MOST BUILT OVERLAND CROSSTREK? | RIG WALKTHROUGH

[@Doug_Hefernen]

The strain on that CVT trans.

[@dwaynedwayne1964]

How to get your whole garage in a compact SUV....that was impressive! Dude you got more stuff in that little car than I would have in a big bus!!

[@thetrailtrek]

He’s has that thing built! It’s a beast!

[@DominicanRev]

What is the fuel economy on that rig I would be curious to know.

[@mingrui1862]

The fact that he hasn't answered this comment yet, leads me to guess it is an abysmal figure.

[@Questionthis1]

Stock Crosstrek with just a spare tire in the trunk already chugs when going up a mountain. Can’t imagine this car ever leaves first gear and probably tops out at 25mph.

[@cheeto4240]

probably 18mpg

[@RaytheonNublinski]

@@Questionthis1yeah the motor is a dog. Idk why Subaru made this brilliant little car then sabotaged it with a 💩 engine

[@mullink]

This thing is absurdly decked out, i love it!

[@LukeVillanueva]

That was insane. Cool seeing what's possible with the crosstrek. Thanks to both of yall.

[@thetrailtrek]

It’s is insane! Thanks for tuning in!

[@frankfrankenstein5933]

I would love to see this setup on the new Crosstrek Wilderness! Nicely done!👍

[@veganpotterthevegan]

Extra plies are a catch22...a lower ply tire will be more flexible and have better traction for its given size. The weight it also important with our poorly geared Subies.

[@thetrailtrek]

Agreed! Thanks for tuning in!

[@j.martin4476]

That’s hilarious and amazing… this guy and his crosstrek is more legit than 98% Jeep wrangler owners 😂

[@PNW-ADV]

...parked in a parking lot maybe. A stock jeep would crush this crosstrek off road.

[@wesgriffin5631]

That’s the best crosstrek I’ve ever seen. Always wanted to set my 2016 CT up similar. You inspired me work on my car this summer. Thanks for sharing. Awesome CT. Be safe out there.

[@thetrailtrek]

Much love thanks!

[@derfwgn7719]

definitely the most built! so awesome!

[@thetrailtrek]

Thanks for tuning in bro!!

[@martialhealth4062]

What a fantastic build. That would be so much fun to load it up with food and go camping pretty much wherever you want. Great video!

[@fozzy_che]

Absolutely crazy built!! Probably the most capable overland Subaru i ever seen

[@thetrailtrek]

So much in such a small package!

[@Notguilty1]

Super cool. Just got a 2021 sport and I LOVE IT. I am, however, baffled by how FEW companies make upgrade/aftermarket items for the crosstrek.

[@thetrailtrek]

The market is still very niche! Slowly we’re are getting more support but it’s slot of upfront cost for not a lot of buyers like keeps or Tacoma’s!

[@RKmndo]

The aftermarket keeps getting better. I can find turbos, intake spacers, exhausts, high-flow airfilters, air/oil separators, diff-lockers, suspensions, hitches, winchmounts, bumpers, skids, rockers, wheels, spare-carriers, lights, etc.

[@Honeyddripdiddler]

I like the ax holder . Trying to do something to my crosstrek but being 6 feet it sucks to sleep in

[@MTBShed]

Wow! Sick rig. If your adventures bring you to STL, stop by and see us. Plenty of great trails to ride in town and I HAVE TO SEE this thing in person. Happy Trails!

[@thetrailtrek]

Much love and thank you!

[@the.magnus]

It has to be the most overweight Crosstrek build too. Although it looks cool, owner need to consider the little hatchback was never engineered for all that weight - which mean poor reliability as factory components will fail under the heavy stress, and poor handling as the engine/chassis struggles with the weight.

[@OverlandPNW]

Wow...coolest Crosstrek I've ever seen!

[@thetrailtrek]

Right!? Love everything he has in it! Absolutely killed it!

[@ruggjess]

Wow! This is amazing!! Thank you got making this video and for your guest for sharing everything! One thing that comes to mind is finding an insurance company to cover all of this. I’d love to see a video where you talk about insurance. I know boring… but needed in these rigs!

[@ashleapratt5980]

Get an insurance broker and add added value to your coverage. It was $100/mo for $20k added value to the rig.

[@bu6jon]

do you have more information about your custom F44 bumper? I will be getting an F44 bumper soon, would love to know what you changed about it.

[@Thatakus]

That's a really nice set up. Thank You for sharing your ride with us!

[@thetrailtrek]

Thanks for that! Phillip killed it! Thanks for tuning in!

[@KingSolrac]

update to amazon link?

[@chadsdadbrad]

My question is at this point with that much stuff, why didn't you opt for an Outback or Forester?

[@thetrailtrek]

A lot of time you get a rig not expecting to do what you do to it. Then you gotta deal with it haha I feel your point though.

[@geekonomic]

1:53 All I'm interested in knowing is if it'll supply the needed 1.21 gigawatts of electrical power to activate the Flux Capacitor when you hit 88mph.

[@mingrui1862]

As heavy as it is I doubt it will get to 88mph

[@jameshuffield1755]

Dam..... that thing is on point!

[@thetrailtrek]

It is!! So built its crazy!

[@offroadyaris5257]

That is one serious set-up

[@natashasherriff3550]

Is the led lightbar in on your crosstrec Ironman 4x4 and have you done night runs to show on your KZbin channel

[@thetrailtrek]

It is Ironman! Unfortunately I haven’t showed it at night, YET!

[@xtrekkmpr2016]

Holy hell on that XTrek😮

[@thetrailtrek]

It’s a beast now

[@aaronoutdoors7556]

There is no way all that gear is not exceeding the gvwr of the car

[@NickBEADG]

How much stress do you suppose all this puts on your suspension?

[@salami99]

Lvoe this build, I am a jeep guy but this is very individual and cool to see, I slept in a nissan arama and loved it wondering how would a more livable setup would look, this is exactly that.

[@thetrailtrek]

It’s a great one!!

[@kchiang4]

Only thing you forgot to do is add bulletproof plating to the doors

[@rdlsar15]

Damn….I’m still trying to save enough money just to buy BFG’s for my Crosstrek.

[@ou812....]

Nicely done

[@thetrailtrek]

@littl.foot killed it!!

[@necrom66]

GOALS for my Crosstrek good VIDEO!

[@thetrailtrek]

Thank you!!

[@jdh9606]

I'm new to overland. What kind of swing out tire holder is that. And how about the kitchen counter in its backside? Last question, any idea what kind of bike rack and how it's mounted to the tire thing?

[@thetrailtrek]

Thanks for tuning in! The bumper is made by F44 offroad. Specific questions about where things were bought would be better answered by Phillip via instagram. DM him @littl.foot and hell get those questions answered!

[@ricusmate]

Add an STi drive line and a low range.

[@RoamRoadless]

I usually love watching videos of other crosstrek builds, but I hate this one for the fact my Crosstrek will never come close to being that baddass. So jealous.

[@ou812....]

Well done

[@thetrailtrek]

Littl.foot killed it!

[@ChefAlexSocci]

Absolutley insane

[@salami99]

Also this video came to my reccomended, Im guessing some TFL crossover?

[@elitewarbeast1]

Has Phillip mad a video on how he installed the storage in the trunk?

[@thetrailtrek]

I don’t think so, hit him up on IG. Hell help you out im sure!

[@Cowdog1]

So how long does the crappy CVT last? Asking for a friend.

[@TAZAGOOT]

Meet Phil and Ashley today. Wonderful folks and this rig is just as impressive in person.

[@thetrailtrek]

It’s a beast!

[@drgreenthumb808]

So springs only in regards to lift? No strut top spacers?

[@thetrailtrek]

Springs only! No spacers.

[@customer7575]

Ready for alien zombie invasion. Check!😊 saw this video a couple times through the years. Well done!

[@ThorfinnJaeger]

How much rubbing is there with the 235s?? And does lifting it help with the rubbing?

[@thetrailtrek]

Check out the video from Ep.1 of build bio, I dive into depth on that subject!

[@ThorfinnJaeger]

@@thetrailtrek say less!

[@elguyotee9579]

Looks like you've doubled the weight!

[@Shawninsincity]

Do those tires rub?

[@thetrailtrek]

235s run at the beginning but it calms down. I worth the initial rub.

[@CowdreyC]

dude thats gnar

[@SgtsTanTaco]

I know this guy! He works at LoLo Overland!

[@thetrailtrek]

Yessir!!

[@acexprt]

where do they sleep?

[@thetrailtrek]

Shift pod pop up tent!

[@aldrin5000]

Do you use a throttle controller in your crosstrek?

[@thetrailtrek]

I do. Idrive!

[@woffordsoverlandjourneys8618]

Nice rig dude

[@thetrailtrek]

Thank you! Much love for tuning in!

[@saramae9878]

I just put wildpeak trails on mine so far lol, your video is bad for my wallet's future. That looks freaking sick

[@SKULLKR3W]

literally just get a truck a lot of them stock will be better at offroad and probably get better mpg haha

[@koujihimura8887]

Was any work done on the engine ?

[@thetrailtrek]

No, not a lot of support for the FB20!

[@ryanripple7106]

ok ok I get it...cool rig but man time to upgrade to a Forester Wilderness. This gives me anxiety!

[@onedankind8168]

How's the payload on that thing?

[@thetrailtrek]

It’s heavy, but going strong!

[@vladxd6652]

Want to see off road!

[@nolanspoerl8686]

bro has a water heater in his crosstrek...and I can't even get my dash cam to work 😂

[@DeanMartinSoldier1]

How many miles you got on that crosstrek?

[@wo2active]

Hey do any of you guys know if he made the tool box in the car or was it already built in?

[@thetrailtrek]

Everything he has he made. The Milwaukee boxes can be bought at Home Depot!

[@user-cl2es9iu1j]

Dang! Crazy cool man!

[@richardmauch1042]

Is the cross trek manual or automatic?

[@thetrailtrek]

Auto!

[@anthonyjulson8840]

How much have you got in goodies in that car?

[@thetrailtrek]

🥲🥲

[@thewatcher9778]

holy crap

[@codyl1242]

Amazon link doesn’t work!

[@helmutweikert3054]

What is this guy getting now for MPG? All that weight and additional drag must be reducing fuel efficiency to the upper teens at best.

[@wesgriffin5631]

Change the subject. I’m a huge chiefs fan. Go chiefs!!!

[@martinj2843]

And the motor? 2.0 ?

[@lukesteele5013]

At what point do you buy a van

[@thetrailtrek]

😂😂 Agreed!

[@Sparkjumper59]

Very dense, weight equal to a cyber truck

[@kurtvon]

very cool but this is wayy tooo much. I can't imagine putting all this on my Crosstrek. Why not just get a van at this point?

[@johnreese3762]

OMG!

[@_Jake.From.Statefarm_]

Didn't cover the engine. Crosstreks don't have stock turbos I believe, wonder what he did to it to haul all that

[@thetrailtrek]

Mishimoto Aux Oil cooler and Aux CVT cooler!

[@giovannicanales5156]

In guessing Subaru warranty is shot lol

[@thetrailtrek]

😂😂

[@CrazyGreek80]

What's that 160hp? I'm surprised the car even moves with all that gear.

[@Brian-bu9mb]

It's nice, but that 2 liter engine is going to be hurting anywhere you go, mine is gutless without all that shit!

[@VulpesTheDragon1]

Your gas mileage must be like 12mpg

[@Cpawly]

Don't get me wrong, I like the look of it. But isn't this a little excessive? I wonder the cost you spend on all these mods..? Maybe more than the vehicle alone.

[@ryanripple7106]

This is a new model of the Crosstrek...it's the Crosstrek OCD!

[@smmj45]

Just get a truck lol

[@necrom66]

oh and SUUUBSCRIBED

[@wlkr_tejas_rngr]

Does anyone make a bumper/hitch combo like that or close to it?

[@codycore4986]

F44 Offroad makes it; he is quite a bit behind on production but I've heard they're great.

[@thetrailtrek]

Sorry for the late response but yes F44 makes them! Thanks Cody! Thank you both for tuning in!

[@wlkr_tejas_rngr]

@@thetrailtrek No worries! I appreciate your response. To me, this is THE essential upgrade for anyone who buys a crosstrek with the idea of using it for camping, etc. Having a kitchen area setup saves time and space in the campsite or ski resort parking lot.

[@wlkr_tejas_rngr]

@@codycore4986 Hi also Cody - thank you for the reply! This is such a gem of an upgrade.

[@ggg-ox3hr]

A nightmare to insure lol

[@tmacfan16]

there is wayyyyy too much shit in that car///

[@dtrichman]

Whoa, too much stuff to worry about. Reminds me of hoarders. This felt like a long commercial for every gadget you don’t need. Save your money and get closer to nature.

[@thetrailtrek]

Definitely a good outlook, appreciate you tuning in!

[@MyIronman8]

Thats messy as hell WTF

[@bmccoy29]

100%

[@cloudoftime]

And the 0-60 time is....he never made it.

[@kerry1383]

“Here on the left side…” Pans to right side of car. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@thetrailtrek]

Damn I really need to go to film school #failure 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@ShubhoBose]

Looks like he's ready for the zombie apocalypse

[@thetrailtrek]

It’s ready!! Haha

[@jessheung]

Thank you for this! I learnt so much frm this video. Following u in IG!

[@thetrailtrek]

Thank you!

[@Subie_OffXroad]

Ha. Wait until you see my Forster. This is a toy

[@thetrailtrek]

Sounds like a vibe haha

[@2000rayc]

most be getting 10 on gas LOL

[@thetrailtrek]

Actually 20 MPG! That’s why I love it!!

[@andrewmiller9207]

Cool, but looks heavy....

[@peterswanson3446]

Great job holding the camera steady 🤢🤮

[@thetrailtrek]

Thanks! 😀

[@neeko460]

It’s cool but so cluttered.

[@thetrailtrek]

I can see that, but so much goodness in there!

[@spuri2go]

All that seems so unnecessary. Great work, but way overkill. This is not an overland expedition vehicle, its a weekender get out to some mountain bike trails

[@ryoken21]

All that weight and nothing done to to engine?

[@thetrailtrek]

Sadly there isn’t a lot of support for the FB20. Unless you want to do a whole turbo install haha not reliable.

[@jcoats5529]

Must be pretty gutless now.
