May I ask where you got this CB cable please? I need one like this to re-do mine on my vehicle. Thanks

Yes, definitely. The factory Subaru crossbar set will not be adequate for the RTT. I am currently debating between a Thule & Yakima set of straight bars, but have not yet pulled the trigger on either set. Input is appreciated if you have any.

Tepui Kukenam Sky. I debated the Yakima Skyrise but with comparable pricing and some pretty negative reviews on the Yakima build quality decided on the Tepui.

2013 SH Forester here. My build is almost 'complete'. hahah, never! Ordered a rooftop tent which will replace this roof basket for an upcoming month long road trip out west. Skid plates, Yokohama Geolandar GO15 tires and other mods complete. Time to put everything to use and actually get out there.

I operate within the confines of the law, so yes, that is important information. Can you please clarify why it would be illegal to use a single unit to transmit and receive on CB and HAM frequencies when CB has no requirement for licensing? I am guessing that you are assuming the output...

That bumper is amazing. Very well done.

Thanks for that. I was unaware. I got a very good deal on a CB so I'll run with it until I purchase and install a HAM radio, however I will now definitely look for one that is capable of CB and eventually nuke the CB and associated hardware. Great info, cheers.

Great info. I'm going the trifecta route (CB, FRS/GMRS & HAM). Studying for HAM now. License application complete for FRS/GMRS and heading to a shop for some assistance with a clean CB install in a few days. More options the better, I feel.

Very nice. Following. Many similar mods on my 2013 Forester X. Keep up the great work.

^Hahahah! Love it.

Thank you for taking the time to do this.

Congrats! Welcome to the Subaru family. I think you'll love that little car. Enjoy the build. I'll follow the thread.

Update: I have now installed a full skid plate set from Primitive Racing and installed the roof rack, plus completed the majority of my recovery kit purchases. Updates since last post: Full skid plate set from Primitive Racing (Front, Transmission & rear diff plates) Purchased a Fumoto...

Anyone have any thoughts on Waxoyl? I've just received a quote from a company on Long Island in New York for a complete Truck Waxoyl protection (their heavier duty version for off road & work trucks and SUVs) including spraying inside hood, doors, trunk, every opening that rust could possibly...

One of the reasons I so quickly became an OB member was the concept that '...it doesn't matter what you drive.' I really enjoy the concept of a helpful community of people sharing adventure, not just an X car community. Of course there is specific knowledge to be gleaned from specific...

Following this thread. It's something I need to have done to my Subaru, and particularly want to do prior to my skid plate installation.

Excellent. I'm not 'close', but close enough that I will visit this area. Thanks for the photos. Cheers.

Just ordered a full set of skid plates for my 2013 Subaru Forester. 3/16" aluminum front skid plate, 3/16" aluminum diff cover & 1/8" aluminum plate for my transmission. Plus I threw in a Fumoto valve and off road lock for the valve to make oil changes a breeze. Next is the finalization of my...

Having just gotten back into backpacking and learning a few lessons many years ago I can say the most important thing for me is a comfortable, lightweight pack that fits your specific frame / body very well. For me that pack is the Granite Gear Blaze AC60 (Men's Medium). There is nothing that...

Awesome. And your dog is great!
