Much OHV tracks there, or were you there strictly to camp?

I used to do backcountry day trips in my lifted Subaru Forester softroader...
I'm confident that everything the Subaru could do, this one can do better.

Had no clue you could get lift kits for Subaru's... Learn something new everyday. Expensive?
Ya gotta post elevations too Heh!
The kit for my later model was $500 for 2" of lift. Older models you can get 4-6" of lift on but requires extensive work approaching $1K. I didn't want to get to the cutting stage of lift kits, so I started over with a Wrangler.
Plus you can't get a low range with an auto (Older manuals had an available low range) and there was not an available rear locker for the stock rear diffs.
Great vehicles for extreme dirt roading, they just don't have the aftermarket that the Wrangler provides.
