Well. The other day the girlfriend and I decided to take our Forester L to some off road trails by the beach to see exactly what it can do.

Here are some pics witn a short Vid on the bottom.

I want to make/get a 50mm lift kit and make a skid plate for this thing.

Its far from a car. And yes. Lift kit. Go on some of the Forester forums, there is a ---- load of them with lift kits. Now when I say lift kit I don't mean this:

I mean something like this:

Thats a 50mm strut lift kit made by scorpion. Pretty much a spacer that goes in between the strut and the body.

Oh and for the record, Subaru's make one hell of an off road/trail car. Obviously I'm not going to rock climb in it but it definitely will stand up to some sand dunes.

Was those pics taken in Port Stanley by the Little Beach? I want to take the Nitro out and see what its got but i don't know any good trails around St. Thomas.

Yes it was Port Stanley. I guess the big oil drums gave it away? Definitely a cool place to hang out for the day. Off roading, Fishing off the rocks, walking around. You can bring your seadoo or in my case the 72" Gas R/C boat I'm building.

that'd be ------ saweet. its nice to see people take their subaru's offroad. i mean, they are meant to get the piss beat outta them. on the other hand, if i bought an STI, i would be keeping that thing fairly shiny ;D

After I'm done School I plan to buy a newer Forester XT, AWD Turbo baby! :6

And then I'll upgrade the turbo and get the WRX Sti Reflash.
