Enthusiast III
I’ve never posted a build thread before so I guess I’ll do this how I think it is supposed to go. So first, why an outback? Well I had an f150 that I loved but dealing with a local dealer trying to get them to honor a warranty on a known issue was impossible. So I sort of sold it to the dealer out of spite and it being during Covid I ended up getting more money that I paid for it, I wasn’t upset about it cause I hated filling it up and rode my motorcycle 99% of the time. Fast forward 5 months and I was hit by a car getting groceries nothing serious but enough to scare the lady into saying “you need another car”. The search began and a truck was out of the questions as the market was unreasonably high and still is. I had a Crosstrek before the truck that I did some mods to, so I’ve been down the road of Subaru before. I wanted something with led room being 6’5 that narrows down the options, I wanted something with good gas mileage and enough room in the back I could sleep in it. That really left me with one option and that was an outback. And it ended up actually being cheaper to get a brand new one than a used one which blew my mind. So there it is. Car currently has 22000 miles on it coming up on a year of ownership and I love the dang thing. What solidified my choice was taking it up some extremely tore up roads to get to a hiking trail. So the parts list began. Skids showed up today, overload springs are on the way along with new wheels. There’s some things I’ve bought em before this thread like an awning, roof box, and mattress for the back. I’m excited to put some solid exploring miles under the tires this year.
