    I just rented one of these in Anchorage and drove it to Hatcher Pass, Talkeetna and finally Denali National Park. I stayed in a Cabin just past Healy and the drive up the mountain to get there was very steep and rugged and required a 4x4. This Outback made it up and down that mountain several times with no issues whatsoever. I put about 800 miles on it in 3 days and had a blast!

      @@tj6111 LP is like $700. It’s a spacer lift made from stainless steel. The Ironman kit is a full shock and spring combo so it’s more like a proper lift which is why it’s a lower lift on the Wilderness. It’s a 2” lift for a regular OB but since the OBW is like 0.8” higher, you end up with about 1.2” lift. The end result is 10.7” of ground clearance on stock size tires. You’ll get another 0.5” going to 245-65-17 tires

    He called the Service Manager on speaker phone so I could listen, he asked him if the Transmission has a 10 year Warranty on it ?
    The Service Manager checked on his computer and replied Yes it does have a 10 Year Warranty.

Better to need it and not have it than need it and not have it.

    hi there so! I have watch your videos and I like how you upgraded the tires on your subaru O.B. W. than those crapy factory Geolanders they put on them. However putting on those BF GOODRICH A/T is not any better choose cuz there are a limted in the mud/loose sands/soft dirt. Also you did a 2" lift on it so far that look like is the doing great job. My suggestion is try a differant rim/ tires setup. try using a 15"x10x50 rims with a Discoverer STT Pro or a FALKEN WILDPEAK M/T. sense you still using the stock wheel/rim that came with it. You can,t realy air down those 17" rims to do a better offroading without poping the rim bead or bending the rims. Watch a SUZUKI JIMMY runnin B.F. GOODRICH KM3 on 15"x10x50 30" tires and 2" lift did evey thing you did but could much harder Terrain as you did. So if you do try to do those upgrade setups I bet you susbaru will handle alot more better doing those offroad trails you made your videos with.

    These are pretty good man the Subaru wilderness looks like it's right there above the compass Trailhawk and maybe right there with the broncosport. If you lift it maybe you'll get the same angles are better as a broncosport I think.
    I don't think it's above the Cherokee Trailhawk though.

    What's your approach angle with the 2" lift and 245/65R17s?
