Hi I’m mike and I’m from the Syracuse,NY area and I’ve got a Sunshine Orange 2018 Subaru Crosstrek Limited that I have named Otto after the Syracuse mascot Otto the Orange.

The first mod I did besides switching the interior lights to LED was to install a Drawtite hitch it was easy to install and I decided to remove the bumpers make it easier to get the bolts in (it’s easy just more steps) View attachment 64751

The next thing was to install the wiring harness on a Subaru it’s a piece of cake it’s as easy as plugging a module into the pre run wires

The next mod I did was to install some hella sharptones as the factory horns are weak

Future plans are Motegi MR139 wheels wrapped with Falken Wildpeak A/T3W 235/75R15 but first I need to get a lift kit so they will fit and I’m leaning towards the ADF 1 1/2 front and 1 7/8 rear

I'm love the ADF lift on my 2017 Outback, 2" in front and 2 3/8" in rear. Still rides like stock, couldn't even tell the difference before and after. Patrick is a standup gentleman.
