Hi I’m mike and I’m from the Syracuse,NY area and I’ve got a Sunshine Orange 2018 Subaru Crosstrek Limited that I have named Otto after the Syracuse mascot Otto the Orange.

The first mod I did besides switching the interior lights to LED was to install a Drawtite hitch it was easy to install and I decided to remove the bumpers make it easier to get the bolts in (it’s easy just more steps) IMG_0513.JPG

The next thing was to install the wiring harness on a Subaru it’s a piece of cake it’s as easy as plugging a module into the pre run wires

The next mod I did was to install some hella sharptones as the factory horns are weak

Of course I had to color match them

And build a custom mount

Future plans are Motegi MR139 wheels wrapped with Falken Wildpeak A/T3W 235/75R15 but first I need to get a lift kit so they will fit and I’m leaning towards the ADF 1 1/2 front and 1 7/8 rear

I'm love the ADF lift on my 2017 Outback, 2" in front and 2 3/8" in rear. Still rides like stock, couldn't even tell the difference before and after. Patrick is a standup gentleman.
