifts and once ordered them I was going to order BullBar! Then I was going to get all my camping gear I needed and do a trip upto Fraser Island before winter! NOW however I am flying over to...

Just got a reply from SUMO. "I am working on them now. I expect them to be available around the 1st of the month. I am down until the 15th of this month. If I have 1 ready are you ready to purchase?

Subtle Solutions has replied and said they only do 1" lift for the new shape Foresters and they wont have any for a few weeks. CrossBred has also replied saying they wont have anything, Strut or Body lift, for a few weeks also. Sumo has not replied. So Ill just have to wait for a few weeks I guess! ...

I am looking to get some new CHEAP rims that can get scratched and some AT tyres for a 2nd set. I currently have 215/65R16 tyres. I thought any Rims, Forester and most Subaru, would fit but apparently not. What do I need to know for Rims? And anyone have any cheap? I was thinking of going Cooper tyr...

I think Id prefer the blocks as I understand the need for "articulation" (right word/spelling?). I have thought about springs.

Im looking for a 1" - 2" strut lift for my MY09 XS Forester.
Iv tried sumo and crossbred and both say they are making but don't have anything as yet.
Does anyone know where I can get something from Australia?
Subtle Solutions has stuff but they are from the states.
