[Update 1: The New Engine] Yesterday, I spent some time cleaning up the alternator, starter, AC comp and PS pump. I brushed down the brackets on the AC and PS and decided to paint the Alt and Starter. [NB: Duplicolor Hyper Silver wheel paint is a great match for the aluminum on these things.]...

Thanks for the suggestion. Is it a good place to camp? I don’t really plan to wheel my rig. It’s going to be a light trail runner/weekender.

Build looks good! I must have missed it, where did you get the drawer system? Those Motegis and the Wildpeaks are the perfect look on that OB.

Just went through your whole build. Damn does this thing look good. I always wanted a 5-quarter but couldn't justify the $3-5k people want for them around here (in junk condition.) I love that you put the V10 in. Don't see a lot of that where I'm from. I also love the wilwood driveline brake...

Looking good so far! Personally, I would have kept the wrecked panels on and just beat them back into some kind of shape. Would really be a "Wrexterra" then. I love the idea of the Pi as an infotainment/controller system. I was kicking around a similar idea for my track car for gauges.

Yeah. I'd be more worried about the shitty welds of the angle iron holding the whole thing together. Wonder who did that? definitely not me.

New member here. Vincennes, IN. Have two Foresters (98 and 02). One is the daily for now, the other is getting an engine. Can't wait to get out there with the newer Forester. Anywhere around that's real nice without traveling too far?

Welcome to the forum! What are your plans for the rig? And what type of overlanding do you do?

Not an overlanding rig yet but I like running trails with this one.

Apparently it started to come up on him doing 70mph one day. It does latch, he just doesn't trust it any more.

Thanks for checking it out. I'm thinking a 2" ADF with trailing arm spacers and some BFG KO2. I've ran BFG on all my trucks before and never had problems so I figure this one should be no different. I had a 99 Legacy this last winter. Even on crappy, half-bald Chinese no-name tires it handled...

More pics of the Subarute. And a few vanity shots of my 98 Foz.

I don’t have it any more. Sold it to a friend. I’ll have to get some pics from him.
