I loved this. It didn’t make me think, “yeah! I can run right out and do this!” But it definitely reassured me that if I make a mistake and get myself onto a rough road, I’ll know that with some careful driving, a few friends, and some rocks….I’ll make it out!! Thanks!
Probably over the limit of what the OBW was designed for, would be much more comfortable and fun out on a beach somewhere than rock crawling. Cool to see though, thanks for uploading!
I respect this way more than the jokers who run overbuilt rigs that never even push the limits. They seem to run trails together and get impatient when rock stacking or winching is needed.
@@beexiong2995you're reeking with jealousy man. You're probably butthurt you needed 38 inch tires to do this. The man is testing the limits of his Outback, and his driving. He plays, he pays. Unless you pay for his damages car, which was not.
Subaru's X-Mode AWD magic and excellent driving skills makes the un doable, doable! 👏 Even though not a fan of the revised cvt on the Wilderness, it still manages well above its competition. Thank you Subaru
I was one of the guys in this video (under armour gray hat and dark green hoodie), it was my first time going out with this group, I was thoroughly impressed by the subaru.
That is quite a challenge. I give you a lot of credit for even getting on that path. The wilderness is very capable and able to out do the Toyota rav4 and crv/hrv, easily…….No competition there. But that just looked like one crazy trail for the outback. I’m not sure I would have gone through that. Viva Subaru 🏆🥇
Awesome, good driving and good spotting. Pushing it for sure, it's too bad these subarus don't have a transfer case, even just 1.5: 1 like some of the old ones. Yet this guy did a great job crawling in control despite the lack of one.
Always two thoughts for me. First, people just under-estimate how capable a Subaru Outback can be. Second, people over-estimate how capable a Subaru Otuback can be! LOL. We've been looking for something to do overlanding and in AZ we have a LOT of these riverbead type trails, so a Tacoma would be a great choice. But then I know we do so much easier backroad travel that the comfort and gas mileage of the Outback would be awesome. Until prices come down a bit I'll just keep watching these kinds of vids and wondering wich to do. Cheers!
Definitely curious on that winch mount I have been looking for one for my obw. Only pre fab one I've seen is the warn semi hidden winch bumper but they said they could confirm that it would fit the wilderness.
There’s another dude on TH-cam that takes his Outback on stuff like this constantly in his Wilderness. It’s everyday people pushing these things to the limit. Subaru never releases shit like this (but they should)
I love the outback wilderness, but it was at its limit for this trail, perhaps beyond its limit. Why I chopped up my 09 forester (see my videos) for better approach and departure angle.
Stacking rocks is pretty common if a trail is difficult enough, even for purpose built vehicles like a wrangler. I wouldn't say it's necessarily a sign the vehicle can't do it. If it couldn't, it wouldn't go anywhere no matter how many tiny rocks they moved. This was definitely it's upper limit though, which pretty impressive all things considered.
@@shikcheese3234 I agree to a point. When you do that you also are modifying and changing the trail and I kinda see it as a gate keeper that if you have to do that to that degree, it's the trail saying you should not be on it
I brought my family to a mine near Las Vegas in my Ascent. The last 0.4 mile is too hard, so I decided to walk to there. My son said, it's actually faster than driving the car.😆
Great video but it actually makes me miss my 2018 Wrangler JL Rubicon more than ever having just gotten a 2024 OB Wilderness. This trail would not have been too challenging for it vs my OBW. 😞
Eh… its not worth thrashing the car in my opinion, but definitely fun to watch. Maybe with a 2” lift it would have been a little better for the Subaru.
This trail was wayyy too much for the wilderness and this is why the off-road community looks at us like we are a joke. No disrespect at all because it did well for the most part but it’s just too much for it. I also have a wilderness and will be pushing its limits on imogene pass next year. Take care!
Subbies don't have the approach or departure angles for this. I dont even think this has a lift. Plus they lack tire size and torque. They are for light to moderate off-road stuff. Not this. They are the kings of snow and ice though
Another thing hurts the outback are their really long or longer wheelbase as they have made them bigger. Same with Foresters. My 2012 forester is actually like 4 inches shorter than the new ones. Helps some going up in over stuff.
Fantasy for Cadillac thats for sure. Gosh I bet the Prius could do this also if enough rocks we’re moved to make it a paved road. Take that Subaru and your magnificent xmode
Are you a group of construction workers? Is this a proper off-roading? I do not understand why you guys doing this. It is like that an skinny elementary kid is doing rock climbing with couple of ropes around his shoulder. Hahaha

This has to be the best video showing the capabilities of the Outback Wilderness. Can't believe he got through that trail. Great job!
Thanks…but it was not just the car. Lots of folks helped with that trail, not something we planned on but it was there so we went over.
@@archspeed8916 definitely wasn't the car lol
Or the merits of simply backpacking and walking your way through this instead ;-)
A jeep would of sneezed through that JS!
@@vilhelmstein2091 if it wasn't the car, try it with a sedan
Subaru should provide shovels and a full crew to help build the trail as you go 😆
Probably over the limit of what the OBW was designed for, would be much more comfortable and fun out on a beach somewhere than rock crawling. Cool to see though, thanks for uploading!
Who needs a lift kit when you have an army of rock stackers 😂😂
I respect this way more than the jokers who run overbuilt rigs that never even push the limits. They seem to run trails together and get impatient when rock stacking or winching is needed.
Respect means nothing if you destroy your rig. That's just being too cocky. More respect for those who know what they should or should not do.
No rock stacking should be needed.
They overbuild the rigs to run to grocery stores and over railroad crossings 😂😂. This little Subaru had some gusto to it that’s for sure 🏆

Amazing teamwork and very capable Subaru Wilderness! New subscriber!👍

@@markm7677I'm surprised by jealous haters lol. Butthurt that a stock Subaru conquered the same trail where they needed 38 inch tires
i'm assuming you had underbody protection?

Are those LP Aventure bumper guard and sliders?
Wow ... Wow .. thats all I can say.
Great video, thank you so much.
May i ask what color that Outback is ?
Awesome, good driving and good spotting. Pushing it for sure, it's too bad these subarus don't have a transfer case, even just 1.5: 1 like some of the old ones. Yet this guy did a great job crawling in control despite the lack of one.
Where did you find your winch setup? The word on the street is that there isn’t a prefab kit that will fit the Wilderness edition.🤷♂️

Not that I wouldn’t do it again…but it rather choose to not. Capable yes but requires way more time than a 4x4.
Definitely curious on that winch mount I have been looking for one for my obw. Only pre fab one I've seen is the warn semi hidden winch bumper but they said they could confirm that it would fit the wilderness.
I really wanna know what that winch is too
these spotters were amazing 👏 also what kind of tires are those?
Round
Unbelievable! The more I see, the more I am impressed by the Wilderness option.
Love this so much. Looks like so much fun 😊
There’s another dude on TH-cam that takes his Outback on stuff like this constantly in his Wilderness. It’s everyday people pushing these things to the limit. Subaru never releases shit like this (but they should)
Hey bub I need to know about the winch help me out did u fab it
Good job directing
Be a great lease return not a scratch on it LMAO... this was amazing guys ....
I love the outback wilderness, but it was at its limit for this trail, perhaps beyond its limit.
Why I chopped up my 09 forester (see my videos) for better approach and departure angle.
Needs a 2-3 inch lift for this trail
Where did you get the front winch? That front bumper looks modified to make it fit.
Where is this trail, i want take my 2023 Wilderness there
Is it Lifted? Would've help a little more
I wonder what the resale value will be :) Great Job and amazing build!
I don't think outback is meant to go off road like that !
I love the subaru, but damn this is just asking to rip that front bumper off.
Is this worth it?
what psi is he running? and what kinda of sliders?
Where did you get your front lower grill from? Dope video btw.
looks like the lp aventure sliders and bumper guard, ive got the same on mine, but they did some custom fitting for that winch for sure.
@@MrSmith-rk4jq thank you
You need some lightweight ramps , great video!
This was impressive of course but if you have to stack rocks the entire way through a trail maybe that's a trail it shouldn't be on....
Stacking rocks is pretty common if a trail is difficult enough, even for purpose built vehicles like a wrangler. I wouldn't say it's necessarily a sign the vehicle can't do it.

Also... major shout out to the spotters. Great job
Outback is made for open wilderness like the Australian outback. You need a heavily altered jeep or truck for this.
Instead of showing what this car can do off road, I think you've shown what it can't!
Still a good showing considering that most people won't try to take their out a k rock crawling 😂
What do you mean it can't? It passed the obstacle
You can really see how bad that approach angle is. The nose constantly wants to dip down.
Quite the landscaping company you got there!
Great job. What roof rack and add ons are you running? Thanks
Thanks! It’s a FrontRunner with spare tire and fuel cans. Milwaukee modular box. RoamAdventure awning.
@@archspeed8916 thank you.
I brought my family to a mine near Las Vegas in my Ascent. The last 0.4 mile is too hard, so I decided to walk to there. My son said, it's actually faster than driving the car.😆
That was... bananas! Amazing team of spotters and some good driving. Were the tires and lift stock (for the Wilderness)?
It’s a Wilderness with a 2” lift. Old factory sti wheels and more aggressive AT’s. It was a whole team effort.
That's a crazy trail
what tire size are those? it looks like stock size?
It is factory size. Next set I do will be larger, 245/65-17
Great video but it actually makes me miss my 2018 Wrangler JL Rubicon more than ever having just gotten a 2024 OB Wilderness. This trail would not have been too challenging for it vs my OBW. 😞
Eh… its not worth thrashing the car in my opinion, but definitely fun to watch. Maybe with a 2” lift it would have been a little better for the Subaru.
It already had a 2 inch lift on top of the standard Wilderness ground clearance.
This trail was wayyy too much for the wilderness and this is why the off-road community looks at us like we are a joke. No disrespect at all because it did well for the most part but it’s just too much for it. I also have a wilderness and will be pushing its limits on imogene pass next year. Take care!
There is a video of a Crosstrek and 5th Gen RAV4 completing Imogene pass. You should be good!
When are you heading out to Imogene? I'll be doing the same with my wilderness next year
@@JDS-Dalton probably sometime around July
@@ericpelton4157 perhaps I'll see you out there! I'll be with a group myself
@@JDS-Dalton awesome! I’ll keep a lookout for you.
Try putting 255 on the outback have an impreza great on dirt roads and mud. Does not have the ground clearance for offroading.
U gotta be kidding...taking a ski car into Jeep country!
Awesome job
subaru ✊❤
Thought it was a mini van for a second
Poor car lol but cool video love the obw
Now for sale at a CarMax near you 🤣 "Never been off road!"
Subbies don't have the approach or departure angles for this. I dont even think this has a lift. Plus they lack tire size and torque. They are for light to moderate off-road stuff. Not this. They are the kings of snow and ice though

The Wilderness is almost an inch higher than a regular outback.
Insane!
hope thats not an out and back trail!
holy shit
Enough of tech but not enough ground clearance. This is crazy it's not for a stock vehicle of any kind! This cannot be fun.
rearranging environment to suit your vehicle isn't off-roading.
That thing needs a lift and bigger tires
This trail is on the easy scale for most jeeps though... just makes this seem silly.
Wooow ! :)
should definitely have additional lift. Or just 10 friends
I feel like if you lifted this car another teo inches or so and removed the front bumper it would fair much better
Move enough rocks and you can get a civic down that path.
How to cut the resale value of your car in half in one easy trail.
lol I own an outback, so I dont meant to criticize, but I can just image a jeep or a 4runner just walking over all of this in 1/4 the time lol
You can go anywhere with a pit crew.
And this is why I’ll never buy a used Wilderness.
Dont buy any used XT. Guys are modeling them like a WRX now.
What not to do in your $45k Wilderness.
Wow ouch
haha It's like lowering the rim to play basketball.
This was painful to watch I wish they had just removed the front bumper at least
This is silly this vehicle is not meant for this...
Watch my videos.... You'll see what a daily driven subaru can do offroad!
Why tear up a nice car. Did you buy a jeep to race in a formula 1 race.
It takes a village…
Track is for a Jeep not a Subaru 🤦♂️ entertaining video though
Why? Cool cars. It could done in a Cadillac if enough rocks were moved. I like the Outback, is it just because.
Fantasy for Cadillac thats for sure. Gosh I bet the Prius could do this also if enough rocks we’re moved to make it a paved road. Take that Subaru and your magnificent xmode
Very impressive but man this doesn’t look like a fun day lol
Вот это свесы 🤣🤣🤣👍На нем только по городу ездить
Are you a group of construction workers? Is this a proper off-roading? I do not understand why you guys doing this.
It is like that an skinny elementary kid is doing rock climbing with couple of ropes around his shoulder.
Hahaha
This car need a lift
They realy need locker at least in the back .
Better title may be “How to really FUCK up an Outback Wilderness”
