Cool review, Clyde.

Not sure why but I've been interested in the Subies lately. As a project car I'd like to get something manual, AWD, and with some ok punch to it, maybe an Imprezza WRX type thing. Lift it maybe 1" or so (for better suspension travel) and put some BFT AT's on there and go bombing around the forest service roads around here. It could be a fun camping / exploration car and there are thousands and thousand of remote, lightly travel gravel forest roads around here.

It's not going to happen . . . but it's been on my mind.

Could you put an inconspicuous dob of paint on the rails somewhere to mark the locations? In the track or on the inside of the rail? Use a dark gray paint if the rails are black.

I'd do that just for ease of use.
