They went really well, especially considering they are AWD. They do a great job even as standard. Are you considering my advice on the radiator and bypass switch? I think toy would really benefit from them. Thanks
Hi Monty, I fitted an after market temp gauge to my SH. I've noticed that it regularly runs hot when stationary. The thermofans don't kick in until around 95 degree. I was thinking about installing a thermostat bypass switch, so that I can run the fans constantly when there is none to little air flow. I don't work my foz as hard as you, because it is usually on double Island Point and Fraser Island. Only when it's high tide, your going with wind, the beach is really chopped up, and just for good measure, your following ol mate towing a camper, and he is going super slow, so you have no choice but to be in 1st gear. I'm sure you know this scenario 😂 this is when I would use the bypass. Great videos mate, and a really tuff little foz. They are an awesome little weapon. It's true, everyone that owns one loves it. 😀
Interesting, some how mine stays impressively cool almost never reaching half! But that does sounds like a good idea for the trails when we are moving slow, I might have to think about that! Thanks, people on the trail are always surprised on how far these Subies can go haha
Hi Chase, I would suggest for both cars, especially the outback with its CVT, a bigger oil cooler with and after maket thermofan, and thermostat bypass switch. A bigger radiator with same bypass switch fitted too. This would certainly extend the life of the CVT. 40000kms, is the recommended service interval for a CVT, but I 16:25 would certainly recommend much more regular servicing as they are a bit fragile, and expensive for repairs, especially over here in Australia. Another point is, this would make great future videos to add to your collection. I for one would love to see the step by step installation. Great video mate. Keep em coming. Best wishes to all you guys over thete in beautiful Canada 🇨🇦 from Brisbane Queensland Australia 🇦🇺 ❤️
Oh yeah those CVT get warm, especially when doing this haha, Ernesto actually sold the car to build something else so it looks like I won't get to make a video on installing one on that but I have plans for my car! They might involve an XT hood and big cooler!
What you loose in technology, you can (a bit) make up with tactics. Sure, that ob has a much better anti-spin, and also uses it's brakes to redeliver power to the tires in need. Doing it the old school way is plausable tho, and semi-lock you diffs. Using both brake and throttle, will push more power to the wheel with grip. Its not like a locking diff, but it actually works in a pinch (like when you're one wheel of the ground)
Oh yeah, for sure! I have drove this trail again recently (video soon) and found no issues on what I had before. Its all about your line and how to drive it!
@@Chase_Schrader This was exactly what I was looking for. I want to buy a new Forester but when I saw Subaru claim their CVT's don't overhear I was like "Bullsh*t! Every CVT overheats." Here's the proof.
Hey, Chase, cool vid AND challenge! So, the Outback XT having the turbo-charged engine, does your Forester have the stock 2.5L 4-cylinder Boxer engine? If so, I think that it managed some very challenging climbs despite it not having more horsepower/torque. Well done! 👍
Hey, having had one of the best 4wd around, 105 series land cruiser, on these climbs a turbo is irrelevant. Nice and steady crawl gets over, not a turbo in this scenario. Now that I have the 2022 Outback Sport (Aust, 2.5 Ltr no turbo) walks up this if you have the right tyres and tyre pressure. Oh, and you have to pick your lines!
If you want to show me that go ahead. With the AWD systems and no low range on these Subarus, more power helps 100%. If you check out my 2L Crosstrek video you will see that with 100hp less the car fails to climb rocks like the XT. And well yes your lines are super important it doesn't always mean that you are going to just crawl up stuff as a bigger vehicle would.
Only if you are pushing it to the limits, on normal trail runs it will stay cool! If you wanted to do this regularly you could install a bigger CVT cooler. I'm not sure a honda passport would be able to do this trail haha
How did you think the two Subarus did? Let me know below!
They went really well, especially considering they are AWD. They do a great job even as standard. Are you considering my advice on the radiator and bypass switch? I think toy would really benefit from them. Thanks
Right, they did great! It is great advice and I have plans to do something like that in a future!

Awesome brother I can't wait to do something similar with my 2014 2.5i Forester
Thanks! That’s great, feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Very impressive for those two cars
True that but this isn't even the limit haha
Nice! Love it, Chase. Hope you are doing well.
Thank you! You too!
We have both an Outback and a Forester.
My Forester is easier to get into and out of tight areas.
My wife prefers her Outback, but I love my Forester.
Nice, sounds like you got the best of both worlds!
Subaru claims their CVT's don't overheat.
Ahaha the light on the dashboard tells us differently! Maybe in normal conditions they don't but out here they definitely do
@@Chase_Schrader This was exactly what I was looking for. I want to buy a new Forester but when I saw Subaru claim their CVT's don't overhear I was like "Bullsh*t! Every CVT overheats." Here's the proof.
Yup, I'm sure they claim 'under normal conditions' haha
Awesome run.
Thank you! It was a lot of fun!
I have a forester like this one and a forester 2010 and i really like it and prefer it over the outback
Sweet! Do you like the 2010 or the this style better?
For off road i prefer this style for sure@@Chase_Schrader
Nice, me too! I have known a couple people with SHs and they always seem to return to the SGs
Selling my Ioniq5 for OBW. Great video.
Awesome, thanks! Have fun!
…strange move / choice…

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it! My Forester has a completely stock driveline, I find that it being naturally aspirated let's it put down pretty well!

always have a winch as a backup
A winch is definitely a good thing to have, especially if you are going alone.
Does that happens frequently with the cvt? i never pushed my outback like this before but tempted to sometimes....was considering a Honda passport 🤔
Only if you are pushing it to the limits, on normal trail runs it will stay cool! If you wanted to do this regularly you could install a bigger CVT cooler. I'm not sure a honda passport would be able to do this trail haha
Hey cool video! Is the OBW stock? I have an OBW with minor offroad items that I want to put to the test.
Thanks, it has a 2in lift with some bigger all-terrains. Sweet, have fun!
@@Chase_Schrader thanks! i was wondering if it had better AT tires.
No worries, they aren’t even the most aggressive AT tires but they definitely help!
Where’d you get your front bumper for your forester!?
It is custom bumper from my offroad company Flat 4 Offroad! We currently are not selling them, but might be putting a weld together kit together soon!
what size lift and tires are on the forester?
Specs are 15x7 with 225/75R15, it took a bit of work to get them to fit, check it out here: ruclips.net/video/-KWGYW9gepE/видео.html
Так,что в итоге как думаешь старая школа Subaru точно не хуже новых Subaru? И какой у тебя автомат стоит TZ или TV?
Yes, I would say the older Subarus are are just as if not more capable then the newer ones! The SG Forester is mine
@@Chase_Schrader Я знаю что SG твой😊 Я спрашивал какой гидротрансформатор стоит на твоей машине TV или TZ?
Oh that didn't translate well haha, I believe it is a TZ since it has the external spin on filter
@@Chase_Schrader я тебя понял бро😂 На MTB не спускается по горам? В Канаде Ванкувер целая культура! Всего тебе хорошего SubaBro))
Haha I don’t really understand it, but yeah I mountain bike here, haven’t hit Whistler yet
The outback’s tailpipes we’re moving a lot am pretty sure that’s bad
Why’s that? They are on rubber hangers to allow them to flex, I see no reason why it would be bad.
what lmfao
And just like that
skilless drivers
How do you figure that? How could we improve?
@@Chase_Schrader too slow. you gotta full send over those rocks and let the rocks give you a free cat delete and oil drain
ahaha don't worry my exhaust has plenty of leaks from using it a rock slider and my skid plate won't fit unless I hammer it back on
