I found the Overland Subies!!! Hi everyone, I'm the new owner of a '16 Fozzy and formerly the proud owner of the #ILLSTI which was my baby. My wife and I have our first little one on the way, so I decided to get the "Dad Wagon" if you will lol I look forward to installing my 1.5" ADF Lift next week along with a bunch of adjustable suspensions components, Nameless dual exit exhaust for a XT with 5 inch mufflers mated to a 15 WRX midpipe and some Rally Armor mud flaps. I have my "hidden" bumper light bar with a 19,800 lumen setup in it, ditch lights go on in a couple weeks and will eventually add rear trail lights. Right now she sitting on 15 WRX wheels with 25mm hub adapters/spacers and BFG KO2s (225/65R17). Happy to be a part of the Subaru and Overlanding communities and be sure to give me a follow on Instagram @ILLFOZZ!
I'd love to see a side profile of your rig! I just received my 1.5" ADF kit and will be installing it next week.

this is my 2010 with a 1 inch front and 1 3/8 rear. Running 215/70/16s cooper discovery rtxNice! Which kit did you go with? I'll be installing my lift and suspension components tomorrow!
Sweet. Looks great! I'm doing the 1.5" ADF front and 1.5" multilink rear tomorrow.
Right on! Look forward to some pictures! Down the road I think I would like to go bigger. But this is my daily driver and I’m still paying for it. So I didn’t want to get to aggressive at this point. I think this lift makes for a good trail/ camping vehicle. No plan for deep mud bogs at this point for me!!

Found out what i thought was the front bumper scraping on ditches was actually the bumper buckling a little(look at the drivers side , No permanent damage but something that will need to be addressed and something to watch out for . 
What up ILLFOZ! Fellow San Diegan here as well and member of SDS and MtnRoo SD.
Nice! I was in SDS when we had 6 members lol Let's meet up Friday at the meet and take a pic for some trophy points!
Hey Overland Subies, here is my first Subaru: 2015 XV Crosstrek. My previous car was a Toyota Corolla and this Subaru has changed my life in such a positive way. Getting to learn/work on cars, Google Map browsing and camping more often, starting off-roading and overlanding. Best part was finding this community and befriendning other likeminded Subaru enthusiasts in local groups.
After first buying the car, I started out camping and driving to hiking trails. Then heard about this infamous group called MtnRoo, which led me to off-roading the car stock until my tires were literally bald. Upgraded to AT tires, lift kit, and skid plates.
Here are some of my favorite photos while going on adventures:
MtnRoo San Diego - Perseid Meteor shower trail run @ Mount Laguna / Cleveland National Forest
MtnRoo San Diego - Lyrids Meteor Shower @ Santa Rosa Mountains
Scouting for a desert camping trip @ Anza-Borrego Desert State Park / Sandstone Canyon / Fish Creek
MtnRoo San Diego - Trail run to find snow @ Thomas Mountain / Santa Rosa Mountain

Wow! You must have seen a lot of new faces come thru the years then. I'll try and make it. Picking up a hitch and rear spare tire carrier after work

Hey everyone, haven't updated this in a bit as I have only been out running and going through a big move with my home. Well here we go, traded out my old rack for a Front Runner rack with the RTT quick releases. And a new CVT Mt Shasta standard Pioneer 2+ RTT. All fits on real nice and rides super nice with the King Springs. No real road noise, had more noise with the old rack. Now to see what this does to my milage. LOL

Multi-time Subie owner here. Though our Overlanding rig is a Tundra & pop up camper, I still love Subarus and love seeing them geared up for Overland travel.
