    Forester XT build - Overland/Bugout

    I'm near Milpitas, right on the border. For the roof... Not sure... Compresses air designed to be used on a computer might work here.

    My wife and I will likely be there, but we have an epic week long trip planned that stops there for a day. So we'll see you guys up there!

    Is it between the glass and the sunscreen? I can't tell. Btw, do you have any recommendations for mechanics in the area?

    Forester XT build - Overland/Bugout

    Good find, I echo some of their concerns. Rattling drives me bonkers, but if it's something I can pull off, or doesn't rattle, that's not a big deal. My car is my DD, so I don't want to go super nuts on aftermarket stuff, so a hitch mount seems like the perfect solution.

    Dumbest thing you've done while working on your vehicle...

    Tried to dry off my cloth seats with a heat gun. Had to buy new seats after... No fire at least, just a large hole.

    Forester XT build - Overland/Bugout

    That's pretty funny. I was just about to email them too. The 17s have backup sensors on the bumper I'm worried about. That and the backup camera that might need to move. Apparently they are in LA, so I wonder if it's an option to go down there and have them make something up. Good for them...

    Forester XT build - Overland/Bugout

    Ohhhh most definitely. Not going to touch the engine despite really badly wanting to, all in the name of reliability. Am planning some AT tires soon with an offboard full sized spare held by something like this. A few other small things, mostly in the name of recovery and then stopping there...

    Forester XT build - Overland/Bugout

    That's funny, small world! We moved down here earlier this year. I've noticed a surprising amount of overlanders in the bay area. Noticed this Jurassic Park Xterra (or at least one really close to it) driving down the 237 a week or two ago.

    Forester XT build - Overland/Bugout

    Hi, nice build! I had an 08 WRX, 16 WRX and now 17 FXT. My 08 and 16, I used Mobile-1 synthetic, just ran my first oil change in the fxt (free dealership one) so I'll be switching after. Have you run into any carbon issues on the valves? I heard it happens around the 60k mark on the dit...
