I have the "2"" lift from FRL on my badlands. We did get it around the CV OK. I am happy with it. For me, it was never about looks and more about function. I figured the time and money spent on a lift was better than repairs when I bottom out on trails. I am extremely impressed with the lifted...

Hello. I just installed the FRL 1.75” lift on my Badlands myself. I did it right as far as I know. No strut rattle, everything tightened down, etc.. Very happy with it aside from one issue. Went to get an alignment. The techs said they couldn’t get the camber properly aligned and was an issue...

Imagine a 2.3 in a badlands… oh man. If I had the money to ruin a nice car, I’d be the first to try to make it work.

My brother had a WRX. The same year, I think. That thing RIPPED. While I once drove a variety of vehicles regularly, I haven't in a while. The BS BL feels quite fast, comparable to the 2004 SC430 I got to drive for a bit. Do you think that's just new cars in general, or is it notably fast even...

I always felt like manufacturers should spec vehicles using torque and power ratios instead of absolute torque and power. For example, a 350 hp 3 ton truck is going to feel slow. I was always surprised that most people don’t speak in these terms. Well, I found this site this morning...

I would be complaining about this one.

Not today but I put a roof rack on when it was -20 out and drilled through the front crossbar to mount recovery boards the other week. They’re just so damn big for the trunk. Put those splash guards on myself, too. Will install a frost plug engine heater and FRL 1.75” lift… waiting for it to...

I put full chains on my REAR 235/65/R17s and drove offroad for a good 30 mins with no issues. Can’t speak to the safety of the front pair. On my subie, I once had cables slip up and wrap around my tire horizontally… almost shredded my tire and stranded me 10 miles from the nearest building on an...

I like the BS more for practicality, but that 2 door is the coolest looking vehicle I’ve ever seen. Yours specifically. Edit: let me fluff your ego a bit. I’ve seen this picture here before and pulled it up for friends to say “LOOK AT THIS THING!” Might be funny to hear that. I was going to...

245/70! Did you trim the pinch weld? I’m kidding :) Looks like a blast. I use to endlessly drive around deep snow in wranglers on lonely weekend nights growing up. You’re bringing me back. I just bought my new 235/65s. Didn’t go bigger because I wanted to keep the responsiveness and figured I...

The AT3Ws feel like winter tires on-road to me but I have never tried a pure winter tire in deep snow off-road. Would be curious.

Hello, lifelong nerd here. Maybe you are too. In which case, you might be interested to know some experiential data on the performance of the vehicle in snow off road. Took the new baby out to shoot some guns on BLM land on a -10F day. Lots of breaking trail through snow of various inclines and...

Thanks for the feedback man! It is great out here. I’m fired up to be getting out in the woods with a bit more confidence than I had in my outback. Tore through some deep snow off-road up some 10 degree slopes the other day and was extremely impressed, but there’s always that voice telling you...

Did anybody install the 1.75" BS BL Woolworth kit themselves? I see a few mentions of it on here but not in detail. I am curious about how it went. I just purchased the kit and have a mid-level of experience working on cars (e.g. I can replace a power steering pump, I know how a turbo works...
