Enthusiast III
2010 Subaru Outback with 2.5l 4 cylinder boxer engine and a 6 speed manual transmission.
I got it in November 2020 with 128k on the clock for a steal.
So far all I've really done is a sound system and a few cosmetic upgrades.
Plans are as follow:
Bilstein B4 struts
King overload springs
ADF 2" lift spacers
RalliTEK rear lower control arms
SPC rear toe arms
15" Black Rhino Rumble Wheels
235/75/15 Falken Wildpeak AT3W
Prinsu roof rack
Waterport day tank
OVS shower room
OVS 270 LT awning
OVS Nomadic 2 RTT
I want to do a couple sets of lights up front and something in the rear.
I don't want a swing out tire gate so I need to find a place to keep my full size spare.
For remote ventures I need extra gas, stand alone battery jumper, air compressor.
I have a small solar panel and battery pack for camping. I want to do a small camp kitchen in the rear.
I drive this car everyday which is why I will keep a lot of stuff on the roof. The interior will mostly be used for people and to store gear.
I love this forum and the community here. Tons of great information and friendly people.
Now to the build-
This is my second Outback. Before that I had an old Tacoma (loved that truck) and a TJ (loved that rig as well)
Overall I loved my 2007 Outback. My biggest gripe was the automatic. It was the first car I ever owned with one and it was underwhelming.
The first few things I did to the new-to-me Outback were:
Sony XAV-AX7000
JBL under seat subwoofer
Hitch (wiring is still sitting in my garage)
Hella Horns (I rolled my eyes at it too I got sucked in)
Legacy Grill
Blacked-Out Headlights (did these myself)
And the day I wrote this I got my Primitive Racing full skid set on.
