If you're in Utah County and you need a good mechanic, see my friend Jason at Autotek, 720 N State St, Orem, UT. He's fast, knowledgeable, and honest, and he keeps my Outback in good shape.
awd lifted Sienna would be my pick if only it could get a little more than 23mpg and I think Sienna is probably more reliable long term; Outback can easily get 26 and is probably the only car that has that capability, fuel economy and size; And as far as trucks go, not willing to settle for darn 11mpg; Thats crazy; It would be cheaper to fly and then rent a jeep at a location where you plan to go adventuring
10/10 the best car video I’ve ever watched this video was exactly what I needed when looking for a vehicle. I found a 2012 outback with 50,000 miles for $12k and it’s been awesome. Very off road capable as well as on road manners. Thank you for this video
This video helped me on my final decision for my next vehicle... I just bought a 2012 Subaru Outback 2.5i manual and after driving it for a couple days I gotta say, you are right! Now I gotta lift it!
My wife and I just bought a 2011 2.5 premium. It is hands down one of the most capable vehicles out there. It soaks up bumps like they aren't even there, yet it is rigid enough to handle moderate trails in stock form. I will be buying another one when budget allows
2018 Jeep Compass 4x4 (not a trail hawk). Like you gets me and my family to off the beaten path places for weekend adventures, but great for being my daily commuter. I to also purchased the Rola roof rack basket for the same reasons you mentioned. I have had it for almost a year now and it is as solid as when I first put it on. Keep up the great videos and hopefully the RUclips platform will continue to allow you to do what you are so good at doing; producing solid, informative and well thought out videos.
I have a 2012 Pathfinder. I needed the low range gearing to make it up hills with off camber situations and not worry about the transmission heating up. I enjoyed your video quite a bit! Looking forward to updates.
One of the things that impacted my decision to buy a 2012 Outback limited 2.5i is that the car is unusually comfortable but utilitarian. The suspension doesn't beat you up like many offroading specific cars. Jeeps are known to be uncomfortable and loud on the highway, which sucks because you only really use the offroad aspect of the car like 10 percent of the time. The Subaru can be good at offroading, while still being comfortable on the highway. I also live in the northeast where we have blizzards and ferocious summer thunderstorms. None of the weather caused me to slide or get stuck or feel nervous while driving. It's been very reliable too. I put 105,579 miles on it from 87,000 miles and it's been great! Just oil changes. They are uber-popular in the northeast and I'm glad I bought a safe, reliable, and practical wagon
@@Scott079 notorious huh? Where exactly to you see all this notoriety? And while true that taller COG vehicles are easier to tip over, 4Runners are no more likely than any other brand of suv.
@@Scott079 not true at all , they are one of the most used off road vehicles out there . The Tacoma, 4runner, and jeep are the most used so your info is false
Looking into getting a 2014 Subaru Outback and these are the only upgrades I would get too. One of the best SO videos out there about simple upgrades. Thanks!
I had a Subaru Outback a few years back and we had a snow storm that dropped 27 inches. A friend of mine was having trouble with his heating system and asked me if I could come over and help him . Well I tried and I didn't have much trouble until I hit a large area that was drifted. The front of a Subaru only plows snow for a little ways. Had to turn around a go back home. They are tough vehicles.
nando1026 Oh man that sucks I’m sorry maybe the people I know who’s had a Subaru got lucky or something. I personally never owned one but I sold cars for a few years and everyone I spoke to about them always had great things to say about the dependability and toughness of them? Hope everything works out good luck.
I feel like in a lot of areas it's a good grey man / sleeper vehicle. There's like a bajillion Outbacks in upstate NY, and they all look mostly the same. But you can easily "hide" skidplates, rock crawlers, a hitch, and throw a winch and battery in the back, or get a winch built into the front bumper, and get AT tires. Unless you know what you're looking for, it'll look like all the other Outbacks, but probably go more places safer. You can also get a cheapish auto locker for the rear now that would be invisible, but greatly increase capability. The lift is the thing that is going to be the most noticeable to me... Not sure how noticeable it is just walking by (if you're not looking for it).
Great video and thank you for the insight. I just bought a 2011 Subaru Outback 2.5i Limited as a daily commuter after moving to Colorado from Florida and my 2005 Jeep Wrangler popped a head gasket. My wife drives our 2021 Toyota 4runner Venture Edition and we live in the mountains and commute to Denver for work. SH he will be fine through the winter after we get her some snow tires or all terrains. I am thinking of going with the same setup for suspension as you did only going with Falken Wildpeaks as the only difference. Your insights will keep me going through the winter until I can really get to working on all three of my vehicles offroading and suspension/tire upgrades. Thanks again!
My adventure vehicle is a 2011 F250 crew cab 4x4 turbo diesel truck with a 6.5 foot bed. It is long. I run BF Goodrich All Terrain TA/KO 2 tires, a roll up tonneau cover, and weatherguard window shades. I love it. Unloaded I get 20 mpg on the highway. When towing my 32 foot travel trailer I get 14. With 400 hp and 800 lb-ft of torque I never want for power. The console, rear underseat storage, and behind rear seat storage provide plenty of room for essentials like a full tool set, axe, machete, first aid kit, rope, tarps, blankets, etc. The only complaint is it is long with a horrible turning radius. My oldest son drives a 2007 Forester, lowered not lifted, and my wife has a 2019 Subaru Ascent. We like subies.
Great choice of car; I have exclusively owned Subarus for the last 25 years, starting with the Leone moving on to multiple Legacy's and a Forester, they suit our NZ roads that can often be very wet and winding. I've taken them off road often on the beach and on gravel surfaces; never had a problem, I've even towed out a Land Rover that was stuck in soft sand. There was a famous Kiwi Champion Subaru Rally Driver "Possum Bourne" sadly he was lost doing what he loved best, but his Subaru Tuning Shop is his legacy (pun intended) I really like the 2500 non turbo motor and the 4 wheel drive system is one of the best. I currently drive a late model Mitsi Outlander; not by choice but because it provided by my company. Every time I get to drive my wifes ten year old Legacy wagon I'm reminded how much more refined even the older Subs are compared to more modern Mitsisubishitis. I will continue to buy Subs in the future, My wife will only own Subs and my 16 year old daughter is in the market for one for her first car.
Outbacks have to be one of the best all around, versatile vehicles out there. Picked up a 2022 Wilderness, comfort, fuel economy, utility, reliability, checks all the boxes. Good video, nice firearms too.
Great video, well done. I have the 11' with the 2" LP Aventure kit- love it as you do. I found your video very helpful in a lot of aspects. I will look into your roof basket as well. Thanks so very much for your insight on the Subaru Outback and upgrades
Our outbacks are nearly identical! I have a 14 with a 2inch ADF lift with the 235 coopers. The front struts are VERY close to rubbing the tires but it works. Love the new stance with the lift
Thank you for making this video! Im abt to purchase an lp 2" lift for my 2013 3.6R and I couldn't find tires that gave my the fitment I want. Your set-up is PERFECT! and our cars just happen to be the same color:)
I have a 2005 OB XT manual that I’m going to outfit to Overland. Unfortunately I have frameless doors so I’d have to attach the rain guards onto the car body. There is a metal step that hooks into the door catch on the body which allow you to step up to grab items on the roof. How is your Outback doing?
Hi great video. Can you give an update on the lift? Any issues? Any of the wear and tear on the other components you mentioned? At least enough to have to replace anything? Thanks in advance!
Nice upgrades! We drive a Land Rover for exploring the terrain in Sweden but it takes a bit too much fuel for long trips. We also have a Subaru Outback, completely stock except for the tires. Adding a lift kit seems to really make a difference.
I like all you did with one caveat, upgrade the shocks. As for my adventure vehicle, I’m retired now but when I was your age all my vehicles were over the top. I loved to race off road so everything had to be to the extreme. For your purpose you don’t need much more at all. Great video.
It looks like you found the (near) perfect vehicle for yourself. My "adventure vehicle" is a Chevy 4x4, with a hitch-mounted motorcycle rack that carries a Suzuki DR650. It's the perfect go anywhere, do anything combination vehicle. With a bike and a truck, there's no stopping me. My back-up vehicle is a Jeep JK. I know, people will tell me I have it backwards. But I can camp in my truck without a roof tent. Not so in the Jeep. I enjoyed the video. "Thumbs up" from this Kentucky boy.
I just got a 2019 Outback I found a lift kit under $200. I’m also going with a cargo box instead of a rack. I have ordered a sleeping mattress and later a suv tent.
The same outfit that sells the lift kit has a nice wrap around front bumper cage that will protect the front grill and side quarter panels from brush and rock hits and is also a good mounting point for additional lighting. If the price is as fair as the lift kit I might just go for both when I get my next subie. In between at the moment. Databyter
Great video. We bought new Outback my offroad is 2012 Tacoma Trd lifted. Wife I am sure will not let me do much to her new baby as you did but will squeeze in some better tires. Subscribed to you as well. Thanks
I gotta ask because everyone and their brother thinks the head gasket will blow any day now... any major issues or oil consumption? I think it’s mostly negative hype..
I have a 2017 and a 2 inch ready lift about to go on and 225 65 17 ko2s can’t wait to put everything on..also got 15% tint all around and bull guard bumper and skar zvx18 subwoofer and many more things to go..I can’t decide if I want outlander vehicle or low rider pimp mobile so I’m going with a mixture of both haha..subi life!! Good video!
My 4runner gets me all over. My first car was a 1978 Subaru wagon and it took me all over. It did not have much needed torque so it lacked the ability to do it all but she was my little pig nonetheless.
U did an excellent, informative, short and to the point job on this vid. I thank ya, just bought the 2014 3.6 but the mpg is 23.5 mainly freeway, which isn't that good considering the biden industry. But I still wanna lift it.. Straight out of Laytown , bang bang..
I'm a gun guy and definitely not a car guy too. I'm also a M-F/9-5 worker and been looking for that weekend warrior car. This video was one of the best car reviews I've found so far! Was your Outback a 4 cylinder or 6 cylinder?
I’m on my second cross trek, first one was a manual transmission and I hated it because the manual transmission, second one I got is the CVT and it’s great, and living up in New England I need something that is good in the snow
Always wanted a Subaru Forester or Outback. Unfortunately our dealership over here sucks and I refuse to buy from them. But I do have an SUV and would only have an SUV, Crossover, or a truck.
Great video! After owning a 4wd F150, Rubicon and Sport Jeep Wranglers, I’ve been very happy with my 2015 Subaru Forester. It does all I need it to and is much more comfortable to drive and gets great gas mileage. It’s a waste of money buying a daily driver thats really suited more for serious off road work. Besides, how hardcore are you gonna get with your $45k Rubicon?
Most Subaru owners can't help but be Subaru marketers. They're a perfect niche fit, when you want a car 80% of the time and a deep snow / reasonably capable off-road vehicle 20% of the time. A very common need in the Mountain Time Zone and you'll find Subarus everywhere with owners talking just like this.
Hi Do you need some great lighting for your car to help you better driving, off-road. We're the pro auto lighting manufacturer for nearly 20 year and we're looking for sponsorship!
I used to knock subarus. Cause it seems like 90 percent of the cars are subarus and they usually have some Bernie sanders sticker or leftist slogan slapped on tbe back. I live in washington. But they are good awd vehicles and reliable. Dont care for the car models. People put obnoxiously loud fart cans on them
In Ohio, they think I'm crazy cause I bought a 2018 Subaru Outback Premium. Drove over to Colorado, Utah, Wyoming , and South Dakota. Subarus are everywhere. Ohio is polluted by Honda
You mentioned it but watching you Go over some of those rocks made me cringe.... you might look for a metal skid plate! The boxer engine sits pretty low in the engine bay, I’d be afraid to smoke your oil pan or a diff on one of those rocks out in the middle of nowhere
This was great, thanks! I have a '14 that I'm looking to make the exact same upgrades. Also, I'd recommend looking into the upgraded Yakima cross bars, towers, and landing pads....enough increased capacity to use my roof top tent.
I loved my Subie... until it blew up. Ill give it a few years and re-evaluate them... seems they're having trouble figuring out how not to screw their customers.
I cant lie Scout....I have zero interest in the topic of this video....HOWEVER, as always you did an AMAZING job on this content, and I watched every single minute...with interest lol!
Why is the man kneeling in the picture promoted at the beginning of the video have a hooded Klansman next to a person wearing Blackface on his poster? Would love to learn the context here.
That was a picture of former Governor Ralph Northam, of Virginia, taken from his 1981 medical school yearbook. He was either the klansman, or the one in blackface (not sure which), and he confirmed it in his apology: www.cnn.com/2019/02/01/politics/northam-blackface-photo/index.html A the time I posted this, the VCDL was rallying against unconstitutional gun laws being pushed by Gov Northam: www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/editorials/ralph-northam-is-demonizing-gun-owners-to-distract-from-his-racist-past
Chad B I mean, if they were famous or something I would get it...no one wants this guys identity lol and we couldn’t get it with his license plate..haha, oh well I guess you can never be too safe..people will try anything is this day and age

For a guy who isn’t a car guy, you definitely bought a good car and made some sensible upgrades.

Nice upgrades! We drive a Land Rover for exploring the terrain in Sweden but it takes a bit too much fuel for long trips. We also have a Subaru Outback, completely stock except for the tires. Adding a lift kit seems to really make a difference.

Enjoyed this video and format. So my adventure vehicle is an ole' LX 470.

I definitely want to upgrade the shocks, yes. Any recommendations?
I got the Subaru Legacy 2.0D-X EXECUTIVE Outback for the dirttracks at mij place in Hungary. Find out how that goes ;)
Cant go wrong with the Outback, boxer and symmetrical AWD gives this car grip like no other.
Yeah its perfect for The Outback;)

Any follow up on the Outback?
I have been interested in a used Outback but concerned about issues I've read concerning head gaskets around 90k-140k.
Only particular years! Don’t believe all the propaganda, check out Mr. Subaru he’s pretty much the authority on boxer motors!
I just got a 2019 Outback I found a lift kit under $200. I’m also going with a cargo box instead of a rack. I have ordered a sleeping mattress and later a suv tent.
Will the outback be good for going hunting?

Great video and very informative. What size Cooper Discoverer AT3 tire did you buy to go with your lift kit?
What was that awning off of the tailgate? Sweet rig! Definitely gonna lift my fiancées outback 👍🏼

Almost 2 years since this video, but it's still my daily driver, and it's going strong.

I'm a gun guy and definitely not a car guy too. I'm also a M-F/9-5 worker and been looking for that weekend warrior car. This video was one of the best car reviews I've found so far! Was your Outback a 4 cylinder or 6 cylinder?
Grest bugout vehicle as well doesn't grab the attention as much.
Lovely video, cheers
What kind of trunk canopy is that?
Slumberjack Roadhouse. amzn.to/2YUJk2s
12:40 Dacia Duster 4x4 :-)
Great vlog thanks for sharing
Great video - Thanks!!
I’m on my second cross trek, first one was a manual transmission and I hated it because the manual transmission, second one I got is the CVT and it’s great, and living up in New England I need something that is good in the snow
Any cvt issues?
Never. It's been very reliable.
@@TheLateBoyScout great to hear that
Always wanted a Subaru Forester or Outback. Unfortunately our dealership over here sucks and I refuse to buy from them. But I do have an SUV and would only have an SUV, Crossover, or a truck.
Great video! After owning a 4wd F150, Rubicon and Sport Jeep Wranglers, I’ve been very happy with my 2015 Subaru Forester. It does all I need it to and is much more comfortable to drive and gets great gas mileage. It’s a waste of money buying a daily driver thats really suited more for serious off road work. Besides, how hardcore are you gonna get with your $45k Rubicon?
Man this sounds like a marketing piece from subaru...
Most Subaru owners can't help but be Subaru marketers. They're a perfect niche fit, when you want a car 80% of the time and a deep snow / reasonably capable off-road vehicle 20% of the time. A very common need in the Mountain Time Zone and you'll find Subarus everywhere with owners talking just like this.
Liked for VCDL support even though I'm in the Southwest now.
We love our outback it is more capable than most give it credit for
Dude I wish I spoke as well as you do! 👍
Hi Do you need some great lighting for your car to help you better driving, off-road. We're the pro auto lighting manufacturer for nearly 20 year and we're looking for sponsorship!
I used to knock subarus. Cause it seems like 90 percent of the cars are subarus and they usually have some Bernie sanders sticker or leftist slogan slapped on tbe back. I live in washington. But they are good awd vehicles and reliable. Dont care for the car models. People put obnoxiously loud fart cans on them
Cool license plate.
😁
In Ohio, they think I'm crazy cause I bought a 2018 Subaru Outback Premium. Drove over to Colorado, Utah, Wyoming , and South Dakota. Subarus are everywhere. Ohio is polluted by Honda
Great video 👌
You mentioned it but watching you Go over some of those rocks made me cringe.... you might look for a metal skid plate! The boxer engine sits pretty low in the engine bay, I’d be afraid to smoke your oil pan or a diff on one of those rocks out in the middle of nowhere
I’ve considered it. There’s a plastic one under there, but a tough metal one would be better.
This was great, thanks! I have a '14 that I'm looking to make the exact same upgrades. Also, I'd recommend looking into the upgraded Yakima cross bars, towers, and landing pads....enough increased capacity to use my roof top tent.
I loved my Subie... until it blew up. Ill give it a few years and re-evaluate them... seems they're having trouble figuring out how not to screw their customers.
I cant lie Scout....I have zero interest in the topic of this video....HOWEVER, as always you did an AMAZING job on this content, and I watched every single minute...with interest lol!
Stupid comment
@@usernameisusername I'm glad you think so buddy. Unfortunately...I didn't leave the comment for you. I hope you have a wonderful day 😀
@@HnRe42 double down on stupid comment
HnRe42 CK is just mad his dumb ass still rides the bus! 😂🤣😭
Why is the man kneeling in the picture promoted at the beginning of the video have a hooded Klansman next to a person wearing Blackface on his poster? Would love to learn the context here.
That was a picture of former Governor Ralph Northam, of Virginia, taken from his 1981 medical school yearbook. He was either the klansman, or the one in blackface (not sure which), and he confirmed it in his apology: www.cnn.com/2019/02/01/politics/northam-blackface-photo/index.html
A the time I posted this, the VCDL was rallying against unconstitutional gun laws being pushed by Gov Northam: www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/editorials/ralph-northam-is-demonizing-gun-owners-to-distract-from-his-racist-past
Gun guys should do more car reviews.
Nice car.
I thought only the LGBT drove those? Jk they are great for off road!
He is wearing a lot of plaid, so I know I wont be judging..... /s
@@dagamore 🤣
I was going to say the same thing, but I didn't think anyone else ever noticed that, so I didn't. Lol
So much for stereotypes . . .
@@hondasaki900 😂😂😂
No one wants to see your license plate lol..that was unnecessary..js..I love my outback..I have ko2s on mine...mmmm love it!!
Exactly. Why do people block or blur the license plate? You can see thousands of license plates just going about your day.
Chad B I mean, if they were famous or something I would get it...no one wants this guys identity lol and we couldn’t get it with his license plate..haha, oh well I guess you can never be too safe..people will try anything is this day and age
Ohio is polluted with Honda, Lexus and Toyota. I drove my 2018 Subaru Outback Premium 2.5 to the Grand Tetons , Subaru everywhere
Awesome vid! Subies rock!
03 outback llbean. If she gets dented... Who cares
Cool!!
