Probably a good time for an updated picture of the Crosstrek. I’m really reaching the point of limitations. Definitely not abandoning the platform, but the next steps are going to be long, tedious, and expensive. - TD04 Turbo (just need to find a time I can have her down for a couple weeks...

I need to add a winch. What do you guys think about this early 60's Warn Belleview 6000? Cable actuated brake and everything. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My Subaru Crosstrek as it sits today. Changes since last post: 2" Lift (1" Mann Springs, 1" Paranoid Fab Spacers) 225/65R17 Yoko Geolandar G015 Bumpers Cut CB is mounted and functional Emergency Flashers are installed, two in the grille, two on the back of the rack. Oh, and that's a...

No, I don't have to remove them. That was one of my concerns as well. But the way the hood lifts up, the lights have TONS of clearance. Not even close to hitting anything. And no glare. 1). I have these angled towards the sides of the trail. That's the whole reason I added these was for...

Just picked it up from Lowes. I think it was an inch and a half wide? It's pretty thick, too, wanted it that way for rigidity. I think it's 1/8". Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

For now, it's used primarily with a tire adapter. https://www.amazon.com/Hi-Lift-LM100-Jack-LM-100-Lift-Mate/dp/B00042KGWG However, I'm a bad boy and have occasionally used it in the normal lift points (very unsafe, don't do that.) Beyond that, it's my mechanical winch to get me unstuck. I...

Not a whole lot to say. My brother and I made it because I was tired of my tiny Reese Basket, and had no easy, safe way of transporting longer or flatter objects, and the only mounting points were about 2ft apart. I also wanted to lower the flatbed to hopefully reduce wind noise and wind...

Bam. Don't think I've posted my car here before. 2014 Subaru Crosstrek CVT 1" Mann Engineering Lift Springs Pretty much everything else is either minuscule, or custom made, such as the roof rack. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@FozRoamer, looks like it was quite the clusterf--k to get that this all together, but I'm glad you did, thing looks sweet. Been wanting to do one on my Crosstrek, but as I still use it for work, and people see it, I want to make sure it looks perfect and is done right. So it'll have to wait...

While we do quickly run out of space, I've realized that we often bring more than really needed. I love being prepared to live in my car for extended periods of time. But the vast majority of my crosstreks "overlanding" use is camping in the middle of nowhere in the desert for a day or two...

That's for damn sure. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
