    How To Off-Road In A Subaru: Tips From A Veteran Subaru Owner

    In this episode, I’m joined by John from Subaru Off-Road Adventures, and this one is full of good real-world Subaru experience. We get into why John stopped wheeling his newer Forester and built an SG Forester strictly for off-road use, what mods actually made a difference, and where Subarus realistically start to show their limits. We talk lift kits, CV axles, center diffs, rear lockers, and why more lift isn’t always better. John also shares some solid tire experience with Wildpeak AT Trails, Maxxis ATs, and why tire choice matters more than people think. We cover: Why SG Foresters are still one of the best Subaru platforms to build CVT limitations vs older drivetrains Benefits of rear lockers and VTD center diffs Tire size, width, and PSI Trail breakage stories and on-the-spot repairs DIY fabrication, bumpers, swing-out tire carriers, and learning to weld out of necessity Why Subarus make incredible overland and camping rigs, even if they’re not rock crawlersBig thanks to the brands that help support the podcast:Anderson Design & Fabrication (ADF)Lift kits, skid plates, and other Subaru off-road accessories that I useUse code DIRTSUBIES for 5% off your order MeLe Design FirmPerformance battery mounts and power solutions built for off-road abuse.

    He Built A Lifted Subaru Forester XT To Handle The AZ Heat

    In this episode, I caught up with my friend Eric, better known as @Bearded_Pixel to talk about his off-road 2017 Forester XT and how it ended up becoming one of the more dialed-in turbo Subarus in Arizona (my opinion.) What started as a stock daily slowly turned into a trail-ready setup with an ADF 2-inch lift, Primitive Racing skid plates, Full Force Metal Works rock sliders, Sparco wheels, Geolandar MTs, and a bunch of other cool parts & accessories. Here are just a few of the mods Eric has on his car: • ADF 2-inch lift• Primitive Racing skid plates• Full Force Metalworks rock sliders• Sparco wheels + Geolandar MT tires• SSD light bar + hood-mounted pods + 32-inch roof light• Transmission cooler• CVT anti-wobble insert• Ultimate9  throttle controller• ScanGauge 2• RokBlokz mud flaps If you’re looking to build your Subaru, a quick shoutout to a couple companies that support what we’re doing here.

    Subie Stories With The Guy Who Built The Subaru Community's First Real Podcast

    Special thanks to our listeners from our awesome sponsors: Use code DIRTSUBIES and checkout for 5% off your order with ADF (awdadventure.com) and 10% off at meledesignfirm.com Today I sit down with my buddy Raf, and honestly this is one of the most real conversations I’ve had on this show. It was great. We talk about the day he got laid off, how it happened, how it felt, and what goes through your head when the rug gets pulled out from under you. Raf opens up about dealing with burnout, and trying to find something that actually fits his life instead of drains it. And because we’re both Subaru nerds, we go from life-stuff straight into how he blew up his center diff, why his Crosstrek was clanking like a shopping cart, and the path that got him deep into the Subaru community in the first place.

    Offroading Through Colorado In A Subaru Outback

    In this episode I sit down with Benjamin aka @BMC_Adventures and we get into everything from first-cars-turned-trail-rigs, to living and wheeling in Colorado, to why the Subaru community is honestly one of the coolest groups of people you can meet. Benjamin breaks down his full setup: tires, lift kit, suspension, the whole journey from stock 2010 Outback to a legit trail-ready build. We talk about camping spots, high-altitude mountain passes, transmission temps, and what it’s actually like running a lifted Subaru in real Colorado terrain. If you’re into Subarus, offroad builds, real-world upgrades, or you just enjoy hearing how people got into this hobby, this is a solid one. Super laid back conversation with a good dude. Thanks for listening and if you’re in Colorado, check out his Facebook group San Juan Subies and go show him some love.

    He Took a Subaru Where?! Cody's Most Ridiculous Off-Road Stories and Disasters Ep. 15

    Cody’s the type of person who says “If you hit it, I’ll follow” and then actually sends it into the sketchiest trails. In this episode, we get into his transition from a modded WRX to a Crosstrek and eventually the Outback Wilderness… plus all the off-road craziness that came with it. From blowing through sidewalls, taking summer tires into a snowstorm, overheating power steering on a cliffed out road, and sending it on Naches like he was driving a Jeep, Cody shares the real, unfiltered stories of taking an Outback Wilderness to places only 4x4's usually go. If you’re into lifted Subarus, off-road trail stories, overlanding, or you just love hearing how things went horribly wrong (and somehow still worked out), this one’s for you.
