The end of an era. As of March 26th, Red has been traded in after 8 months of experiencing engine electrical problems. Even after they were resolved by the dealership, the warranty had already run out by the time I picked her up. She's been replaced with a new, 2023 Toyota Tacoma which only...

Just some new pictures from a recent road trip I took to Oregon. Attended Big NorthWest Meet at Portland International Raceway and joined other MtnRoo Members on the hill just outside of the event entrance. Photos by cgi_xtrek on instagram.

Just a few updates (long overdue) November 2018 - Calico Ghost Town - January 2019 - Yuba Goldfields Meet - Small upgrade. A friend of mine rolled his Orange Crosstrek back in February 2019, which sadly totaled the car. But the bumper wasn't damaged and it's now been revived on my own...

@Jethro I think the two crossings can be deeper than that, given enough rain fall. And that would be a negative on Spencerville. Mtnroo has done a few events around the Dredger Ponds/Goldfields area and have had a blast there (I'm considering a overnight camping trip there in February, though...

@UniD Because I don't know if Andrew posted it up or not. He's the one organizing the event. I'd figure I'd post up the event here to see who else might be interested, regardless of rig. @Jethro I thought so too, but the water crossings are a bit iffy if the water is high. Might kill a car or...

Hey guys, If you don't already know, I'm apart of a offroad Subaru group known as Mountain Roo. With Chapters (now) world-wide, we've been sharing the joys of what the Subaru platform can do. Our Sacramento Chapter is holding a trail run on Sunday, January 14th. The trail itself is very easy...

I'm tempted about organizing a MoutainRoo Meet in April or May down in Southern California at Hungry Valley. It would be with other Subarus, however all are welcome to camp out and off road. We'll likely need someone to haul out busted and broken subarus going from our last few events with...

True. Its a relatively easy install from what I've watched on youtube. However having someone there who has done it before is nice to have.

If I do the ADF kit, I know someone relatively local who has a lift that can help me install it. However I would likely have a shop do it because a alignment would be needed after the install, and said friend is in the Santa Cruz mountains. I do know that the job can be done in your garage with...

nice!

Someone said Flex?

Heres the album of his project. I'm just hoping the final product isn't freakishly expensive. ($300-$400 max...Metal isn't that expensive, and I don't mind the raw metal because I can paint it myself.)
