    awesome. we have very similar builds! i have the 06 LL bean with a 2 inch adf spacer lift with king springs. love what you did with the black vinyl wrap. definitely considering doing the same to mine now! also if you're a fan of the offroad lights or consider doing a light bar on the front bumper like i have, i highly recommend looking into an auxpower LED switch controller for your light setup. its completely customizable with up to 8 switches for all your lights or other accessories. definitely worth the cost in my opinion. great job again man. i'm super jealous of the hood scoop xD

    Hey man! I love your videos! I did have a question, do you have any rub with those tires when turning? I know you have to punch the front pinch welds an all but is there zero rub after that? I have an 08 forester with the same Bassett wheels and I'm considering some 215/70 R 16 tires but would love to go up to 215/75 if I could. Drive on brother!

    • @davechangauto
      @davechangauto Рік тому

      Hey Ioboy, That's correct - Unfortunately you will need to punch the pinch welds. The tires rubbed quite a bit at mid to full turn After punching the welds, the Fozzy only rubs when reversing at full turn - no other issues Hope that helps!

    • @davechangauto
      @davechangauto Рік тому

      Hey Sander, There's been a few moments on the rock trails where the low gear would have been great. Not necessary but definitely would have made everything easier. For regular off-road trails with just mud and the occasional bush, I wouldn't think about needing the low gear. A locker would definitely be nice though! Really wished the US models had the hi/lo gear, it'd be great to have

    Question for you: with the wide angle mirrors, how do you gauge when a car is close/far enough for you to merge over? What’s your method? On the regular flat mirrors, it’s generally ok as long as you see them on the top half of your mirror and they are not gaining on you…is it true with the wide angle too? The warped perspective can be a bit confusing.

    • @davechangauto
      @davechangauto Рік тому

      Thank you! The spacer is mainly there due to wheel clearance issues. Will be upgrading to alloy wheels soon so no more spacer!
