    Just returned from a quick day trip out to Tahuya. Ran the GPS tracking app on my phone to get a route mapped out for reference. Had a blast showing three other folks around (glad I didn't get too lost haha).

    Thanks! I'm really liking the new look. Nope, no contact with any trees/rocks/immovable objects was made by myself or any member of the party.

    Did you take the same loop as we did before at Tahuya?

    More or less. Took a slightly different route at the end.

    Do you have much of a height difference between the front and the rear? I have 882's and nitro shocks and I've got a 2'' difference.

    It sits fairly close to level now. But I also have full OME Dakar leaf packs and air ride helper airbags to support heavy loads

    Interesting. I have dakars with the add a leaf in the rear. I also have a u-bolt flip kit and have relocated my rear shocks (because of the flip kit). I wonder if that is what is making the difference in ride height.

    What did you do to eliminate the ABS?

    Where did you get the Wilwood PV?

    Need to get on this project and order parts before the SAS happens.

    Thanks again.

    Hope my write up helps out. Once you're in the engine bay looking at it, it does make more sense. I purchased my Wilwood PV from Amazon.

    Do you have a pic of the finished PV install?

    Thanks.

    Sort of hi-jacking my own thread here, but I just picked this bad boy up a few days ago. Truck is officially a weekend/expedition dedicated rig now!

    Next to my cousin's new (2 weeks old) XV Crosstrek. He may or may not have a slight case of buyer's remorse after riding in the WRX. :)

    Negative on the STI, WRX limited. Was tempted by the STI, but with this latest iteration, the gap between WRX and STI has shrunk considerably. I've got 250 miles on it so far (purchased with 5 on the odometer) and can't get the smile off my face.
