    DOES COUNTRY OF ORIGIN INFLUENCE YOUR PURCHASE

    I try to buy local when I can, and I've taken to keeping an eye on Boston's second hand market (it's amazing how many people get rid of good wool, and the student population in this city drops hardwood furniture and new speakers roughly once a semester) But in general, I'm just out of grad...

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

    That rotopax mount is genius. I'm going to have to give that a try.

    Roof basket suggestions?

    Figuring out what direction to go with a roof rack. Saw a neat aluminum one for not all that expensive, then of course there are some steel curt and rage powersports bits. Not sure I really want to drop 400 on a yakima, but maybe if it's worth it. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm trying to...

    Subaru Owners Registry

    Just picked up a 12 Forester and I'll be started in on it soon. Thankfully had a Curt hitch on it before I got in and a back bed liner. Currently squirreling away cash to get an an AD 2 lift, some skidplates, better tires/wheels, and a ham setup. Eyeing a set of gorilla flaps too. Cool to see...

    Massachusetts Sound Off!

    Hey all, came up to MA for grad school, stayed when I started working with the NPS up this way. Just picked up a Forester to putter around with after a tree fell on my last ride. Just outside Boston most days.

    Coffee Set Ups

    I don't even feel guilty about bringing starbucks instant packets with me anymore. It actually tastes not terrible. Also they're super lightweight. I keep a stash in my kit for emergencies after the yakbutter tea incident. When I have access to actual coffee grounds I have a little french press...

    Nature Photos

    These are from quite some time back, but I figured this community would appreciate them. These are a couple hours south of Iquique Chile out in the Atacama desert and into the lowdlands of the Andes. Fantastic place. Learned how to drive stick out there. Sadly I only usually use that skill...

    Brake Thread

    Thanks for the link, that looks like a good spot. I've got to use the thing for commuting as well as fun, so I'll keep the surface treatments in mind.

    Brake Thread

    It's about time to replace the brakes, and I've been thinking of doing something other than the OEM swap. I've started looking around at what might be a better set up for when I've got it loaded up for getting out of town, or if I decide to pull a small trailer. I run a 2012 forester that I'm...

    2015 Forester dilemma.

    I just liked LP's style a little better because their design wrapped up under the bumper to guard a little further out. I have nothing against Primitive, and they definitely makes good stuff. I'll likely snag a set of their plates in the nearish future, I just wanted something to wrap up a...

    2015 Forester dilemma.

    I'm hoping LP starts making bumper guards for older foresters. I've got a 2012 and honestly I'm thinking I may have to get something custom fabbed.

    What boots do members wear

    My daily boot is a pair of lined Chippewa's I picked up at a second hand shop, so I'm not sure they're exact model. To be honest, they're waterproof, have good support, and a welted sole, so I've been sold. Had a pair of REI boots, but the sole came off after about 12-13ish years of hard...

    What boots do members wear

    To follow up on this, I've had a pair of old Sorel snow boots I've had since I was 16. I'm 32 now and they're still going strong. I've had to replace the laces a few times, but they're warm, dry, and waterproof up to my calf. Probably my favorite winter boots I've ever owned.

    OB Approved What is "Overlanding"?

    I've ended up stuck in a lot of weird places, sometimes by vehicles that failed, sometimes just by coincidence. I've generally been pretty happy for the adventure. This video made me happy, because it let me know there are others.

    Member Introductions *NEW MEMBERS INTRODUCE YOURSELF*

    Hey all, I picked up a '12 forester after a tree fell on my last car and decided I wanted to start working to make it a little more off-road friendly. I ran across Fozroamer's stuff, which led me to this community. I'm an archaeologist/cultural resource guy working with the US National Park...
