You guys need to be awarded by Subaru a Wilderness version of the Forester and Outback. You will put them to good use in the land down under. Thank you for sharing this awesome experience.

[@AustralianRuralAdventures]

I've considered reaching out to Subaru Australia to 'road test' some new cars.. Maybe when the channel is a little bit bigger 😁 and thank you so much for watching, I hope you enjoy my other videos Max

[@ranga2050]

Depressingly AU and NZ (the two countries who seem to do the most offroading in subies...) don't get the wilderness. It's sad.

[@bennylloyd-willner9667]

Swedish 2014 Foz XT owner here. I just found your channel and subbed. Great atmosphere in your videos! I visited my Bro in Adelaide about 2 months ago and brought a 2 inch lift from SubieLiftOz back home. Hope you still make videos👍

[@istp1967]

Forester! Forester Forester 👍😎👍

[@adambaldwin2946]

That one was epic dude. Looks like the foz was the winner.

Wow awesome mate, I had a SH and SJ Forester. The X mode was amazing, only lacked clearance was the biggest issue it'll be great to go with you guys 1 day

[@trackexplore]

Well done guys. I'm really impressed where you are taking and willing to take the subies.

[@RKmndo]

After having several Jeeps, vids like this make me excited to try similar trails with the 2016 Crosstrek I bought this past March. I already have rally skids, 225/60R17 Falken AT Trails, and a rear 2" receiver that's good for a multi-mount winch. Some traction boards might be good to have too. I may even go for a rear Torq Locker and some siped 215/75R15 MTs, if it seems worth the upgrades. The taller-than-stock ATs didn't affect my stellar MPG as much as I thought they might, so I'm already pleasantly surprised.

[@avguy9949]

I've got an 08 forester with low range, after watching this I think I'm going to go for a drive in the mountains lol. Awesome video didn't realize they were that capable

How do you think the Mighty Triton would go up there Marko?

[@markh9853]

@@AustralianRuralAdventures To be honest, I think I would bottom out atm. I’m getting some work done very soon on the suspension. Once the clearance is there, old Max Power would cruise up there.

These videos are just crazy amazing. I could never get the courage to do this. Meanwhile in America most KZbin videos, will take Subarus “off road” and place them stationary rollers and talk about how terrible Subarus are lol. (I won’t mention any 3 letter videos,🤔🤣) I have a 16 forester and love the haters of Subarus Keep up the impressive videos

Thank you for your kind words Martin! Nothing beats real world testing and real world fun 😁 Can't wait to share more videos with you soon mate!

Yeah TFL can't drive subaru to save their fucking lives lol

[@martinr8278]

@@theburntbanana9875 best reply ever!! 🏆😂🥇 They use to be a decent channel maybe 8-9 years ago. But you’re right, they can’t drive Subarus, those who own them will respond to them and tell them what they are not doing right, then they come out with another video and say we listened to your responses and tried it again. I stopped watching them when they put a Subaru on rollers and complained about the all wheel drive system.

[@weatherornotsubaru]

@@martinr8278 Check out the youtuber "Driving Sports TV" who does a lot of offroad testing with Subaru's (and other vehicles). Kind of the opposite of TFL. I can't stand TFL. I've done more offroad with my 04 WRX and 23 Subaru Ascent than TFL has done with any of their subaru "tests". I haven't had any issues....although I did get a 2" lift on my Ascent just last week, so going to do a lot more offroad with it!

[@wayniexagt]

Lock it into 1st gear manually and use a bit of foot brake to slow down the spinning wheels and maybe pick your line a bit better .. I never got a chance to fit a rear locker from matt chaplin in my H6 before i sold it .... it saw a lot of tracks in WA

[@subarino_auto]

Awesome video mate! Question: Is Des available for hire as spotter for trips? 😂 Love that guy.

[@destnations5588]

I'de happily swap spotter fees for a Torq locker install hahaha

[@MrWerd910]

I absolutely can't believe these subies can tackle these tracks. I reckon the Forester did better because of his tyres. But I have noticed you guys look like you are running full pressure. Try running 15psi up a hill like that and it will make the world of difference

[@AustralianRuralAdventures]

Gday Simon, I can't speak for Des and Troy but I ran 20ish up the Mt in the previous video. I think these guys where about the same 🤔 Thanks for your support as always my bro

[@destnations5588]

I was running 18 to 20 pound in the forester

[@ranga2050]

The forester has VDC, which the outback also should, but you can see it working in places with the forester where the elevated wheel just suddenly comes to a halt. Makes a huge difference

[@GeorgeAlfred5777]

Dougy mate bloody Awsome vid. Des on point with spotting! What a crew, you Troy and Des, love this clip mate. Cheers blokes 🙏🏾👏🏾

[@andrewlangford88]

You guys would do well with a rear locker. I think for this sort of stuff the auto I'd the way to go. I couldn't see myself with an SF dual range doing it, there'd be no clutch left

[@Athiril]

Not sure about theirs but my base model comes with limited slip rear which locks up well off-road

[@destnations5588]

I just additionally bought an sf with low range, I might just have a crack here with it ;)

[@Evoque2020]

👍👍 still like Discovery more 😅😅

[@benjaminallen2370]

Awesome… have an OB and forester… dont offroad (at least intentionally) but def capable cars. Would think little substitute for the wheel speed reduction a transfer case would provide though. But whats the challenge in that?

[@knolez1546]

The front sway bar looks disconnected. Would taking the rear off help more?

[@sammiguel2250]

i dont know about the subaru but you sold me for sure on the orange traction boards! where can i get a set of those?

[@AustralianRuralAdventures]

Gday Sam, they are called 'Max Trax' an Australian brand I believe. I got mine from the local auto store, but you may need to order online if your overseas 🤷‍♂️

[@knolez1546]

I do this is a front wheel drive van lmao. It's a TDI.

Cheers for all the great content. Would you recommend the 6cyl over the 4 in the Gen 3 Outback for a used prospect? I've heard they had just as many issues, albeit different ones.

You're welcome mate. Absolutely take the 6 over the 4 if the price is right. I'd even take a 6 over a turbo 4 😊

Forester or Outback? Both.. But I'd take the EZ30 Outback if you made me

@@AustralianRuralAdventures thanks mate! Would you go the 6 simply for power or is reliability better as well? I know the 4s had head gasket issues if not maintained. Also, most used options are high Kms these days

Love for you guys, Subies and the Subie community! Grew up with Subies in the 80s (also was my 1st car), an original owner of a built 06 STI and bought my youngest has a 05 Impreza Outback. BUT I have to admit Ill never get the thousands of $$ put into these Subies this way to take em where they dont work and make them a worse street car driver in the process. Alot of poseur factor for sure with 95% of em street queens going for coffee. Subarus work great, snowy streets, fire roads, mild fwd car trails, but theyre not made for real offroad 4x4 stuff (no matter what Subaru sells folks in their ads). You could bash a rental car through there too, but why? Especially new Subies with CVTs. Perspective is throw an old used cheap stock Jeep Wrangler on the trail too with just a rear locker, with stock size tires and watch it crawl easily in 2wd what these "built" Subies struggle on. For a fraction of the cost of buying and building these Subies. Yes I also own a Jeep that I wheel hard. Each his own for sure, but if you really want to do off road, get the right vehicle vs overspending "building" to bash it thru and break stuff. I wouldnt take my Jeep to the track, thats why I have the STI. But always cool watching folks bash their rides. 👍👍

[@Adrenalfix]

Hey buddy, I value your opinion, but I am curious to find out how much you think I have spent on my setup on the forester all up. I’ll be completely honest and forthright with what I’ve spent after you have had a guess 😊

foi horrivel de ver isso... esse carro e um crossover nao suv, passou vergonha, se for pra estragar o carro estao no caminho certo. um renegade diesel faria bem melhor. mas sem duvidas um ram com lift passaria brincando sobre isso. motor cummin e torque de sobra, pneu mud e calibracao baixa. e como ir pelo asfalto. nao facam mais isso.
