SUPER SWEET. There is nothing better than a small off roader that puts the big boys to shame.

[@lukegenesis]

Mate this is bloody epic! My Hilux got written off recently and was looking into a forester. This may just sway me over 😍

[@flynbenny]

That is the neatest Forester ever. I’m in USA and looking into building a Foz for off road use, already own two Subarus, so why not have another.

[@AllDriveSubaroo]

If you're keen on a dual range upgrade, speak to Zach at The ZF Design in Colorado, he's our US distributor for Dual Range transmissions

[@flynbenny]

AllDriveSubaroo Thanks, I just looked him up. He’s only about 110 km from me, good thing I live in Colorado.

I need this in my life.

Great build. I have a 2010 forester xt and wanted to know where did you get the fenders, snorkel and the front bumper.

[@destnations5588]

I love this version of an SH, I wish mine was half as capable as this, damn auto na ej hahaha

[@vincentwindels3752]

Nice build ! Now you need long travel suspension.....

[@charlie2king]

Where can U get a bullbar like that?

[@pantoffelslippers]

Nice mate. Do you know how is the 4 speed auto box?

[@davidm.7670]

How do you like those Chinese aftermarket headlights?

[@gizzyguzzi]

I'd be more interested to know what the oncoming drivers think of them!

[@foresterboy2011]

Hello fella, amazing rig you've got there. Jealous as hell mate... I've not long ago purchased a 3rd gen manual diesel forester and wish I'd bought the petrol version (my mistake). How much did you spend on all your modifications as I'm interested to know because I quite fancy what you've achieved with your forester... please advise

[@Pathyilmathai]

really? i love my diesel. So much more cheaper to run than the gas guzzling XT

@@Pathyilmathai Hello Ozzie im in the process of converting mine to an overlander. Fitted a roof cage to house the spare so I can use the space for storage. Been watching some vlogs to build a DIY 270 degree awning. Then its the pullout kitchen build. Lots todo still. What you done with your rig Ozzie.

@@Pathyilmathai Hi Ozzie, sorry its been so long. If you follow SOFTROADING THE WEST's channel, he uses a gazelle tent and gives you the low down on the said tent model. He's the inspiration for my forester. What you been doing to your subie lately ???

[@rustystauffer5481]

The Subie looks great. Is there any way we could see the levers/controls that actuate the dual range? I just got a trans with dual range & want to install the lever in my Outback. Thank you!

[@AllDriveSubaroo]

It is a standard Subaru Forester lever

[@rustystauffer5481]

Ok. I'll have a look at the interior of a Forester. Every time I googled "Subaru dual range", nothing showed up. (Clearly, I'm a novice with Subaru's. Lol.) Thanks, mate!

[@guzzijoejoe9341]

Superb mate.

[@daleoldfield7961]

[@AllDriveSubaroo]
