Hey, all. I’m letting go of my starter Forester build, and figured I should start with the community of like-minded people most likely to appreciate it.
I picked the Forester up as a longer-term slow-build project, that must unfortunately be called off. The double whammy of work commitments and rapidly expanding family means I don’t get to wrench, and it doesn’t suit my needs. So, best to send off in search of new adventures. Give me a holler with interest or questions, I’ll do my best to respond quickly.

OK... For how long have you been using the vehicle?

I’ve had it a couple months - bought it from a coworker who used it as his daily for the past 17 years. When I bought it, the tires were just about dead and needed an alignment. I threw on the Geolanders and had the tie rods replaced while it was at the shop. $1200 later, I’m off to the races, hardware store runs and commuting duty. Life is great!
And then I found out that another kid is in the future, which means a 5-passenger SUV isn’t going to cut it.
I figured if I have to sell, it should be to someone who will appreciate the tire selection.

Oh... okay. Great.
