Any time - hope it helped!

Thanks! Glad it helped!!!

Thanks!!!

Still having problems? Message me via my page on Facebook.

Hi, that would actually work, and is probably the least destructive way to solve the issue.

Glad I could help!

Glad it helped!!!

Harbor Freight, I think.

So glad it helped!

You should be able to *carefully* remove the Eyesight cover and flex the headliner a little bit to make it fall out - just make sure you don't accidentally create another issue by dropping it into your vents. I'd cover the defrost vents before trying.

Glad it helped!

You should have seen the family of white skunks that visited us while we were hammock camping at the top. LOL!

@@SubaruAmbassadorRobert Sounds like a stinky situation!!! LOL!!

@@Kiss__Kiss thank goodness they weren't phased by our presence and didn't spray us - though we got little sleep that night, lol!!!

Sadly, yes, they need to be replaced, and all the learning values need to be reset, and the system will need calibration. Prices vary considerably across the country due to differences in parts markups and labor, so, I'd shop around near you.

@@SubaruAmbassadorRobert aight thanks a lot this really helped. This issue has been bugging me for a while so thank you.

Not the Ascent. Perhaps other model?

Awesome! It's such a fun car, and it's nice owning a car that's so capable (I can't justify a truck, as cool as that would be lol). My Ascent is also my daily. 😊

@@SubaruAmbassadorRobert That's very true. I want to get a Toyota 3rd row, but AWD isn't as capable as the Subaru. I rather have safety over reliability. I have a family too and feel as the Ascent will protect my family during winter.

Glad you liked it! Hope it helped!

The rack is one of my favs. It's the Rola Vortex (or V-Tex in some listings), with an 18" extension. It's super well built. If you plan on putting heavy stuff on your roof, I highly recommend it. WITH the extension, it's at the maximum my Ascent can fit (and still be able to open the liftgate). So, for an OB, I'd probably skip the extension. For a Crosstrek or Forester, I'd *definitely* skip the extension. On my FB profile, there's pics of it without the extension - still quite a big rack (the earlier pic is with the extension). I recommend doing what the Amazon reviewers say, and touch up the weld areas with some Krylon Fusion, and use some petroleum jelly in the joints under the rubber seals. I didn't - and while the rack is still solid, after 4 years of abuse, you can start to see some paint chipping in a few (very few) places. Here's the rack: amzn.to/3XpivQG Here's the extension: amzn.to/46q3Ad5 Eventually, I will be custom building an aluminum rack, but only because I want a little more width for my overlanding setup. The holders are by Orbis Overland. Look up their rack wing. Fits most Subies that have racks. Very good quality.

Blue or white? And no, if you have the steel PCV valve, which you should, this won't change that.

Blue. Occasionally only. Oil level is correct as well. Well maintained oil change 5000 miles or less. What is the PCV is plugged? Would it cause the blue smoke?

@@alphaomega750 that's odd. I'd have it checked out.

Good question! Yes, an alternative is to organize content in folders, but, that doesn't guarantee a play order of the individual files. Also, some of us organize our music by albums (eg: Band->album->tracks). Also, some of us have some of the same songs in multiple playlists. For instance, in I have a general "Techno & D&B" playlist that has a mix of things that are fast, slow or in between. I also have one for focus that has only the ones with certain beat styles or other musical qualities. So, instead of having the same song in 3 different folders, I simply employ a few playlists. So, for some people, I think the folder method is a perfect (and easier) method. For other people, playlists really help.

Thanks!

So glad it helped!!!

Yep, agreed! This was done ages ago, before I had better gear for in car filming. I am thinking of redoing it if I can find the time.

Thanks! Liquid Metal Shadows, 17" with factory size matching 245/65R17 tires. They require special balancing though, which makes them a pain.

LOL! Thanks! It does help.

Having fun and never going in over my head is never stupid.

Permatex Ultra Grey... check out the info in the description for details to find out all the technical parts.

245/65R17 because it matches OEM tire dimensions exactly. But, there are only 6 different 17" wheels we've found that clear the front calipers and can carry the Ascent's weight. They require special balancing too.

That sadly depends on if something came loose (then usually yes it can be fixed) or if the housing snapped out (usually can be fixed) or the housing cracked (needs to be replaced).

It's not a Wilderness badge... it's a custom design, being replace this week actually, with an Off Road Roos badge frmo @offroadroos

It normally rides on a bigger lift than that (6.5cm), but we had a part failure during this trip, before we got there, that forced us to lower it, below OEM height, sadly. Either way, the mud was the biggest problem. We dragged hundreds of pounds of clay mud with the underside of the car. It took weeks to get it all out from underneath.

Спасибо за ответ) Теперь всё понятно. Я выбираю между Субару Акцент и Джип гранд чероки WK 2 3,6л. Субару более драйверский, джип настоящий внедорожник) В России мы до сих пор очень ценим Трибека, многие в очень хорошем состоянии и модификации. Есть даже свои мужские Трибека клубы)

@@ВладимирВладимиров-р7ц if you like the Tribeca, you will probably LOVE the Ascent. It's comfier, much more powerful, and even better off road (check out some of my other vids). I off road the Ascent all over the country, and have a very comfortable time because with all the extra room, I bring a fridge/freezer, stoves, big tent, queen size bed, and all the comforts of home. I eat steak and eggs and drink hot coffee for breakfast in the desert - I don't even do that at home. lol!!! 😜 If you plan on rock crawling, definitely get the Jeep. The Ascent has a long wheelbase and big front nose, so, it is horrible at rock crawling.

Приятных путешествий))

Ummm.... it's the engineers who deemed the sound normal, just so you know. Metal makes sounds when it grabs like that. It's like the TR690's loud chain whirring... normal too, even if people don't like it (and believe me, people HATED it when it first came out - you should see some of the stuff Car & Drive wrote).

@@SubaruAmbassadorRobert I work in software development, if you can show me that was "design by" then sure.. if not it's just he said, she said because it doesn't kill any customers.

@@HbYu-yt7ek you can literally look up the TSB's on this and see what the software is doing. Not sure why you made up a conclusion before you researched. It's all public information. You can also get an STIS subscription and start training on the HT-TR690 - alas, I can't confer years of learning about how it works in a KZbin reply. The system pressurizes, but allows the forward/reverse changeover mechanism to engage before it is pressurized for FAST engage, because doing so causes no damage. The clutch pack slow engagement makes the "chirp" as it engages and locks. The software prioritizes pressurizing the variators, then the input clutch. The F/R changeover just needs to reach full engagement in a second or so and it then stays that way until hydraulically disengaged (eg: "shifting" into neutral). BTW, since you think it's relevant, I'm currently the Director of Infrastructure for a state agency, with a background in programming, software development, hardware systems and cybersecurity, with around 4 decades of experience. That too you can research - you will find it on LinkedIn.

Thanks! Yeah, that's something that we wanted to do, but we didn't have extra mic packs. All the in-camera on-car mics pick up most of the time is wind noise. We've got four "in-device" tiny mic packs now that we can mount in or on the car in various places like up in the windshield cowl area out of the wind, etc, that can grab some nice road and car noise. We've also started running extra cams out of the wind to grab some audio. When we do some of the slower stuff, we get some nice car audio, like in some of the "normal speed" video sections in our "Moab Madness" video. But mostly, when moving even at those speeds (15-30 mph), the audio mostly sounds like a wind storm, lol!

Thanks! 17" Liquid Metal Shadows wrapped with 245/65R17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. If you need a hybrid all-terrain/mud-terrain, I *highly* recommend them, otherwise, the Falken Wildpeak AT3W's are an awesome choice that's a little bit more road friendly yet very capable off road.

In some of the videos - definitely in this vid.

Thanks much! Glad they helped!

Thank you! Join us next time if you're near one of our cleanups. Check out Off Road Roos Community on Facebook for all sorts of adventures.

So glad it helped!!!

My pleasure!! And thanks much for the kind words!!!

Hmmm... The Ascent is beastly powerful like the Outback Wilderness, and (with sway bars connected) can articulate any corner fully, unlike the smaller Subies, so that's a big plus. But, it has a MASSIVE belly and horrible angles, so, it hands down loses in those areas compared to all three Wildernesses. It does climb pretty effortlessly though, in some ways, better than the three Wildernesses, if it's moderately rutted, because it can keep wheels on the ground on changing terrain. Out of the factory, I'd choose a Wilderness over an Ascent though - the Ascent needs a bunch of work to make it off-road suitable (wheels, tires, stuff to improve angles). And if power is what you want, the Outback Wilderness is the clear winner. But, all three are great options. For better angles and a decent amount of space, I'd go Forester Wilderness. If you don't carry around a lot, and want something with great angles, I'd definitely go Crosstrek Wilderness.

Glad it helped!!!

Why would it be hot? It's got an OEM cooler. It runs VERY cool most of the time. Check out this vid... 165°F after spending all day climbing 4x4 trails in the desert. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqCYaWuBpK14aNEsi=FGBHKgdaAvtw8l8n&t=1125
