What make subaru truly the best is WHAT YOU DON'T have to do to them.

The fact that you put your family first before your video is amazing. She wanted you're attention and you instantly gave it to her. Good man good father

I get the stink eye from jeepers all the time in my Crosstrek! Argued one day out in the Ocotillo Wells ORV area with a jeeper about how I got into the area they swore only lifted jeeps or side-by-side could access. I assured him it didn't fly and offered to have him ride out with me to the paved road. I love my Subaru

My wife’s outback has gotten places my lifted Tundra can’t.

Interesting "FUN FACT" : While attending a Weapons school in the Navy many years ago, one of my classmates was stationed in Philippines when Mt Pinatubo blew (I was actually on deployment myself having just been there a couple months prior). With all the ash everywhere the only vehicle able to get around was his 4wd Subaru POS rusted out dive vehicle.. He also took amazing pics of it all..

I think Subarus getting stuck is an indication that people actually use them as intended. It seems that lots of 4x4 off-road trucks are afraid to drive on gravel.

Recoveries, off roading, camping, and exploring adventures. You really know how to live! I love your channel man!

The Softroading the West, another KZreadr from Oregon, drove a 2012 Forester that he lifted with springs and bigger tires. He went places that Jeeps and other 4X4s went. It was also his daily driver...but that ended when someone hit it and totalled it. It was a great rig.

my Daily is a Diesel Forrester .. had it 5 years & it's done everything i've asked of it .. week long camping trips .. forest tracks .. long road trips .. like the look of 2" long spring/damper lift kit

i really do like the "This is what i use, how i use it, where i got it, So Ya here is a video" its soo nice to see how IRL a product can be! Rather then an AD on something the pitchman used only for the ad. Thanks For Sharing!

Casey, we are not going anywhere. This is why I like your channel; you always have something different going on.

Any questions about Casey's character were answered in one little part of this video. When his daughter came up and interrupted the interview, Casey didn't just push her away or blow her off, he ditched the interview to see what she wanted to show him. It was awesome to witness.

Chris had the Subaru part covered, Riley just wanted to ask if she could climb in the tent, and you saw the answer!

Owned a subaru since 2015. Bought it as a DD because my lifted tacoma drinks fuel like a V8 from the 1970's. After 6 years of ownership of the subaru and 12 years of the tacoma I can honestly say I feel 100% safer in the subaru.

I had a 1982 AMC Eagle Sport that would give a Subaru some good competition in stock form. It was this high from the factory. It was a posi with a Pontiac 4 cyl and it wouldn't spin a tire in snow or sand, It didn't have the power, it just went. The only 4X4 I ever knew of that came with white sidewall tires from the factory.

Thanks for the feedback and plug for our Rigs and Coffee event, Casey. Great having you out-enjoy your gear and see you next time. 🍻

I love my Outback and what it can do. Will have to checkout the discounts you have made available. Thanks Casey and it’s time to go camping!

Nice to see the Subaru's being shown with the off road lift kits, winches, and roof campers. I would add that a rear tow hitch is a good addition. For towing, and using as a winch attachment. My Subaru is stock, and it can go many places on the forest service roads, watching so I do not get bottomed out, and never have.

Years ago a kid I knew had one of the latest Chevy Camaros before they quit making them for several years thanks to recession. We had put on all the aftermarket products including computer to make that car faster and more powerful. He ended up selling it and buying a all wheel drive Subaru sports car instead. '' I don't remember which one anymore " That new Subaru was faster that Camaro was plus in the winter time when it snowed that car would stay between the ditches unlike the souped up rear wheel drive.

I have a stage-2 lift kit (2") from Ironman on my '15 xterra pro-4X. Solid product and excellent customer service.

Great content! We are watching from central Maine- your our only connection to your area of the world! Fun to watch. Have a simple idea- for one video perhaps- could you show the summer look of some of the places where you towed out some cars? Maybe just a still shot of the car towed out and how it looks now without snow? Just a thought- the area you live in is fun to see. Keep up the great work!

I'm gonna keep it real 100%, my wifes lifted outback on AT tires has outperformed my lifted Tahoe and XJ with open differentials in the Central Oregon terrain including deep snow. I love the AWD system. Great video Casey!✌🏼🌲

It's the wheel-independent traction control that uses the brakes to prevent free spinning. Not quite as good as a true diff lock, but close enough. For a lot of SUVs and trucks, you'll get more capability out of good tires and lockers than out of a lift.

When my wife had a Forester, we went some ridiculous places with it and never had a problem, except for breaking through deep snow. Trails and some gnarly forest roads were no problem.

Casey you are very much a gentleman. Thanks for helping others out of the goodness of your heart.

Lived in a ski resort town for five years, pulled out more stuck Subaru’s than any other SUVs. Most were high centered on snow. Unrealistic expectations of their capabilities.

Interesting accessories for setting up a Subaru. Don't forget to install some tow points for Casey!

Thanks for the posting Casey. Very timely as I was looking at the bumper high snow around my Outback and was looking for information on this very thing.

Good presentation and I liked the change of content. I’ve never been to Oregon and would love to see the back country. As far as suburbs go my wife had a WRX when we lived in Albuquerque but when we moved to New Hampshire the WRX became a snowplow/drifter so she bought an Outback. The car handled the ice and snow with ease.

Love the variety of content on your channel! The variety is what makes it interesting from this to taking down the sign to exploring old paths and of course the recoveries.

Bail on you? No way! I love all of your videos, you make sense! Thanks, take care, stay safe.

Great video Casey. Thks for sharing the Ironman event. Good info.

Interesting video. I owned a camper years ago, but have gotten very settled and sedentary in my ways. Your spiel on Subaru and the extra equipment available for them got my blood pumping a bit again. It looks like a very workable package. Gives me something to think about.......

"Subaru is the king of awd" audi: how DARE you

Back in the 90s My buddy built a tube chassis buggy that used a full 1980s Suburu drivetrain. The early ones actually had a 2speed 4x4 transfer case. He turboed the old school pushrod motor for more power and also Lincoln locked the diffs. That thing would go anywhere !

Good morning Casey. That was a real nice video and good to see you guys having fun! Riley was having a blast checking things out LOL.. I agree with you on Subaru All wheel drive system, we have two Foresters in our family and they both have been flawless with each of them having over 100,000 miles now. I like the awning and roof top tent. I am going to have to check into this company. Thank you Casey! Have an awesome day and of course thumbs UP! 👍

I have a lifted Subaru Crosstrek over here in Idaho, my dad calls it "the orange mountain goat". I have the Ironman 4x4 suspension lift. I can attest to its great improvement of ride quality on washboard and off-road over the stock suspension. I got mine on a 25% off sale that included a free air compressor. I modified the air compressor with a pressure switch and tank, and mounted it as a permanent on-board air system.

I find the lift kit idea very interesting. Interesting enough I might pick up a Subaru. I do need a replacement for the Grand Cherokee that got wrecked.

I almost brought my 2021 Forester with the Ironman lift to that event, wish I did now. I had it installed at their shop in Sherwood about 6 months ago and couldn't be happier. Just FYI they do 25% off all the time on their suspensions if you can wait a month or two.

Thanks for doing this feature on Ironman and giving Subaru some credit too. The good news is I installed an Ironman ATS kit on my Crosstrek, the bad news is I haven't gotten stuck since... 😕 I still think a winch would round things out well, though.

I am redeemed! Thank you.. So tired of being teased for my Crosstrek. (Orange, of course...) if I were not 75 years old, I would buy one of these kits. The one time I got stuck was hung up in deep snow. But I was in my driveway. Because I am, like, old and I know better. 😉

Hello Casey, couldn't help but notice the old brat in the show. Was my favorite back in the day and very capable. Subi's are very capable like you noted and glad to see a company that can make them better. Have fun and enjoy your setup it looks great. Thanks again for all you do.

Awesome video great to see your family having fun with you and Riley is just too cute

Nice to see you not picking on Subarus in this video 😂😂😂 I love my Outback!!! I put a set of amazing winter tires on it and in the two years that I have had it I never had an issue in Alberta Canada winters. In fact I only had the traction system have to help me once when driving it on a ice covered road when I was leaving a stop light. It handles amazing on pavement, gravel and on snow. Comfortable to drive (I am short so lots of room). Really good gas mileage. Yes the clearance is an issue but for me if I want more I take my Ford Transit. Biggest complaint on the Subaru is that it has ZERO accessible storage inside for drinks, snacks, paper, etc. As much as I love my vehicles I still miss simple locking hubs that I can scrape my knuckles on the ice or mud when turning them but then knowing they are actually engaged.

awesome. deff want to see more of these overlanding videos

Riley looks like she had fun and just because the snow melted doesn't mean life stops. Can't wait for the next videos change is good can only watch so many Subaru recoverys 😜

Can't wait to see some overlanding vids from you! My wife just got a crosstrek too.

That was a great video Casey .. And best wishes from Scotland... Thank you..👍

Great to see that you love using a Australian company like Ironman

Hi from Australia, Thanks for the info. I have a 2015 Forester, it's my dream car. The lift kit sounds awesome idea. I'll have to do some research to see what's available here in Australia. Love your videos, thanks again.

Wife and I ended up buying a new 2023 crosstrek premium with a manual, and it is my daily driver and I love it. It's slow to accelerate, so that must be said. That set aside, every other aspect is just perfect. It looks nice and does more than I need it for. I used to be a Ford only type of person, because I grew up with my dad working in a Ford plant, then my brother, and now me. Ford has nothing on like the Subaru Crosstrek, and the fact I could get a manual simply sold me on it. I do not like automatics, and I am probably one of the very out there minority who prefer a manual transmission.

Love my 2011 Outback. Thankfully since I'm in Europe I don't have to deal with the CVTs, I have the 6 speed manual transmission with a 2 litre diesel engine. Here in central Sweden I don't really need a lift, even out on forest roads in the winter, so mine is stock except for a set of 3 extra xenon high beams.

always look forward to any of your content

love the variety keep it up

Most excellent stuff. Now I have to look into Ironman bumper for my truck and lift for my Forester. :-( Looking forward to your new videos.

Great video, can't wait for dessert explorer trips again

Those tents and awnings are cool

i have similar roof tent for years now (it is actually the same :) but from different company - also Australian) and I love it! It is opened in 4 min and closed in 5 min, while I can leave sleeping bag and pillow in it...

I mainly agree with the video but there are several other options for lifting a Subaru with just suspension from within the States.. Gorilla Offroad, Flatout and a few others. Spacers, well quality spacers, such as Subie Lift Oz or ADF, do have camber and caster adjustment built in for lifts larger than 2" which isn't found in suspension only kits such as ironman. So if you're looking for a lift more than that you'll still end up using strut top spacers and subframe spacers.

Love this video, excited to see moore!

Another good info video for anyone that likes to go camping and a Subaru owner!

awesome videos. have applied techniques you use in the high desert there. to the offroad wheeling and recoveries that I do down here. awesome content

I like your story telling and adventurous can do attitude. That is why I watch. I also always joke that I'm gonna get a early 80s 2wd mini truck and put RAV4 AWD running gear in it. And rally the places people have to crawl in their standard 4wd setup

Well dang, I walked past you several times going, “I swear that guy looks real familiar” at the Ironman event 😂 My crosstrek was out in the overflow parking

I've only seen 1 lifted Subaru in NW Montana, but I'm here to tell you that that little thing was going places where you'd have to be half goat and all Indian to even WALK. I'm a square body Chevy guy and always will be, but if you can find the best tool for the job you're doing, then you would be stoopud for using anything else. Thanks for sharing, Casey. It's attitudes like yours that make me subscribe to many different channels besides yours, and I believe it makes the world a better place by coaxing people out of their comfort zone, expanding their horizons and (for some) even opening up their closed minds to different ways we can all work together... cuz 'Murica!!! Also, I drive a '77 Joop sitting on an '84 Blazer frame with Dana 60 and corporate 14 bolt axles, 350, carb and 4 speed manual. EVERYONE I see is whooping, hollering, giving me a thumbs up and asking if they can take pictures. That will crawl through 24 inches of HEAVY ,wet snow all day long with no chains and drive over kelly humps and not even think once about doing so. It is the perfect tool for my job, and I would be stoopud for using anything else. Jus sayin

Wait, I know those boots! I have the same one and absolutely love them.

Riley is just adorable 🤩... Thanks for the vlog.

Thanks Casey!

Very cool gear! Both the overlanding stuff, which I've become quite a fan of myself, and really? Off-road Subarus? How can you not *love* ? I would definitely have used your code if I lived nearby! And lastly but not least, nice to see Riley again, she just makes me laugh :D

Can’t wait to see your camping trips I’ve always wanted to visit that part of the country. Riley’s like my great grandkids they just steal your heart.

I have a 2015 Outback 3.6 and thought about the lift, but bought a 2020 Ranger FX4 for that type stuff. The Outback is great for everything else.
