ryderbike Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 New to the forums , Slightly confused about the whole Legacy Outback v just Outback , but from what I understand my 2002 is a mk3 Legacy Outback ? If that's the case will roof cross bars from a mk3 Legacy fit ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Can you get the part no's for the rails and cross reference them ? Can't see why they shouldn't fit as the cats share most of the same body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich R Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Yes, they'll fit. :) When the Outback was introduced, it was originally badged as a variant of the Legacy in the UK and some other markets - hence 'Legacy Outback'. It was badged as 'Legacy Lancaster' in Japan initially, then just 'Outback' there and in Australia and some other places. When the Gen IV Legacy came out in 2004, the Outback started to be labelled just as 'Outback' in all markets to make it consistent. If you look at the model code on a 2004 Outback, you'll see it's actually still the same as a 2004 Legacy estate - ie BP9 for a 2.5 and BPE for a 3.0 :) As far as engines, chassis, bodywork and so on an Outback is a Legacy. The differences are mainly the height of the suspension, bigger foglights, generally higher spec interior and some extra plastic body trim panels and underguards. All the bodywork other than the bumpers is the same - including the roof rails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
