All these mods just make a good rig more capable. I put more aggressive tires with a bit more sidewall and it feels more sure-footed. I put oil pan and differential protection on to ensure I didn't have to replace a ripped off oil pan. The differential skid just looks cool.

I approach everything with a value approach, is it worth X dollars to do this? like the skid, I think that cost me about $180 to make with materials etc, and prevents things from poking holes in expensive things.. I don't think I would do the methods, because I really don't see how they can improve the offroad experience that much. I think (at least on mine) the limiting factor is the suspension.. Now if one just wants them because they like the way they look, and that's it, then that's cool too. I just don't see for me the justification, at least from a utility standpoint.. which is why I asked...mccustomize

Airbags have nothing to do with the ABS and speed of the vehicle, it's a mechanical check ball inside a sensor that sets off the airbags.

Money and expense is entirely subjective. Depends on what you make per hour as to whether it is a value or not. Someone making $300k a year will look at $250 spent differently than someone making $40k a year. I enjoy making things, but sometimes it pays to hire someone to do it and I just work my job. Nothing wrong with either way, but asking someone to justify their purchase, makes no sense

Paying for Methods and KO2's on my Subaru vs. the Trail Ready beadlocks and 40's on my Jeep....I just laughed and swiped the card. I love how cheap 15" wheels are.

Wow...I venture onto the Others forum and see this. That is one bad looking Subaru!

Happy 2018 all! A few pics from a day trip to Foothills State Forest in MN.

Thinking about getting RalliTEK stock height kyb struts built using their “over load” springs which bump the combined rear spring load by about 180lbs. My 2010 OB stock springs are really dragging ******** after 100,000 miles of adventure. Anyone else use their stuff?

I forgot that Subaru ownership is more or less a cult in Minnesota. Cool pix!

Nice video. How is that roof rack holding up? Are they Yakima mounts? Seems like a lot of weight for those tall towers. I really wish the Outback had a proper (normal) roof rack. There would be so many more options. I know some companies have successfully taken out the entire factory rack and put aftermarket rack/crossbars on there. I think Prinsu even did a full rack.
Anyway, cool car. Nice job.
