I'm sorry to hear about your Forester.. I' actually looking into getting another Forester soon myself. I had an 04 FXT a decade ago and it was fully modified in a different way (bigger turbo, Cobb AP, etc.) but I think I'm gonna pick up a new Wilderness and do something similar I am doing with this Trek. Thanks for subbing!
The plates are amazing. I have had them on two crosstrek and slid down trails on them. Hard hits trying to keep up with tacomas and never had a problem with them. I got the ones with the oil drain holes and the local jiffy lube guys don't have a problem getting in there without taking them off.
s0 I know its a pain in yhe ass but i power wash the salt off after every snow run. as someone who grew up in Hawaii rust is a big ole pain. and I've gotten the spray down real quick
I know this an old video but I have some input for the fog lights. Instead of replacing the bulb you can get online 'yellow film' that clings to the light shell. Just cut to fit and stick on. EZ and inexpensive. I've done this on several motorcycles and cars.
So I've done these vinyl overlays in the past and yes it does work. But I actually wanted LED (higher lumen) brighter bulbs in place for more lighting in general, not just change the color.
Nice to see what you've done. I have a 2021 Crosstrek Sport and have lifted it 2" and I have 17" rims and I put on the Toyo All Terrains III's also but in 225/65 17" which gives me 28.9" if I remember right. Also have the skid plate but had mine drilled for the oil drain .. and I put in a FuMoto valve to drain the oil .. I'm fussy about oil changes. I put on a tower brace and found that helps with lateral control and I have a K&N filter on it. Leaving for my 3rd trip into Death Valley on the 20th .. no problems on any trip and I do go off road and air down to 12 lbs usually. I sleep in the Trek and have all my gear inside .. I do have a Rough Country roof rack where I keep my shovel and max tracks and anything else that doesn't fit inside. I also have a 2001 Ford Explorer Sport 2Dr that's pretty heaviely modified for off road. 🤠
Thank you for sharing! Your build sounds exciting. You sleep in your Crosstrek?! I also have a Pathfinder that has solar, bed, etc for weekend camping purposes. I’m curious to see how much space you have and what mods you made to made the trek comfortable to sleep in
@@PatrickKasilag ill be getting my 2022 Crosstrek sport in a few weeks, i would like to do a 2 inch lift, from what I’ve seen, everyone has done their own lift and not through the dealership. Any advice you can give me? I know doing it yourself would void a lot of warranty, if i do it through the dealership everything will still covered
@@legionclips8910 Well if you get a lift kit and Subaru finds out, it can only potentially void the warranty for your suspension-related components. For example, if your transmission fails or a part of your engine needs to be serviced/replaced, the lift kit is completely irrelevant to that part of the car so it should still be covered under warranty. Same thing goes with getting an intake or exhaust installed.. Then your brake master cylinder or caliper starts leaking during the warranty period, it should still be covered since that part of the vehicle is not modified. I recommend calling your local performance shops for estimates if you are not comfortable taking the car to the dealership or installing the lift yourself.
@@PatrickKasilag...in theory that is how it (the Magnuson-Moss Act) is supposed to work...however, in reality, it is a much more complicated affair. They (the dealer) can also tie in a lift to the drivetrain, based on a new/different half-shaft angle. Plus, if you run a much larger tire than spec'd, that too ties into suspension, driveline/engine and even brakes. So, one must be careful when stepping outside the factory design bounds and have a good working relationship with your servicing dealer. But if you are willing to go mod crazy during the factory warranty period, be prepared (have a plan) to be denied warranty coverage, even if the part is not directly connected to the modified areas....it's all about liabilities....
@@PatrickKasilag you just need to get Crawford lift kits and parts and itll be covered by warranty, also if you actually offroad try to order more front sway bar bracket extensions youre gonna be going through alot of those with the SSD
The reason I would want all the reflective red area is because bad drivers can’t see what’s in front of them half the time. If the red reflectors help the blind stupid drivers see me, all the better. More practical to me for safety. 4:45
Question (for all) . Will these (or most of) also work on the Crosstrek base model as well ? I liked how you explained the 2" lift wouldn't change much in the way the car handles or drives
and if you havent yet bro. please do yourself a favor and get the rain gaurds for the windshields. makes these things look soooo much better haha mod 11.
came to see your fog light pods. i see u got a reflector overlay. i totally cut my own vinyl out to match the shape of the taillights haha it looks great. either way thosr stock ones were ridic looking
If you had just put on the bigger tires, without the lift, do you think the tires would still have rubbed? Also, did you do any speedometer recalibration, if not how far off is the speedometer?
Yes, no doubt this size would still rub without a lift. I would not put on any larger than 215/75r15 if you don’t plan on doing a lift. I did not get a speedo calibration since it’s only about 2-3 MPH off when I’m going 65.
What kind of offset is on the rims? I have a 2019 Subaru crosstreck with a +48mm offset. I can’t find a set of 15 inch rims with more that a +15mm offset. I do have 225/75r15 for tires. Thank you for the awnser in advance.
Hi Patrick, favour to ask… I’ve ordered a new cross trek which will be delivered earlier next month. My ask is that could you kindly let me know what the bolt hole measurements are on your skid plate as I’ve acquired a metre by metre by 5mm thick piece of aluminium. I’d very much like to mirror the sizes of your engine guard for my car when it arrives. Thank you for your help, much appreciated.
Waiting on my Limited to come in. Traded in my second (loaded) Outback. Am hoping I Iike it as much. Got same color as yours. Wanted blacked out wheels but not an option. Really like yours! Love your modifications. We have a big pickup for trips but I will probably always drive a Subaru. Subscribed.
Same here, got a beater outback sport a few months ago and thru it convinced my parents to buy a brand new 6 speed crostrek limited...were waiting for it right now, cant wait
Great looking Crosstrek! I was curious about the fog light you mounted on the hood. Do they actually help during foggy conditions, being that high up and far back? I like the look of them on the vehicle. Also with the larger tires do you notice any difference with gas mileage? Great video man, Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! The pod lights on the hood are actually for when the headlamps and fog lights on the bumper get covered in mud and dust, then I have a third set of lights to illuminate the road/path. The larger wheels/tires have reduced my MPG about 2MPG with a lot of highway driving.
Has anyone heard of any cons of offroading with the premium trim levels with the 2.0L engine?? I have the premium and I want to start adding mods i just want to make sure im not wasting my time with this trim level.
Hi Patrick, excellent videos, question: can I go for AT tires keeping the 17' wheels? (225/55/R17 originals) If yes, what number do you think is the best. Thanks in advance.
yes! Been looking at options that won’t interfere with my tow hitch. At the end of the day, this is still my fiancés car and she doesn’t want it to be full time loud so I’m looking at options equipped with an electric passage valve to skip the muffler baffling.
Can you introduce the first phase to replace the original AM FM CD with a more advanced GPS? How to choose, for example: what model is suitable for a few years to years...
You can install a set of Diode Dynamics: amzn.to/3ZerViH My Crosstrek came with fogs so I'm not sure if it comes pre-wired from factory. It wouldn't be difficult to install some wiring though. Contact DD about their kit and ask about recommendations for wiring options!
@Patrick Kasilag that's dope car looks pretty sick, must be fun in the snow .... I have 2018 jeep wrangler Sahara but it's only gets me 15-18 mpg... I love the my jeep but I kinda want something more agile and better mpg... still thinking tho
Actually been almost 3 years with the lift kit on! Still good, but rear shocks now starting to show wear.. But it’s to be expected since I’ve put 74K miles on them and occasionally carry a dirt bike on a hitch on the Crosstrek.
You didn't get an added 1" with the wheels, added to the 2" lift kit. The tire as a whole is 1" taller. The only thing you gained was where the hub sits to the bottom of the ground where it meets the ground. Which wouldn't of been a lot
Спасибо огромное автору канала за полезную информацию,я из России и рассматриваю к покупке данный авто,лайк и подписка,удачной вам эксплуатации данного автомобиля!
Depends on the wheel spoke design, but majority of the clearance concerns would come from offset. If it's a 15x7" wheel, then most wheels between +35 to +10 should fit. Calipers would rub on most with higher than +35 offset. This set is a +15 offset, no issues.
@@PatrickKasilag i heard from few people in jeep group they told we need to calibrate speedometer because if not it will read wrong odometer and speedometer it won't good for service i'm not sure because i have plant to buy crosstrek hybird i have wrangler jl but it easy to calibrate speedometer with alot of tool you can buy online but with the crosstrek i don't know alot about subaru by the way thank you bro
I installed the lift at 26K miles, went to the dealer for recalls at 52K, no warranty related items were brought up. Car now has 68K miles and still no issues with suspension. A lift kit would also only void warranty for anything suspension-related, not powertrain or electronics.
Bigger tires does not, as long as you don't go too big that it damages anything by constantly rubbing on it. A lift kit can potentially void warranty coverage on suspension components only.

hey bud, why did you upgrade the rims as well ad not just upgrade the tires and keep the stock rims? what is the benefit in that or was t for looks?
Mostly due to limited 18” wheel all terrain tire size options. 15” has a ton more options and wheels are lighter also

Absolutely! With the Eyesight system, makes it very safe
Hey! Just wanted to see how your car is after a year with that lift kit on it?
Actually been almost 3 years with the lift kit on! Still good, but rear shocks now starting to show wear.. But it’s to be expected since I’ve put 74K miles on them and occasionally carry a dirt bike on a hitch on the Crosstrek.

Yes, cut the overall diameter added in half. 1.2" OD difference = only 0.6" added ground clearance (on top of the lift.)
What PSI were you running on your Crosstrek?
Depends on the terrain. 31 PSI on road, 16-20 PSI in slow-speed rocky / muddy terrain

Wheel dealers keep telling me that 15's won't work because the brake calipers will rub. Have you seen this with yours?
Depends on the wheel spoke design, but majority of the clearance concerns would come from offset. If it's a 15x7" wheel, then most wheels between +35 to +10 should fit. Calipers would rub on most with higher than +35 offset. This set is a +15 offset, no issues.
So with uodrage wheels and bigger tires how do you do calibrate the speedometer because dealer ship don't do that for you thank you bro
I have not gotten it calibrated yet. It's only about 2-3 MPH off at 75 MPH though.

@PatrickKasilag oh nice glad you responded I was thinking the hatchback one
Very informative. Well done. Thank you.

Does this feel underpowered at all?
Did the lift void any of the warranty?
I installed the lift at 26K miles, went to the dealer for recalls at 52K, no warranty related items were brought up. Car now has 68K miles and still no issues with suspension. A lift kit would also only void warranty for anything suspension-related, not powertrain or electronics.
Does a lift or bigger tires void any warranties?
Bigger tires does not, as long as you don't go too big that it damages anything by constantly rubbing on it. A lift kit can potentially void warranty coverage on suspension components only.
So awesome. I love my crosstrek. Hopefully do some these mods. Thanks for the ideas.
