Carrying on!
Cut bumper cover
Start of a rear tube bumper made from 1 3/4” tubing. I also re-did the exhaust and moved it to a side exit instead of a rear exit. I also need to still add a bunch more support pieces for the added weight.
And finally where we are today. I still need to order...
I thought I’d make a dedicated thread to the outlander sport build. I didn’t want to fill up the welcome area with updates!
My wife and I have slowly been turning our 2012 Outlander Sport into a light over landing rig. It all happened in April on our way to Austin Texas when we hit a deer off...
We lived in Phoenix for 8 years and just recently moved back to WA from there. It was just too damn hot. We were going to flag almost every weekend to escape it! But there are some gorgeous areas in AZ for sure!
I’m running 15” American racing AR767. They have like 4” BS so they poke a lot. But you could get a beadlock kit to weld up and I wanted to run 235/75-15’s for the extra sidewall [emoji1598]
The square under the rear light is a vent/louvre I installed. Had an extra one from another project and wanted to throw another one on similar to the front.
The cover by the snorkel is my “ f$&@“ cover when I realized I accidentally drilled my snorkel hole 3”s too far [emoji58]. There’s...
Heck ya! I’m in the same boat. Building an outlander sport into an overlanding vehicle. It’d be cool if you put the light bar into the wind deflector, then you’d have the room to clear the garage [emoji106] keep it up mate!
Hey Mate, I went with a 60$ Jeep Cherokee snorkel off Amazon. You can always use a heat gun like I did to work the material into shape. The worse part is drilling the 3” hole in the fender. So measure 10x cut once [emoji51]
Ok, finally some shots of the rear bumper project! I still need to order a hinge and either make or buy a wheel plate. I will be using a stout T handle bolt latch to keep it really tight. I also need to get a matching spare! This little 190/60-16 looks a little odd :laughing:
I will then most...
Took the morning and went exploring on some service roads near our home. I started the rear bumper today with some 1 3/4" tubing. I will get some shots of that soon!
Thanks all for the welcome! We will for sure try and make it out to the meet up on the 22nd. Would be great to check out some other rigs! I started phase 1 of the rear yesterday. I trimmed the bumper cover and cleaned up some things that were back there. I am try to decide if I want to ditch the...
Hey everyone! I have been a long time reader and decided to finally sign up. My wife and I are avid campers and trail users and have been building up our Mitsubishi Outlander Sport into a mild overland/camping rig. It is definitely not the most likely choice for a vehicle but has great...
