Enthusiast II
Here is my build so far I'll break it down the best I can on here.
I started off with a 2013 Subaru Forester fresh off the lot with 8 miles on it I believe.
I actually went a year without any mods just because it was so new, but after that first year I wanted to do some cosmetic things to make it mine.
I added some thick Gorilla Off-Road mud flaps first.
After that I realized I didn't like all the chrome on my vehicle so I started working on covering it up and making it look to my liking.
I plastidiped my grill and had my door handles covered in flat black vinyl as well as de badged my trunk.
After that I had my front windows tinted to match the rear.
From here I was done cosmetically for the time being and started thinking about making it a more capable rig for off roading here in the NW, my first purchase was a set of Triple Armor from Primitive Racing.
With a front Sump, trans and rear diff skid plate installed I was happy I wasn't going to push a rock threw one of my low laying pans or diff. But started to think about a lift and larger tires now.
I actually purchased a 2" Anderson Design & Fab lift kit first and less than a week after it arrived in the mail he announced that he was going to build a 4" kit for my rig. So I contacted him and he worked with me to upgrade for a 4" kit that was much more detailed and in depth.
As I waited for the first couple sets to be produced I did some homework and purchased a set of tires and wheels that would max out my 4" lift kit without any major rubbing or complications.
So I bought some Method Racing 502VT Spec rally wheels and 235/75R15 BFG AT KO2's to go on after it was lifted.
So those went into storage as I waited for the lift kit to be fabricated and as I was thinking about the coming upgrades I figured brakes would be a good upgrade as well. So I researched what I could and came up with a set of slotted and dimpled rotors and a carbon ceramic break pad.
