Appalachian American find a source of power hell my old bronco I can start with one wire just jumping the starter fuse box maybe has 5 glass fuses which are not required to make it run.
The crosstrek is getting the attention it deserves! It’s my first car and this is my dream build eventually after college. Just a tip, you can fit a mattress in the back of the crosstrek very easily if you put all the seats down. The most I’ve gotten is a twin size in there with 4 pillows
Dude at the shop was the most honest dude ever. "This was easy and anyone could have done it in their yard" is the greatest response after someone has just paid for the work lol.
That car is a beast i love how your still appreciative of what you have by covering the seats a stuff dispite winning all that money its nice to see good on you
I have owned my Subaru Crosstrek for over a year and been debating how to make it more ready for trails and off road. This is one of the better video's that I have seen exhibiting the products. Thanks!
Funny, my number one qualification for this car was the ability to lay down to sleep in it. The salesman looked at me funny as I put down the seats and laid down in the back. Owned the car for 5yrs now, it's a great one man camper. I found it best to take the headrests off and lay down the front and back seats, with two overlapping pieces of plywood from front to back. Get some Mann springs for towing/hauling, really helps with rear end sag.
Awesome Crosstrek !!! Just rolled over 135k on mine and was thinking of putting a lift on it also. I take mine up into western Maine and never worry about the snow or "soft roading" I do out there. Got a hitch on mine for the utility trailer ,,, I like the cargo shelf you got !!!! Cool vehicle Zach !!!
I just bought a 2014 blue 5 speed , and I love it! I had to look far and wide for a manual , but Im traditional like that. Its also the newest car that I have had in a long time. I can't wait to take it out in the woods and see how she does. Also the previous owner put mud tires on it and lifted it also, so its ready for some 4 wheeling.
I bought my very first car back in 2020 January and it was a 2019 Subaru cross trek w/eyesight I have not done any mods yet after one year of owning my car has been through so much off trail driving especially where I live in Texas and I have to say it was the best investment I have made as a first car owner I dream one day to mod the heck out of it just like this video. Amazing work take care of her and she will do you right..
I used to like the fact you could hear the road in a Subaru, you could hear the engine, you could hear the air intake, and the wind. Those noises were the sounds of driving- started off with an 88 Loyale, sounded and behaved like a sports car. And my Outback went EVERYWHERE.
I was so stoked when I first saw you on Alone! Knowing a guy was from Maine on the show made me an instant fan. I've been watching your videos since! Even cooler is I'm from Bath and just spent this weekend camping up at Camden State Park with my wife. It's so rad to have you living so close and I just wish you all the best on your upcoming videos. Can't wait to see what's next! I'll be keeping my eyes peeled on the roads for that beautiful Subaru that's for sure! Have a good one!
Excellent video Zach. It's very apparent how much work you put into this and it totally paid off. Keep up the good work and thank you for all the content you put out.
Just watched the build video. Bought a crosstrek wilderness 2024. Going to get I contact with some of your parts list and see what they have for the 24 crosstrek wilderness. Super nice build. Hope you still have it. Rear locker really help these ❤
You will love it! Wife just got s 2019 sport forester. We put the lp adventure lift, method wheels, and bfg a/ts. I always thought subarus were dorky, but I am a huge fan! Little under powered but that's our only complaint. I dig your house! Has some character
Very nice! I have a 2014 in Venetian red almost the exact same set up. I love my Crosstrek! I added a Borla exhaust as well just to give it a little attitude.
Another Mainer here (also a Subaru owner). Congrats on the car! We just bought a 2011 Impreza last year (I only buy old cars too) and we love it. We also have a 2001 Forester, but the Impreza is REALLY fun. Ive got Sparco wheels on it with some Geolander ATs.
Hey boss, been watching your videos for ages now and I cant thank you enough. Your fortitude is something to admire and strive to emulate. I am looking to get an outback when I get back stateside. I have seen hundreds of reviews but, as life works you trust those you believe in. If you would, your opinion of your Subaru would mean a lot to me. Also, as a man that cant grow facial hair... Never lose the beard bro.
LOL 😆 thanks man. Ya I love the crosstrack but man it be nice to have more space. So if you want a compact that has no power but fin to drive then go with the crosstreck if u want space and we'll more power the outback is much better. Or even the forester. and Subaru as a hole is the best I love the all wheel drive and not geting stuck or sliding on the ice and snow. Just wish they had an affordable big truck I could get for my second car
i love my crosstrek2016 black w/ black DRIFTZ 5 spoke rims . it moved my family from Philadelphia to Scottsdale AZ to Corrales NM with lots of adventures in between...
Thanks LP Adventures, nice ride Fowlery ,taught for sure you would add a orange cover for the roof rack an shovels with a slingshot holster ,😜 . Have great adventures friend ,logos is rising.
Ive had older SUVs for a while too and finally wanted to get another Subaru (had an 06 wagon and i loved it) ... plus I needed good gas mileage. The crosstrek has been a great fit so far and now... time for my wheels and tires to come in and figure out which lift I want to get. LP may be getting my business.
I live in Maine as well and I’m picking up a 2014 Trek tomorrow. Almost went to Bath Subaru but scored one here in Rumford. I just discovered your channel and I’m subscribed!
I bought a 16 forester xt earlier this year, for the express purpose of doing this type of thing to it eventually. Cant wait to upgrade and thanks for the interior mod ideas
@@sidb9540 Interesting story, I got hit by a young driver who went full speed (~60 km per hour) through a red light my front end took the impact and the car had to be written off. (I walked away without a scratch.) I bought another Crosstrek. In total I driven just under 100,000kms and so far just regular maintence, with the execption of raditor clap that had to be replaced (under warrenty). We have had a weird winter, it's either been warm with freezing rain or really cold with lots of snow, making for terrible driving conditions. And the Crosstrek (with Birdgestone Blizzaks) has performed awesome. FYI my first car was Jeep Cheeroke with 4 wheel drive, and would never go back.
I had my trailer the other day & it had a low tire. I was being lazy so I pulled into a station to air it up. The pump deal took charge cards ( 2.00 dollars ). SMH. I dug my little pump out of the back. For sure always carrie one. I like the front rack a lot
Excellent vid! I've got a '13 Pumpkin as well. Love the fact that you can change the oil yourself in 5 minutes. Beware the CVT problem... they extended the warranty to 100K. Don't wait too long to have it checked out or you'll pay for it! Like I did...!
Like these my sister has one but they need some kind of locker! The AWD works decent but a center locker would help sooooooo much. I’ve gotten it stuck in a couple places that I would not have if had a little more grip.but the Cross trek can be cool for sure.
Congratulations! Looks like you've got yourself a mean mischief machine now. I hope you get a lot of fun with it. Love your videos, keep up the good work.😊❤
What an awesome ride! I´m so happy for you and it looks so cool! burst in laugh when I saw you putting on the frontseat protector, also thought of Grandmom and their Couchprotectors, but it is so nice to have something nice, new and shiny - it's like "my precious" :-) know it from myself. I'm happy for you, enjoy it, you absolutly deserve it!!
How does your crosstrek handle the increased weight of all the added parts and wheels? Crosstreks already have a rather underpowered engine and I'm curious if you've noticed any notable performance changes.
Love ya work !!! looks grouse. You probably know, but if you didnt, Torq Masters in america are very close to releasing a lunchbox locker for subarus r160 rear diff. And even more exciting Aussie AllDriveSubaru are producing a 1.6 low range to suit the 5mt out of a XT foz. All subarus bell housing patterns match. So when your CVT dies, theres upgrades !!!
Fowler's Makery and Mischief lockers make is so the wheels spin together once engaged. Really good for muddy conditions when a wheel might loose traction.
Your car's power sockets go back to a fuse on an "ignition on" power rail. Look for an empty socket (for options not installed) on the "battery constant" rail and just move the power lead for the sockets over. Quick & easy.
Wow...talk about coincidence.....I’ve been looking at getting an Outback and doing the same basic thing since April, just got the link to this video from LP who are just up the road from me. 👍👍👍
Was enjoying your video just now and as I looked up, saw the same model Subaru with the same orange colour standing right next to my 1998 Nissan Patrol, thanks for the vid a new Subbie here with some love from Central Australia🇦🇺😁 keep them vids coming cheers👍 and take care...
My mom used to have a Subaru Impreza and a Subaru Forester and they were awesome. The Forester's gear broke and some idiot rammed her car into the back right door and swung us into another car and broke our light. And this happened in 2017 and the impreza was a 1981 and it was awesome.
it been over a year now and alot of mile and all the stuf from LP still looks brand new so 👌 good stuf . those plate and stuff underneath have saved the day alt leat 3 time .
Fun video. I just moved to a place where AWD is important. Been hunting online for what to buy and the Crosstrek is high on the list. Just worried about the lack of power.
This is going to be awesome. Zach and Chris oh c'mon folks you know this year's Survival Challenge will be so good. Set your reminders to watch!
You have the first comment friend
Just remember you always need a old vehicle for backup you never know end of the world might be a giant emp blast.
@@Gettinbentoffroad and a old vehicle will change that how?? Its still got a battery and that will be fried if an emp goes off.
Appalachian American find a source of power hell my old bronco I can start with one wire just jumping the starter fuse box maybe has 5 glass fuses which are not required to make it run.

Just the rear seats down or all seats down?
@@luvjoebacon2915 just the rear seats will fit a twin sized bed!
Dude at the shop was the most honest dude ever. "This was easy and anyone could have done it in their yard" is the greatest response after someone has just paid for the work lol.
Those are by far the nicest skid plates! Now that is one sharp Crosstrek. Nicely done. Get on those trails. Viva Subaru
That car is a beast i love how your still appreciative of what you have by covering the seats a stuff dispite winning all that money its nice to see good on you
Just bought a 2014 Subaru Crosstrek in ORANGE! It’s cool to see what adding different options can make it look like.
I have owned my Subaru Crosstrek for over a year and been debating how to make it more ready for trails and off road. This is one of the better video's that I have seen exhibiting the products. Thanks!

Just saw a video on Rick Hutton's channel that talks about inflatable mattresses for the Crosstrek. There are custom fit ones which seem great.
Awesome Crosstrek !!! Just rolled over 135k on mine and was thinking of putting a lift on it also. I take mine up into western Maine and never worry about the snow or "soft roading" I do out there.

I'm not a car guy but I kinda get a strange satisfying feel watching you work on your Subaru.
The roof rack makes it the most badass !
Dayum Fowler, that is one good looking car. Can't wait to see it crawling through the woods!
WOW... what a transformation. I must now invest in tires and rims.
Great choice! It's hard to beat a Subaru. They are one of the best vehicles you can buy for snow and fuel economy. They last forever.
unless the cvt burns out
What tires he running
I like them too. I’ve heard reports of them burning oil. Is that accurate?
Diesel engines nad clutches nie manual transmissions in subarus are the worst thing in car industry.
Keep it serviced, they have one of the best cvts out there with no oil burning issues. Comments like that are from misinformed RUclipsrs
Excellent video Zach. It's very apparent how much work you put into this and it totally paid off. Keep up the good work and thank you for all the content you put out.

Never thought I could want a Suburu so badly.
Your car certainly makes a statement. Love it.
That is how every Crosstrek should be built!!
Very nice! I have a 2014 in Venetian red almost the exact same set up. I love my Crosstrek! I added a Borla exhaust as well just to give it a little attitude.

i love my crosstrek2016 black w/ black DRIFTZ 5 spoke rims . it moved my family from Philadelphia to Scottsdale AZ to Corrales NM with lots of adventures in between...
Awesome! A 2013 Crosstrek was my first new car. It was a great car and yours came out very cool looking my man!
😂😂😂 I remember those plastic on the coach and the ones you were not allowed to sit on 😎 we love you nana
This really is a cool little car. In Texas as a carpenter I need and love my F150, but this looks like a fun car.
Thanks LP Adventures, nice ride Fowlery ,taught for sure you would add a orange cover for the roof rack an shovels with a slingshot holster ,😜 . Have great adventures friend ,logos is rising.
It looks beautiful the boys will have a lot of fun and the kids will be safe God bless and have fun you earned it.
Nice little trail running vehicle sir. Can't wait for the rest of the series!
Absolutely the best build ever!!!!
Nice work, amigo! We just got a Crosstrek...what a fun ride on and off the tarmac! Keep getting it after it
Nice ride! Looks sharp!
Ive had older SUVs for a while too and finally wanted to get another Subaru (had an 06 wagon and i loved it) ... plus I needed good gas mileage.

Cool thanks ya I love my Treck still after having it for 2 almost 3 years now
I bought a 16 forester xt earlier this year, for the express purpose of doing this type of thing to it eventually. Cant wait to upgrade and thanks for the interior mod ideas
Just did the same Lift and wheels for my Forester.
That was awesome! I drive a Crosstrek to handle the northern Alberta winters and it's second to none. Love your channel.
thanks ya I cant wait to see my first winter with it
How many Kms do you have? any issues so far?

I have a 2019 with that same inside loving the color
I love the Subarus. I just wish it had a bit more oomph on the highways as I drive a lot for my job. Loaded down, it just needs more for me. Enjoy it!
3.6l outback

I gotta hook up with LP Adventure for the Outback👍
I have exactly the same 2013 Crosstrek - and I live in Canada - so I've been wanting to put this kit on mine for a while. Could be time!
Sweet ride and great graphics! ..............and Malcolm likes it!
Awesome build!
Watching every single episode
That's a very nice ride ya got! I'd be excited about it too! You deserve it. Keep it up Fowler!
thanks
Субару XV лучшая тачка для пересечённой местности,и для города тоже хороша!

Love it man ! What a sweet ride !
Wow man.

Every dice.
Congratulations from Medellín Colombia
Awesome build! I'll do that to my wife's Crosstrek!
very nice car. we called it the great pumpkin when i was detailing it

Awesome guys!!!!! I follow you both as i am Canadian n followed the wooded beardsman.. but Followed Zach since after alone... Nice colab guys 8)
my co worker calls this a Crosstruck. Awesome.
whoaahh! your XV looks 100x more beautiful after the tire swap!! lol!
It's so beautiful there, I cant wait to get out of jersey.
Awww the plastic covers on the couches of childhood 😍. The horrible memories. 😅😂🤣
I loooove the Matt black rims
Awesome Video budd, I'm picking up the new 2021 Cross Trek thinking of what to put on it.
it been over a year now and alot of mile and all the stuf from LP still looks brand new so 👌 good stuf . those plate and stuff underneath have saved the day alt leat 3 time .

That is one awesome vehicle congrats.
Hey brother, what a great build for the little Subaru ‼️
Looks great
Idk why but I always find the screwing in the tiring sound is so satisfying
You got me with the rims. 👌
