Cool product, if you get one please share your experience. I've watched the Hitchgate go from total obscurity a few years ago to owning the market. The price on them has increased with their popularity and now it's totally crazy. I would love another more affordable option to and this might be...

That might be a good idea. I already killed mine once by leaving an inside light on at an airport parking lot. I notice the lights dim frequently and it seems to struggle rolling all the windows up at once. It's one of the last 2018s but this battery doesn't seem that great. Will a group 34 fit...

So I'm excited to finally be planning some long distance trips with my new Outback, but my biggest fear is always a dead battery. I would love a dual battery setup (and will probably eventually go that route), but I need something a bit more affordable and flexible for now. I've seen a lot of...

Great Article! That's one happy doggo! Sometimes it's strange how random things line up. I'm working on buying both a new overland rig AND my first puppy in the next month. I was wondering about traveling with a dog and here's an article about traveling full time with a dog...That's convenient!

Just wanted to post this here. I shared it in the Southeast OB Facebook group. I learned the paint on my 2014 Forester didn't like sticker remover spray so when I had to put my emblem on I placed a circular piece of vinyl under it. Well, I just sold my car and it worked! Came right off in 5...

Cool brush guard, what RTT is that? How to you like it?

I agree with whats been said. Tires are usually my first move, sounds like you don't need to change those for now. Maybe add a camera so you can take some photos of all the fun adventure trips you'll be going on:tonguewink:. Oh, I would get a full-size spare and goto a 5 tire rotation to keep...

Awesome thanks for the replies. I don't even have a girlfriend right now so it feels strange to "plan for kiddos", but when you plan on having a car for 6 years...I guess you gotta think ahead:sweatsmile: But yeah that's actually why I want a truck and a habitat, room, and comfort for me and up...

Hey Everyone! So here's the thing, I bought a Forester about 8 months ago and it's been a headache since day one. I bought it used with 60k miles, just outside of warranty, it's a 2014 and well worn in. Without ranting, it's at the point that I just want out of it. I bought it knowing it was...

Wow man, good thing you can do your own work. At least when this is all done you should have a very solid rig for the future. I had a 2008 H3 for a bit, loved it but the i5 got about 9 MPG around town and I couldn't keep it. Loved it while I had it.

I used mine about a dozen times back when I had it. Never had an issue and it was a champ. RTT's definitely use the ladder for support. There is a tongue and groove piece of aluminum that helps support the center but there's no way that would support the weight of a person alone. That piece...

Sounds like you alreay went on the trip, but just an FYI to anyone else that is going to Ocala soon. Juniper Prairie was just closed due to heavy bear activity. I think they said they are closing the roads so you shouldn't accidently wind up there. The closure is in effect until March 8th...

Beautiful shots! Can't wait to hear the trip report!

Thanks! It looks meaner that's for sure. It feels like a tank driving around now. Potholes mean nothing. Milage is taking a pretty big hit. It's looking about 3-4 MPG on the highway. More if there's any sort of hill. Kinda bummed out about that. I will just keep an eye on it over time. I might...

I don't know of any under $2K. Bigfoot Tents like Rubicjon said have a floor model on sale for about $22oo. I had a fold out style RTT and I sold it after a few months. My Outback went from 30 MPG HWY to 20 MPG HWY. It just wasn't worth the cost for a few seconds faster setup vs my ground...

So I got some new tires today! The ones that came with the car only had a few thousand more miles on them so it was a great time to replace them with some offroad tires. I thought long and hard and decided to spend some extra money to get a setup I wouldn't want to swap out next year. Instead...

Thanks! So my friend who just graduated brought his telescope, the tracking computer and the tripod but forgot the mount that has the motors and connects to the tripod. So it was useless. He felt bad about forgetting it. I told him it didn't matter to me. If he had brought it we could have...

EDIT: Well this started out as a photo thread but I rambled on and turned it into a trip report :-P. Sorry for all the words before the photos. Hey all. So this wasn't really an Overland trip, but it did involve a very long road trip, unexpected gravel roads and the some darkest skies in the...

So I sold my Outback a few months ago. Here's a few shots from that one. And I just bought back into the Subaru family. After 44k miles I learned the Outback was making my leg hurt on long trips and I wanted a more upright seating position. So I picked up a 2014 Forester Limited. I...
