Hi guys my vehicle is a 2010 Subaru Forester that is mainly stock at this point. I did pick up a set of 16 inch factory steel wheels that I cleaned up and painted

will be going on with A/T tires here in the next couple weeks. My plan is to have a great family vacation rig. We love to camp and get out and explore. Long term plan is 2” front 2.5” rear lift, skid plates, rally bar(Like to have something made that is legit and durable). But this is it and I love it.

I have finished painting the 16” steel wheels I picked up a couple weeks ago, they were ruff. I had to strip some rusting with naval jelly. Afterward i primed and painted them. I’m happy with the results. Should get new tires on this coming week or so. IMG_0415.JPGIMG_0419.JPGIMG_0455.JPG

Welcome and good luck with your Subaru! Feel free to reach out to me or in the Subaru registry thread if you ever have any questions.
 
Newest update! Just ordered my Anderson Design Fabs lift. Only adding 1 inch on the front and 1 3/8 in the rear. Nothing to drastic. I will have close to 10 inches of clearance, but enough to get some decent size tires. 1 step closer. Plenty to go!

That’s cool, I’m a total noobie. Looking to better handle fire roads and logging trails around the area, and in the Allegheny National Forest. This is our “big” family car.

So I picked up a 70$ locking rifle case on offer up for 15$ and could not pass it up. I’m going to use it on my roof rack to hold my shotgun and fishing rods and reels.

Just finished up my DIY roof basket. It is made out of old steel shelving that held kegs. It’s two pieces held together with cable ties and thread lock. Used black wheel paint! Going to use lashing straps to attach to roof bars IMG_0599.JPGIMG_0601.JPGIMG_0598.JPG

Between the brown patches paint doesn’t matter. The rack lacked stability as two pieces. Allot of bow, no enough rigidity. I did however use a single on very nicely.
