oreillys auto parts. I've got a commercial account with them for my shop so i get a bit of a discount.

after a long fall and winter started back on the forester. I picked my parts and upgrades with some specific trails and camping spots in mind. I replaced the old worn CV axels with some high travel ones. I added a front “skid plate” made from some shop scrap. I’ll upgrade this later to one with...

Took the forester out on its first off road camping trip! Three days in the sierras! It handled really well a for a first real off road trip! Did wind up breaking the front bumper off but that just means it’s time for some armor.

Today took the forester in to the shop to give it an inspection before heading on a three day off road trip over the forth of July. While I was I. The shop I installed a modification I’ve been working. It’s a couple relays and a resistor that take control of the AWD duty solenoid to lock the...

Nice rig! I just started building an 04 SG. I’ve been really impressed with the places these go! But I really wanted a first gen forester. But I got mine for free so beggars can’t be choosers.

Thanks!!! Even though mine is really high millage the previous owner took really good care of it mechanically. I’ve got the records on it from my shop going back to 2007. It was a well loved and well used vehicle.

Then time for it’s first test! Took a day trip out to a water Hole I know close to me. Mostly just fire roads but got to test it on some small hill climbs, rutted out side trails, and more than a few water crossings. Coming from a well built jeep im pretty impressed with how well it handled off...

Set my sights next on gaining some altitude. After a weeks of research and endless arguments and opposing views on the forums on lift and tire size limits I decided to go with 3” lift and 205/85 R16 tires to get maximum ground clearance. I decided to use a 3” strut spacer lift without dropping...

So I set to work fixing the head gasket and replacing the dirty cloth seats and carpet with a second hand black leather interior from a XT. The heated seats have been an amazing upgrade.

So I moved to San fransisco a couple years ago and had to get rid of my jeep and my camping gear. I’ve recently been itching to get back out on the trails so I’ve begun my rebuilding. My new overlander of choice (or convenience) is a 2004 Subaru forester 2.5X base model. I got it for free from a...

87 MJ I’ve been building for cheep. Never thought id own One. It’s rough and rusty but I love it. 4.0 aw4 381,000 miles still runs good (enough).

First a little back story on the thought process that started this build. Me and my roommate were doing a road trip from San Francisco to Tucson. As we drove we discussed doing the gambler 500. So we set out to buy a beater that we would have no attachment to and build it with both of our tax...
