Thanks for the input guys. I didn't know in the rear you could use subframe spacers. That's good to know. Do they make stronger aftermarket front axles or should you just plan on replacing them? I have this problem on my truck and I decided I would just replace them sooner then normal.
So I have to ask. How much stress is getting put on the CV axles because of the lift? I would love a lift on my 17 Outback but don't want shorten the life span of the CV axles and other driveline parts . Also some of the overland books I read recommend keep your vehicle suspension and...
I was blessed with parents who like to travel by car/van. Before I was 18 I have been to 42 states. All by a car. We didn't do any dirt road driving but I still got to see much of the US. My wife and I have been together since high school. I used to take my parents camping gear and go camping...
So who takes supply's to weld on the trail and what are the?. I have heard of welding with 2 car batteries but have never done it. I can see this a great way to get you off the trail if you break something major.
Torsion bar lift for a 97 GMC K1500. It rides like shit. Some day I'll rip it off and put a real lift on. Also trying to save money on cheap shocks. Replaced them with less then 2k on them. I found if you are going to spend money and time do it right the first time.

New Subaru owner here. 17 Outback 2.5i Limited(still stock). I wanted to introduce my self and tell about today's adventures. I decided I would take my family hiking today. I was going to take as many dirt roads as I could find to get us there. I found myself on a class 6 road. First time I got...
I would go with a deep cycle. Spend some time watching some YouTube videos you should start to see how far the deep cycles have come. They should have no trouble starting in cold weather.
Thanks guys for all the info. I have heard bad things about the optima. I heard good things about northstar. I was also looking at Fullriver -Full throttle battery's. They look good on the internet but haven't found anyone that has used them. I wasn't going to go cheep. I don't want to end up...
I'm not from Michigan. I grew up in Northwest Ohio. Spent a lot of time in Michigan. Houghton Lake mostly. I loved that state. My aunt and uncle used to own custom signs in Houghton Lake. Today I live in RI.
Yes very interested. You could plan a weekend trip but have a few meet and greet in different locations throughout New England leading up to the weekend trip. New England isn't really that big. I'm thinking a meet and greet in West Mass, South Maine and near the Cape would cover most of the...
If you add a secondary battery a relay is a good way to separate your batteries. This guy has a lot of info on how to do it. http://www.fridge-and-solar.net/dual_bat.htm
