Hello OB fam! I'm a new member and just got our new rig set up for exploration.
We've got a 2018 Subaru Forester XT Touring with some minor modifications, mainly centered around capability and protection. This goal for this car is to be a great daily, great for long road trips, and to be just capable enough to get to 99% of places that we want to go. It's not a rock crawler or a hard core trail rig, and that's what we want!
Getting the Fozzy ready for our first expedition. We're leaving tomorrow for Fayetteville -> Vail -> Santa Fe > Fayetteville.
Trips like this were the main inspiration for buying the Forester. Preparations include 1.5"
Anderson Design & Fabrication lift kit,
Primitive Racing full skid plates,
Hankook Dynapro AT-M all terrains,
Yakima Racks bars and cargo carrier, plenty of power cords and a converter, and my self-organized mix of recovery and emergency supplies tucked away in the back.
