I did 90% of this work in my driveway. I DD this truck. It's loud, it rattles, the heim joints are noisy, but off road this is one of the most capable Subarus built.

I have about $12k into it just parts. This is my vision of 25 years of Subaru experience culminated into 1 ride.

She's crossed the Mojave road, explored the Sierras, driven to AZ, UT, and Nv. I've been to mammoth, and explored every desert CA has to offer. She's been bogged in mud, in 130° temps, in snow, you name it. I've recovered jeeps, full size trucks and cars. I've lived out of it for as long as 2 months. She don't do anything exceptionally well, but she can do anything.

Thanks to ADF, Subiworks, and all the people across the globe who continually help me source parts.

That’s a really nice build. Looks like a lot of fun to take overlanding.
