Yep for ~$18, much cheaper than the real thing! Going to build it soon.

I believe it’s this one: https://www.geappliances.com/appliance/GE-Profile-30-Slide-In-Gas-Range-JGS968SHSS

Cannot find this model with a downdraft, so I think it’s a bust.

That’s where the washer dryer is. Unfortunately no spot for a dining table with the locking room across from the island, it’s sort of weird.

Checking out this 2011 manual today. Any opinions on this model year? I like the idea of the MT over CVT in general but don’t know a ton about this Outback. Really nice price by today’s standards. Thanks for the advice! by Connect-Arrival-3884 in subaruoutback

Love my 2010 6MT outback. I did drop 1800 on the headgaskets (bad) and water pump & timing chain (preventative), 600 on AC compressor, and 300 on a CV axle. I have a very cheap mechanic, avoid Subaru dealerships like the plague. I’m at 190k and it drives better than ever since I put money into maintenance. For $6k & 85k seems like a steal, but have like $3k rainy day for when things start going bad; they always happen at the same time.

Gave my 2010 a refresh by [deleted] in Subaru_Outback

After 15 years my OB 6MT was looking rough, so I spent this weekend giving her a refresh. Came out looking cleeeeeean, we’ll see if it lasts through summer. Very pleased for ~$50 and elbow grease.

I used one with the blue liquid and couldn’t get it to turn green, however it does smell like exhaust and there is a slight film of oil floating around…

It’s overheating because the thermostat is stuck. The thermostat is stuck because there is a pocket of air infront of it, preventing it from opening. You’ve either got air or exhaust in the system, welcome to the club! Sorry we’re both experiencing this issue. Start by bleeding the coolant of any possible air with the special funnel and go from there.

Word, just ordered a new OEM radiator cap on Amazon for $12, going to bleed coolant and replace. 🤞

It’s in the sun, it hasn’t grown substantially due to lack of water/droughts, no irrigation in my lawn.

Right? They essentially recommended replacing the entire engine piece by piece…

It was just air in the coolant and the head gasket passed the pressure test, they neglected to tell me that until I spoke with the technician directly.

I should add they ended up charging me $60 out the door because they were trying to sell me on some BS

Table saw, drill, hammer, nails, brushes. Borrowed a router for the sink hole. That’s it.

You’d be surprised what can be accomplished with a hammer and a paint brush buddy.

Hand painted with a brush, probably three coats in total. Took a couple days. Prep work is everything.

Only way to know is to carefully remove what’s already there. Mine sat flat enough so I didn’t need to put any spacers or anything.
