Lp adventure sells a full kit with all the hardware it was just under $1000, that's where I got mine. Their is also ADF.com witch looks like they had a decent set up, and primitive racing has a bunch of decent stuff, if I come across anything elce I will let you know!

Nice rig. What tires and size are you running, I am getting a 2" ADF lift next month and am debating between BFG AT TA KO2 or Yokohama Geolander AT GO15 for my 2017 Outback.

Update: i got my K02's , Full armor is on! And in the finals for Canadas #LookingGoodCanada compitition, did the skid plates in about and hout and a half..

Primitive has good plates at a reasonable price!

K02's, Courtacy of a good friend of mine at kaltire.... was two month back order on the tires

melted my rear cvboot on driver side, after the lift i guess my exhaust is a little too close to the cv ill have to fix that

and the snows gone, whaters high and the wheeling is good! Got a lot of weird looks on the trails but kept up with the cj cruisers and the big boys around here was quite impressed, also if you can find the link for subarus looking good compitition dont be shy to vote for your favorite picture, hopefully mine [emoji28], Thanks for following will try to update on all the trips and upgrades as the summer allows

Great looking Outback. Mine, although sliver, will be very similar. Ko2's going on in the the next few weeks. How do you like the RTT and how does the car drive with it? How has it effected highway driving?
Looking good.

It drives allright i like to keep it under 120km/h or the tent starts shaking abit, i hounstly havent payed attention to highway losses it still has great mileage and it offroads amazing!

is that the kit from LP? how do you like it, and how hard was it to install?

Yes it is, the kit is great they have designed it well it was super easy to install minus doing it with my spare tire jack and a jack stand I do recommend having a little better lifting devices for the job other then that it still hasn't had any issues and lp has been great to deal with

Looking great Tyler!

 

[WestCoast4x4]

Looks great! Thanks for sharing. Question, have you had any issues with the larger tires at all? Just wondering how the tranny does with the added force needed to run those things? Thanks for any help. Im just starting my forester build, love seeing what these subbies can do! Cheers.
