    Subaru outback 4x4

    My 07 outback is getting replacing and instead of selling it off cheap someone suggested to use it for 4wd trips where you know you're going to scratch the paint, put a dint in a panel, scrape the belly etc..

    Anyone had a go at lifting one? That's the main issue I can see is clearance, if I managed to find a way to bring it up 2-4 inches it could go a lot of places, got decent a/t tyres already, traction control in Subaru's is bloody good (no need for diff lock)....

    There are lift kits around from Aus and the USA. They don't increase articulation, just height. A few clips on youtube.

    Yeah. Was thinking of doctoring the Forrester once the kids have learnt to drive in it. Manual with low range.

    Yeah but I don't want to damage it, I inherited it from my old lady, if I put a scratch on it I will have to go to my bedroom and ground myself.

    If you're going somewhere that you expect to damage an 80 series I imagine it'll do a heck of a lot worse damage to an Outback....

    Depends on the type of damage... underbody sure, but a big fat 80 series will get more paint scratches squeezing between gorse bushes etc.
