- As promised, the complete build plan for our 2024 Subaru Outback Wilderness. A month ago I didn't plan on getting a 2024 Outback Wilderness, but I'm glad I did. As most of you know, this build will be done differently and with some key features in mind that I will go over in detail in this video. If you just picked up a 2024 Outback Wilderness and don't really know where to start, this may help you in your journey.

LOVE that building! Grew up with and worked at a family owned full service Exxon. Pumped gas, washed windshields, and checked oil before turning wrenches and driveing tow trucks. People would come there just to "bench race" and play a hand of poker on the coffee machine cups. (That was the 80's in Va) Great memories. Love forward to your pinky up build. I've kept mine pretty basic but love watching people go nuts and if I see something I like, I'll do it. Kind of like I used to go to model homes to get idea for my house. As usual, thanks for the vid
I appreciate the comment and I'm super stoke to turn this old bag into a more modern place. Keeping the front looking original is a goal of mine.
Bronze Sparco Terra’s FTW! Can’t wait to see the new build!!
Thanks for the tip!
Xped fits like a glove on that passenger side. Take the headrest out and put in the reverse way to prop mattress. I put a yeti roadie cooler on the floor behind the passenger seat
EPIC! Thank you for that!
My boy is a mad scientist love it.
LOLOL You're the man! Thanks for the comment
I feel the exact same way when it comes to to tinting my windows, Glad to know I’m not alone,
Not alone at all! Thanks for the comment!
OffRoam makes a phone mount that goes into the air vent. It’s made from aluminum and they have a MagSafe wireless charging base with a strong magnet. It’s designed for the Outback specifically
I didn't think they made one for the new outbacks. Have you installed it on a new outback?
My wife has a 22 outback and i use my quadlock windscreen suction cup on it and its great. super solid, i use it in my forester as well. they have so many options and they are SUPER consistent and easy to use.
I've been hearing a lot about quadlock, but I'm just not sold on the suction cup the windshield Idea. Is that where it suctions?
@@roamingwithjosh yes it on the windshield. I’ve used it on my wrx, Forster and jeep XJ. Only problem I’ve had is in summer it gets hot and falls off but I just put it back on no problem. They have other mount to hard mount them to dashboards or round pipes (like handlebars). The case is also amazing, I’ve had my iPhone 10 since new with quadlock cases and have never had a screen crack or anything and I drop my phone often as I’m pretty rough with all my things.
I would love to see an install on a DC to DC charger I am running a 20 amp victron Orion and tapped a spare slot in the under dash block with a 25 amp fuse to charge my house battery for my inverter and fridge. Right now it is riding in the cargo area, but need to decide on the placement.
I probably wouldn't install a DC to DC in this vehicle. There are tons of videos like that on UA-cam, though.
Shh. Kofa doesn’t need a hoard of people slamming around! 😊
Looking forward to this build!
That's probably a really good point!
Proclip has two cell phone mounting solutions for the Subaru Outback Wilderness.
I'll take a look now!
Glad to hear you're sticking with the OBWs! I'm not gonna lie, it's super tempting watching your vid to upgrade from my '22 to a '24, but I'm not sure how to justify it to my wife! Looking forward to seeing the rest of the build steps on this!
Forgiveness or permission...? LOL
Gonna be cool seeing the new setup now that you've been driving and offroading a subaru for a bit!
Also, you won't be disappointed with the Nittos, I've been running them since I had 1300 miles on my forester, and they're a great tire for it. As for the wheels, I know a lot of people were going for the Reika's, I myself went for the Reika R25s, but they were oversold, so I went with their R20s.
Appreciate the input! I'll check those wheels out.
I just bought my first ever Subaru. 2024 OBW. Just found your channel, subbed, and looking forward to the journey, even though I'll never mod my Outback...Take my sub and comment for the algo!
LOL you're the GOAT! Thanks for showing some love!
Check out the ecoflow delta 2 for power it has multiple ways to power and glacier makes a vehicle fridge that has its own backup battery and even ice maker if your interested in good reviews check out tinkerers adventure he has very thorough tests of them even if he’s a Toyota guy haha just kidding
LOL thanks for the advice and I'll check them out!
Peak Design makes some good camera mounts. Used an air vent one, but the vent placements not ideal on the Outback, plus the phone kind of blocks it. Now I just toss it into the cubby by the gearshift and run everything through CarPlay, letting my older eyes take advantage of the big-screen goodness. Another option you might try (I haven't tried in the car yet) is a MagSafe accessory from Moment that has 1/4-20 and 3/8 mounts on the back. The magnets very solid, pair it with a SmallRig magic clamp/arm, or any of the myriad of camera mounts out there and find a place to mount it.
I'm all about pioneering an idea, I was just hopeful that there was something out there I could use without an engineering degree.
In process of installing a water tank and water pump in spare tire well in 2021 Outback Touring. Have you ever thought about doing the same?
No, jugs will work fine for me
I just got mine today so excited to start messing with it
Awesome!
Costco sells a very strong cell phone mount. 2 included.
Do you know what it's called?
I bought the same mounts with arm that pull out 6 inches 2 years ago. They don't sell that style any longer. But these are made by the same company.
@@roamingwithjosh
The building could be converted into a cool mid century modern home. I built one from cmu’s and steel and we love it!
That's a pretty sweet idea!
so glad you thought so bro! yeah our dream has always been to design and build our own mid-century modern home and we did it during the pandemic! now i'm actually design homes for clients, all modern. theres' nothing like coming home to your dream house... you don't have to be a rich person either! @@roamingwithjosh
For those on a budget and not looking for a wilderness pkge, which do you recommend, a used Subaru Accent or the less roomy Subaru Outback? Thank you for your channel
Thanks for the comment! Hopefully others answer your question as I do not have any experience with other models.
CA sliders are being delivered today 🎉 knowing myself they will be install tonight after work … if run into any issues will video the issue and what I found to make easier 👍🏼
Right on!
I'm curious how the bumper bar will interact with the front-facing camera.
You can barely see it in the camera view. BUT, the cameras on this car are terrible so I don't think it will make much difference.
Please do show how it looks from the front-facing camera when you do it, okay?
@@roamingwithjoshThey really are terrible. And yet, did you also have every salesman touting how great the cameras are on this car?
What are your thoughts on the spare tire carrier that plugs into the hitch? I think you had that on your 2020. Definitely looks great, but would love to hear what you have to say and why, or why not, transferring it to the 2024?
It was a bomb-proof hitch mount. It makes getting in and out of the rear hatch a huge pain, though, and the additional weight wasn't worth it for me.
This dude is such a beggar lol he comes off like that in this vid
Thanks for the comment!
Wheels - Black Rhino / Phone - ToughTested Mammoth Mobile Windshield Mount; I have used it for 1 yr and it works great off-road; Badlands in IN, Silverlake in MI, and DNR trails in the region/ Why Nitto over Falken AT3W's?
Thanks for the input! Went with Nitto because they provided the tires for free as part of the build.
We think alike on our upgrades😂 I'm about 3 months ahead of you. I would enjoy joining you on the camping trip. I'm in Vegas so it's close and we can compare 😅
I'm down! Get ahold of me on IG
I really like the Bullet Point mounts. They are very similar to the 67 designs you had, but I don’t have any jiggling.
As for the power station KickAss has a nice set up with or w/o the BCDC from red arc. I’m using it as my winter solution, since it’s easy to move in and out the vehicle. I did my own Renogy house battery setup in a Rigid case that I use for the above freezing months.
Would love to hear more on the custom setup you built. I love that stuff.
@@roamingwithjosh the house systems are pretty easy to setup. Just figure out who with want to get all the components from and go from there. The KickAss solution will have you up and running for storm chasing and can easily be expanded.
Quad lock case and mount; I used it for cycling so it was a no brainer to extend to the outback
How does it mount?
@@roamingwithjosh they’ve got a few styles, suction cup, vent or adhesive. I went with the adhesive on the driver side.
Great info, thank you
No worries!
Highly recommend you look into Orbis Overlanding RackWing. Its actually designed for the Crosstrek but it fits well on the Outback as well. I have one on mine that i have a storage rotopax with some tools in it on one side that has some tools and such on one side and a gas tank rotopax on the other, and i have room for at least a shovel or axe on each side still.
I'm personally not a fan of the wing ideas. I prefer to keep things on the roof if I can, just my personal take.
Everyone has their preferences. I'm short so I like being able to keep stuff down where I can reach it easily
I’ve been eyeing the Method Beadgrip rims, maybe 707 or 706, but don’t know enough about them. For power I went with a bluetti ac60 +b80, which allows me to take one out around camp and leave the b80 in the car to power the fridge (2x power inputs too, so victron 20a dc/dc off the auxbeam, roofbox mounted 100w solar, dc cig lighter, or 200w folding panels, whatever 2 are more appropriate for the day). Still looking for a good mount option for the auxbeam controller and phone mount (maybe the peak design charging one?).
Right on! Thanks for the comment! I was thinking something very similar.
Enjoy your videos. We are going to be replacing our old jeep grand Cherokee, we are trying to decide what to replace it with. We are in our late 50’s so rock crawling and extreme over landing isn’t a thing. We want a car to take on vacations that’s very reliable. We are currently considering a Subaru Outback Wilderness, Toyota 4 Runner, or a preowned Lexus GX 460. We would appreciate your input since you have probably owned them all. Thanks keep the great content coming.
I can't speak to the other cars, but I had a JGC before my first Outback, and Outback smashed my old JGC in comfort, quiet, and gas mileage. I older, too, and like the height, no driver focus system, suspension, full size spare, *great* cabin air filter (which no one talks about), and quiet of the car but *really* good sound system on the Outback Wilderness. The turbo engine is *fun,* though I limit its use to keep my gas mileage in control.
I would have to agree with the comment below. Price is also a consideration. You're going to get a used GX for about the same price as a brand new Wilderness, same with the 4runner. I absolutely love my GX, but it's just not the same kind of vehicle. If I could only have one it would be the Wilderness due to it's flexibility and overall comfort. Hope that helps!
Quad lock phone mounts are amazing, use it for my desk, car, and bike all with wireless chargers and the bike has a shock absorber.
How do they mount?
@@roamingwithjosh to your car can either be vent, suction, or adhesive. And its a phone case or can have a adhesive attachment to your current case and locks in place. So no accidents on it falling off the mount.
fan from Europe here, we only get the 2.5 :( , but still a great car. Regarding the wheels, take a look at Evo corse Dakar or Sparco terra. Evo corse is an old italian company with a long tradition on rally car wheels(with Subaru is famous for ), they are very light and durable and look great on Subaru. Same for Sparco Terra. Myself I am leaning towards Evo corse for mine. Need to sell it to the wife as well, tough :) . Tires - I would give the geolandars a chance. I had them many years ago. on Landcruiser J120 and on a Hilux. Never. had a puncture, and I was in some rough places. ( A tour of Albania comes to mind, high temperatures, very sharp rocks, last place you want to have a flat. ) Are there 10 ply grippier tires out there ? sure. But usually they come with more noise, weight and a fuel economy penalty. My 2023 Outback came with some Bridgestone alenza, a summer tire, and changed them quick to the geolandars.
Good luck with the build. !
Thank you for the info and I appreciate the insight on the wheels. I did end up going with a Sparco wheel, I did that specifically because of the weight and the offset they had. Good luck on convincing the wife!
I wonder what’s left behind in that shop besides the fork lift!
Old El Camino and a few motorcycles. Also tools and a two floor lifts. Score!
Black rhino wheels is what I did on my 24 with faulken tires
Right on! How heavy are those?
@@roamingwithjosh black rhino boxers says 17lbs
Any lift plans ?
Not this time
Regarding the tint, did you get 5 percent on all windows? How about windshield? Also, did you go with Xpel Plus Prime? Thanks. Just got my 2024 OBW.
I went with 5% on the front and 20% to cover the rears that come factory tinted. It more or less makes the rear 5% by doing so. I have the Xped Mega Mat XL single for that space.
I'm in works with working with course motorsports for a magnet mount. Just got to bring them my car. I love there Mounts. There in vt
Can you please keep me in the loop on that?? I'll be happy to promote that product. Get with me on IG
Oh, you f!@&er. I've always wanted a building just like that to turn into a photography studio. I'm so beyond envious of yet also incredibly excited for you. :)
Did you just read my mind?!?!?! The sun sets and blasts through those garage doors perfectly....
Now you're going to have to change your youtube name again: Grumpy's Custom Cycles
;-p
LOLOL
great videos and congrats on new building purchase. Question on 2024 build, have you thought about TORQ locker? I just bought a 24 outback wilderness and looking at options.
I have not considered it. I really don't believe it's needed. X-mode is plenty for this car in my opinion, but everyone has their own when it comes to that topic.
Looking forward to watching the build come along! I'm loving my own '24 OBW and it's mods so far.
Right on! Appreciate the comment!
