    Subarus are literally made for offroad from facorry yet none of them were marketed or kitted for it as such from factory which i never understood. They've got a great fulltime awd system, complete with the boxer engine which keep the centre of gravity low, even in their more top heavy cars like foresters and outbacks, so they are less prone to tipping. Never understood why they werent popular to mod among 4x4 guys

    Foresters on a lift with the right tires are very capable off-road, you don't need to spend big money to get something that can handle itself in rough terrain, you just need big money to spend on the head gasket when it fails

    It really does pay for the old saying, slow and steady wins the race. To many people these days go for a Hilux or Ranger but our forebears didn't have that luxury and they did inland Australia and coastal beaches in 2wd cars. They too would have taken it slow and in most cases succeeded. I suppose the only reason that Ford Australia didn't advertise these car's off roading capability is because too many morons would do paddock bashing wrecking the cars and then claiming it on the warranty. But even dirt roads in our interior can be safely driven in 2wd cars for you don't need a 4x4 for a dirt road. Had friends with a farm 10km from a sealed road and they drove their bog standard NC Ford Fairlane in all weathers on the dirt roads and never got stuck.

    The thing that you are not considering is how much you are tearing up tracks doing it this way. The fact that you can get a vehicle somewhere doesn’t make it a good thing to do. Tracks are being closed all over the place.

    • @underdogoffroad9847
      @underdogoffroad9847 Год назад

      I was spinning wheels, but the small road tyres physically can't dig a hole deep enough to bother a stock 4wd. The Pajero on aggressive tyres did far more damage on the day. And that is still nothing compared to what people on 35" muddies do. Locker and anti tramp rods also keep the ruts very smooth, unlike open diff vehicles that did the diagonal holes. Fair less track damage was done in the days of Kingswood and Falcons compared to today's big rigs
