Take the title with a grain of salt. Please insert any tips throughout.
The goal is just to race the Mexican 1000 and just have a prerunner Subaru. I wanted to race in their "Rally Raid AWD" class using my Hotbits coilovers as they were at the max travel for that class (10" front, 12" rear), but most years there is nobody in that class. Might as well try to be competitive if i'm entering a race right? So the class I'm shooting for is Score Class 7 or BITD 7200. In the Mexican 1k it'll either be "Heavy Metal Class" or "Pre-run Truck".
For now I will only be focusing on suspension so I can stay on track to be able to take the foz on a roadtrip planned for May 2017. The cage will need to be built after the roadtrip unless I have the time to do it this winter. Shooting to make the race in the spring of 2018, but if the foz is ready sooner than then, then I will enter a domestic race to get my feet wet.

Plan:
- Dual A-arm front suspension cycling 18-22" of travel
- Dual A-arm rear suspension with toe link (will make sense later - similar to the PPI 015 Toyota) cycling 20-24" of travel
- 32" tires on factory offset wheels to allow for longer arms and more travel while keeping it under the BITD max width of 85"
- Either King or Fox internal bypass coilovers all around
- High compression EG33 (11:1CR 3.4l H6 I built for a different Subaru) unless the length is more than I want to build around, then it'll be an EZ30
- Extended length axles (+8") probably from DSS
