There's nothing an angle grinder and ball peen hammer can't fix...or break to the point where you don't care anymore. :grinning:

Hey there Jeff and Drew, not sure if the username tagging that I attempted in this thread sent you notifications -- I've spent the last 18 years on NASIOC, and that dinosaur of a forum doesn't have any of the "fancy" stuff this one has. :grinning: Drew, I wanted to make sure to thank you for the...

Same as my previous tires (the TerrainContacts): 245/65 17. That's on a 2" LPA lift, fwiw, but interestingly enough I'm getting a very slight amount of rubbing on the wheel well liner at certain extreme wheel angles (i.e., turning around in my driveway). It's been nearly two years since I had...

Hear, hear. I had no idea how bad my struts had gotten until I installed 4 news ones today (Rallitek 0" lift overload springs on Bilstein B6 shocks). It feels like a whole new car. No more crashing over potholes, side to side head-shaking over seemingly even roads, or the disconcerting side-step...

Yikes. :openmouth: We're overrun with deer here in CT too, though it seems like the coyotes are finally putting a dent in their overpopulation. None too soon, too. That's good to hear. I think I'll give them a shot. And it may have been VDC, but I can tell you that I haven't been able to...

Drew, thanks for that info. How many miles have you put on the Wildpeaks? What I'm mostly concerned about is losing the excellent rain traction of the Contis (it's rained an ungodly amount here in CT in the past few months, and it looks like it's now the norm). The Dynapros were fine in the wet...

JC, I agree on the subjective aggressiveness of the Wildpeaks being seemingly similar to the K02, but from an on-road noise and handling perspective, it seems like Falken's worked some kind of magic to make them as good as their less aggressive competitors. Since my previous post, I've been...

Oh and regarding this, Jeff: I don't know if it's been obvious in my pics or not, but when I replaced the Dynapros I kept the unused spare as is (see attached pics from a January trip to Vermont, speaking of snow). My rationale was this: Since the Hankooks are a slightly smaller diameter than...

That's good info; thanks, man. Maybe the Wildpeaks are a good middle point between the road-friendly TCs or G015s and the off-road focused KO2s. I'll do more research on that. Yeah, I noticed that about the TerrainContacts' snow traction reviews, and was a little surprised by it. I've driven on...

Hey Jeff! Are you moving on from the TerrainContacts? While I'd love the look and extra off-road grip of KO2s, I just can't justify their extra noise and weight considering the vast majority of my driving (especially while not camping or otherwise on vacation) is on-road. As for the G015s, from...

w00t, it's in! Before I jacked up that center bolt and greased everything up*, I had my doubts that I could get it in there (one-armed, especially). It worked like a charm, though! I'll be driving it tomorrow morning to really test it out; I have high hopes based on everyone else's experiences...

Looks great, Jeff! Yeah, Mark at Detours Offroad does great work. Fyi for everyone else: He can make that particular carrier so that it either pivots to the side or straight back. I went for the side option so that it would be easier to get at my trailer's connections and cargo box. It's been...

Good tip. Thanks!

w00t! Can't wait til I can finally do this. Sweet! That was a big question of mine. It might even let me put it in sooner with my (temporarily) bum shoulder, since I won't have to take the trans plate off.

Thanks man! An unexpected rotator cuff tear has prevented me from installing Chris Kraynack's transmission mount insert for a little while, but when I can finally do it I may ask you about your bottle jack method. I've been wondering if my floor jack will do the trick too if I can figure out a...

LPA does as well, btw. ... Also, hi all! I've been the happy owner of a 2016 Outback 3.6R for nearly 3 years, and I haven't stopped fiddling with it since the day I bought it (just like I did with the many turbo Subies that predated it). 2" lift, skids, Knucklebone spare carrier, etc -- all the...

Cool! Thanks so much, Jeff!

Jeff, I'm glad I saw your thread -- specifically, this post. I'd just about given up on that damned 18-22mph shake, which the dealer (of course) has continually claimed doesn't exist and/or blames the LPA lift for. I'm reading up on the insert now and I'm going to order it for my '16 3.6R as...
