Hi @escape_the_paradigm , how is your rig doing? Did you ever figure out a full size spare solution? Looks great, thanks for all the pics. :)

@Terry Pickens , it took forever to get my tires (BFG was really slow on their shipment) but I finally have them. Five BFG KO2s, 225/65r17, and I finally have the answer. When fully deflated, this tire does not fit in the spare tire compartment. :/ I made it work, mostly, but it's kind of...

yeah. I was trying to avoid spamming up krazybastard's build thread too much but my reasoning is that I'm also about to get new tires/wheels, which would also require an alignment. So I'm considering trying to do it alone, finding/paying someone who can help, or finding a garage that can do it...

yea, the question is just which shop. :) I've chatted with a couple of people and there seems to be a little reluctance to install it if the kit isn't fabricated by themselves and the nearest ADF place is down in LA (Crestline). That being said, it's tempting to just try and do it myself, seems...

I'm going to deflate the spare into the normal compartment and carry a portable air compressor, hoping it will fit with my new setup... I ended up ordering a set of five MR502s with 225/65r17 BFG KO2s and should get them on within a week or two. Happy holidays!

Will you be installing that ADF kit yourself? Mine is finished and is about to be shipped to me and I need to find a bay area mechanic who will do it. Ideally I could pay a little extra and shadow them since I'd really love to learn as much as I can about how it's done.

hey all, I've been stalking the forum a bit since September but tonight I decided to to say hello officially. Location: San Mateo, CA Rig: '14 Forester XT Experience: I've gone on a number of fire roads that I probably shouldn't have while getting to trailheads.. :) I am generally into getting...

hey man, sorry for the delayed replay. I wanted to make some progress before responding and my progress is... slow lol. Since we last spoke, I have done the following: - installed the 3-part primitive skids - ordered a 1.5/1.75 ADF kit (like 3.5 weeks ago, I guess he's still building it...) -...

Hi krzyboy, thanks for posting all of this stuff! I love the work you've done so far. I bought a 2014 XT last year and I've been searching the internet far and wide to find info on doing more or less what you've already done. Like you, I go backpacking pretty regularly and often end up on fire...
