2 weeks ago I finally ordered my skid plates. I ordered from a company called Primitive Racing, pretty much the only company out there making skids for the Subaru community. I was hoping to do plate front to back but upon calling them and speaking with a rep, the metal on the 5MT is apparently...

3 weeks ago, before NC shut down more of the Forester Service roads myself, Lisa (lifted trek) and Matt (Lexus UX) took a trip to Table Rock Road near Lake James. Neither of us had been up or down that road and it was a nice easy trek. It headed north towards Hawksbill trailhead and a road...

I do a lot of research and forum searching before I buy a product or do an install and lights has been on my to do list for a while. I must of read through just about every light manufacture, big to small, and I settled with the Hella Valuefit LEDs. There are next to zero reviews on this...

Took a spontaneous trip up Globe Road. The southern end starts near Lenoir, NC and goes all the way towards Grandfather Mountain. There are two different ways to go. Up southwest towards Grandfather or up southeast towards Blowing Rock, NC. The original path I had chosen was going North...

Just a couple shots of the new wheels and tire setup. The first two are pre-lift and the last one is with the lift. It also started snowing out of nowhere

Back in December I had placed an order for a 2" lift kit from Anderson Design Fab. They informed me that their kit would take a few weeks to make and that they too were on back order. One day I was just searching the classified on SubaruForester.org and found a guy down in GA selling his ADF...

I ended up selling my Spacos and Coppers for a really good price which allowed me to purchase my new setup with no extra money. I wanted a more grippy tire but still needed it to be quiet enough for daily driving. After a lot of research I ended up going with the General Grabber AT2's. This...

I try to park in the shade at work as much as possible and now I have a garage at my apartment so this shouldnt happen...or I throw a towel over it

In the 1.5 year of ownership I started to develop a few clunking noises. One was that 2 wheels studs nad snapped off on my front right wheel and the other was due to a completely failed transmission mount. The bushings were shot and on one side I was able to completely move the rubber. When I...

Here it is, 2020 and NOW I'm finally getting to the fun stuff of the build! Months of planning and saving and researching is starting to pay off. Here we go! With all of my past cars/builds, which were all manual, I always got a weighted shift knob. It made every throw really solid, the...

December 15, 2019 Mtnroo NC got up for another trail ride, this time up Old NC 105 and then down Maple Sally. Old NC 105 is for the most part a maintained gravel road on some parts. The south side of the trail starts near the Lake James area and travels north towards Linville, NC. There are...

Nothing really changed with the car from November till about January. In November I went on a couple trail rides both in Georgia and Tennessee. The first trail ride was down in Toccoa, GA and I drove down to meet with the North Georgia Subaru Group. Its a trail system thats just southeast of...

October 2019 I got together with Williams Subaru Charlotte to host a Mtnroo / Charlotte Suabru Club event for the 2020 Outback and Legacy launch. Of course another event was made the same day after I had set this up and only 5 people showed.

September 2019 I took a trip to the OBX for a car show ran by Sumospeed. They are a car club/movement located in VA Beach and they host some awesome events. This event happened to be in Kill Devil Hills and we were only there for a few days so I wasnt really able to visit and explore a lot of...

I had forgot to mention that 2 days before Christmas 2018, my sister had backed in to me so if you see any scuff marks on any of the pictures its not from any excursions lol

August 2019 Got together with some of the Mtnroo North Carolina members and drove up to Asheville. Subaru was doing their Road Trip Tour to REI to feature the new Ascent. I dont travel to Asheville a lot but my god I have never seen so many Subaru's in one place...it was mind blowing. Weren't...
