Welcome to the forum!

Looks like I figured out that linking to google photos is not the right way. I'll post pics directly from my phone for now on. - Cheers

Thanks! A winch is the next big purchase to make it even cooler.

Thanks Chris! Yes it's always blast when I'm on/off road overlanding, where it's all about how I got there and the destination is the icing on the cake.

Awesome rig!

Cool truck and all, but tell me about the STi wagon! Is that a swap or did you bring in an overseas model? I sold my 2002 bugeye WRX wagon a bit more than a year ago, and my 2008 OBXT wagon last summer when I bought the 4Runner. I'm smorris on clubWRX if you're on there.

Oh yes my secret weapon/sleeper. It is a complete swap with a lot of modifications under the body panels. I've thought about selling it, but I think I want to play with it for one more season. Look here on NASIOC for the details of the build. I'm sure it wont disappoint. Did you ever drag, autocross, rally, or time trial your wagons?

I have ordered my icon stage 7 suspension for my 2016 4runner . Hopefully i will receive it in the next few weeks. It's definitely a proses.

@RIBahler Yep, I autocrossed the WRX in STX a couple of years, and took it to the strip once (my only time ever in any car) What a blast! See morrisgarage.com/wrx for the mild mods.
