    Nice build definitely more than I'll ever do! I got the extra large Thule I haggled it from the dealer bout the only kind of discount I could get 😆 I'm waiting for the weather to break so I can put this hitch I got off etrailer on. I also got tints from crux but mine are smoke Black for the rear reflectors. And honestly besides one day upgrading the tires the only other thing I want to do is change out the audio system and add a subwoofer that I can disconnect easily when I want to pack up for a long trip.

If this had Cooper AT3 XLT Tires I’d be happy as a pig in 💩. In deep snow mud mode, I hear if wheel spin speed is over 30mph? It has a hidden mode that just throws mud and snow. Can anyone confirm?

    I have been planning to put in an order for a 2022 WRX and make an off-road build but after stumbling on your channel, I might just go put in an order for an OBW. I test drove an OBW a couple months ago but during the test drive, I didn't feel like the seat was comfortable. The seat part seemed a bit short and didn't provide enough leg support. I heard you say in one of your other videos that you found the seat to be comfortable though. I'm in north Texas and drive up to Colorado to hike/camp about every other month so I need something with a comfortable seat for those long drives. Great content, I've subscribed. Looking forward to seeing what else you do to this.

    It would be nice to have at the least a good stereo system. When I ordered my outback wilderness I said I wanted premium sound . They told me it's not available. I said that's a deal breaker. They came back with we can do an aftermarket Rockford Fosgate speakers and Amp. So I ordered and received my 22 outback wilderness and gues what? They couldn't upgrade anything. So now I listen to what sounds like a transistor radio from the 60s.

    There are some options buried in the system that really help. I don't remember off the top of my head where they are but there are other videos describing them. Definitely makes a bid difference. I'm happy with the audio quality at this point. It would be better to have premium options but you can make it good, if not great.

I like the Gray, as you are right how it blends together well with the cladding, however my current vehicle is that color. Still debating. What do you think?

    I originally wanted white but the gray was immediately available and I'm glad I went with it. Honestly, I like all the colors besides the blue lol. The green might be my favorite. I love the high contrast of the white but I also love the low contrast of the gray. Silver is great too. The only two I'm not super sold on are blue and black (but I'd happily drive either). I'm sure whatever you get will grow on you and you'll fall in love with it.

    I'm not sure what specific models fit but I've seen plenty of them on Instagram with tents mounted. I think you'll be fine with any in terms of weight. I'd just compare the footprint of the tent floor with the width and length of your roof (without obstructing the windshield, the rear hatch in the open position, and however far you want it hang over the sides of the car).

  • @norincofan1949

    @norincofan1949

    2 жыл бұрын

    what do you mean by a "real" 4x4? there are lots of cars with 4x4 branding that are pretty incapable off-road. Companies can decide unilaterally how they designate their 4x4s, so the jeep compass and renegade are labeled 4x4s even though they don't have mechanically locking diffs or a low range. In my experience, Subie's full-time AWD easily beats your typical part-time 4WD with locking diffs and low range in bad on-road conditions. In these situations, you're cruising at speed and worried about mud/snow/ice on the road. Part-time 4WDs can't engage locking diffs and low range at speed and other part-time AWD systems are reactive rather than proactive which means that by the time the AWD engages, you're already in trouble. In off-road conditions it's a mixed bag. Subies aren't built for rock crawling, that's for sure. They'll still beat a lot of older 4x4s on flat trails in mud and snow conditions though because you usually want varying degrees of wheelspin to maximize traction. Overall, the OBW and FW are built to be overlanders, not off-roaders.

  • @OBWAdventures

    It's certainly not an equivalent machine as something like a Jeep Wrangler (which I also own), a Tacoma TRD or other popular "true 4x4" rigs. That being said, it's 100% capable of the sorts of things I want it to do. I'm not really looking to take it on rock crawling trails (even though I have taken it down a "4x4 only" trail in Chattanooga and it performed surprisingly well in situations any stock 4x4 would have been challenged by). I like the look of the car, it's technology, the way it rides, and the "cool factor" of having something different. I see 50 Jeeps and Tacomas/4-Runners every time I leave my house. I've never seen another car like mine in person (and only a handful of stock Wilderness Editions). There's sort of "two kinds of cool" when you think of stuff with practical purposes. The first is the ability to fulfill the purpose itself. Can it do what you want it to do/what it claims to do. The second kind of cool is the intrinsic excitement it offers. Does it make you feel something? For me, this car is a great balance of both kinds of cool. It does what it claims, it does what I want it to do, all while offering me the intrinsic excitement of making me feel something when I look/use it. I have a 4-door Jeep Wrangler with bog knobby tires. It's a better true off-road machine but it isn't nearly as pleasant to be in and it doesn't give me the same sort of daily excitement. The 0.01% of the time I might find myself in a situation it might be better in than my car doesn't justify the other 99.09% of the time my car is better (for me).
