Crosstrek vs Jeep! Crosstrek Offroading With Jeep [Ladee Flats Trail 800]

[@PrepperStateofMind]

I owned a Jeep just like that. This is a testament to how good Subaru’s are

[@Long_Island_Justin]

Subaru just needs off-road bumpers and it’s perfect

[@crustyoverlanding]

Yeah approach angle needs to be better

[@flynnryan25]

We need more horsepower….the Subaru turbo Diesel engine which they sell outside of America would be perfect.

[@RKmndo]

Yeah, my Crosstrek's plastic bumpers seem pretty vulnerable compared to my YJ's steel bumpers. The Crosstrek also has a similar advantage to many other offroadable vehicles, like the Wranglers and XJs have... aftermarket traction diffs are available.

[@frh-freerangehuman]

That Suby looks awesome with the aggressive tires. I have a soft spot for Subaru, to the point that I convinced my two teen sons to split on a 15 Forrester. It’s been good other than x-mode isn’t as good in snow as expected. Myself I bought a bronco sport badlands but still feel Subaru is a good vehicle. Love seeing them doing this stuff when other channels show how they ‘can’t’

[@crustyoverlanding]

It can do anything as long as you FULL SEND haha

[@freedom_foz_6337]

Man the scenery is nothing short of majestic! The Forrest doesn’t look bad either lol.

[@duncangardner6533]

I've owned both a '99 Cherokee Sport and a '16 Crosstrek. The in line 6 and the dual range 4X4 of the Cherokee can't be beat. However, the Subaru is a superior vehicle.

[@crustyoverlanding]

Yeah I’m shocked at the AWD system

[@crustyoverlanding]

Yeah definitely do

Great video clip 👍 and Great Adventure 👍💪. Enjoy Life while we still young... with friends and family.... Yeeeaaahaaaaa 😂

Nice job Subaru with Lift your good, but yeah you tore that Subaru up good

[@HomesteadOnThePreserve]

My wife owns a 2005 Jeep and I'm getting a 2022 Crosstrek Limited so of course I loved this video! Very fun watching and I'm looking forward to checking out more of your content. Keep up the great work!

[@tlopez2608]

Love that boxer rumble! What exhaust do you have on that? And what’s the tire specs? Them tires barely fit up under there.

[@crustyoverlanding]

Tbh don’t remember the tire specs might have said something on another comment but I just did a muffler delete went to my local exhaust guy and welded on on a new tip

[@Deetroiter]

The wet forests and mud reminds me of Michigan. Looks like a lot of fun!

[@crustyoverlanding]

Yeah sadly this all burnt down a few weeks ago but plenty of other places to go

[@Deetroiter]

[@brandondannys-menary3678]

I love it there, it's only like 25min from my house. Sucks that it's closed down due to the fires, cant wait for summer to be over lol

[@crustyoverlanding]

Yeah we managed to get in right before the fires!

[@Xenophene01]

Do you have enough space for the spare tire or is it the regular spare tire? And what muffler does the Subie have? It sounds amazing.

[@crustyoverlanding]

Its actually just a muffler delete with a tip welded on. Any of your local shops will do it for you. Costed me $100 And I never bought a spare tire just the same one that came with the car. I just had insurance on my own tires

[@panzerkind2190]

@@crustyoverlanding I have a '17 Crosstrek similarly kitted out with A/T tires. I have a roof basket up top similar to yours and I carry a full-sized spare up there. I use the donut spare compartment for tools. I live in Nevada and all our trails are super rocky, so a full-sized spare is a must-have in my opinion. If you get a flat 200 miles out in the boonies that donut will do fuck all for you.

[@crustyoverlanding]

Yeah I had a full size spare in the back wasn’t a donut 🍩

[@krul910]

@@crustyoverlanding daaamn. Would've be a good opportunity for the community tho. Clearing trails n making path. Im pretty sure 4x4 guys would love that.

[@crustyoverlanding]

That’s a great idea! I’ll definitely hit up some local Overlanding shops and see if they can round of a crowd to cut some new trails!

[@tyl3rj2]

What work has been done under the hood to the cross trek? Or is it just a good exhaust? 👍

[@crustyoverlanding]

Just a muffler delete! I wouldn’t touch the engine cause Subarus are known to blow as soon as you start messing with them

[@davidvenegas6401]

Subaru was like......did that opening move just to trick you.

[@pinoywheelgunner]

Are lower gears available for crosstrek? I imagine the engine laboring when pulling through the soft stuff when equipped with the bigger tires

[@crustyoverlanding]

Yeah but it’s probably real expensive cause it would have to be custom

[@Jmoney72030]

Is that stock suspension on the crosstrek? And damn that exhaust not is pretty solid!

[@crustyoverlanding]

Yeah stock suspension just have lift block spacers 2 inch. Yeah the exhaust is just a muffler delete but I love how it sounds!

[@joshhenning2043]

just bought a 21 crosstrek. would love to get out and do this.. but i’d hate to do that to my bumper!

[@crustyoverlanding]

Yeah I went a bit extreme haha

[@jeepcommiehunter176]

Then get a jeep!!

[@mattropolis99]

I have a cross trek - the jeep has way more clearance, and you put much bigger tires that standard on your subi. This just shows you can drive the subi on some regular forest roads - as we well know.

[@crustyoverlanding]

Nah took it on some crazy trails in cascade locks too

[@sampruitt4906]

Obviously a Crosstrek cant do hardcore rock crawling, but there is advantage to driving one. You get 8.7 inches of ground clearance and an incredible AWD system, while still maintaining 30mpg if your running it stock. You can drive a crosstrek on rutted out, rocky, and slippery roads without worrying about getting stuck. This car is not a jeep, but it is a practical daily driver with most of the capabilities of a jeep.

[@crustyoverlanding]

Exactly, couldn’t say it better myself

[@schuylerhecht8253]

I've owned a 92 jeep Cherokee sport back in 2001 and today I have a 17 crosstrek..by far the crosstrek is better in the snow...huh...go figure

[@crustyoverlanding]

Yeah I was blown away at that too! I was on the mountain with 3 Cherokees and they obviously beat me at rock crawling and missing but in the snow they got stuck and I just kept of going

[@mmiller1188]

I have a 00 Cherokee and 18 forester. On the road in the snow the Forester is significantly better.

[@crustyoverlanding]

Yeah the AWD by Subaru is amazing

[@jeepcommiehunter176]

Yep bring that subi out in the desert with me! Good luck softroaders!!

[@crustyoverlanding]

I’ll bring the new rig out 😉 almost got it mechanically ready

[@evanevan2312]

those tires look good on the crosstrek! what brand and size are they?

[@crustyoverlanding]

I appreciate it!

[@sundalo916]

Awesome video. In the market for a Crosstrek myself. What year is this one if you don't mind me asking?

[@crustyoverlanding]

This is a 2017 the year before they changed the model to the new body style! Feel free to ask any questions and if you ever want photos or anything DM me on Instagram at Crusty_Overlanding

[@uberdang830]

The clutch is not gonna last. However I'm going to long travel my crosstreck.

[@crustyoverlanding]

Haha yeah I was making a commercial with a company and ended up blowing the clutch 😂 did a clutch swap in 10 hours haha

[@steliosieronymakis2480]

In very steep ascents the Sub is gutless due to lack of low range.

Take those swaybars off! Lol

[@crustyoverlanding]

You think it would make a big difference? I was going pretty fast at some spots so didn’t wanna ruine it

[@MB-nn3rx]

@@crustyoverlanding It gives you more noticeable body roll cornering on the street but you have way more flex offroad. More contact for less daily driver handling. It's a trade off 🤷‍♂️

[@martinr8278]

Why?

[@21ZacDUDE]

Is that subie even lifted??

[@crustyoverlanding]

Yessir! 2 inch block lift and bigger tires. Wish I could go bigger but 235/75/15 were the biggest tire I could fit and I had to cut my fenders with that size

I had ordered a 2020 crosstrek with a 6 speed until the horrible dealership pissed me off to the point where I ended up walking away from the deal. Ended up finding a 2004 wrangler instead with 50,000km which I bought in cash, absolutely no regrets. Still like the crosstrek but, damn do I hate the new car buying experience lol

[@crustyoverlanding]

Yeah honestly great choice!

[@trevr1969]

What wheel set up on the crosstreck... the back one didnt seem to have much in the way of clearence... was the crosstrek lifted in any way? Great video... thanks for the upload

[@crustyoverlanding]

Yeah! So I was running a 2 inch spacer black lift with 235/75/15 with KM3 mud terrain tires and black rhino rumble wheels I had to take an angle grinder to cut small parts that’s were rubbing but it’s like excess stuff that you don’t need and you can make it look very flush.

@@crustyoverlanding this is so true. Sadly very few options to remedy this because of how the bumper off made. So cut cut cut

[@vectraB97]

It has a very long front end like the wrx. That's probably on of the reasons why Subaru has 5star plus safety rating in it's class. Tesla's take more damage in small overlap crash test. Moderate risk of lower foot injury in Tesla model 3 and model S. No risk of foot injury in subaru. The wide motor probably also absorbers energy in a crash.
