I have been looking at recovery gear and winches, the only winch I have been able to find for the Crosstrek is a winch for an ATV rated at 4500lbs, that is pretty close to GVWR of the Crosstrek and with the weight of the gear I would be adding on to the rig would that be enough pulling power? I...

Very soon, I am planning on going out on Sunday to do a little stock test ride on a few of the gravel side roads up in the Forest around me. I will be sure to take pics and share them.

Thanks again. Everyone on this forum has been great, I love the community feeling of this forum.

Thanks @Wawa Skittletits, would you recomemd getting both CB and FRS or just one?

What is the preferred radio style, CB or HAM radio? I know with the HAM radio I would need to get a licence to use it. Is CB still popular?

Hello everyone, I am not sure if this is the right place for this, but I was wondering how you go about getting sponsorship's. I have seen a few of the overland bound rig walk around vides and some of the members have mentioned they have sponsors. I am new to this, but I also think I could have...

It definitely does look comfortable. But costly, but I guess what they say is true, you get what you pay for. Sent from my XT1650 using OB Talk mobile app

She looks great. All that really matters is that she gets you out on the trails and back home. One thing I have a hard time wrapping my head around with the Super Tourer is the whole cutting up a new Land Cruiser 200 to turn it into a truck. Sent from my XT1650 using OB Talk mobile app

Yes they do, I would love a LC200 Super Tourer. I just need to win the lottery first, lol. Sent from my XT1650 using OB Talk mobile app

Thank you @justin marsh. This all kinda started after I found a company from your neck of the woods, Patriot Campers. Once I saw what they were doing and watching some of the All 4 Adventure videos on Youtube.

Thank you for the traction jacks recommendation, I like that they fold up.

It would be nice if they would make a class 3 or even a class 1 with a 2" receiver that would fit in the hitch cut out for the Crosstrek. Apparently they make a hidden hitch for it but it is only for a small class 1 hitch.

For recovery boards, what do you recommend? I have seen the main product from maxtrax but I have also seen a lot of other companies that make a similar product.

I was just looking at LP Aventure and found this for a spare mount.

Thanks @Wawa Skittletits, I have been trying to find another site that has off road gear for the Crosstrek, the LP Aventure recommendation is prefect. I also never through about the added advantage of a 5 tire rotation with a full size spare.

Thank you 15Canyon. I will keep that in mind. One of the first things I did when I got it off the lot was to take it on our drive on beach to get a small feel for it. Next when I have a little more time I plan on taking it up one of the many logging roads close by to get a better feel for it.

Thank you Wawa Skittletits. I have been looking into Primitive recently. Do you have any good recommendations for Bull bars or do you think the one Primitive has is good enough?

I am starting this thread because I am new to Overlading and need some ideas on where to start. I also want to document the journey I am about to embark on in creating my first overlanding rig. I recently bought a 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek Hybrid. This is my daily driver, but I want to turn it...

That is cool, Seaside is beautiful. If you need a place for laundry or a shower while you are around let me know. Sent from my XT1650 using OB Talk mobile app
