“HA YUN DA ELUNTRA” Shit had me cracking up

[@clintrobyn]

Great video you have inspired me to turn my 2016 subaru forester into a off road tourer. Keep up the great content.

[@ryandurrant2256]

Happy to see another subie featured.

[@AustralianRuralAdventures]

Something about the subies and subie owners especially. Always up for a laugh 😁 Thanks for the support again Ryan.

[@ryandurrant2256]

@@AustralianRuralAdventures Thank you for the great upload 🙏

[@Adrenalfix]

Great day, nothing broken, nice to meet you Dougie, look forward to more exploring in the future! ( btw that rear right wheel lift on your Disco is still mental on video! )

[@AustralianRuralAdventures]

An absolute pleasure to hang out with you Des. Thanks for all the help filming, see you soon!

[@mysteryunit]

Des you're golden - hope to see youse team up again :)

[@jamiewoods8894]

What tyres are you running Des?

[@Adrenalfix]

@@jamiewoods8894 hankook dynapro at2s, I didn’t choose them, they were on the rims when I bought them. They don’t seem too bad though, fairly capable for the trails I’m focused on, not too aggressive and not to loud on sealed roads. Made a big dent in my fuel consumption though, so they may be fairly heavy. I also have radically reduced my acceleration from a standing start as well.

[@cautionsix6360]

@@Adrenalfixwhat rims are those?

[@MrThebrownie72]

Des has MCM chopped sticker 👍 thanks for the stickers Dougie one for the car and one for the camper trailer ( be the only one on there 😜)

[@AustralianRuralAdventures]

No problem at all! Don't forget to send me a photo if you haven't already 😅 gives me plenty of smiles per gallon seeing them out there.

I have the same model and disconnecting both sway bar helps heaps with these tracks. Awesome video!

That subaru forester has a back recovery point just like in the front its a small square plastic piece you can take off and put in tow hook that comes with every subaru. Just for future reference lol

[@AustralianRuralAdventures]

Awesome thanks mate

[@joem1102]

Yup easy car to tow. Recovery points and the screw in loop. As a one time tow driver love not having to crawl under the car to hook it up. But that's not why I got a Forester. Got it cause of all the unpaved poorly maintained mountain roads here in Oregon.

[@anthonyrussell8772]

No. They are NOT recovery points. They are used to lock down car during transport and can't handle weight of recovery...

[@Peter-xtreme]

Love the wheel lifts!

[@AustralianRuralAdventures]

Ahh Peter! When Des was coming down that last big hill.. I was a touch nervous :p

[@GlenB1963]

Really enjoyable video. Thanks guys.

[@ItchyFeetOz]

miss my disco 4 watching this...

[@MatthewSomethingOrOther]

I miss my disco 2 until I remember all the problems she had, very beautiful though 😍

[@ChrisRulewski]

Pretty sure that there's a rear recovery point in the back (behind the small squarish panel on the rear bumper)

[@louisvilaros9066]

Nice wheel lift time for the lift Dez

[@destnations5588]

Cheers Buddy!

Looking good out there fellas

[@attacktheculdesac_]

lovely footage! Enjoy it greatly

[@AustralianRuralAdventures]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@martinr8278]

Nicely done out there! Great video. Subbie did pretty good out there

[@limitlessinitiatives]

Awesome video guys. I have the Sedition turbo with BFGs and find that pulling the ABS fuse helps heaps with off road ability in soft sand. Keep up the awesome content!

[@AustralianRuralAdventures]

Thanks very much Damo, which fuse?

[@limitlessinitiatives]

@@AustralianRuralAdventures The ABS fuse. Most of my driving is in soft sand dunes and beaches.

[@markh9853]

Awesome clip Dougie, looks like fun!

[@AustralianRuralAdventures]

Cheers Marko, you gonna test out your new snorkel soon?

[@markh9853]

@@AustralianRuralAdventures have to Finnish the internals and clean up the hole in the inner gard. Then definitely have a go at some bigger stuff! Bash plates are on the way from Qld, should arrive soon as well 👌

[@adambaldwin2946]

Awesome to see how all the videos you have done with a subaru have the most views...

[@Doc1855]

The limitation in our Outback is… it’s my wife’s commuter car and she would kick my butt if I took it off road like that. That’s what we use our Ford 4X4 pickup for when we go off road

[@jasonmears4393]

That Landover is a beast. I own a 2008 lexus gx470...only had it a few months. I wonder if it could hang with the rover?

[@waggaclint]

Where about is this one filmed

[@AustralianRuralAdventures]

Perth Hills, if you want the details send me an email. I'm not 100% on the legality of this location, it's probably fine but I didn't want to publish publicly and risk getting viewers in strife.

[@humzabhagat9216]

I think the biggest worry my dad what’s with off-roading in the forester is that he will break something… we have to Do intensive research before going😅😅

[@SniffBackBetter]

Love the Scooby and that Land Rover is a real beast. Is it a Disco 3?

[@AustralianRuralAdventures]

sure was 😅

[@lucashvala2854]

I think it’s a Hyundai Elantra 1.8 auto

[@AustralianRuralAdventures]

Looking back at the footage i don't think I ever checked the transmission 😅

[@seblovesMichelle]

Nice. Check out how to SUBARU offroad

Get a body lift kit first, then springs if you need more 👍

[@AustralianRuralAdventures]

On the Subie? Agreed, I think a locker would be great also.

Does a forester have a diff lock or any other system to keep proper traction

[@destnations5588]

Just the stock traction control it came with from factory.

[@subaru6538]

Does the forester have low range gearbox and VDC?

[@damiencook3423]

When guiding don't use right hand down/ left hand down....too much room for error. Use driver side or passenger side. No one buggers that up. Our club changed it pronto after someone ended up on their roof. Or stand in view and point.....

[@AustralianRuralAdventures]

Don't tell me what to do 😀

[@destnations5588]

If You have used it all your life, and are referring to the driver, it always works. We only are born with one right hand and one left hand, if you mix that up, you are sure as hell going to mix up your braking foot and your throttle foot.

[@Coolpeter95]

I reckon that dumped car is an Elantra 🧐
