    Anybody want a decent-sized lot of 80/20 extrusions and hardware? I used this to build a platform in the hatch of my Crosstrek and had plans for a slide-out tabletop and drawer but I ended up going in a different direction. Frame components are the 1” side size and tapped for 1/4”x20 at the...

    My Subaru Build: A Series of Compromises

    Had it custom made by Detours of Maine. Message him on Facebook and he’ll get you a quote. Quality stuff for a decent price.

    My Subaru Build: A Series of Compromises

    Sorry, missed that initial post. The LP stuff seems nice and, full disclosure, I haven’t owned anything by them. My only concern would be that those bumper protection bar things actually put your already chunky front end closer to the ground and reduces your approach angle. Again, having not...

    My Subaru Build: A Series of Compromises

    thanks! That’s just a tool tray with rubberized magnets on the back. Some company sells the exact same thing as an overland product for $70 or something but you can get them for $15 at Harbor Fright.

    What's your latest camping gear purchase, and what caused you to buy it?

    Ordered some reusable trash bags. We generate relatively little waste when we travel so filling just 1/8 or so of a kitchen sized bag over a long weekend and then tossing it in a dumpster felt wasteful. Going to try hauling trash/recycling home to properly recycle and compost the food waste...

    My Subaru Build: A Series of Compromises

    Just a quickie cell phone shot from a state park trip a few weeks ago. My Maxtrax are attached to the spare with a steel bar drilled to take 3/8 bolts for the thumbscrews, then the whole thing is U-bolted to the arm of the tire carrier with some furniture grip on the contact areas to keep...

    My Subaru Build: A Series of Compromises

    I’m not sure, it’s been so long since I bought the fog light kit. It came with the BD lights and a thin metal bracket to attach them in the factory fog light hole. I seem to remember the bracket being made by Paranoid Fabrication (?) or something like that. The order came directly from BD...

    Rig Photos

    Thanks! I recently got to put my hands on a new Thule version of the tent I have and it seems basically identical, though with a bit of a markup of course. Colors are different as well.

    Have a Thule Tepui double boot bag lying around if anyone wants it. Tepui branded but will work with any RTT with an extending ladder since it just attaches to the top rung of the ladder. https://tepui.com/products/thule-tepui-double-boot-bag Brand new, only used once. Just decided that I...

    Advice: When Does a Fridge Become “Worth It?”

    This is the main reason I’m considering it. The coolers work fine provided I plan ahead, pre-chill, pack intelligently, and limit time with the lid open. I like the idea that a fridge would eliminate some or all of that extra fuss and make it easier to just toss stuff in the Subie and go. It...

    Advice: When Does a Fridge Become “Worth It?”

    With each passing day I become more and more interested in swapping my hard coolers for a powered fridge. A failure to load enough ice packs resulting in a bit of food spoilage on our last trip has me thinking about it again. We normally use a 25L Igloo BMX for trips of 1-2 nights (surprisingly...

    Camp Photos!

    Impressive, last time I was down at PINS the wind and the gulf almost claimed my little green pop up shower tent. You must have staked it really well.
