Happy Veterans Day to my favorite Air Force Vet / Car Gal! Nice to see Gump getting some love, and those are definitely some great upgrades. I don't think I've ever seen a Forester without roof rails, but I can understand why you're removing them. After all, you've got the Bronco for any roof hauling needs. Enjoy your weekend and I'm looking forward to continued upgrades on Gump, the Celica and whatever else is in the pipeline!

I always always come back to Sarah when I see Gump. I could never live without my roof rails, but then I remember that Gump isn’t a daily driver. So no roof top tent and there’s other alternatives to getting that Christmas tree back from the tree farm. Can’t wait to see the finished product. It’s been a long journey watching Sarah and Gump come up together.

Totally agree, interior upgrades are very underrated. I know the budget move is just to buy the universal/semi-custom seat covers/ armrest covers from the big sites and stick on trim covers to call it a day. But I've been more impressed at cars and coffees looking at old 50s & 60's cruisers where care has been done to the interior, all the way to the headliner.
