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.
















Here is a small vid of it going through sand.

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

 

lift kit?
thats a car not an offroad machine

 

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.

 

damn thing looks like an SUV after it has a lift

 

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.

 

72" RC boat? Damn thats big. i just might have to check that spot out this weekend.

 

subaru's ARE offroad machines...impreza rally car?? yeah

foresters are considered SUV's, btw

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

 

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

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

 

I think my buick is farther off the ground than that thing :P
