Full Force Metalworks is making the bumper for me, it’s made out of aluminum and will only weigh about 60lbs! It will have a winch Mount and fog light mounts with recovery points as well! I’m excited to get it all done and put on!

Very little, I had to hammer my pinch welds flat when I Lifted it and there is a very small spot on the front but only at a certain angle will it rub. Otherwise no issues! I’ll have a big update in a couple months, getting a custom winch bumper built now!
I decided to try a new mount because the ram pod I universal mount I had never fit right in my car.
I purchased a Panavise in dash mount that bolts in behind my radio trim and only has a 2" x 2" square mount sticking out. I used my ram mount parts I already had and got it set up quick.
Since...
Here are a couple pics from my vacation to MT.
We drove Skalkaho Hwy to Philipsberg MT to stop in the Sapphire mine out there and sift for sapphires.

You should check out my build thread.
As for recommendations I'd contact Anderson Design & Fabrication for a lift kit, Primitive Racing makes a good set of skid plates (front,mid,rear) as for your slider dilemma it's either lift and get sliders or cut and replace with steel 2x2 or 2x4.
Really it...
I use Snow Peak utensils, I have a full set of full size sporks and I have a set of carry on chopsticks and a short spork that fit together in the chopsticks holder.

Welcome, I'm in Federal Way.
Looks like a good start and I hope the trailer project turns out great for you!
I've always wanted a trailer set up but my rig is not meant to tow a base camp trailer.

I have an old aluminum military med case I use for storage, I haven't tried it on my roof rack yet but I'm sure it would fit well and it has a good rubber seal.
I use a pelican 1550 for my tool box as well.

I know it's a long ways away but when we visit family in Montana we visit Gem Mountain sapphire mine. Maybe there is a place local to you that's a working mine still?

I've got a 2013 Subaru Forester and it's been a great vehicle so far with the upgrades I've done to it.
If I had to start over I'd probably go with a Toyota 4Runner or a LR 110. I think both would be a fun build and capable rig.

My last purchase was my Frontrunner roof rack and a hand full of accessories for it.
My next purchase is a custom rear bumper with swing out for my spare tire, Jerry can holders and maybe my highlift.

I'm using an iPad mini 2 with cellular.
I have it mounted with a RAM POD I universal mount and X grip.
My only complaint is the X grip is a little wobbly. But nothing major.
I run HemaExplorer maps, Topo maps and Giai maps on it.

With the Frontrunner rack mounted up I started to think what's next? So I contacted a local Fab shop to help me make a rear bumper with swing away rear tire carrier and a mount for my two Adventure Trailer locking Jerry can mounts.
Hopefully within the next two weeks I'll hear back from them to...
After I had upgraded my brakes I waited for my chance to get into ADF's shop and get my lift kit installed.
It was a very long few months as I waited for my lift to be fabricated and get the chance to finally show up but that day came and I couldn't be happier with there service and support with...
Here is my build so far I'll break it down the best I can on here.
I started off with a 2013 Subaru Forester fresh off the lot with 8 miles on it I believe.
I actually went a year without any mods just because it was so new, but after that first year I wanted to do some cosmetic things to make...
