Absolutely! I’m in. Don’t know much about the location, but I’m jonesing for an adventure.

From one Subaru owner to another, greetings from CA. Cheers mate!

Great stove! No ignition but that just means less room for failed parts. I agree it's easy to clean, although I wouldn't trust the specs with regards to cookware fitment. I'll have an 8" skillet and a 2.5qt pot and it can feel cramped, even with the wind-gaurds at there furthest position. Not...

@keith.gowan hey, thanks! I will definitely take you up on your offer! Much appreciate.

@Kent R I am super interested in this. Not seeing any updates on Rally Points though. Has a date been set? Are spots available still? Still waiting on NPS? Subaru capable? Cheers!

Hello all, I'm new to the OB neighborhood and thought I'd reach out to some locals. I've been [soft]roading for the last 5+ years in my 2018 Forester (and previous vehicles), but in the last 2 years I have been yearning to push myself/vehicle further. Now I know Subarus are not true off-roaders...

Trasharoo on a Subaru

Maybe not the intended application, but function over form when you don’t have a rear carrier (yet). Gearing up for a 9-10 day excursion from Texas to California: Big Bend NP, Lincoln NF, White Sands NM, El Camino del Diablo, and Anza-Borrego SP. Pack in, pack out; leave no trace; leave it...

Acquiring First Aid and training for the trails...

@Smileyshaun update: after spinning on your wheel size I reviewed the picture of your Forester. Looks like it was a 2.5, which does not share the same size front brakes as the XT model (bigger brakes in the XT). I was so confused. Nevertheless, sorry your Forester was a lemon. I’m please with...

Wow really?! Do you remember the offset? I was under the impression that 16 & 15s couldn’t fit over the larger brakes on the SJ foresters. Otherwise I would have bought 16” rims to save the weight!

@Jim SoG Cheers! Appreciate the acknowledgment.

@Smileyshaun I take it you sprung for the brake conversion. 16” and below BR rims are an astonishing 16lbs and I wish I could go that route. At 17” they jump to 21lbs and I could feel it immediately once they were installed, haha. 235/65 is my next size once my current tires need changing...

First light bar on the Forester complete

Starting my lighting system, finally. Purchased Diode Dynamics' 30" Amber Combo light bar to install behind the front grille. I've been wanting to do this mod for a long while and I am super stoked on the finished product. I went with Diode Dynamics because I believe in there quality (8yr...

Good day fellow OB compatriots, Been road tripping/camping out of my '18 Subaru Forester for the last 2+ years but would like to start getting further of highway and deeper into public lands. Trying to build up my [soft]road skills and push my rig/self further. Would love to meet up for some...

Transmission Cooler mount up

Selling my Lowepro Gear backpack: 60$. Great bag with tons of storage for photo and/or film gear. Shows signs of wear but all the buckles, clips, and straps are intact; no frays or tears. Local pick up only: Long Beach, CA. Reach out on OfferUp: https://offerup.co/P7Lk7FlZydb or reach out to me...

Hi Frank, New member here. Wanting to push myself and Forester further off the highway and on to greater heights this year. I'm out Long Beach and would love to explore more of our local trails and expand my overlanding community. Any suggestions for meet ups, trail rides, etc. I can take part...
