Bro! I love what you have done with this Forrester- I love them & I need one.🤩
What tyres you have?
Sick build man!
Can't believe they're not leaking yet. That's what i actually came to see repaired.
This thing is sick. Good choice on the ADF parts. That's what I run also.
That 80 turned into 120 after 3 years. Very nice
That's not the fuel filter that's the fuel pump
What wheel rims are those, and are they 4x100?
What size wrap is that?
Your going to go through rotors not pads with the DTCs 50-70
Would you mind providing a link to the part you used in this video? Thank you. Exactly what need for my 2019 GMC!
You were not cutting "vertically", you were cutting longitudinally.
I Love driving a red car. Feels safe and highly visible to oher drivers
I replaced them both and the new ones failed immediately
☝🏾❤️🤙🏾
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
I have seen alot of people complaining about the bassets is unround and wobbles alot. have you experienced this?
Tank you for this tuto!
Needed this
Great jobs!
"Remove power from the fuel pump" Proceeds to disassemble glovebox to access power connecter rather than simply disconnecting the battery 🤦♂️
I just bought one and it was easy to put together. Took just one female. LOL💪
Have a 2001 outback wagon with the 2.5L engine and 5 speed manual. 180,000 miles. Gonna try this out, hopefully can get it running a bit smoother. Any recommendations on the type of economy oil used? Great video man thanks!
Can you provide the link for the spoiler I can’t seem to locate myself TIA
i tired all the channels and it doesn’t work
Miss my 07’ Forester. Also miss my 2011 Forester Touring. Just bought a 22’ Forester Wilderness. Great vehicles.
What size tires are those? Also your spacers and wheels what sizes? I'm wanting to build one so I'm getting ideas
Have you had very many issues with CVs or other suspension components from the lift?
Just lifted my 08 yesterday! 1.25 front! 2.50 rear! Keep the racked out look! Your build is so sick man props an gives me tons of good ideas! 🤜🔥🤛

I love this fitment so much! Good work man. I'll be going this exact route 👍
whats the wheels setup ont the FRS ??? i whould like to see un 986 with this kind of wheel setup :P
Love yours , awesome job
Thanks!
Working on a first gen FORESTER
The SF gens are great looking! Always thought they looked like a mini Landcruiser
Where did you get the parts , like the luggage rack
Hey there, I picked mine up at harbor freight for about $100.00 I also resprayed mine with another coat of satin black paint for rust protection
25 foot pounds on the torque spec for oil cooler adpator
Get some after market side skirts it'll look even better
in washington 90.5 is pretty good, there’s a little bit of static but it’s not a problem when i have music playing at moderate to high volume
Is this the only fuel filter on the vehicle? Because mine doesn't have on under the hood
Hey Toast, that's correct unfortunately. The 06-08 SG Foresters have them in the fuel tank. The 03-05 have em under the hood. It's pretty simple to remove it and then splice it under the hood - I just opted to keep it OEM to prevent messing anything up
Meanwhile my Volvo takes literally 15 minutes start to finish lol
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!
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!
Nice install.
Thank you!

Dave, have you ever felt you’re missing the hi/lo gearbox in off-road situations?
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
Install guide would of been nice.
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.
I was about to buy headers from ebay until i saw this video. This save me from a potential failure of my car. hope you find a way to fix it.
Where did you buy them from?
Got em directly from JDL via their website!
Haha that looks so good but honestlyyy you are better just sticking to 215 no spacer AT tyres. Minimum unsprung weight is more important than actual grip in fozzies ❤️ In saying that itll still be super impressive.
Thank you! The spacer is mainly there due to wheel clearance issues. Will be upgrading to alloy wheels soon so no more spacer!
