I'm in the hunt for batteries also. So far the consensus here are Oddessy and X2 Power. I read that Bosch also has a deep cycle AGM battery for half the cost. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

upgrades and installations are on hold for the moment. Got rear ended yesterday. Other than some scratches and a bumper dimple all is good. Surprised how strong our bumpers are. can't say much for the Lexus that hit me though.

So after sleeping on this last night, here are some possible solutions... 1. Sell the basket and purchase the rhino rack x tray in large or get a platform style rack - $399 2. Keep the basket and purchase a wilco hitchgate $600. Mount the skids there. 3. Sell the maxtrax and buy the...

Parts arrived! However I have a dilemma. My roof basket is an about inch short. The mounting holes in the Maxtrax are longer than my basket. Any ideas? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Found AxiaAlloys while searching today and bought a pair of their Matrax Mounts. Price is much better than Raptor Rack mounts from Australia. Boards are arriving today and the mounts should be here by tomorrow.

This past week I've been debating on what traction/recovery boards to order for my upcoming trip to Pismo Beach. For me it was a hard decision between Tred Pro and Maxtrax. Ultimately I went with Maxtrax in olive green from http://offroadwarehouse.com/ Here why: Flexibility. From the...

better late than never OB#2976 Thanks - Andre

So I took a little detour on the way home today. Rather than sitting in traffic on the 280S I took the Page Mill exit and headed west towards the hills. This road took me up the mountain though the Foothills Reserve over looking the Penninsula. I then connected onto Skyline Blvd. A mile...

Thanks fugitive! Appreciate the feedback. I think my tires are sufficient - Toyo AT2's - i could use a full size spare tho. recovery/extraction gear is on my list. I did just purchase a portable jump starter as I accidentally ran my battery down yesterday with the headlights. =/ as for...

so next month I get to celebrate another year on this planet. if you had $1000 to spend on your rig, what would you get? debating on a wilco solo hitch with full spare a grab bag of recovery gear (Tred Pro, kinetic rope, tire deflator, etc,) roof top tent

So my 90k service is around the corner. Any advice on who should do the service? Dealer or a specialized subaru shop? Mann Engineering or GarageOne? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Went to Rack N Road and they were quoting $400 for the curt hitch and install. [emoji51] Ending up getting the ecohitch. https://torkliftcentral.com/rving-and-towing/ecohitch/subaru/2014-2017-subaru-forester-ecohitch. Should be arriving in a couple weeks as they are custom built. I'll do...

Check out Rtic coolers. Same design as the Yeti but cheaper! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Welcome! Sound like You have a nice fun project ahead of you. Here's my take. Best bang for the budget would be to get a 2nd hand Toyota 4Runner or Tacoma. We all know their reputation and reliability. 2nd is build it up yourself. This way you can learn as you go and feel confident when on...
