ey everybody, I'm Parker!
Long time reader of the threads and OB in general on their social media and website!
1. I am located in Las Vegas NV.
2. My rig is a 1987 Subaru GL 4x4 wagon. It's from the days before the AWD that we are familiar with. His name is FrankenWagon and he is an FWD with a center diff. And 4xHi and Low. It is also the 5MT and a 1.8 Carb motor.
3. He is pretty much stock right now as it's MY first rig but I grew up with my dad's K5 on the trails in Colorado where I am from. I am considerably less outdoorsy than I was at one point in my life (a Boy Scout until I was 18) but along with my two kids i plan on getting back out when and where I can.
The reason I chose the Subaru was...
First it only cost a couple hundred $$ that I paid a friend who needed some help paying for his sons dental work and needed to get rid of the car. I can't sit by and not help when I have the ability to so I killed two birds with one stone for him.
Second... you don't see too many older Soobies crashing the trails so it is kinda different.
Sadly since it is a little less common and has the 1.8 Carb, parts are harder to come by unless they come from Australia where they are pretty common still. I will post pics as I get started turning it into my doomsday mobile. Any advice would be absolutely welcome.
