I've emailed sales@ and
admin@mr-josh.com and both have been rejected. Anyone got a phone number or other email ???????
I need a crank pulley ASAP - mine wobbles a little bit. I tried to tighten the hell out of the bolt with a 2' breaker bar, but it won't budge. The rubber rings on the stock pulley are cracked as hell so I wanna replace it pronto.
Please save me from buying an el cheapo fleaBay special underdrive pulley (I dont really want an underdrive unit and stock size aluminum ones are $100+) or *gasp* a ridiculously-priced OEM Subaru part.

I hear ya, but I just really don't want an underdrive unit. I want a stock diameter pulley.
The car has brand new belts, and since I live in Georgia I need all the power & A/C that the car can give.............

I went with an underdrive pulley, it wasn't that bad. You can get the bomz one off of ebay for like 35 dollars. It came pretty close to the price of a Mr. Josh pulley once you factored in the new belts.
Whatever you do,
A pulley with wobble is definately a bad thing. Hopefully it is the rubber part that's causing it, because the crank pulley bolt is the only other option which never leads to good things.

The crank pulley bolt looks 100% and so does the woodruff key on the end of the crank.
The pulley has a little bit of gouge in the key slot (only on the rear/engine side of the slot), after I cleaned everything up I slapped on the pulley again and it does have some play in it still. But the rubber rings look pretty terrible, they are all cracked and the thing is rusty since the car is originally from NJ.
So I'm definitely getting a new pulley, yeah I see the Bomz unit on fleaBay for cheap.
Mr Josh's looks good to me as I dont need or want any fancy schmancy ricer stuff, I just need a functional unit and definitely prefer a lightweight pulley. This stocker is friggin heavy! I just need something quick, as I'm trying to leave on friday for a 2500 mi trip. I wanna take my Ubaru not my girl's 'Yota !

yeah, damn the 3 pulley kit would've been pretty cool, also since they are stock diameters.
oh well, i ordered a lightweight pulley just a little while ago, its my damn fault i didnt notice this earlier so i had time to get it shipped regular - my shipping cost is my fault - another lesson learned.
i'll be able to see on this long trip if i gain any MPG with the lighter pulley, since i just did a 2100+ mi trip for thanksgiving, and about to do a 2500+ mi trip for xmas/nye.
