  • Can you really drive from Vancouver to Calgary in just one day? Join us as we take on this epic road trip once again! In this video, we attempt the nearly 1,000 km road trip from Vancouver to Calgary in a single day-a feat we've failed to achieve before.
    Along the way, we'll navigate the lush coastal regions, endure the scorching heat in Kamloops, and conquer the rugged Rocky Mountains. Will we finally make it, or will we face another setback on this BC road trip? You'll have to watch to find out!
    The Forester: Built over a few years the 2004 Subaru Forester XS was built to test the limits of what is capable in an early 2000's Subaru with bolt-ons. Created for overlanding adventures it takes on the hardest offroad trails while having everything for camping. The Forester features: custom interior, rooftop tent, ARB rack with custom mounts, high clearance bumper, winch, Hella lights, transmission cooler, sway bar delete, offroad coilovers, AT tires, Beadlock wheels, overland kitchen and engine and trans skid plates. And to many people's surprise often keeping up with full-size 4x4s.

    Longest 1 day trip was from Dryden, Ontario (breakfast), lunch in Brandon, Manitoba, supper in Moose Jaw, and slept in Medicin Hat. 1420 km. Left at 6am, went to two time changes and stopped at 9:00 pm, with one driver. We actually made it from Timmins, Ontario to Victoria BC in 3.5 days.
