  • The Forester is back and better than ever! The Forester has gone through quite a bit of work over the past couple of years and now it's back on the trails. New suspension, lower milage engine, SubaXtreme front bumper and skid plate, Method VT502 Rally Wheels and new General Grabber AT2 tires.
    Oh, and not to mention a 1.447:1 Subaru dual-range transmission. Yes, it now has low-range.
    This video is the first major off road outing since the car has been rebuilt, and we went on a familiar trail, Lower Engineer Pass in Colorado.
    Modifications:
    - 2" SUMO Parts Lift Kit
    - SubaXtreme Front Bumper
    - SubaXtreme Skid Plate
    - 15" Method VT502 Rally Wheels
    - 225/70 R15 General Grabber AT2 Tires
    - Rola Vortex Roof Basket

    This is the most off road capable forester I've ever seen... a forester done right.

      The person behind the wheel is the most important "tool" :) The driver is very experienced, not a single pedal push more than the needed and the engine is purring smoothly like a kitty lol.

    That Forester is awesome. I love it, awesome mods. I am driving a 2003 Forster. Bought my Forester back in 2005, now I am still driving it for 14 years. I have nothing but love for my 2003 Forester.

    Having a gearbox with low range is such an improvement, isn't it. It is nice being able to dribble along with tractive force in reserve. Unfortunately my old Foz had serious rust and other problems, and just got sold to optimist who will ignore/fix these. Ah well.

  • @jacobhomstead9036
    @jacobhomstead9036 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Woah woah woah... where does this subi dual range trans come from??? I just swapped forester struts in to my 08 Impreza and also swapped all my linkage in the rear for fully adjustable as well as energy poly bushings up front. I don’t see many modded Imprezas of this generation but I’m going to try to work some magic on it. But I’ve got to know about this trans. Loving my manual 5speed for now but looking to upgrade to some AT2s roughly 27” but on 16s. I did however see they sell centripetal lockers for my rear diff for a decent price and that’s definitely going to be part of my recipe.

    Hi, I just stumbled onto this video. Phenomenal capacity and range of abilities! I was always wondering what modifications could be done on a subaru that make sense. Did you do anything with the engine cause it sounds different or is it just a muffler? Seems like a suspension substituted well for the lack of HP if there was any. I love it.

    • @ModFoz
      @ModFoz  5 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Gigi Aea Car is stock with the exception of a muffler delete, 2-inch lift but stock suspension. Engine is stock. Front bumper is obviously aftermarket. The transmission is a stock Subaru 5-speed dual-range transmission from Australia. All my videos prior to this one was with the stock transmission.
