    Charles's 2018 Subaru Crosstrek Camping Machine

    Those look really cool, I do have a pair of jerry cans that I'd love to take camping... I got a red one for fuel and a blue one that we use for potable water. We almost went with a roof rack, but felt a cargo bag made more sense for the move. Once we get settled and start camping again I might...

    Charles's 2018 Subaru Crosstrek Camping Machine

    It's been awhile, have not had much time or money to do much work- we're moving in less than 2 months so everything has been focused on that. I did however pick up a pair of crossbars and we got one of those roof mounted travel bags for the move. I also dug out my old license plate frame...

    Do you have any advice for running cables for your lighting setup? I'm also interested in mounting an antenna for a CB radio. On my Wranglers I was never too shy about the idea of cutting holes, but this car is also my daily driver, so if I'm going past a point of no return I'd like to be...

    My Subaru Build: A Series of Compromises

    My wife got a 2017 Crosstrek last year and inspired me to get a 2018. I'm looking to use it for camping/overlanding as well! Did you have any issues swapping out the fog lights? Mine doesn't have any so I'm looking at either getting the oem kit and swapping for yellow bulbs or trying to put...

    Charles's 2018 Subaru Crosstrek Camping Machine

    Hi guys, first real post here and it's part sharing, part(mostly) asking for advice. My wife and I are avid campers and backpackers, but we're moving back to the West Coast this year and want to try overlanding for real. We have a 1 year old and are trying for another munchkin, so we ended up...
