hey everyone, i can't find a pic with this on any bumper that i google...my wife hit a deer and we had to have bumper replaced. the shop guy has the part coming to put in this hole but i was curious what it is since its not the fog lights? would appreciate if anyone has a pic. (kind of funny, since the original bumper didn't have fog lights, and the 2nd bumper did but they were never connected, and now the 3rd has this jim
Check around your spare tire for it. On my Crosstrek it's in the form molding around the spare. I would assume it's the same on yours. But I could be completely wrong too
The older models had one in the little pouch with the tire iron and such in the trunk. Newer models, 05+(I believe) had them molded into the trunk floor.
thanks, i'll check on that. as you say i do have one in my 99 OB. it may take a while as it's "pretty darn chilly" today, and it will require me to move over the 80lb tube of sand that i almost got a hernia putting in a few months back!
I was just confused about sand tubes in the back of an AWD vehicle to begin with. I thought that's why we Subaru, because we don't need it.
over the years i have collected quite a few for use in trucks mostly. i still like to have a little extra weight in my subies
I don't need sand tubes anymore, dead hookers do a great job of weighing down the back end, and they last longer in the cold weather.
Did the salesman forget to give you an owner's manual? Man, they are always doing that!! Yea, there's an eye bolt in the tool kit, and a little cover on your front and rear bumper. That eye will thread into either position for recovery. It doesn't look like much, but I've seen people yank on those hard enough to send me ducking for cover....
