Tires and their width even with the same tread pattern makes a lot of difference. I grew up driving on roads like this. By the time In graduated from high school, I had driven 130,000 miles. (170 miles round trip to school every day). We drove from Piñon NM area to Artesia NM. I found really tall skinny mud tires were perfect for mud and snow until it became very deep. I eventually switched to 38x13.5x18 aggressive mud tires. These were great except for wet or icy roads

I actually just got a super cheap $20 tent from Amazon. I'll carry the tent because it could be useful, but I really got it because the folding tent poles will be great for checking depths. If you don't lock the last section into place, it will dangle downward and you can use the rest of the pole to reach out and check the depth of the middle of wide mud puddles. It would be useful for the larger vehicles with two sections dangling downward. Then it collapses pretty small to ride on the passenger's rubber floormat.

Thanks! I got those LED lights from Amazon. amzn.to/3FN5esa I connected all 6 lights together in parallel. The negative is grounded to the frame. I connected a fuse tap to the positive wire and inserted it in the auxiliary slot in the fuse box. When the car is on, the lights are on. Mounting was pretty easy thanks to the rubber grommets that come with the lights. I just had to drill 1/2" holes for the lights then do some simple wiring.

I have a question for Subaru owners… We live in north central WA state up in the mountains. I’m too dang old to go hunting anymore, but I Love to go fishing. A few places I go for fishing are up roads that I can only get to by using my older Ranger XLT super cab 4X4, with a limited slip rear differential. My question is this ; Should I install a rear locker for my Forester Touring?
@MatthewHeiskell
Жыл бұрын
I don't think so because x-mode works reallllly well. Do you still have the stock tires? You can fit a much taller and wider 245/65R17 or a 245/55R18 tire in there for more ground clearance and traction. Add some skids and maybe a lift and remember to activate x-mode and you can go really far.

@@MatthewHeiskell I switched the tires to Falken Wildpeaks. I plan on lifting it 1-2 inches and adding skid plates to the front, transmission and rear differential, but I’m having trouble finding a reputable company to purchase from. I also plan on installing an additional engine and transmission coolers. I’ve added a K&N intake and a Borla exhaust from the head to the tailpipe for increased hp, torque and mpg. During the winter months we have to put our Outback, Forester into X mode and our older (2011) Ranger 4X4 into 4WD just to get up our private road and into our garage, as we average 4-5 feet of snow every winter. Since it’s a private road off of a county road,( which is the last road to get plowed), we have to plow and maintain our private road. All in All, who would you recommend for the lift and the skid plates? I appreciate any information and knowledge that you can give me.

Running 37 inch tires compared to the 33 inch tires will only get 2 inches of clearance more. Yes it may have been enough then but when the tires are not designed for that mud and to clear their own treads out better. You're more in a pickle because of that also. The stock tire tread design is trying to be too many things at once for the average consumer of this truck.

@MatthewHeiskell

Hello Griffin, my Forester is a 5th gen. All 5th gens have a CVT. After adding a transmission cooler, it has been performing very well off road. I’ve never had a Forester with a 4EAT, but I’ve heard that they are solid. The first CVTs that Subaru used were not very good, that gave the CVT a bad reputation. The current/newer CVTs hold up well when a transmission cooler is added. The new wilderness Forester now comes with a transmission cooler for this exact reason. Many people praise manual transmissions too.
