If anyone is interested in watching my modded '17 Forester in action I just recently posted a video of a trip I did in the canyonlands of Oregon. Give it a like and subscribe if you find worthy.

I made a cinematic video of my trip in a forester converted into a camper I used to explore Iceland. The forester makes an appearence starting at 1 minute, after the narration/intro. Pretty cool river crossing at 2:10 Let me know what you think. I am working on another video with my...

Hey y'all! New member and first post! I was wondering if you guys could help me out. I recently got a 2011 that I really want to put a light off-road kit on. I've been doing a lot of research on different builds and tire sizes/types, lifts and all that jazz; but this will be my first experience...

Hi all, so I have a 2016 2.5i (NA) and I've confirmed fitment of the LP1 15x7 with LP Adventure over email, but I'm still a little concerned about that offset. I'm thinking of putting a 215-75-15 AT tire on there too. OEM wheel offset is +48 and from what I've found the acceptable range is down...

Hey Everyone, Long time lurker, first time poster. What're some of the easy beginner trails that a stock 17 can do in Colorado? The only real upgrade I have is AT tires. Looking for something with minimal ruts and rocks. I've looked through the site but I thought I'd put up a post since so...

Hello! As the title says, I am looking to get involved with offroad Subaru clubs in NC. I have a 2017 Forester XT and feel I want to modify it for better off-road capabilities. I was wondering if anyone has any advice or information on how I should start this journey or any communities I can...

Here’s my latest video on my Subaru Channel. Me and a buddy did a Friday the 13th overnighter on Bingham Mtn, a local Jeep trail in North Alabama. X-Mode came in handy a few times and the Subaru outperformed my expectations! Hope y’all enjoy! if you like it, throw your brother a subscription please!

I'm debating between 29" or 28.5" tires for the next go around on tire purchases and was hoping to get some insights from those of you currently running these sizes. I've got the 1.5" adf lift with subframe spacers and plan to put 16" wheels with +30 offset when I get new tires. Looking for info...

I’m trying to price out and find tires and rims for my 99 forester but I can’t find good rims out of Canada that fit the bolt pattern and 15” radians I need

Hey everyone. First post here so apologies if this has been covered. I've got a 2017 Forester limited and haven't seen specific info on whether or not 16" wheels are a viable option in this specific year/trim. I've seen talk of other SJs running the smaller wheel, but couldn't confirm if there...

I purchased my Forester in Aug of 2019. This was my second car purchase (my other car is a 2014 Crosstrek). I was so excited to find an XT in my price range and without a ton of miles, that I didn't take the proper steps to make sure I wasn't getting screwed by the dealer : ( Luckily when I...

TLDNR - Slight rubbing on front. Don't buy. Get the slightly smaller and pricier 225/60/r17. I couldn't find any good definitive answers on tyre sizes in all terrains for the SH around this site. I'de usually be that guy that figures it out and doesn't actually go back and ad my own post to...

Calling all city-dwellers: Show us pics of your urban off-roader and be sure to rep your hood! This is my girl, Cheryl in Philly.

USED Sparco Terra Black Painted Wheels 16"x7" 5x100 +40 offset with Falken WildPeak AT3W Tires 235/70R16 Used wheel & tire (1 of each only). Seems to still be a good amount of tread on the tire left. Decided to sell my 5th tire as I rarely use it and have determined that I don't quite have a...

So for those that are looking at doing a dual battery setup and on board air here is what I did in my 15xt. * its not fully finished yet. Will make it more a bit more professional looking. * Parts used: Redarc Bcdc1225D Redarc 40amp fuse kit 100 Ah, AGM, Group 27, Battery Viair medium duty...

I've looked pretty extensively online about how much a forester off road and done some research about the drive train with the goal of seeing how it stacks against 'more serious' 4wds, specifically those with central diff locking. I have heard that turning off VDC can be helpful in some slippery...

Hello, Long time lurker, first time poster. Hoping for some advice and assistance... I own a bit of Frankenstein-ish 2004 Forester: has JDM WRX engine, trans and drive train swap, STI shocks/struts and sway bars. It sits rather low and tucked obviously, and im looking to switch to a more stock...

Hey all, Looking to put some All terrain tires on my 2010, and I am tossing between BFG ko2, Yokohama Geolandar AT and potentially Cooper Discovery. I’ve heard many good things about th BFGs on foresters and many photos but not quite sure if they’re worth the extra cash. Will be doing some...

Hey, I have an 02 forester, im getting to a point where I’m going to be needing new tires here in a close while. I am looking at allterains, I’d like a good tire for off-roading, however I’m nervous about the amount of pavement driving that I do. Any suggestions on what tires y’all are running...
