Not sure how the templates will go I have got a late SG xt wing to fit to my late SG xt.

I had a bit of a look and I can't actually find any templates for the later model. A guy on another forum appears to have used the same templates as I for an install onto a later SG but I don't know which wing it was. 

Not sure if you're on OzFoz but I believe 'Family Guy' has a brand new later SG spoiler he has up for grabs with an Ultrex body kit; if it hasn't sold already, he might be able to copy the templates for you? 

The first two holes you drill correspond with a 'marker' dent on the inside of the tail gate (near the gas strut - can't miss it) which set the positioning of the template. You could always see if those first two bolt holes align with the studs on your spoiler by physically overlaying the template onto the spoiler? (I hope that made sense?) That would confirm as to whether the spoilers have the same 'footprint' on the tailgate.

Busted the tab that connects the sway bar link to the lateral link arm. I knew it was not a matter of it, but when.

Oh well, good opportunity to upgrade to STi alloy lateral links that have a much stronger swaybar link tab!

Cheers again for that

It's been a while since I updated this ol' thread.
 

Late 2016 saw my partner receive an opportunity to complete her PhD abroad so we packed up our lives and moved 16,000kms away from my beloved Forester. Although backdated, I thought I'd share our final adventures :-)

August 2016:- Disappeared with a buddy up Mt Bogong for a week of backcountry ski touring. Access to the mountain is via a chopped up logging trail that gets worse and worse each year. First time I made the trip was on a set of worn Pirelli P7's which weren't ideal and I recall a little bit of wheel spin. Current tyres are Yokohama G95 HT/S which came on the S-Edition wheels - not as good as the G051's I had on my SF but they seem to strike the on/off road balance nicely all the same. 

 

 

Along with our snow camping, photography and ski equipment, we lugged a drone up the mountain and captured some truely sensational footage!

Final adventure was helping cart our possessions from our place into storage. <3 wagon. 

 

 

Last snap before entering storage.
Gave her a good clean and wax to offer a little protection under the car cover made sure she was all up to date service wise and popped her back on her stock wheels (don't really want to flat-spot the good tyres on the STi wheels...)

Folks have since relocated her to another location which is (thankfully) fully covered and out of the elements.
