Sweet Subaru. I have a couple jeeps and overlanding sounds like a lot of fun. Maybe someday.
Always had a soft spot for these wagons. Dope rig!
These foresters are so capable it’s crazy
I plan on doing adf 2.5” lower and 3” upper plan on clearing 31’s, prolly forceum m/t’s, cant beat a full set for $400. I am doing this on my 99 fozy and it will be in the next few weeks, i will try to make videos of the build as i go.
That sounds sick. Good luck dude!
Dude, thank you for your work in this.
You’re welcome!
Another banger
Thank you sir!
Thank you for this video! Loving the Forester content!!
There is plenty more to come!
Hello, Your video is very nice.
Can you please post a list of all the parts that you have on that car to include tires/wheels along with specs of tires/wheels?
Certainly! I will work on that tonight and add it to the description.
@@TheCreateOutdoors Any update?
All set
Thank you
Wondering about cooling
( I had friends 20 years ago swapping to bigger radiators in Arizona)
I would be interested in knowing about Subaru
Radiator cross compatibility
Don't really know about that one, I have never seen that done before.
@@TheCreateOutdoors
Understood, I have only seen it done in pickup trucks .
i noticed the NH plates, where in NH can i go off roading, or new england in general
As far as VT, NH, and Maine go, the only places seem to be in the white mountains and north from there. There is a spot in Thompson CT you can trail on as well. I live in a dead zone and haven’t had much time to explore a lot in the area.
I don't mod my daily drivers. i dont think its worth it. Factory trims like Trailhawk, Wilderness, PRO4X, and TRD are incredibly capable offroad from the factory. Maybe a front leveling kit, slightly bigger tires, a pair of AUX lights, front lightbar of some sort, and crossbars with seasonal sport carriers are really all i need. No drilling, cutting, or anything for hard offroad use. If you're gonna go that route maybe buy something cheap with minimal insurance coverage and make it into a project. I did that with a 97 Wrangler. Its got holes in the floor pan but its street legal and i dont care if i hit a rock.
While this is certainly the most ideal option, not everyone has that option. Until last spring I did not have a new daily driver, and years before the Wilderness wasn't even a thing yet. Regardless that little 2005 Forester didn't need all those mods in the beginning, but over time, it was reaching its limits.
From being in car culture, when you have only one car, most of the time you aren't going to wait to have the money to buy another car, even if it makes more sense to.
When it comes time to replace my struts, can I install new struts that would provide a higher lift and avoid a positive camber? This way I would be replacing my worn struts and increasing my lift.
I mean you could offroad coilovers instead but those are quite expensive. I haven’t found top hats with camber adjustment in them.
So is your lift kit 2” ADF lift kit? What size tires can fit with it? What size tires are yours and do they cause rubbing? Thanks
2.5" lift. I would suggest watching my other videos in this series, they will answer a lot of your questions!
do this affect a lift i. specific? i mean 1" will require the axels and that? or for higher lift is mandatory for security
For a one inch lift kit not much will change in regards to suspension dynamics. That’s why there are more 1” kits available than other sizes. I didn’t have to install any of those other parts until I was up to 2.5”. Well, except for trailing arm spacers and camber bolts.
