I can't say I noticed any power changes after capping off the resonator. I had my pump on the side of the bottle. Bottom would probably work too. The second pump is for your rear window but I decided not to bother using it. I bet you could get both on there or use two bottles if there's room...

Psuss! For the resonator, I bought a cheap plastic electrical box cover from a hardware store and glued it on with liquid nail. For the nalgene, I think it was an adjustable hose clamp tight around the bottle with a pipe hanger/strap up to the battery tie down rod. The strap was about 1" wide...

Much appreciated! I've since moved into a Tacoma but I'll always have a soft spot for Subaru's. I've always had the mentality of DIY'ing before buying.

Glad to help! The side covers turned out better than I thought they would. Just a little extra protection from rouge sticks and rocks.

Ahhh right sorry about that. I forgot I did two different bumpers over the years. So the first one was with the complete cut all the way across. I did that thinking I needed to in order to not scrape. I think it looked pretty silly with the lower radiator and framing exposed but it worked. I...

Long time no talk! To trim the bumper I used a Dremel with an 1-1/2" cutting wheel. It makes a mess and burrs up the cut edge pretty good but I didn't experiment with other methods. It cleaned up pretty good with a knife and sandpaper. After I got the cut edge cleaned up I capped it with this...

Not exactly. That was 6 years ago and I haven't had the Forester for 2 years now. Roughly though, the unistrut was around 24" long (I think it was 1-5/8" strut). And the arms that supported the lights were probably 8"-10" long.

The unistrut sat on top of the metal crash bar and was secured with bolts vertically through the crash bar. I believe there were already holes in the crash bar that I used. I don't have pictures of that setup unfortunately.

For sale is my 2018 Forester 2.5i Premium with a 6-speed manual transmission. I purchased it brand new in November of 2017 and have put 54,600 miles on it. This has been my offroad and camping vehicle for the past 5 years so it has its fair share of trail scars. Aside from the pinstripes, armor...

Gray, I apologize for the very late response! The sky box is pretty much on top fill time these days unless I need to transport 2 kayaks. It's more practical for storing dirty items like traction boards, used clothes/towels, etc. I don't even have the DIY cage anymore. I appreciate the interest...

Thanks Graybaker! It's 70" long , 54" wide at rear doors / 42" wide at rear wheels, and between 29" and 31" of vertical space.

I work for a company that laser scans buildings so I borrowed the scanned for the weekend. Then I modeled everything in Revit with the architecture tools.

Overall dimensions are 4'-4" x 5'-10". My Forester is a 2018

For a while I had the rear seats removed to gain more storage space but this took away a flat surface if I wanted to sleep in my car. First I 3D scanned the Forester then modeled a platform with hatches to access my gear underneath. The frame is made out of 2x2's and the top is 1/2" plywood...

Will do!
