Not going to lie. I would probably just sit on the ground and stare at your car for many moments. You have terrific lines that go with all your gear. Proud to know another Forester is out there making it happen on the overlanding track.

My wife's daily driver...2004 Outback VDC (3.0 6-cyl, VTD AWD, redundant moonroofs, etc.)

I might have to check that place out. Didn't know it existed.

Some pics of my 2015 Outback 2.5l Premium. First modification was a 19mm rear swaybar for better road handling. Then I got the Yakima LoadWarrior basket (probably never use it but it was too cheap to pass up). Then I got carried away. 225/65/17 Yokohama Geolander G015 tires on Sparco Terra wheels, LP Aventure brush guard with armor plates and the LP Aventure Skid plate. Not pictured is my "brush guard enhancement", an aluminum frame covered with 1/2" hardware cloth that I use once a month for my trip "up the mountain".

the decrease in already horrible approach angle with that bar is painful.
It does look cool though

Worst part about the Crosstrek - not a lot of room for provisions

Worst part about the Crosstrek - not a lot of room for provisions

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.

Yup. The fortunate part is the tent holds the comforter, some sheets, two pillows, and two small throws.

Yeah, this is quite true. I need to find some padding that I can keep up in the tent...once I solve that riddle then it's on!

New / old pic of the Forester.

As of last weekend, this vehicle is retired.

A good many adventures were had, but we outgrew it. Picked up a Chrysler Town & Country with many, many buttons and a TV for the little one. Going to outfit it with a folding / removable sleeping platform. The Forester will be getting an engine swap, freshening up, then sold.

That forester is AWESOME! Sad to see it go. If you were closer I would buy it for my son.

Sounds like an epic road trip with your son. Fly in, drive out.

First off road trip with 1100 miles on the odometer. It was much easier to drive than my mazdaspeed 3 was on dirt

Mazda 3s are a lot of fun, too ... sold mine, bought a Crosstrek
