Loved reading and seeing parts of this build. Definitely inspiring.

DharmaBum any news on the rig? My girl and I are finally taking our (early stages) rig on a test run for winter camping up to Mammoth on a quickie ski trip. I'm excited for a little free camping and hitting the slopes early.

I enter through tailgate, but that is if there are two of us. If it’s just myself I can enter through either side door and coo a roll in situation.

Wow, so it sure has been a while. Got busy with other things. So here is an update: I have finally completed the Sleeper platform build (mark 1): 1.) I have plans to upgrade the supports for the head piece, and possibly sepparate the two sides (passanger/driver) so you could theoretically keep...

I just realized we have the same color Subaru. Blue Pearl or whatever they called it.

I am thinking the Motegi MR147 CM7 rims and the Toyo Open Country A/T III (225/60R17s). I am not certain on everything, i.e. offsets and rubbing. But I think it will work out.

Yeah I recently upgraded tires on my '17. I had just under 50K on them. So I am bummed that this car-style change has come just after I purchased a new set. I will look at keeping the stock rims but if I need a 5th wheel (just in case) then I need a different rim anyways. Maybe a Discount Tire...

Thanks. So I have an SJ. I'll look into the 2019 tire question you posted. I am just worried about clearance around the brakes.

Hello, Thanks for accepting newbies. I am looking forward to getting out there. One thing 2020 has taught me is that we have limited time on this earth and sitting inside and binging Netflix or Amazon videos should not be as high on the list as getting back in touch with nature and exploring...

Do you know what is the maximum tire size that works with the stock forester? Using Tiresize.com size comparison tool (screen shot below) I have found out that 215/75/15 (overall size of 27.7" dia x 8.5" depth) is almost the exact size of my stock 225/60R17 (overall size of 27.6" dia x 8.9"...

Thanks guys, This is a lot of good info. Workin on the schematics for the build this week and building this weekend I think.

I am a new novice to overlanding and I am wanting to outfit my 2017 Forester 2.5i. I want to make sure I love this before I go cray with upgrades/mods so what would you recommend for the first steps for overlanding. My girlfriend and I are going to build out a sleeping platform for in-car...
