Replaced the front door speakers and the dash speakers to get the best out of the aftermarket Pioneer headset. It has made a huge difference in quality of the sound, digital sound being exceptional by using all of the functions on the headunit such as crossover feature and equaliser settings...

Out and about

Thanks Zim. Folks dont really know what it is. Not their idea of an off-roader or overlander, but more than a soft roader. Most what I do is touring on highway, with rocky/rutted link up trails. The difference being quiet and comfortable at highway cruising. Fully loaded back down from a...

Rear track bar and front LCA bushes

Swapped rear control arms, rear trackbar and swaybar links front and rear. Soft poly spherical bushes and heim joint combinations on all and all are adjustable. Also soft poly front lower control arm bushes including fully floating spherical bearing on front strut clevis'. Rear axle now centred...

Finally got around to installing an odyssey pc1350 battery to deal with both crank loads from the winch and compressor and the accessory drain. Installed terminals with three posts and nylock nuts and smeared with electrical grease. Much easier to connect accessories and clamps for chargers and...

Preparing for lift off...

Bored now.....

The tent is floorless and so useful to set up as an awning room wherever preferred on any ground. This works well with campbeds. The dome support to roof and sides is excellent for shedding water and wind, and ability to increase awning shade. A floor of various types can be added at will. A...

When looking at a tent and awning option, RTT was ruled out - roof space already taken - but also we like to explore on foot from a basecamp. Often this will involve setting up camp a drive away from where we want to explore for a few days. So a separate tent needed. Two in fact: one for living...

Thanks. I can't tell you how much time I've spent researching and executing this build. I think my beautiful better half probably could. So that is the purpose of this thread - share the benefit of that research. I mean who has the time right? The vehicle is just part of the puzzle, so this...

Water Seaflo washdown pump kit hangs from a cargo load ring on a sling. Heavy duty on demand switch. very powerful shower for radiator, brakes and pulley belt wash down after mud runs. Empties 20 litres in a minute so careful use unless next to a water supply. Switch cycles on off too much on...

6 rocklights give good unobtrusive camp lighting to cargo area and as puddle lights. 2 each side and 2 in the tailgate. Activated remotely from phone app up to 50m away.

That car released my inner hooligan alright. I think it was 2 years before anyone overtook me on a B road. :grimacing: The diff needed work and I'd used up most of the points on my licence, so I let her go. Taught me a lot. The number plate was D3 EBT. I'm sensible Sam now. :neutral: Must...

Uprated head unit to Pioneer with digital radio, bluetooth hands free phone microphone, android auto and apple car play auto connect. Integrated twin video feed display for front and rear cameras. Auxillary switch panel looks stock, mounted in dash cubby with winch isolator, lightbar...

Nice to see a 5 door original impreza in your line up. Mine had an air intake bonnet scoop. I had a 1995 Prodrive version, green with gold wheels. Lots of mods. Let it go after it turned 196,000 miles. Spent a lot of time in that car flat out and full of gear. Very reliable and quick. Love to...

Great! Will be interested to see how you get on.

JBA upper control arms with ESP bracket, geometry corrected for the lift.. Up-rated greaseable ball joints with shortened bolt stud for tyre clearance. OME front struts and HD coils. Stainless steel splash guard to protect the radiators from mud fling when winching.

Being able to escape to the shed has saved many a marriage! I hear you on the house back up. We have a similar issue of PITA powercuts because we pump our own water. Powering a pump takes a powerful battery and inverter to kick it over. I can live without electricity but not without water...
