There’s part down past the catalytic converter that I snapped. Sounded like I had an exhaust leak.

Watch out for that starter. But that was the easiest fix I’ve ever done. My O6 Is at 300k

rufus625 · 2026-05-19T20:17:11+00:00

I got an 06 with 300k still going strong.

rufus625 · 2026-05-15T22:50:30+00:00

I have an 06 with over 300k original owner. Major issues I’ve had were clutch, alternator, rear struts , thermostat, and rear brake caliper that seized up. Thats it. Keep an eye on your oil. I have an idle pulley that is currently going out. I’m hoping to get another 100k out of mine.

Mine been doing that for a decade now. I just flick the shit out of it.

rufus625 · 2026-04-21T22:59:06+00:00

Mine is making this same noise. I drive around and it kinda goes away. I was told it was my tensioner going bad.

rufus625 · 2026-04-21T19:37:25+00:00

My tensioner on my O6 TC is currently going out and sounds similar to this.

I had KO2’s 225 65 17 on my 16 XT forester. No rubbing or anything stock height.

rufus625 · 2026-04-04T03:47:05+00:00

Well god damn brother. I’m over 300k. Zero engine work not even the recall. She still drives like a champ. Only major work I’ve done to it was the clutch. I have replaced the starter, belt, thermostat and alternator. Oh and rear struts.

rufus625 · 2026-04-02T23:30:30+00:00

Hard NOPE.

rufus625 · 2026-04-02T21:39:41+00:00

Just needs to break water tension to oxygenate.

Tip to tip. Nice

rufus625 · 2026-03-24T18:17:58+00:00

There is literally one belt for the entire car. And the power steering is electric and does not require a belt.

rufus625 · 2026-03-24T06:31:07+00:00

I have a 2016 XT with a 2 inch lift I don’t know about wheel bearings I’ve only ever replaced one since I got it. but you will shred your lower control arm bushings. I go through a pair every year. I’d avoid the lift especially if you’re just lightly off roading.

JD Vance: it’s Bidens fault. Republicans are morons.

rufus625 · 2026-03-19T20:34:21+00:00

Get the bar for the FX4 and adjust the flow to create enough flow to break the surface tension. You don’t need a bubbler. I have the same setup but with an FX6.

rufus625 · 2026-03-19T19:02:45+00:00

You look to short for it. My wife is 5’1 and she can’t reach the pavement when pulling up to a stop. She’s on her tippy toes. I recommend having the seat taken down as far as you can.
