Thank you Ronny for the subielove ! For 3 years now I try to show people through my videos that a Forester or a Subaru in general is an absolutely awesome overland / touring vehicle ! 🔥 And the beauty of it is that you don't have to spend a crazy amount of money to make them even more capable off road.👊 My Foz took me everywhere I wanted last year (10+ countries so far) and if we didn't had this virus mess going on I should have been to Mongolia with it. Despite that, I still have a lot of plans for my Foz and my future trips ! Stay tuned 🙏

Matt Australia well if that’s the case mate, an 80 series isn’t a ‘real 4wd’ as they’re constantly in ‘all wheel drive.... actually so is a 100 series and a 105 series and a 200 series ..... geez it’s not looking too good for the Toyota LandCrusier fraternity then. Our Grabd Vitara is also constantly in 4 wheel drive with a. 60/40 split rear/front respectively/ However when we flick it to 4H lock, it has a centre differential that splits power 50/50. Then if you got to 4L it is split 50/50 with a lot lower gear reduction, all done through a seperate transfer case.....exactly thee same as the aforementioned ‘real 4wd’ LandCrusiers ....

One thing i've learnt as a mechanic, is that the Subaru is the most underrated vehicle in Australia. Super reliable and capable, symmetrically balanced driveline and comfortable to drive. Don't forget once upon a time they were a champion rally car. The funny thing is, the people bagging Subaru's out have big 4 wheel drives that will only ever take them to 2 wheel drive campsites towing a caravan or camper trailer. This Subie will go to 90% of the places that most people go anyway. So who's the silly one? You deserved the gag Ronny LOL. Keep up the great content mate!
@swedishtank62514 жыл бұрын
Light weight, really affordable, dual range, LSD's and a locking center diff make these very daily drivable cars great for camping, touring, and exploring sandy tracks. I feel that people are misreading the intention of buying a car like this, it's not a $60k troopy with 35's and a 4"' lift. Its a car for someone who wants to go camping and do some light four-wheel driving on a budget with the added daily drivability that makes these cars so popular. These are actually quite capable vehicles due to their lightweight and AWD system. Comparing them to a lifted Patrol or Landcruiser is a bit stupid, but they are surprisingly capable in reasonable scenarios. I own the pre-facelift SG, non-turbo and manual, and its a fantastic car... these clips don't do these cars justice...they love the sand due to their weight and when modified correctly can be very capable. Have a look on youtube or Instagram for some other more off-road focused builds for some better clips. Great effort to the bloke in this video, you can clearly see how passionate he is about his car. Thanks for the episode Ronny!

I think this is a great video Ronny and long overdue. I know there’ll be haters, some just for the sake of it and look - each to their own however these little cars are grey in the right hands. You can’t deny that. Sure they’ll have limits but what vehicle doesn’t ? For anyone doubting Subaru’s being used off road - feel free to check out ‘Soft Roading In The West’ on YT, he’s a Canadian fella that goes everywhere in his ! He loves it !!! It’s great to see an ‘everyday’ car ( whether you call it a car, an suv, an AWD or a 4x4 ) featured and letting old mate explain it all for those who may be new to the whole camping / off roaring / overlanding scene. Not all enthusiasts can afford their dream car, their 200 series with all the gear or a fully modified Y62 or a dual cab 79 with all the bells & whistles - we all buy what we can afford. And whether it’s a Subaru like this vehicle, or a Mitsubishi Delica van or a Grand Vitara ( like ours that gets us 98% of where we want to go ), as long as their vehicle of choice is getting them out into our beautiful outdoors and letting them get to nice camp spots, who cares ? And even better when you’re not paying off a second mortgage or a $200 lease repayment, it doesn’t get any better than that ! These are a great little car, nice and light and nibble as, will get down tight tracks and into most spots so good to see Ronny 👍 I’ve lost a few good mates lately and it really rams home that life really is way too short to not be enjoying it to the fullest. This is something I truly am passionate about ..... BIG TIME ! So well done mate to you and it’s owner, bloody fantastic to see 👍👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺 Goes to show no matter what car you do or DON’T own, don’t let that hold you back from getting out, enjoying life out on our tracks and seeing our beautiful bush surroundings. All cars are great in the right hands and if you know your vehicles limits and your own capabilities, then there’s nothing holding you back. Hopefully, this may help to change some of that bloke brigade thoughts towards what is a 4 wheel drive and an all wheel drive when it comes to sharing tracks.

He touts his offroading classes as the best way of learning, however his choices in line, approach and speed are questionable at best (in my humble opinion).

I would happily nominate my Subaru for the test for the modified Subaru category. In the Subaru world is considered by most to be the most capable all subaru offroad vehicle in Australia and would give the 79 a run for its money in a lot of situations.

Huge snorkels chem welded to the carby, exhaust snorkel, holes drilled in the floor so it would sink properly, scuba tank with masks and partially waterproofed electrics including distributor and coil. Non-interference heads meant when you did eventually (inevitably) drown it, pull out the spark plugs and off you go. Was an absolute pisser! We also took a bog stock one (prior to being turned into scubaru mk7) to Dargo via the bush tracks thinking that it wouldn't make up some of the tougher tracks with 5 blokes on board. Only needed a push once (with a patrol bullbar) but that was more the road tyres than the vehicle! Great little cars.

@@samsonphiri6874 Yup, I've noticed my sg Forester does a lot better climbing than going down. Since it isn't lifted the IFS really soaks up everything and quite often you lose a lot of ground clearance every time you step off a rock and risk dragging the bottom or hitting something.

Yes nice to see a Suby so passionately presented - I have long ago (10 years) graduated from a Suby, but when it was my "Sleipnir" (google it) I regularly accompanied a Toyota 75 series and a Land Rover on countless extended camping trips through the Victorian High Country, and in all seasons. Driving a Subaru offroad is honestly all about "TECHNICAL DRIVING" but irrespective of that it was in the snow that the Suby absolutely excelled when compared with the Toyota and the Land Rover - Subies love snow play, HOWEVER what ever you drive - know your vehicle's strengths and weaknesses, exploit them and respect them, in that order, you wont break them and you'll have a bonza time out there.

My mate had one of these. We done it up for off road as a joke but actually came to love it. Great fun and actually has better clearances then you think due to no diffs and shit hanging down. Also if your fast enough they skim across water very well.

@@stephendean100 i loved my mazda bravo very much, i built my 4wding confidence in it. When i moved on to my twin locked turbo 80 sahara the next level of capability was very apparent. Im saying if he went out and got something with a solid axel and a wading depth of over 350mm that could at least fit 33" tyres then he would also be blown away at how much more capable it is.

only thing i would have done different is go with a 15" rim and run some 215/75 tires. with the subarus limited tire fitment and lack of a "real" dual range transmission (i know these guys got the factory option of dual range) the extra sidewall from a 15" tire really helps.

HELL YEA, I had a 04 SG and loved that thing. I started modding it before "off roading a subaru" became popular in the states, and there were very little mods to be had. I was always jealous of the Australian ones as they had the manual trans with dual range gear boxes and locking diffs. I sold that SG and the idiot that bought it ruined it. Loved that Fozzy.

I had an 05 XT 5 speed and I thought about going this way but I realized very quickly wasn't going to do what I wanted without basically ruining it and even then it was iffy. Sold it and bought an 80 series. Im impressed the low range box can handle the EJ255. Wish we had that option ever in the US.
