Following you now . Those are some beautiful photos! And I see Iris is an ET4! I have a 2006 LX150, and a 1965 SS180. They are fun toys! :grinning:

The new forum software and format is awesome, and looks great! However, some people are not fans of reading white letters on a dark background. I understand that it fits with the overall look of the Overland Bound theme, but if it bugs you, it can be changed. Current "Dark Responsive" Style...

The new forum settings seems to default to automatically "watch" (or follow) any new thread that you start or existing thread that you post in. This is helpful to know when someone else has replied to that thread. However, if you would like to stop getting email notifications and alerts for...

"Sorry, that page isn't available" Got a direct link?

I'm Steve, and I'll reintroduce myself in this stickied thread. CLICK HERE to read my original introduction. Location: Northern Ohio Current Vehicle: 2008 Subaru Outback 2.5XT Limited 5MT Experience: Lots of backpacking, hiking, and car-based tent camping over the years. I've never driven...

Thanks, @hospitablerobert We'll see where we end up. The above map are our outbound route alternatives. I'm hoping our return trip looks something like this! :grin:

Thank you! Yep, you've most likely seen my photos, as I'm on clubWRX.net (just sold my 2002 WRX Wagon after 13 years) and SubaruOutback.org, as well as some other sites. And I have a smugmug gallery with all the photos, which gets crawled by Google, et al.

Fantastic video; funny, yet poignant! I also posted it for my friends to enjoy. Thanks, @19854runner !

I know where you got your inspiration! "Number 5 is alive!" :grinning: But seriously, that's looking great, @Robert OB 33/48

Congrats to the new moderators! But don't do what I did a few years back. I was a moderator on a Vespa forum, and got extremely tired of the lack of support by the site owner, who seemed to be trying to sabotage his own forum. I eventually banned myself! I had no idea that could be done, but I...

This sounds well thought out! Many forums reward post whoring or popularity, neither of which are necessarily valuable assets, while the unpopular guys who answers every tech question get no reward. Your scheme sounds pretty balanced by comparison.

Exactly! If I don't have any cell signal for the entire trip, I will be ecstatic! :grinning:

My 2008 Subaru Outback (purchased new) currently has 37,000 miles (60,000 km)

Welcome Mike! (@mbwesner ) That's exactly the truck I would like to get one of these days! Same year (last of the V8s) color, and trim level. Did you find one with the HD Package? I too have enjoyed David's (OB#0001) photos, and would love to come even close to what he's put together.

Exploring the USA In a Subaru Outback

Our youngest daughter graduated from high school this past spring, and on September 18th, we will be taking her to Seattle for college. Heading out (from Ohio) will be a straight through Interstate trip. Coming back will be exploring as many out-of-the-way places as we can find for anywhere from...

I'm using my vehicle much differently than most of you, but I just put a set of Yokohama Geolandar A/T-S 215-60-17 all-terrain tires on my Outback. I would have gone with the Cooper AT3s if they had been available in the size I need. I'm limited on diameter due to my suspension geometry. The...

Welcome aboard, @NoOneBetter It looks like you have a wonderful area to go exploring. There's nothing remotely like that here in northern Ohio.

This reflective tape ought to keep anyone from running into me, or busting a shin! If you want to follow along on our upcoming cross-country trip, follow or like one (or all) of these social media accounts: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ExploringTheUSA Twitter...

Thanks for getting things up and going on the new software! From previous experience running my own forums, and moderating a few others, the behind the scene work can be frustrating. It is all worth it, though, 'cause now we can continue growing and sharing our experiences. Nice job! Steve
