i love this expedition forester forever
love the depth guage on the side, inspiring driving, my 2004 is cringing on the street just listening to this video.
Haha that poor Foz never has a relaxed drive while out on the tracks! You must have lost count by now of how many CVs you've been through 🤣 always a good watch though 👍🏻
Yeah... It does get the occasional nice drive but they are less interesting so dont get filmed. There is good reason the wife does not see the replacement CV bill...
@@SubaruOffRoadI saw your car today our car were behind you
@@adifferentview280Nice! 👋
Great trip! I would love to see you do a quick step through CV replacement of how you do it out bush. Cheers!
Great video and nice driving. I know where that is, never been game to try it hahaha.
Cheers. It's pretty sketchy for sure!
Ahhh just another weekend drive to a nice scenic view.
Did the Wifey find out about this trip yet or are you still in the Dog House?
You do what Most of us Subie owners would even dream about trying to do. Thank You, You Crazy Madman You.
Awesome Climbs dude! I froth over tracks like this nowadays!
Epic as always 👍
14:30 holy crap!
Haha yeah. I think the laugh afterwards says it all. So much for taking it easy...
I’d love to check this trail out it looks really good but just wondering is there just a more chill gravel road to the top just to have a look at the view
You can take a 2wd to the top of Mount Dale which is where this ends up. Google knows where Mt Dale is.
What brand snorkel are you running? I assume it's meant for another 4x4 vehicle. Thanks in advance!
eBay brand 😂 its for a Pajero but I wouldn't recommend as it doesn't fit at all well and was a right pain to make it suit the car this well.
@@SubaruOffRoad Nice! I was looking at a late model Pajero which almost fits the curves of my Crosstrek. But I'm hesitant to get it. It's also from there in Australia.
@@octurbojoe best bet is finding someone who has done it on your model and copy. When fitting this snorkel I had to heat the plastic to near liquid where it touches the panel and the use the panel to form it to shape. Took ages.
@@SubaruOffRoad Will do. I have heard about that method. Thanks for your replies. Cheers!
14:40 When in doubt, rev it out.
Along with spare axels, you might need to carry a starter motor and a clutch.....also if ya wanna live to a ripe old age have a look for that seat belt......Darwin Award material here.
Look I'm hard on my gear but in 10 years of hard off roading I have never not made it home safely. No idea why this makes you think it would cause a starter motor failure, it's hardly much usage compared with the expected life of a starter. Yes it's hard on the clutch but again never had one fail. As for seat belts, I actually wear mine almost always when offroad. However, if you have ever had a car on a serious incline then you would know the angle on the inertia mechanism prevents it extending, so if you jump out to check something and let it retract by mistake, then there is no way to get it back on until the car is on more level ground again. So unless your running a 3 point harness or your car is so old it has fixed length belts you will often have this happen...
That little suby looks Shitty but it sure is an off-road weapon. No offence. Great video.
Are you able to supply a pin point of the bottom to the point you started at I’ve grown up out there and never seen that track would be a foot track to go up this coming long weekend.
@@SubaruOffRoad cheers mate your a legend
@@SubaruOffRoad not the best idea giving people pin drops, the quicker good tracks
like these get shut down and ruined for everyone, do the right thing and get rid of that pin for everyone else to keep it open
I believe it's a R180 rear diff, what axles are they r180 STI ? Or hybrid axles
R180 inner cvs, R160 outers. I break both inner and outer CVs but the intermediate shaft is the most common failure point.
and can be reinforced with some custom welding around??
@@Tavo-TECH no easy option unfortunately. You are really limited to running cvs from other manufacturers in a full custom setup.
There is a limit to a Subaru.
These are not kind of tires you use for off roading
They are BFG all terrains so a reasonable offroad tyre. Only 27 inch though.
thing need a better low gear and she would of crawled all the way up
Yeah, can only dream of better gearing at this point in time. It would be so nice but there isn't any options unless you deviate a very very long way from a Subaru driveline.
@@SubaruOffRoad Check out All Drive Subaru if you haven't already. They have all shorts of low range gear sets if i remember right
@@crazymicah123 it's already running better low range than ADS currently offer. It's just not low enough still. It's currently 1.59:1 low range and 4.44 diffs.
@@SubaruOffRoad Nice i didnt realize you had that much done to it figured it was a factory dual range. I think ADS does a 1.6 but its not worth the money. But yeah thats tapped out for a subaru. I always thought it would be cool to build a custom knuckle and use Humvee portal axles.
@@crazymicah123 for as long as I have been driving Subaru's, all drive have had the 1.6:1 kit on their website but it has never actually been manufactured as far as I am aware. There is some crazy Russian forester with portal hubs, they were for sale for a while.
