Welp, Dean took off just now after coming over to help. We used a small 1000 lb rated furniture dolly, my big old Craftsman jack and some planks of wood to roll the bitch off the trailer.

Started with the trailer winch looped around the ass-end of the trailer and hooked to the front of the car to pull it until the rear tires were on the ground, then muscled it the rest of the way by hand from there. It was a PITA, but not terribly so. Big thanks to Dean for the help. Only took us about 90 minutes, and that includes time to park the trailer in the backyard, bullshit a bit, and eat some homemade chocolate chip cookies.

Now all I need to do it pull off the potentially busted parts and figure out what needs replacing so I can order up some parts. Anyone know a good place to pick up some '04-'06 USDM STi aluminum LCA's? They're the same as the JDM Spec-C ones that gain you 1.5 deg of static caster. I'll also need a new front swaybar... I'll probably just get another 20-22mm Whiteline one... as that seems to work well with my existing suspension setup. And some new endlinks for sure. Hopefully the axle's alright, and nothing else is bent... especially in the steering rack, since I just finished rebuilding that bitch right before all this happened.
