Default Upfront, and Outback. (lots of pics!)

Ok so Project White Out sucked. Lets face it. So ill just give you a pictorial timeline.
Day 1. Purchased in June of 2009.
Last winter. Completely stock.

Then i got a straight pipe. Went through 7 different exhaust setups. Heres the first pictured mod.

and the second...



The stock wheels turned to be pretty ugly from all the salt. ( dang midwest...)

so i got some stuff to make them nice.

primed

and painted!

and here is my current setup. (different color now)

Do you know what caused the crank pulley to fail?

You seem to like painting things. I like the red lug nuts actually. Not sure I understand painting the engine bay though?

I'd also suggest a real skid plate if you want to do that sort of things (: Mine got torn off on my first adventure into the bush.

The boot or bushing that was between the pulley and the shaft dry rotted and it violently came off. The engine bay was painted for my own sake. I HATE dirty engine bays. Mine had hella rust and calcium buildup. And yes i do like painting things. Friday will bring me a diy lightbar!

That looks 1000 times better. Is it just that angle, or is your exhaust piping really low?

I like it much better than PWO. Only thing I would change is the exhaust.
