I respect the work on the car! I noticed you drilled into the roof rails to install the 42 inch light bar! 😂

[@Subie_OffXroad]

@@huup4389 haha ya. It ain’t going no where !

[@unsungwindham]

Subaru’s actual tagline: Love, it’s what makes Subaru a Subaru. FJB sticker on the back. Classy 👌🏼 Cool car though

[@Subie_OffXroad]

We know subies actual tag line; we all see the commercials :). “Motion in confidence,” just a statement Sarcastic? Fuck joe Biden. 🤷🏽‍♂️ Thanks.

[@TobiObito8674]

Do you use the backup camera still? If so, I assume it was rerouted to the swing?

[@Subie_OffXroad]

I still have my rear camera, I have not rerouted it yet, I’m going to reroute it to right above the brake light rather than the swing so there’s no visible wires. I’ve seen a few people on KZbin being able to do it like that as well.just haven’t pulled the trigger on it yet

[@SuperJimmy971]

Any difference between 2022 and 2024 forester wilderness that you know of. Also iron suspension is basically the same for all foresters?

[@Subie_OffXroad]

I don’t think they’ve made any changes and yes the iron man suspension will fit. Their website will narrow it down for you as well.

[@paulschapman2037]

Sick homie!!!!!

[@joshmcmillon6519]

What kind of mounting plate did you use to put the rotopax on the ladder?

[@Subie_OffXroad]

Sorry just seeing this. This mount is from NashFabCo

[@berserkerusmc7613]

Kick ass setup!

[@MemoriesOutdoors_AJ]

Where did you get the window privacy covers? Also do you have install videos of the roof rack and for all your setups?

[@Subie_OffXroad]

The rook rack was pretty easy. I’m not sure if I have any install videos but when I get my car back (locker being installed right now) I will make one of the rack and it’s set up

[@MemoriesOutdoors_AJ]

Thank you! Yes upload the install please

[@adrianruiz8690]

Where did you get that stearing wheel cover?

[@Subie_OffXroad]

Honestly… AutoZone. It was like $15 lol Looked like topography so I had to snag it

[@CodyWardTV]

Where did you get the molle racks for the visors?

[@Subie_OffXroad]

I’ve done so much more, ha ha. I’m gonna make an updated video. But I found them on Amazon. They’re pretty cheap. Actually they come in two different thicknesses and the couple different companies make them in aluminum and plastic. The aluminum is obviously more expensive.

[@bigJport]

Would just having a tire swing with a full spare, rock sliders, and skids be enough extra weight for spec-c? That's around 250lbs permanent weight with some recovery gear. More weight when going out adventuring but just the 250lbs for daily. It's on a Crosstrek also. I've seen multiple posts here and there about the medium loads sagging but can't seem to get or find an answer on when to choose one load rating over the other. I'm stuck with trying to figure out if spec-c will be too stiff for that weight or if the medium will sag.

[@Subie_OffXroad]

I would go c kit. It won’t be too stiff, promise you that. I’d rather have a Kyle stiff than saggy ass. Include yourself, a passenger or two, and more gear. Same price.. I’d 100% go C-kit.

[@caseymilan7214]

Where did u get the hood vents looks sick🤙🔥

[@Subie_OffXroad]

CarID.com universal duralast. Cut and sealed them bitches in. Thanks!! 🙌🏼

[@alfredleyva815]

When you installed your cold air intake, is it throwing a check engine code? Or did you need to get it tuned?

[@Subie_OffXroad]

No sir. No light on. I haven’t retuned it and no problems . I prob should get it tuned but even with the billet blocks, they say there’s no need to. I just reset by battery

[@AidenAizumi]

Did you have any issues with the weight of the ladder on the trunk hatch? I was reading that some folks face issues with the struts not being able to take the weight.

[@Subie_OffXroad]

Funny you say that. I just literally got stronger struts delivered today so I’ll probably try to put them in this weekend. Here’s the link for Amazon. They also make them for OBW Lift Supports Depot Qty (2) Fits... www.amazon.com/dp/B0BT9HSP8Z?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

[@AidenAizumi]

@@Subie_OffXroad Awesome. Good to know there is a relatively easy solution.

[@onlysujayin]

Did those struts help? I've been searching for one for a while now for my Forrester Wilderness

[@Subie_OffXroad]

@@onlysujayin I think they do. I removed my front sway bar as well.

[@ImaYam]

@@Subie_OffXroadwait why’d u remove the front sway bar??

[@ImaYam]

My man I just ordered a green FW going from all white cars lol did you do any paint filt protection? My old suubs chipped easily. What was the hitch swing out attachment? Also saw something you’d like; it’s the Anderson small rear interior window molle kit.. which Molle kit did you use on the inside front doors?

[@Subie_OffXroad]

Sweet!! I love the green! I have Dirtcom trail swing. I haven’t used any paint protection - and I should have but I do have some pin-striping. And the interior front molle is ADF, it’s just a standard one, not specific for any vehicle. I’ve seen the interior ones, they are expensive haha.

[@Dannnnnnnnny]

What’s your mpg like ?

[@Subie_OffXroad]

Highway 19-22. In town like 14-16 ha. 🤷🏽‍♂️ it is what it is

[@bugoutfozzy]

Just a heads up on that spout for your Rotopax. Mine weathered within 4 months when I left it on and it just snapped right off there. I do live in Phoenix but it’s garaged most of the time. 🤙🏻

[@Subie_OffXroad]

Mine already snapped off. It’s a piece of shit for $50. Ha

[@bugoutfozzy]

@@Subie_OffXroad Yeah, man! I was like, WTF just happened. 😂

[@Subie_OffXroad]

I went and bought a water spout from ai13.us/ I love it

[@runlikeachicken]

Wait a minute😮 did I hear a 1.5 lift kit on top of the 2 inch iron man suspension? Didn’t even thought about that on my OBW 🤯 . I might take this idea. Any cons on this method in your opinion?

[@Subie_OffXroad]

Yes you heard that right. I haven’t had any problems whatsoever. (Knock on wood) The more clearance the better but it’s maxed out that’s for sure. It’s 1 3/8” on top so total 3 3/8”. I’m sure you could get extra 1/4” out of it for sure!! Only CON is it might not be 100% aligned so will have to perhaps rotate more often. Worth it to me.

[@runlikeachicken]

@@Subie_OffXroad right on man🤘

[@AidenAizumi]

Bro. I tried to do the @cruxmotor corner light vinyl 3 times. Failed all three times. Decided I wasted too much money with my dumb skills.

[@Subie_OffXroad]

I feel you. I haven’t tried again yet. Then corners are a bitch.

[@subaruforester5062]

Turn your phone sideways man. We can see things bigger lol

[@Subie_OffXroad]

Good call. I suck haha I’ll make another this afternoon.. I’ve done some things
