    Greetings from PA

    Welcome from the Scranton/WB area! I try to get out your way and hit Bald Eagle whenever I can. Good to see another Pennsylvania member.

    ...but it's a Subaru Outback?! Build thread.

    Yes and I'd highly recommend having it all downloaded over wifi in advance. It's not perfect but it's still a great app. It does take a little time to get used to it and set it up just the way you like it.

    ...but it's a Subaru Outback?! Build thread.

    Thank you! Yes I use Gaia and you can use it to follow pre planned routes, track where you've traveled, and via topo map it gives you an idea of the terrain. I also use ScenicMap which allows you to see topo maps in 3D.

    Subaru Owners Registry

    With the lift and everything else I'm down a minimum of 7 mpg on the highway. Sad to say that 10 would be a safe number. That's pretty impressive..

    2014 XV Crosstrek Hybrid

    Gaia is probably the most widely used. I use that for navigation and ScenicMap when I'm exploring.

    POLL: What is your average MPG?

    I waited til after the wagon was broke in before making major changes so I can unfortunately remember getting 32 mpg. Now even on a cool day.. with a tail wind.. I'll never see anything north of 25.

    No problem. The set points for the electric fans are aggressive so they stay on top of things. So, for those you you who don't follow my instagram, sometimes the adventure is in your backyard and those higher springrate springs have a practical use. One delicious keg of Susquehanna Brewing...

    ...but it's a Subaru Outback?! Build thread.

    Well.. it already has one that's intended to benefit from traveling down the road. That said this significant climb is the first time I've ever seen the light come on. Easily the hardest I've ever had to work the car. Parked it on a somewhat level spot and scoped the next climb while the car...

    ...but it's a Subaru Outback?! Build thread.

    The only downside to X-mode is that certain conditions, like this power line climb, causes additional stress on the transmission and gets it running a tad on the warm side. Correct, they are 17x8 with a 45 offset. This area is near my house and consists of all sorts of trails. The view is...

    Thank you! I would never say it doesn't have its limitations. If it had low range and a turbo diesel I'd never get rid of it haha.

    Thanks man! Here's a couple more angles from that spot. The one gives a much better idea of the grade.

    ...but it's a Subaru Outback?! Build thread.

    Been super busy with work but managed to squeeze in some time to mount up some freshly powder coated bits and to square away the additional light mounts up front. Squeezed in some dirt time as well. I wish this picture truly showed how steep this is. Nice view from the edge. Couple hundred...

    The Adventure Wagon: A 2004 Volvo XC70 Overland Build

    Looks like you had a great time. While I certainly can't say exactly what caused the issue I can say with confidence it didn't have anything to do with the belt. Electrical would be my guess. It wouldn't be a bad idea to go around to every plug you can find and give them a good helping of...

    Air Intake

    One that uses the OE filter. So basically just replace the piping.

    2017 Forester XT: Tiny overlander with big dreams

    You could but if you actually use the armor it's going to scrape, scratch, and gouge off. Not that anyone will see the paint damage either haha.

    2017 Forester XT: Tiny overlander with big dreams

    Honestly save the money and cheap rattle can the armor. You can always touch it up whenever but the big thing here is you'll almost never see it. I hate chrome or bare aluminum and I left mine alone because of that.

    Pinstriper's Guide to Overlanding ;-)

    Doesn't normally look like what? Clean? Bad ass? What? Haha. Not that my wagon sees a sponge regularly anymore but I'm happy to just leave it dirty so the mud can hide the pinstripes. Ignorance is bliss.
