I do not think those are really rock sliders. They seem to be more for looks and I did see one person with cross trek who head them and they bent after the first contact with the rock. I think if they had at least 2 more attachment points they might be an interesting option.

It is a 2017 forester XT. One issue I see is the bottom of the car appears to be totally flat with just a seam weld. Most of the other unibody cars I have owned usually had a channel like frame rails running along the body.

Seems like nobody makes rock sliders for the Subarus. I am wondering if it is a a unibody limitation or if it is just because there is not enough demand out there. What are your guys thoughts about mounting rock sliders on a unibody that has no frame rails of any sort.

Got some more work done on the front bumper guard

Did you end up trimming the side plastic splash shields for the front skid plates and reinstalling them?

Made some more progress today and its starting to look like a real bumper guard. Decided to stop for the day with the temps outside heating 90 its no fun cutting, grinding and welding in the garage Just have the portion that reaches to the wheel, bull bar and bracing left. P.S. I have...

Started work on the bumper guard.

Started work on the front bumper guard. Hoping it will protect the plastic bumper in case I misjudge the approach angle. Don't judge me too hard as i suck at welding and dong tis with a 30 year old flux MIG welder. Part one which is the lower mounting brackets and the main bar are completed...

Great build! Did the KO2 decrese the MPG a lot? I can't decide between the KO2 or something on a bit lighter side.

A couple form the Memorial weekend trip

A couple of more shots form this weekend that are my favorites: Chewbacca is my new overland buddy: And a Night shot of the cam from Alabama Hills (With a bit of PS magic)

A couple form my weekend trip:

Great photos and a great looking trip. I was up there on the 27th too. It was a bit crowded but the weather and the clear skies at night were amazing.

My Fozz

Thanks! Yeah I have been guilty of ignoring the Southern California for last few years, but trying to explore more and more of that area. I am probably going to do the the lift at about same time as a new set of tires on some smaller 17 inch wheels. Current tires have about 20K left on them so...

On Day two of our trip we packed up the car and started driving to Mono Lake. We made sure to take the Movie road as far as we could before hitting pavement again. On the way to Mono lake we stopped of at the Crowley Hot springs to wash all the desert dust off. And stopped of at Mammoth...

Had a blast exploring some new areas of California that I have never visited before. The Subie did amazing, over 900 miles and a average MPG of 23 with a fully loaded down car. Day 1: After a long drive we got to Alabama Hills and had to have the obligatory shot at the Face of Alabama Hills...

I have been fighting the urge to get those for my forester also.

Installed a rear diff skid plate And testing out new water storage setup. Sent from my SM-G935T using OB Talk mobile app

Finally had the time to install the rear diff skid plate, just in time for my Alabama Hills trip. I have learned to in the future always wash the mud of the car before working on the undercarriage. Dropping chucks of dirt suck when you are laying under the car [emoji37] Testing out a new...
