Brat Driver
February 2021
Well, after a horrendous year last year, I have decided to sell 90% of my belongings and go full time Overlanding in my 82 Subaru Brat. Crazy, I know. I retire from the military soon, so that will be my income source for a while. Ill stay local at first in the San Diego area, probably on Camp Pendleton at one of the campsites, but after my retirement is finalized I plan on overlanding up the PCH to Washington, and hopefully Victoria BC if the boarders are open. After all of that in Sept/Oct I am enrolling into fabrication school, and will rent an RV spot by the school in LA to park the truck, and utilize my other car for day to day driving. I should be able to save about $2000 a month rent by doing this, pay off some bills, and save up for a small house by next summer.
Ive already sold off my furniture. Now I am in the prepping phase of going through my equipment, organizing, and storing the remaining items I am keeping in storage on base.
My Brat is an 82, it has a 1996 Subaru Legacy EJ22, 5 speed hi/low transmission, custom made lift and Bilstein long travel suspension, rear Torq locker, full LED conversion, GMSR radio, 40qt fridge on dual batteries, 6000lb MotoAlliance winch, TJM RTT, Subaru Forester brakes, a portable shower, chuck box with grill and everything, and storage for tools, recovery gear, and clothes. 235/75/15 Achilles Desert Hawk XMT tires among many other things that round it out.
