    2006 Ubaru Forester

    Here a couple snaps from my weekend project. I've never liked the factory foam/carpet trunk, it didn't give me enough flexibility. So I ripped it out. I used 1.5" x 1.5" lumber to build a frame and used .75" particle board to finish off the top. I put a 2' x 2' door over the spare tire well. I...

    2006 Ubaru Forester

    @Rocky @buckwilk Ill try and get you guys some better shots of the bumper! I've been horrible about keeping this build updated. The last little thing I've done to this thing was add a light onto the backside of the awning to help with rear lighting. Found a bolt that fit into the groove on the...

    2006 Ubaru Forester

    Well taxes are all done and decided it was time to get this rear bumper/tire mount done to get the spare out of the back. Summer is coming which means trips! I came across Dmitriy and his fab shop Stellarbuilt on Instagram and reached out to him a couple months ago about the crazy idea about...

    2006 Ubaru Forester

    Update (I need to start taking more build pictures...) While waiting for the ADF lift to arrive, I went ahead a made a pretty rough custom sink that pulls out of the back. I was able to mount it into some factory screw holes, and then the rear seat gives it some extra support. Finally found a...

    2006 Ubaru Forester

    Did some playing around with how I want the back of the Ubaru to look. I borrowed the rear bumper from Fozroamer since it pretty much hits everything Im looking at. Hoping to convince my uncle to lend a hand at building up a custom bumper/tire mount. If not Ill be looking for a custom shop...

    2006 Ubaru Forester

    krzyboy2o - I got some shrink tube and ran the wires through that, then ran the shrink tube down the windshield weatherstripping and under the hood. Then down the windshield I covered the shrink tube with electrical tape to hold it in place. Up further on the roof I also ran it through some wire...

I never had any set plans on doing much with it, but after a couple trips and seeing the growing community of offroad subarus, ideas started...
