I love your choice in wheels and tires! Outstanding Crossie! My wife and I each have our own 2016 and we love them!

Crosstreks have to have aftermarket side window tint. I don't know what the deal is, but those windows will cook off your arm hair, stock. Great mods! I love your crosstrek!

Great video, nice to see the whole family . Hope you guys had lots of fun. Stay safe.

@Arkansas Offroad I've dreamed about having a Crosstrek like that for years now... but my concern was always the lift kit (which everyone seems to put on), which I don't want... Thanks to you now I've got hope and will definitely go buy a Crosstrek and put thos 15" tires. Thank you so much!

Right on! That thing is sweeeeet

Great video, I have a 2019 Crosstrek in Cool grey khaki. I love it, It is a great SUV. I also bought the rubber black cup holder liners trimmed in orange from Amazon, Gives the inside a better look. I have driven in 8 inches of snow and my Crosstrek had no problems, Subaru makes great all wheel drive vehicles plus the gas mileage rocks.

Good looking rig. We did a similar trip in our Subaru Impreza wrx several years ago, great places to see.

Great video!!! Love the Subaru...my bf has a WRX so I’m familiar with all the cool mods, stickers you add to your car adding lots of HP😆.....You guys look like you had a awesome time...

We need more of these videos bro. And next time bring that taco out and let’s do Sedona! Trails everywhere!

This was fun to watch. I just got done doing all 5 NPs in Utah in a nearly identical 2018 Crosstrek. The Shafer Trail was lots of fun. I recommend the Weathertech mats! I even have the same orange trim rubber mats and dog cover, lol.

Hey MarchingaOn, I am moving out to Utah in the summer. I own a 2018 Crosstrek. How hard was taking your car down Shafer Trail? Would you recommend any other doable trails?

Love your videos guys keep making more.

I love my 2020 Crosstrek Premium! Thanks for the great review!✌️👍🇺🇸

She juuusssttt fits under the tent hahaha. Looks like a practical but fun ride!

Hello fellow Arkie. Cool Croostek setup. I was just wondering about the load on the roof rack with the roof tent? Any issues with two person? Thanks

Opened video. Ad was playing. Liked the video. Commented. Ad finished. Watched the video. 👍

I swear I read somewhere theres a really light weight limit on the factory bars and rack. Have you guys had any issues yet? I don't see any but was curious! Love this setup! May do it on my '19 XV! Edit: just read 700lbs static, 150lbs if you're driving. Awesome!

Loved your car and the mods, have this question, what are the drawbacks of having the rooftop tent when you drive on the freeway. I have a crosstrek and am planning of going for the same Makita rooftop tent. And yeah, with the new wheels, how much does it affect the fuel efficiency of the car.

Great video As for the retractable ladder. Fully extend the ladder when you deploy it. Then adjust your height starting from the top. I have the same type with my RTT

Rendezvous in the Ozarks put on by Natural State Overland I would highly recommend. Very family friendly event. Past years they had movies and a bonfire. Drive a stock 4x4 no problem. Try Byrds easy trail or some dirt roads close by. Last 2 years my 99 4runner has been stock but my nitto trail tires. Had no problems with easy trail. I would recommend going to the cross and seeing the amazing view! Lots of prize give a ways. Like Grant said check them out to see this years plan. Have a question about it go ahead and ask. It really is a great time for all!

Love the set up! I have a 2019 Crosstrek and I was wondering what dog hammock you have in the back. 👍🌲

ok so whats the best brand for the rain guards. im struggling. A link would help a ton ty

May I ask about the rooftop tent? If the roof rack is rated for 700 pounds, does the tent and gear and a few people start to push the limits of the rack?

Have a Crosstrek and want to thank the both of you for the ideas especially, on the tires and wheels.

Are those crossbars strong enough? Does it flex when there’s a person in the tent?

Is the orange steering wheel badge the same badge as the exterior badges? What is the weight limit capacity for that tent?

Hey guys, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE your setup... SO MUCH, that I kept watching your video on repeat for the last month. What are the wheels dimensions though? (15"" x ??) Thanks!

What kind of dog cover is that? Btw nice crosstrek! I just bought a 2018 premium and I have plans to do a similar setup with the wheel set. And how does the car handle the rooftop tent?

What is your MPG you are getting fully loaded and rigged out?

Looks great even without the lift!

I use my 2021 Trek for overlanding. I never got bit by the roof top tents .. they are still tents! I sleep inside my Trek .. comfortable for one .. pretty snug for two. Mine is lifted 2" with skid plates and 225/65 17" Toyo All Terrains .. just back from a trip to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon where it did nicely. 🤠

Was there any issue with the tires to fit over the calipers ?

How was it driving with the RTT as far as added weight goes? I have an 18 crosstrek and feel like when I load it down with camping gear it can really slow down. Any issue with oil temp increasing on steep inclines? Thanks so much for your videos! Love to see crosstrek adventures!

Hi. With 215/75/15 you can use the stock spare tire?

So I was looking into a crosstrek my self but heard a lot of controversy about the CVT... I heard the newer models have the second version of the transmission so it’ll last longer, does the 2018 have the “version 2” of the CVT? I’d appreciate any advice!
