The chassis has 164,500 miles and has been heavily refreshed mechanically and beautifully modified for overlanding, camping, or daily driving. Inspection through 6/27.
• Head Gaskets: Done at 114,000 miles. Bone dry.
• Timing Belt: Replaced at 142,000 miles (only 22k miles on the current belt, good for years to come).
• Recent Maintenance: Brand-new transmission installed and valve cover gaskets recently replaced. Runs incredibly strong.
Suspension & Underbody Armor:
• Full Rebuild: The entire suspension system was completely rebuilt from the ground up using brand-new OEM parts. Rides like a new car with zero city or trail clunks.
• Premium Lift: Custom 2” front and 2.5” rear lift setup (perfectly leveled, no "saggy butt" stance).
• Short shifter installed with bushings.
• Exhaust: WRX UEL headers (rumble) through brand new Revel Medallion Touring S catback - sounds great.
• Armor: Equipped with a steel front bumper and full underbody skid plate to protect the oil pan and drivetrain on the trails.
Premium Trail & Camping Upgrades:
• Wheels & Tires: Premium Sparco Terra rally wheels wrapped in Falken Wildpeak A/T tires with excellent tread remaining.
• Overland Storage & Shelter: Heavy-duty roof rack installed, equipped with a premium Roam Adventure Co. pull-out side awning—perfect for instant campsite shade and shelter.
• Lighting & Horns: Full LED conversion all around for modern styling and exceptional nighttime trail visibility. Upgraded with iconic, loud Hella Supertone horns behind the grille.
• Intake: Fitted functional snorkel kit for dust/water protection.
Interior, Premium Audio & City Tech:
• Condition: The cabin is in clean condition for a 2001—no major rips, tears, or trashed upholstery. WRX seats.
• Premium Sound System: Upgraded with a premium Pioneer touchscreen head unit featuring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and DVD receiver. Includes a subwoofer.
• Parking Assistance: Integrated backup camera setup
• Smart Mirror / Dashcam: Installed Wolfbox front and reverse camera rearview mirror system. Acts as a high-definition digital mirror (great when the trunk is packed with gear) and records driving footage
Extras Included in Sale:
• Tons of Brand-New Spare Parts: The car comes with a stash of new parts including clutch components, extra lighting, and suspension pieces.
The Honest Details:
• Body/Cosmetics: The car looks great for a rugged trail build, but it does have a dent on the front driver-side fender, a dent on the driver-side rear door, and the typical Northeast Subaru rust on the final 10 inches of the passenger rocker panel and rear wheel arches (Subiesavers sells replacement kits). The frame, underbody, and strut towers appear solid.
This build easily saves you thousands of dollars in parts, custom labor, and mechanical restoration.
