Wow I'm that far behind! I didn't even realize veterans day had past. Working graveyard messes up your perception of time. Anyway from a former Army to you and all other branches, thank you for your service, especially my son serving in the US Army now.
Working on and with Gump, we can see how much you are enjoying bolt on parts made for the vehicle, your eyes are smiling. Can't wait to see what else you have sitting in those boxes for Forrest.
Life is like a box of Subaru parts. You never know what Sarah got. And those pipes are on fire 🔥 Gump has always been one of my favorites because it is more of the sleeper build. And thank you for your service.
I have to say Sarah you do some of the cleanest builds. I don't even like Foresters but I like your Forester. Looking forward to seeing what else you do and definitely more Celica videos.
It’s a Sarah thing, thou shall not install clean parts on a dirty car regardless where that part goes. Come on people, this is Sarah. No compromise, no quarter given to dirt! You go Sarah. Do that Gump STI thing!
The rears have the same adjustments as the fronts. You adjust them all to 3mm as you show at 9:41 on the instruction sheet. I've done the same when I got my set of front and rear draw stiffeners back in February 2022 for my 2018 Forester XT Touring.
Sarah, you’re crazy! I admire you doing this by yourself! Just be cautious about safety. Subaru engineers test those million times and adjust sensitive way. ~ from Japan.
Happy Veterans Day to my favorite Air Force Vet / Car Gal! Nice to see Gump getting some love, and those are definitely some great upgrades. I don't think I've ever seen a Forester without roof rails, but I can understand why you're removing them. After all, you've got the Bronco for any roof hauling needs. Enjoy your weekend and I'm looking forward to continued upgrades on Gump, the Celica and whatever else is in the pipeline!
Sarah and ALL the veterans watching. Thank you for your service to our country 🇺🇸. Great video Sarah 👍 Can’t wait to see what’s in the other, “Genuine Subaru Parts Boxes From Japan 🇯🇵” and of course, watch you install and smile…😊
After seeing your Forester review hundreds of time I got mine 2017 XT, It has all the STI catalog form dealer with the exception of the stiffners and the flexible sub frame, I did the Brembos too. thank for all the FXT videos
Happy Veterans Day!!! Now, you mentioned hoop earrings…I don’t think I’ve seen you wear earrings. What an educated gamble on exhaust..and what a payoff ❤. So glad you did a Gump session. Love Gump, bet the views go through the roof. Classy mods love this. No dry ice 😮😊
While all your videos are great, these “Christmas morning” productions are next-level awesome because of your enthusiasm. Great to see Gump again. Thank you, Sarah. 👍👍👍
Happy Veterans Day, Sarah! What a fun video! I would love to see a full on car review of Gump once you have all the new parts installed. The "sound test" was such a tease! Great content fill-in while waiting on parts for the Celica.
I love it when you get factory approved upgraded parts for a vehicle. 👏🏻 I think we both know you’ll be dry icing that thing after you do all the part upgrades. 😉👍🏻 So many parts. 👏🏻
I always always come back to Sarah when I see Gump. I could never live without my roof rails, but then I remember that Gump isn’t a daily driver. So no roof top tent and there’s other alternatives to getting that Christmas tree back from the tree farm. Can’t wait to see the finished product. It’s been a long journey watching Sarah and Gump come up together.
Looks like top-notch long-lasting stainless-steel. Beautiful piping and mufflers with eye-catching chrome tips. The center-console upgrade is extra nice also.
Was so hyped to see you got the same sliding armrest I got for my SJ a couple years back. Absolute game changer, especially for road trips when you’re just cruising. Fun fact about it as well; it’s perfectly lined up to the same height as the door panel padding so your elbows are at the same level!
Sarah nice to see the wood wagon back in the spotlight! It certainly will be a one of a kind when the current round of upgrades is complete. I wonder how long it's going to take before you succumb to the manual gearbox swap temptation 😊
15:15 meowth that's right. Got a few momo steering wheels and spoon shift knobs to give my eyes some visual control pieces that are both viewed and handled everytime I'm in there.
Your Awesome. All other RUclipsr's ignore all the details, they don't do repairs for long term, just what they need to to flip it. Even though some of your content is out of the scope of what I prefer, it's enjoyable because I suck at noticing details and refining the overall look, so I'm learning , so it does turn out to be in the scope of the content I prefer. In other words, I'm into old muscle cars but can incorporate your ideas, and you make it enjoyable to watch...
I love how Subaru has evolved their line of vehicles. Although I would love to buy a new one, they certainly are out of reach, pricewise, and quite honestly I just enjoy, turning the knobs for temperature, etc. But I will say interior wise. It really does look like one luxurious ride, especially for an off-roader!
Happy Veterans Day or as we say in Canada, Happy Remembrance Day to all. Much respect to all that have served, currently serve, and will serve in the future!!!
Ok. That, is a beautiful exhaust substitution. Some of your add ons sometimes seem superfluous, but that looks like solid quality replacing not too hot aftermarket stuff. Excellent.
Another great video. That exhaust system fit and finish was beautiful! Also, I was waiting for....If I clean the door sill I gotta clean the headliner lol
Thank you for your service. Thank you for your approach to each vehicle with respect to its history and manufacturing. Thank you for not LS swapping anything...I literally cannot watch another LS vehicle build. Thank you for being real and funny at the same time.
Outback, Ascent owner here since 1998. That is a swee-ee-et looking Forrester. Nice work. Thanks for the videos. And thank you for your service! Semper Fi!
I'm playing catch up, That's a major improvement to the sound. And I fully agree, I spend my time in the car not outside staring at it. I only do that when the thingy doodle doesn't fit the watzit for some unknown reason. Love the interior upgrades. Those armrests were like pleather covered milk crates. Can't wait to see what else you're installing. Still really like the exhaust. And you're right, if you don't like the tip there's no way that pipe is going in. The car, yeah, oh look a baby wolf! Bye!
My wife and I thoroughly enjoy your funny and informative videos. We find this build very intriguing indeed. I can relate as I am on my 8th year of a frame-off restomod on a 1979 International Scout II. Not sure what your plans are with this build, and if you every entertain the idea of selling it, were are just "up the street" in Phoenix. We would be interested. We have never been enthused by "over the counter, vanilla, everybody has one, write a check and drive off the lot" vehicles. Our 2003 e39 BMW 540i M-Sport needs some major work and will be out of commission for some time are we are looking for something to fill the the gap and supplement our unique inventory. Keep the videos coming!
"I'm not crazy" Oh Sarah, you ARE so crazy. But in the very best, most endearing ways. So sad that The Gump hasn't been started in a year. By far my favorite of all of your builds.
I want to do this with my Forester (2011 SH, named Frosty, also white), but he's got the FB25 engine in the bay. I'm almost certain STi and/or FB20 parts will probably be involved, because 170 horses isn't enough, and I live in Utah. Obviously the XT is the Forester to have, but people like them a LOT out here, so they're out of my budget. New viewer, but reading the comments, apparently you served, so thank you for that service!
Happy Veterans Day Sarah! Thank you for your service and all your videos!
Thanks
Happy Veterans Day Sarah!!

Bad jokes or not, I enjoy the level of dedication you have for your vehicles.
What bad jokes?
HKS kits are not jokes!. They are premium performance parts from the foot hills of Mount Fiji....try getting anything HKS....
The typical double entendre is pure FIRE!
Thanks for the inspiration! I have a 2014 XT and never thought there were so many upgrades. Great job!
From one Veteran to another thank you for your service. Happy Veterans Day Sarah.

Never get tired of watching your expertise. New part with no instructions? No problem!
I would do unforgivable things to have a Forester like this. Subaru, take notes!
The feeling you get when only you know the quality of your unseen upgrade parts. Nice job. The early morning upload was a nice surprise.
Love the Beavis background comment during the gasket/ear ring statement!!
Thank you, Sarah Doodle! Everything in Sarah's world is a doodle of some kind... 😄
I have to say Sarah you do some of the cleanest builds. I don't even like Foresters but I like your Forester. Looking forward to seeing what else you do and definitely more Celica videos.

Happy Veterans Day! I think dry icing the Forrester would be cool!
There's something satisfying about JDM parts upgrade videos...
From another veteran to another, may you have many more Veteran Days ❤
That's the best Forester I've ever seen in my life the paint is impeccable, the customization is meticulous and the maintenance is amazing.
better than mine? :(
Sarah, you’re crazy! I admire you doing this by yourself! Just be cautious about safety. Subaru engineers test those million times and adjust sensitive way. ~ from Japan.

Mr Subaru would be happy with all those genuine parts. 😂
Happy Veterans day, this looked like fun. We all appreciate installing new fun parts
Oh it's so nice to see new fresh SJ XT content on the tube. I feel like nobody mods these things anymore :(
What’s not to like about digging into boxes of genuine Subaru & STI parts for the Gump! 🥰
Sarah and ALL the veterans watching. Thank you for your service to our country 🇺🇸.
Great video Sarah 👍
Can’t wait to see what’s in the other, “Genuine Subaru Parts Boxes From Japan 🇯🇵” and of course, watch you install and smile…😊
Hi Sarah,
Have a great Veterna's Day and thanks for your service.
Yay.... It's Gumpster! Come on Subaru, build the Sarah Edition (but with a 6 speed) Forester. You would sell every one...
After seeing your Forester review hundreds of time I got mine 2017 XT, It has all the STI catalog form dealer with the exception of the stiffners and the flexible sub frame, I did the Brembos too. thank for all the FXT videos
The last 4 minutes was the best. "if im gonna clean this then I gotta clean that" Sarah paraphrased on almost every vid. Sarah is my youtube sister.
i love the idea of Subaru making basically interchangeable parts between models, especially being a mod heavy brand.
Happy Veterans Day! Glad to see Gump again! Such a clean ass build! Love it!
"A BRAND NEW FROM JAPAN"
got hks box. I must say, thats wow. Thats a wow parts
Happy Veterans Day!!! Now, you mentioned hoop earrings…I don’t think I’ve seen you wear earrings. What an educated gamble on exhaust..and what a payoff ❤. So glad you did a Gump session. Love Gump, bet the views go through the roof. Classy mods love this. No dry ice 😮😊
Sweetest Forester on the planet. Thank you for your service and protecting our freedoms Sarah.

Happy Veterans Day from SSG. M. Harlan Byrd. Thank you for all of the entertaining content.
Two things:
1. So pumped for more Gump content.
2 I have to buy more parts because you did.
😊Much Much Wow!! 'Difference
I'm glad I'm not the only one that orders. Parts for vehicles and things and doesn't get around to installing them for a year or two.
PLEASE leave these up! I just bought a 15k mile 18XT, looking forward to modifying it!! Thank You Sarah!
It's possibly the most entertaining video of yours I have watched! The parts were unique, and your presentation was informative yet whimsical. 😊
I love that you're a quality nut and that time is never your enemy...at least you never express concern of time.
A bit off topic, but Thank You for your service!
On this Veterans Day, I thank you, and salute !
"Oh I gotta clean under there." The true essence of this channel hahah🤘 love this car
Looks like top-notch long-lasting stainless-steel. Beautiful piping and mufflers with eye-catching chrome tips. The center-console upgrade is extra nice also.

Fun fact about it as well; it’s perfectly lined up to the same height as the door panel padding so your elbows are at the same level!
Still waiting on that 6-speed manual transmission swap. That's the big one everybody is waiting for.
OEM Plus is the perfect build in my opinion. Only those who know, will appreciate it.
Crazy timing! I just installed an Invidia N1 catback on my SJ FXT last weekend :)
Sarah nice to see the wood wagon back in the spotlight! It certainly will be a one of a kind when the current round of upgrades is complete. I wonder how long it's going to take before you succumb to the manual gearbox swap temptation 😊
cute and smart. Just like my ole gal at home. Were in the 70's crowd. age wise. you do great work and have friends to do what you can't
I cannot wait to see you six speed swap this car! This is the way the car should have come in the states!
At 8:15. "Shave and a Haircut": Brilliant!
15:15 meowth that's right. Got a few momo steering wheels and spoon shift knobs to give my eyes some visual control pieces that are both viewed and handled everytime I'm in there.
Cleanliness is close to godly......well even more cleanliness 😘

HKS components are not cheap! Finally another Subie video! I love my 15 Forester XT! keep them coming!

I applaud your steadfastness, Sarah. Eight years speaks volumes. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Wow we all need a buddy like you
Thank you for the Gump video. It was nice to see an old friend again. 🥰
Car stuff is neat and stuff, but I like your sense of humor most of all.
Happy Veteran's Day Sarah. This was awesome. Mr Gump really deserved the love. He's going to drive so nice after all these little improvements.
Hi Sarah, you really should apply copper grease on all those threads. Makes it much easier to take apart in the future.
Happy Veterans Day or as we say in Canada, Happy Remembrance Day to all. Much respect to all that have served, currently serve, and will serve in the future!!!
My wife has a 2020 forester sport in black and red. (I wish it was turbo but …) it’s a eye catching look I’ll give Subaru props for it
The only Gump worth more now than when it was on the dealer's lot. The Sarah Platinum Package
This is amazing!!!! I want a manual XT from this generation. I'll be taking notes.
Ok. That, is a beautiful exhaust substitution.
Some of your add ons sometimes seem superfluous, but that looks like solid quality replacing not too hot aftermarket stuff.
Excellent.
You're setting an excellent example for aspiring clean-freaks all acrost 'Murkah.
Bora Bora, you'll never bore us Sarah.
Considering how much care has gone into the cars ownership dry ice seems appropriate 😁
Another great video. That exhaust system fit and finish was beautiful! Also, I was waiting for....If I clean the door sill I gotta clean the headliner lol
Thank you for your service. Thank you for your approach to each vehicle with respect to its history and manufacturing. Thank you for not LS swapping anything...I literally cannot watch another LS vehicle build. Thank you for being real and funny at the same time.
I like how they included a resonator next to the muffler. It takes the drone noise out. Also works on intake tracts. Love your work 👍🏻👍🏻
Misfit collection of perfection, Sarah, every one of your rides is desirable and amazing!!
The new exhaust pipe system is beautiful! I’m surprised that you didn’t ceramic coat it first before installing it 😅
Yup I did my barrels in Carpro Dlux...
Outback, Ascent owner here since 1998. That is a swee-ee-et looking Forrester. Nice work. Thanks for the videos. And thank you for your service! Semper Fi!
I Love HKS , I have their Hi- Power Exhaust on my Integra GSR and It sounds Incredible ! Great Quality too !
I've seen some sweet Foresters, yours is getting up there... easily the cleanest. 😀
I noticed the midpipe has a Helmholtz (no-drone) resonator. Well done!!!
From one Air Force veteran to another, happy Veterans Day.
Fantastic planning and attention to detail & neat to watch ❤
I've missed Gump. I've forgotten how much I've missed him. Such a perfect upgrade.
So glad you’re back working on Gump! I think you should ditch that unsafe Bronco, Pokey, and just drive Gump from now on 😬
This is my motivation for today, thank you Sarah!

Finally after a year! Been waiting for Forester upgrade. Unfortunately my Forester XT was sold. - Philippines.
"I'm not crazy" Oh Sarah, you ARE so crazy. But in the very best, most endearing ways.
So sad that The Gump hasn't been started in a year. By far my favorite of all of your builds.
Yes, I think it's safe to say we all want you to do a dry ice blasting on the bottom of the Forester
Best Tips Vote is in! Thanks for your Service SARAH
HEY. Your sneaking up on us. I have been wanting to delete the roof rails on my Deutscher Wagen. It will be awhile till I can meet that challenge.
I want to do this with my Forester (2011 SH, named Frosty, also white), but he's got the FB25 engine in the bay. I'm almost certain STi and/or FB20 parts will probably be involved, because 170 horses isn't enough, and I live in Utah.

New viewer, but reading the comments, apparently you served, so thank you for that service!
I just ended up cutting my exhaust outlets on my FXT for a STI dual tip to fit in each cut out. Love the quad exhaust look over the dual.
I’m glad to see you put Ads in. We will support you.
I didn't.. but thanks?
Love seeing Gump again. Would love to see the focus getting some love. But the Celica deserves love!
