Exploring Little Desert - Border Track Trip Pt.1

[@ALNSMOVERLAND]

What a nice episode ! Can't wait for part 2 ... and more ! I say that in every Oz or US video but ... Damn ! I'm so jealous of your trails and beautiful wild areas !

[@ignitionoffroad5028]

Yea, Australia offers some very vast and varying landscapes. Truly an epic place to explore!

[@jamesmeadrs9309]

Beautiful!! Got room for me and my Crosstrek?

[@ignitionoffroad5028]

James Meadørs always happy to wheel with any Offroad subies

[@YoureLEV]

whos great idea was it to take dads discovery

[@ignitionoffroad5028]

The guy who organised the Subaru trip and doesn't have a Subaru himself haha

[@torreVs]

Very steep hill; maybe some snow chains are useful in such conditions.

[@CarswithNash]

I hate sand! Lol!

[@toddydahotty5721]

Thinking of doing a 2" lift with 215/70/16 AT. Anyone have experience with this similar build and how much of a MPG drop you get?

[@ignitionoffroad5028]

Heaps of people are running that tyre size on foresters. If your on facebook, go check out a group called foztrek and those guys will be able to give you more info

[@greym6436]

Like how your snorkel face was turned backwards on purpose as to avoid the dust hetting into your clean air system! 😉👌👍

[@ignitionoffroad5028]

A.C. S. I looked at the air filter the next morning and almost no dust in it which was perfect!

[@v26224]

do you recon an auto would have made it?

[@ignitionoffroad5028]

Well in this example the white XT was an auto so maybe not? I suppose it really depends more on tyre pressures and diffs

[@v26224]

@@ignitionoffroad5028 might just jump in with my mate then

[@ignitionoffroad5028]

@@v26224 are you heading for a trip out that way? I would still recommend you have a go with your foz

[@v26224]

@@ignitionoffroad5028 yeah I got invited along on a trip with a mate. Don’t want to push the foz . He has already had to tow me home after working the foz a bit hard in the high country.

[@joshhorton1989]

Great video and awesome track! What tyre pressures were you running on the last hill?

[@ignitionoffroad5028]

I was running 15psi

[@foresterboy2011]

Hi mitre, you've used Sarah n tuned vlogs theme tune...

[@ignitionoffroad5028]

Well there you go! There’s a handful of copyright free music heaps of KZbinr’s use so there is always going to be people using the same music.

[@sebsshenanigans]

man, subarus really are the best car to buy if you want to do everything, just need an sti engine swap ;)

[@ethan928]

Got any details on that l-series? Has it had an engine swap?

[@ignitionoffroad5028]

Ethan 92 www.subyclub.com/topic/10526-slightly-modified-l-series-subaru-ruby-scoo/ this is his build thread

[@ghammy1201]

I don't know know about the ausie Forester but the American one doesn't have a low range gear box and that's how I have seen people get stuck in sand. Maybe a tune would hel

[@ignitionoffroad5028]

gil hamilton I think I could have made it without the weight of the tent and all the camping gear. I think it was just too heavy and got bogged down

[@cowdogfishcat]

i found what worked for me in soft uphill dunes was tyre pressures below 20 psi and a hell of a lot of entry speed

[@ignitionoffroad5028]

Lochi How agreed! I was running 15psi for this one, however the entry into the hill had a corner that washed out all the speed, and not to mention it was a very difficult dune! From memory about 160m high and there where no wheel marks at the top so no one had made it recently

[@ghammy1201]

Lochi How yeah I've heard you need to plow through everything at at least 11mph on the old ej20 gearboxes

[@9THR33]

cool vid ! did the Tribeca (B9) ever make it to the land down under? i have one here in the States, love it... but there is no aftermarket for it. anything over there for it ?

[@ignitionoffroad5028]

Tribeca did make it to Australia, however was never successful and therefore there is very little aftermarket support.

[@9THR33]

@@ignitionoffroad5028 man did they screw up with the 06, 07 model B9... no one liked that grill. really put a sour taste in everyone's mouth....

[@ignitionoffroad5028]

Agreed, probably the ugliest Subaru ever made

[@sergioneri1698]

I have an 09 Tribeca. I have ankoo Anderson Design Fab 2in lift kit. I was going to get a Subie Lift Oz but Matt had to design one from scratch and I had requested it as the new accent was coming out so obviously he was busy with the new car. My IG is @expedition.tribeca

[@jimmeh213]

great camera work and editing mate. Loving these eps!

[@jeffparryncc1701]

When are you guys going to Cape York in the Subie? Now there's a viral video. New Sub, Cheers 🍻(oh, and yes, you need your own show)

[@MAVORlC]

Jeff Parry This is his show

[@jeffparryncc1701]

@@MAVORlC lol, Mitre A is not like 4WD Action, Roothy, All for Adventure, 4x4 Adventure Club with a huge production budet plus major sponsors and DVD's sales now is it Mav. These are what I class as a "show". I wish Mitre A to be this big with his Subaru adventures. Saying all that, Mitre A is still really enjoyable to watch. Also bluefox4848 is back too fellow Subie watchers.

[@ignitionoffroad5028]

Also check out ALNSM Overland, one of my personal favourite subie offroad channels! Anyway, thanks for the support guys. I don't think I will ever go big but I'm enjoying what I'm doing and learning a lot along the way. Cape York has crossed my mind but first I need a custom driveline and new monster lift kit, before I even think about any of that haha
