[@ThatDudeinBlue]

Thanks for watching guys! What do you think of the BATTLEWAGON?!

[@CrazyLazyDave]

ThatDudeinBlue pretty cool! PS: saw you on TV, Good Job ;)

[@Boywiththemitsu]

ThatDudeinBlue both you and slaptrain posted at the same time... who do I watch haha. I'll love this

[@ThatDudeinBlue]

Thanks dude!

[@ThatDudeinBlue]

Both because you are about that life!

[@NeffF]

Always know your videos are awesome! Wish I had money to do the things u do! Soon.. keep it up!

[@jax1079]

This car is glorious. Simply glorious. It is everything that is right with Subaru. Love it.

[@williamsuter4472]

He's rebuilding it right now, sucks I met him cant even go for a ride right now 😥 lives like 5 mins from me

[@jax1079]

William Suter Well tell him it's awesome! Can't wait to see it again. Best of luck to him!

[@LTDanno360mods]

I would sell literally my balls for a subaru like this

[@akimboslice8533]

Its dope, heres mine. A work in progress. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fn7UnXaVnJKrd6M

[@Flako92]

A Subaru thats not slammed? what is this another universe?

[@krzysztofkunka2617]

B0rikua45 i wonder if the owner vapes or not as well? lmao

[@Flako92]

Krzysztof Kunka I dought it, seeing as its lifted.

[@ItsJmlTho]

Krzysztof Kunka nah he chews instead cause its lifted

[@zachary6656]

B0rikua45 its how it was meant to be

[@coherence_x54r]

lol, not competing but I was shocked to see a CLEAN white lifted bugeye wrx wagon and had to ask him why. his response, he had the parts and wanted to do it.

[@BakeryWizard13]

I love when people do this to Subarus.

[@akimboslice8533]

Heres mine, its a work in progress. Im making my own 2.5 lower lift brackets. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fn7UnXaVnJKrd6M

[@vermili0n]

I have a 97 legacy outback I’m turning into a battle wagon soon

[@lildad559]

@@vermili0n looking at an 98 legacy outback wagon that i plan on turning into a battle wagon of sorts

[@skitkorvboogie]

​@@lildad559I've got big plans for my '06 Forester

[@vermili0n]

⁠@@lildad559if you haven’t bought it I highly suggest you do… I sold my 97 for a 99 legacy outback, pretty much exactly the same but in better condition. Gonna put forester struts on it, already got 17” forester wheels on it. Gonna paint it with black truck bedliner soon

[@VeraTheTabbynx]

Battlewagon: looks at Jeep "...Get the fuck outta my way..."

[@VeraTheTabbynx]

Doesn't change the fact that this station wagon can and will outdo them offroad

[@coherence_x54r]

I love both. being the honest guy I am, jeep Cherokee 4.0 with np242 transfer case is way better in snow, mud, and off road. just don't skimp on tires.

[@Zankaroo]

Nothing about this video shows anything that would make me think this will outdo a Jeep off road. AWD is great for rally racing, 4WD is better for actual off road driving. No saying this thing is not capable, but a Jeep with equal amount of modification will most likely outdo this Subaru across a range of obstacles.

[@signs80]

Danny Hampton it's really locking differentials and breakover/approach angles that matter

[@dexterkruger1919]

lol. jeeps are great miss my old jeep but my stock honda crv out preformed my buddys stock jeep. on the trails

[@FiveCurmudgeon9]

So.... why did you not take it off road ?

[@rbeaton16]

That would require logic to be used in one of these reviews.

[@sanyi_0]

yeah i think what thatallredheadude said is quite obvious

[@ThatDudeinBlue]

Because we are saving it for an offroad shootout video. This was to introduce it.

[@SkarryTerry]

ThatDudeinBlue sooooooo..... where's those off road videos at?? Lol

[@robertoirving3685]

This is perfect!!! I've been looking for the perfect, no fucks given Outback and this is super goals!!

[@TheGardenSnake]

Obnoxious = badass

[@fd3rx7]

Jake TheGardenSnake does this make the owner a customizer?

[@imdestructive7624]

Oh hey jake

[@Huntereich]

Have your newest video open in the other tab. haha

[@TheRadioactiveHeat]

Jake TheGardenSnake Oh that's why you're so badass

[@CalebMcKenzie]

Jake i love you.

[@BoostedBuckets]

That looks like something from forza horizon 3 hahahaha

[@BoostedBuckets]

RedRex I have a car in that game that looks just like that but it's not a wagon hahahaha

[@zachc3477]

Boosted Buckets ikr

[@twindrags1]

The Crew, anyone? :P

[@susannardone6032]

Boosted Buckets I play Forza horizon 3

[@crisismcnoodle]

I never expected Outbacks to be such enthusiast cars until I got involved in the community

[@machineshopinc.6783]

One of the most versatile vehicles on the road imo, more cargo room than a ford exploder, off road capable, good power, stock ground clearance is ample. I plowed my driveway last winter because i wanted to, not because i had to.

[@archibaldvonfookface7364]

If it looks stupid but it works then it's not stupid.

[@Alniemi]

that first gear thing is all the 1996-2000 legacy outback, same with reverse, theyre straight cut gears, so sometimes they dont want to shift, no synchro. when you drive one for a while you get the special jiggle touch to get it into gear

[@Nodxchi]

The way this car was made is most likely why we are all on this channel and still loving any car we get to see 💃💥

[@ivanvalverde1155]

I bought mine last week, its 1997. Was "love at the first sight" hope keep together for years.

[@chadweissert5853]

How’s it been? I feel that way about a couple I’m looking at now, a 97 and a 98

[@user-tz8lw8xz3b]

Can you make the same review but this time go OFF ROAD.

[@Token_Black_Guy]

Никола Балканджийски he will this is just an intro vid

[@MrAdrian13]

Никола Балканджийски I think he will in another vid

[@MrZenapher]

David, a friendly criticism, more exterior exhaust notes please.

[@21April853BC]

The vehicle reviews of the older models have been great. Keep it up.

[@ridethroughlifertl]

I live in Colorado and I see these everywhere. I guess they probably aren't so common in Georgia, but there are more Subaru's than almost every other vehicle combined. It's great.

[@theevilbatman01]

I. L O V E this thing!!! with cars like that it is all about function, and you can't have function without FUN!!! i so would rock this car every day

[@shawnsandburg7945]

I’d romp in that. Just bought a outback to daily. When you are a off-roader you always need a capable rig for when you see that new dirt road

[@chanhuor]

I usual hate subaru builds because they lack personality but this is awesome. This has so much personality! Great review!

[@RazgrizNinjaEX8]

David, this is easily NOT the most obnoxious Outback ever. I can tell you that lmao.

[@KentuckyRanger]

Whenever I'm bored, I come by and watch this, LOL!

[@burquebill3173]

I have a modded outback lol. It has an sti engine and all terrains

[@Prodriver33]

me too, minus the STi motor, check out mi chan.

[@ryanlabonte6098]

BurqueBill nice swap, what year outback?

[@JamesFromCanada]

Hey I have an STi swap too (Ej20G V3 JDM 1996) in my Outback too! What's in yours?

[@jasper_saberwolf]

Haha i love this thing, it really made me smile. Love the creativity in turning an ordinary wagon into something that looks like it came out of some off-road playstation game. Maybe i'm nostalgic about subie wagons, i grew up with a white 1997 Legacy Outback that my mom drove for many years.

[@ANasCarBoi]

Lmao duct tape and spit mentality. Gotta love it!

[@EachAdventure]

As a Crosstrek owner that has been on a few Subaru adventures, I definitely have had a taste of the Subaru cult that you refer to. Even in stock form they are insanely capable, and I love to see all the modded Subaru's out there hanging out with other SUV's, Jeeps and Trucks. The BattleWagon is pretty sweet and it's crazy with all of that custom home made stuff that "just works" that the car still runs and functions normally. Gotta love those Subaru's!

[@patolaviano4235]

Where is the vape life?

[@SmoothAsButterSN]

Not a slammed WRX so no vape life here

[@vermili0n]

I have a 97 outback too, I love it even if it needs a lot of work. Currently in the process of making a battlewagon. I took the back seats out and have a foam mattress in the back to sleep on during my travels. Can’t wait until I have the money to upgrade this car

[@MrRandomReviews]

theres something about cars like this that i just love...mad respect for all the 0 F#!$ given cars out there

[@snowysysadmin59]

I'm actually doing something similar. I have a 1998 legacy outback, currently switching from auto to manual, and I do want to lift it and add general grabbers. Love my outback

[@dirtlifestyleoz8150]

i had one almost the same in flat black with 31 inch tyres, they are an incredible car, driving something like that puts a smile on your face

[@colegarthwaite5633]

how did u lift it? i have a 99 outback

[@michaeltallent247]

bout time you posted this i saw you filming it last month

[@Jordancraigmiller]

but It's noooooo slouch... Ohh wait actually it may be, but it just has so much character!

[@gordo22222]

I just got my first Subaru...1997 Subaru legacy outback and I love it

[@lightwarriors7778]

Why is there no link to his KZbin account or some way to get ahold of him? I'd like to follow him as I just bought a 2002 outback wagon 2.5l 4cyl and like this guy and also live in Tennessee near Franklin. Thanks

[@nismonicky]

This is sweet , someone finally did this

[@SkipyBawss]

"you have to shift into second then first gear" is there any subaru's that you dont have to? lmao

[@andrewgtb]

I have a Subaru Legacy of a similar year, but I want to mod mine for the street and swap it.

[@nickcahill8156]

thats when you have to stand back and just think "what am I doing with my life?"

[@spoonnz]

JDM outbacks have a optional gearbox with factory high/low factory reduction gear. there is a separate leaver by the handbrake/emergency brake.

[@nickwhite6717]

Lord Grease Earl of Maggot 90% of the au early forester have hi lo range. Up to about 07ish

[@connorsmith5145]

My 2000 outback has dual range, it's no where near as noticeable ratio as a real 4wd

[@silentassasin741]

He should make a video of him taking it to a Subaru dealership for an oil change 😂

[@dooleve]

I saw this at Import Alliance last fall!

[@TheJMedia]

Reminds me of something from Mad Max!

[@casefc3s]

I would never want to work on a Subaru again, but I friggin love this car.

[@aricerse4654]

ive been following this owner on insta since ages and its awesome to see it here

[@2goblinsinatrenchcoat]

I’m so torn between lowering (just enough to get rid of wheel gap) or lifting my 99 Outback 😭

[@MrSunminkim]

that second to first thing might be a sign of the TOB going out

[@kylejeeptj8201]

I remember when u only had 200k. Hope u hit a million soon

[@kevinsandberg29]

I have a 98 legacy with a 3 inch lift with mud tires with white letters out man this thing looks like like a hot wheels.and it's so much fun in these utah mountains just blows away the jeep guys minds at what it can do.

[@musewolfman]

dear god, I had that same Hurst knob on my '95 BK Legacy. That thing was misery if it was cold! Also, the 'not going into first' thing is pretty common for this generation.

[@coreymills1520]

Death Race Mad Max and all that that's what comes to mind when I see that vehicle Subaru rank Supreme

[@MIkegrimm2]

That Outback was awesome!!!

[@larryhurt8176]

I love my legacy wagon. And my shifter does the same thing.

[@devincrave7067]

Once you say Battle Wagon that is a mic dropper. You got your what I got my Battle Wagon brrrrrrrrrr. I would love to do some mudding it that.

[@MrCodySchmidt]

Please do a dedicated video to "Why I like cars." "What cars mean to me." "Why I Am An Enthusiast"

[@JackstandJohnny]

Im glad something in this video screams personality.

[@Greggstirling]

My friend just started parting out his 98 legacy sti swap, had a 2.0 short block, sti trans, sti interior, precision 5858, wastegate, fuel mods, brembos and all that good stuff woulda been cool to go from review the battle wagon to that lol

[@Tis_aarons_legacy]

Let’s go! It’s such a rare occurrence we see our kind here

[@MegaSpazGaming]

I'm trying to convince my friend who owns a 99 outback wagon to do this. Love your stuff man

[@mikewallace8087]

FIVE YEARS have past . ThatDudeinBlue have you changed and become older and different from when this video was made?

[@JeevsTechTV]

The intro track is whos got your love by stonebank, its a decent song xD

[@paul1933]

I have that same subie but it’s white and hauls ass in the mud lol 😂 I was weary at first because I’ve been a Jeep guy but I was shocked that AWD works

[@draperb1]

There is a lot of those here in northern MI. I will be lifting and swapping a dual range trans into a first gen legacy this summer

[@johnnycincocero]

With a few more modifications, this thing would be a good candidate as a Zombie Outbreak Response Vehicle.

[@defour6475]

spotted the statuserror shirt ;) youve got taste haha

[@gavelict]

Would the owner of the outback care to share how he did the lift? I've been researching this off and on the last couple months but I can only find shock piller plates for a 1.5-2" lift

[@brianwatson3705]

Swap out the struts for Forester struts. Change the top hats from the Outback struts to the Forester struts (on the rear). Install control arm spacers on the rear also

[@xan_carman4216]

sick build but u keep saying it's one of the only modded outbacks but wat about Gramps 2.0 ik it's a librity wagon but it's the same as the legacy which is the same as a lowered outback

[@136Reid]

I seriously want an Outback after watching this

[@philtrumble]

the lights on that Subaru look hella awesome

[@MikeyFa5]

Wheres The RHD integra!!! Kev has me dying to see it

[@ThatDudeinBlue]

Glad people are so excited about it, but hasn't even been filmed yet! lol.

[@brucevang8799]

ThatDudeinBlue can't wait to see that teggy

[@abbysapples1225]

I have a red wagon legacy 5 speed 2.2 NA. I am torn between lowering it a little or raising it. besides the manices I just removed my res and muffler.

[@codyschoenen9441]

This is what a typical subaru looks like where I live

this is absolutely amazing :3 wonderful review, thatdudeinblue! and absolutely awesome outback, Austin!

[@flippinbizzy1194]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video...the narrator...and the unique character of the vehicle in a day and age of group think. Thank you!

[@loveforthegame3]

bad ass. id totally drive that. probably tears it up in the winter

[@TransAmsandDashcams]

Holy shit that looks like my old "Zombie Wagon".

[@Dped-mh8zh]

You should make the beginning of the video where you show of the car a little longer. In my opinion it just feels really short

[@JohnnyWishbone85]

7:02 -- **ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE BATTERY WHEN WELDING DIRECTLY ON THE CAR**

[@timreddington9386]

I see Subaru Ambassador sticker! See this car on Reddit all the time.

[@sandysam9025]

Id like more info on the suspension how the builder was able to achieve 4 inchs of lift. Is there build videos on youtube on this car?

[@Walterrinho]

Yes. Outbacks are awesome, I really want one of those particularly. First gen outbacks.

[@BOOMER9551]

This guy lives right down the road from me ! 😂🤣 hahahaha

[@MichaelMosesHammer]

Mad Max Subaru. It's perfect!

[@hadrien4089]

the BattleWagon : _"Mommys won't have to fight anymore.."_

[@alcoholseamonthrower]

I have a 97 Impreza outback sport and idk which way to go with it. Idk whether to put rims on it and make it faster, or I can lift it throw knobby tires and make it look like the “Battle Wagon” lol what y’all think?

[@Bobbo63]

this is what im building outta my wagon

[@phanselion]

nice ride! i am looking for a suspension kit to improve my ride too which is the same model as yours. What suspension upgrade did you get?

[@KAS470]

This is not hilarious. This is awesome!!

[@Rockport1911]

Like that you can see the headers but that "Skid-plate" looks thin, not gonna do much

[@izaiahmiruka2003]

Will we get to see it go off road in a future video? I think we need it chief👍🏾

[@richardbaker7134]

i would love that when you drive someones car you interview the owner as well

[@BlackSpade72]

I want see some off-road action not just a car show 😂

[@juanbartolome826]

I have a Subaru like that and was thinking of making it like that. Where did you purchase the lift kit?

[@rfmerrill]

I just my 96 outback's transmission rebuilt and it still doesn't want to go into first gear unless you're at a dead stop. So it might not be unique to this one.

[@ridingwiththereids]

I drive a 95 Subaru Impreza that I lifted, and at first when people came up and said "oh wow, is that thing lifted?" I thought it was cool. Until Some guy asked me if it was a lifted Nissan. Like, common now 😩

[@coreymills1520]

Excellent car ever owned I've owned 12 of them different makes and models different years gave them all the way to family members

[@XongTien]

Love this thing there are quite a few that mob up and down the logging roads with similar mods in northern Washington. One question though. Is this a BD-BG-BK series Legacy Outback or GC, GF, GM Impreza Outback? The "Subaru Outback" as its own model, without the Legacy or Impreza model name did not exist until the early mid 2000's.

[@DankMiata]

Tien Ortman this is a legacy outback

[@matthewcapps418]

My outback has a really low 1st gear what year is this one. And mine is a 2002 that will go through any hole almost completely stock. The only mods are a, maybe an inch, lift and a trailer hitch.

[@Klubyeezy]

Can't wait for rhdkev's integra review to be uploaded
