I am selling half of a Subara / Yakima Round Bar Kit. It is brand new and is in the original box. I needed only half the kit (one bar,etc.) to mount my...

I need to add a hitch to my Subaru so I can tow a small trailer (4x6). I understand the dealer can do this... What is the going price at the dealer for a hitch...
I had the dealer do mine...for the same purpose as yours (Except while I haven't yet got the trailer, I've been thinking more along the lines of a 4X8. Strong...
Oh sorry, for the rest of your question, per the owner's manual, at least my 2002 OBS is good for towing 2,000 pounds, and the factory hitch is good for 2,000...

My wife and I both have 97's, she's got a U-haul hitch, and I've got some other sort of generic one. They both hook up the same. It's just two bolts to...
I put a hitch on my subaru 97 2.2L manual trans OBS, 98 autotrans Forester and 2001 manual trans Outback Legacy. ( the Outback Legacy is mine and others...
Yeah, I always forget there's more to it than just "the specs". I've never had trouble going or stopping with either of our auto 97' Imprezas (OBS or L sedan)...
I would concur with that. The big issue is your ability to control the trailer.... There are circumstances when the trailer will try to push the car around....
I also forgot to mention that I do deal with hills and I've upgraded my 97's brakes to the larger twin piston fronts and discs in the rears. I wasn't terribly...
Levi - the better brakes are a good move. With the smaller trailers it is difficult to find one with auxiliary brakes anyway....Most trailers only have brakes...
Oh - I just realized 007 you said cost at the dealer LOL Try pricing out at Uhaul or another independent first over the phone then the dealer. I think the...
Good information, guys, thanks. Having not gone shopping for my trailer yet, I hadn't yet given considerations to things like weight, available space inside...
Thanks all for the info. I'm fairly handy around cars. I'll probably buy one and install it myself, or, if it looks like I can't handle it, have my local ...
Yeah, finding a light trailer with brakes is rare, the reason Subie suggests it is that the braking system on 03 obs sort of light anyway. The front disc are...
The current OBS' are STILL coming with drums on the backs? I thought most all Suby's had upgraded to the discs in the back now. If not, SHEESH! Yes, you...
I still maintain that you guys make way too much of a deal about rear disc vs. drum brakes. About 80% of the braking duty is done by the front wheels (due to...
Well, it depends on what you mean. No doubt about it, the front upgrades make more difference in ability. But the rears do help the pedal feel. With those...
All good points Levi, but think about it: The Subie is rated for a 2,000 pound trailer, with a 200 pound hitch load. When you're stopping quickly, with...
Hmm, well I suppose it depends on how the trailer is loaded. It is hard to predict the exact physics of the trailer. I was more envisioning a loaded trailer...
Now THERE'S an interesting idea. Remember that two or three year period when the first generation Toyota MR2 had a supercharged (not turbocharged) model? The...
Yeah, just like the one in Mad Max! (: ... -- It isn't what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy....
Well, it was a Roots-type supercharger, and didn't have an intake sticking through the hood! ;^) It did, however, have a 0-to-60-mph time of 6.5 seconds, and...
Yeah, wouldn't make much sense to run the intake all the way from the back of the car up to the hood. I would have put it on top of the passenger compartment,...
Super Charger on demand - ohh that does sound sweet! Has anyone see a SC modified Subie? Seems like there is room on top for the compressor. Chris From: "Levi...
