That's a mistake considered they advertise in Surf magazines. If there isn't enough clearance I'd get the taller springs and lift the whole thing while I'm at it. You could do both for about $500. I still have 3 spare 15" steelies, any Crew member can have 1 free if they want a full size spare. It would fit on any TS wagon, Forester L, or Legacy L. -juice
#2460 of 14566 I think... by rsholland Nov 14, 2002 (7:12 am)
any vehicle that has "trucking aspirations," no matter how minimal, should have a full-size spare. Heck, I think all vehicles should have a full-size spare! Bob
#2461 of 14566 I've looked under the bed... by rsholland Nov 14, 2002 (7:13 am)
and it appears there is room for a full-size spare, but Subaru says no... Bob
#2462 of 14566 Split doors by paisan Nov 14, 2002 (7:21 am)
Yeah it's 70/30 split and that is very nice. The only change I'd make to the rear doors would be to have the 70% portion's window go into the door like a regular side door would have the window go down so that you could place larger items sticking out oh and I would also bring back the inside door handle so that you could open the rear door from the inside. -mike
#2463 of 14566 I'd rather see... by rsholland Nov 14, 2002 (7:36 am)
a set up like that found on Ford's Excursion, and is optional on GM midi-vans: The complete window hinges from the top, and the bottom 2 doors split 50/50. It's sort of like a "dutch-door" set up. You can open the top rear window section, yet keep the bottom doors shut. Bob
#2464 of 14566 Excurison flip-up by paisan Nov 14, 2002 (7:48 am)
I don't like it cause it doesn't go far enough up. I'm not tall 5'10" and almost smack my head on the flip-up! -mike
#2465 of 14566 That's a problem... by rsholland Nov 14, 2002 (7:53 am)
with the execution, not the concept. Bob
#2466 of 14566 by ateixeira Nov 14, 2002 (7:55 am)
Agreed, Bob, full sizers on every car. Well, maybe not the Miata. "It won't fit" is a poor excuse. It fits fine in my Legacy L. The Outback doesn't fit? Fix it. Redesign the spare tire well. The 4Runner set up is my fave. The glass powers down, and the whole thing lifts up for rain shelter. Plus lift over is easy. -juice

Agreed, poor execucion, great concept. -mike
#2468 of 14566 The BRUTE! by rsholland Nov 14, 2002 (9:22 am)
One nasty looking Wrangler pickup conversion! Reminds me of the original Jeep pickups from the 1950s. This is a vehicle you can order. Also, check out some of the other vehicles they offer. Bob http://www.aev-conversions.com/index.html
