Why does my vin say BJ instead of BF?
Because your chassis IS a BJ and not a BF!
Allow me to explain. There are apparently 6 different legacy/outback chassis; BF, BG, BH, BJ, BK, BP
So now you're asking, well what's a BJ and BK? A BJ is a 90-94 Legacy wagon (except GT) and a BK is a 95-99 Legacy.
Well why are the legacys 90-94 (except GT) Legacy's BJ and 95-99 Legacy's BK you ask? Because they do not have a raised roof.
So THAWA, where do BF, BG, BH, and BP come in? BF is the 94 Legacy GT wagon, note it has a raised roof. BG is the 96-99 Outback Wagon, note they all have raised roofs. BH is the 00-04 Legacy Wagon or Outback Wagon. Note those all have raised roofs. And BP is the 05+ Legacy Wagon or Outback Wagon, note also that these have raised roofs.
To summarize, unless you have a raised roof, you dont have a BF.
This also explains why it seemed that FHI went from BH to BL, because J and K were already used

I'm on First and First. How can the same street intersect with itself? I must be at the nexus of the universe.

It'll give you a BJ, but it won't be your boyfriend. Legacys have a fear of intimacy.
Hey, it's 3AM and my fuel pump just died.

Midnight in a Perfect World on Amazon or order anywhere. The first book in a quartet chronicling the rise of a man from angry criminal to philanthropist. Midnight... is a distopic noirish novel featuring 'Duchess', a modified 1990 Subaru Legacy wagon.

not entirely correct, but close THAWA.
My 95 OB is a BK.
I think BG is 96-99 OB
the 95 outback wasn't a true outback. It had nicer swaybars, two tone coloring, and extras like cruise and power everything that you couldn't get on the regular Legacy L, but it wasn't lifted or a serious off road vehicle like the 96 and on OB.

I feel so disillusioned after all these years... I thought I knew my chasis code... but now it's like she's turned out to be a different person.
