That . is . dope! First-time visitor, liked (a lot) and subscribed! Just bought a new 2022 Forester Premium a few weeks ago and am absolutely loving it! I'm helping my adult children with their college and graduate school loans, so sadly my Forester will remain stock for quite some time, but I can watch your videos and dream, right?! Thanks for a cool channel and I look forward to viewing your videos! 🤜🤛
Thank you! Sadly it was totaled last week. Just got a 19 crosstrek that I will continue the channel with! Hopefully I’ll still have your interest and support! 🤙🏼
First time viewer. Awesome summary!! Did you do the mods yourself like lift and sway delete? Wondering if this is something the average owner can do. Thanks!!
Love the video! Just got an SJ XT myself and also ordered the STI grille. Just wondering what you did for the black/white emblems? I have seen a couple forums saying that the original emblems did not fit in the STI grille. Were you able to reuse the original ones after some color modification? Or did you order new ones, and if so, where from? Thanks!
Well now that the forester is totaled and I’m starting over with a crosstrek, I personally have been looking at Reika Wheels. Very clean and nice set ups. But check out KMC wheels (alpine and bully) LP Aventure wheels are good, motegi wheels are affordable and good looking as well. But I personally with probably go with KMC alpines or Reika Seekers and this time around with the X-trek
@@WEEKENDWNDR3RS Well, I just went with the Reika Detours in grey. If you see me riding around town tell me what you think. Just need a lift and to fix my grill now.
I don’t I don’t have the forester anymore it got totaled in a wreck I’m sorry. But basically I trimmed away parts of the splash guard with a dremmel and ran a heat gun over the splash guard and molded it out to stop the slight rubbing that was happening. Nothing crazy but I don’t have any video or pics on it I’m sorry
@@WEEKENDWNDR3RS also, did you have any issues with the alignment of the rear wheels since the kit doesn’t come with any rear multi link spacers, any rubbing for your rear (235s) tires at all?
@@thechicanoreview6662 thanks man! She was a blast and I miss her but I’ve taken to the new crosstrek fairly well. Still not the same but still a lot of fun 🤙🏼
@@WEEKENDWNDR3RS Was there any specific video from him that really helped you out? I have a 18 forester with just plain Jane halogen bulbs I’m looking to dress it up also for off roadish use.
Love what you’ve done with your Forester mate. I was thinking of lifting mine too - is the lift spacer kit all you need to buy/fit to achieve this? Or do you also need new shocks/springs etc? Cheers
I’m debating between a used XT bs a new wilderness…I think you just convinced me to go for a used XT!

Hi how were you able to mount your Plano case to the basket?

How did you mount the awning to the roof basket?
Hey! What did you use to mount your Awning? Onto the haul master basket??
Had a blowout yesterday and lost a wheel and tire. Any suggestions on wheel brands for stock ride height. Probably going 17s.

@@davidstisher3495 nice! So what are you riding in and I’ll keep an eye out?
@@WEEKENDWNDR3RS16' White Forester XT. Has a cheap bull bar and Hella lights on front.
@@davidstisher3495 I’ll be on the lookout 🤙🏼
You mentioned trimming on wheel well to fit tires. Do you have any info on this?

@@WEEKENDWNDR3RSoh😢 sad to hear the Forester isn't with you anymore. It sure looked like a perfect Weekend Wandering Warrior❤
Is the rough country spacer lift a 2” and 1” rear to level it out? Or just 2” all around?
2 in the front 1.5 in the rear to level it
@@WEEKENDWNDR3RS thanks for the reply! I found your channel just weeks before your fozzy was totaled but still admire your build brotha!
@@WEEKENDWNDR3RS also, did you have any issues with the alignment of the rear wheels since the kit doesn’t come with any rear multi link spacers, any rubbing for your rear (235s) tires at all?

EPIC!
Thanks! ✌🏼
Is there a tutorial on your head light mod? I’d be really interested in seeing that.
No man I don’t I’m sorry. I did it before I had a channel. But I used videos at “the retrofit source” to do it

@@Conflict7701 yea I’m headed in to work but when I get a break today I’ll post some links here!

Do you have a link to the halos you used? Also, did you paint the shrouds to match the housing?
I’ll have to look back but yes I disassembled my headlights and rebuilt them and painted them. Installed HID’s and halos
Love what you’ve done with your Forester mate.
