I've been slowly building this Outback over the last four years. These photos were taken at the Northwest Overland Rally in Plain, Washington this last weekend. I took off on a solo trail run up some of the Forest Service Roads. Beautiful country there.

It's narrow AF. It just neatly fits between the big rocks.

Here's my "Trailhead Approach Vehicle":

2002 WRX-Outback - "Frankenstein's Wagon"

Small lift from 2004 Outback Sport springs.
2006 WRX-TR 4-pot/2-pot brakes
STi Seats and trim bits

I've run various oversized M+S tires and taken it a variety of places I was promised only 4x4 trucks could go. Made a curtain kit and camped in the back several times, and generally used it as the most fantastic do-everything daily driver you can imagine. We only moved away from the platform when we had our baby and the amount of "necessary" gear went way up (and the tolerance for rough-camping when way down.)

Cool, i Know its a old thread..but curious what you replaced it with & how are your adventures with the new one?

Replaced with AWD Astro that I've converted to pop-top camper and 4x4 with low range:

It's been a good platform for us. We sleep 1-up, 2-down inside the van, and have all the comforts. Early in the process, the vehicle was also very useful as a "plain minivan" which saw a lot of action hauling strollers, etc. Now it's strictly our "adventure vehicle".

I kept the "Outback WRX" until just a couple of years ago. Replaced with a german wagon in the quest for more creature comforts, but damn if I don't miss driving my Subie every day...

Love that van.....although the subie would complete the set

If I'm mounting a roof top tent to my Foz, do I need anything besides the crossbars? I see some people have baskets under them...

 

[Stroverlander]

The crossbars are fine, the rtt should come with mounting hardware and brackets. I prefer to mount rtt as close to roof as possible to keep weight and profile lower.

I prefer the Yakima bars because they are very sturdy vs stock bars.
