Thanks mate 👍🏼

Thanks mate, glad you like it!

🚙💨 Yep they've done a good job 👍🏻

Haha thanks mate! It's a good little all rounder... Good at everything but not the best at any one thing in particular 👍🏻🚙💨

Thankyou! 🚙💨

Haha 😂 I'll try my best to keep it the right way up 👍🏼

You'll love it mate👌🏻🚙💨

His just running one these days 👍🏼 thanks mate 😁

@@MontyScott lol. I have my own project going. I have a Venetian red 2014 crosstrek that I've modified. So far I have a 1.5 inch lift, racing wheels, roof rack. It's coming along.

Thanks man, it's a 2012 S-edition Forester 👍🏻

Hey mate, thanks for the compliment! You can fit the 215/65r16 tyres without modifying anything. If you go the 225/70r16 you may need to reshape the guard liners slightly. Cheers

​@@MontyScott Thanks for the advice Monty! Much appreciated, keep up with the vids, awesome stuff! :)

No worries mate, it's a pleasure. Thanks, will do 👍🏼 cheers

Thanks mate I appreciate it! Yeah you should be able to get a very similar sound but my set-up is made up from two manufactures off the shelf parts combined together... I have an Invidia dump matched up with an Australian made HiTech Mufflers cat back so its quiet unique! I used to have a manual SH XT before this one, but this being the S-edition is only available in a 5EAT with paddle shift. Cheers

I've got the same and had the same question, it sounds so mean

Haha that's great mate, glad you found something to watch while camping! Yeah man I'm happy I got an XT but it does come with comprises... Thanks for checking out the videos 👍🏼

Thanks mate, no roof rack installed but I do I have Thule cross bars. I took the rails off the bottom of the tent that it came with and bolted some Thule cross bars directly to the tent and they have quick release feet on them so it's easy to take the whole lot on and off the car 👍🏼

Sweet deal man! Thats a great idea, thanks for the info @@MontyScott

No worries 👍🏼

how much weight to factory bars can hold?

Hey mate, on my SH Forester I think it's rated for 68kg while driving so when you're parked up you can load it up probably with 3-4 times that weight without it being a problem... Just don't go driving around with that much weight up there 😂

Yeah I always enjoy hearing the turbo spool up 👌🏼 my grill is actually factory like that on the S-edition. But any Subaru is a good one 👊🏼

I just bought a 2011 Forester. I chose it, because it has a timing chain, not belt.

Thanks mate, not sure when I'll be out there next but hopefully soon!

@@MontyScott Need to put together a day trip for Subaru's and other stock 4x4 & SUV's. Most 4x4 convoys only aim for double black tracks with max damage...

Thanks, the mods I have are listed in the video description above (just click on the SHOW MORE link). Essentially just basic bolt on mods with a dyno tune to get the most out of it. Cheers

Cheers mate, it's running an invidia dump/down pipe and a Hitech mufflers car back system 👍🏻

Hi there, I have no problems with mine mounted on the car. The 68 kg is a rating that takes in to account all the added stress related to driving while loaded. So when the car is parked and the load is static the rating can be multiplied 3-4 times so I have been told by a roof rack company. Cheers

Thank for the information. Cheers

No problem!

That's a hard question to answer, I love my Forester but it depends on what you will be mostly doing with your rig. If its your second car and its going to be mostly offroad use I would say Landcruiser over Prado and Prado over Forester... but I am very impressed with what the forester can do and think its an amazing all rounder and is my first choice as a all in one type of vehicle as its better in other areas like daily and spirited driving than the other two (imho). Good luck with whatever you choose! Cheers

Thanks mate, I'm just running the factory setup bolted to a process west intercooler 👍🏻

Thanks mate, I appreciate it! The XT is my car and I've listed the mods in the video description. Essentially it's a few basic bolt on mods and dyno tune. There is more content on my channel and in both of my most recent two videos I have a 2 inch lift and new bigger tyres👌🏼

It's been a long time but I would like to go back there one day 👌🏼

Hey mate, I've only just seen this comment now! I hope you get all the inspiration you needed 👍🏻 they're great little cars!

@@MontyScott i want to buy this car bcause the AWD and horsepower on this car, like a lil monster 😂

It's a good combination 😁👍🏻🚙💨

Hey mate mod list is in the video description but back then I just had the wheels and tyres with no lift and on that particular setup I didn't get any rub 👍🏻

I've got most of my mods listed in the description of my videos 👍🏻

Thanks man, there is all sorts of trees in the video but being Australia mostly Gum trees that you'll see when you go out bush as we say 👍🏻

Monty Scott cool!! I’ve been in the bush here but I’m in the Southwest so desert and pine/aspen trees out here. Be safe! I did a skid plate install video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l9mTmN2Q0OCziZ8.html

Thanks mate, gotta have a decent exhaust on a subie 👍🏼

well that was a quick answer i am byeing a 2011 forester tomorow no turbo are they are as good as they were back in the eighty bullet proof i hope so 👍👍

Haha sometimes I see notifications at the right time and get on to them straight away and sometimes I completely miss them! Congratulations, that's exciting. I wouldn't call them bulletproof but if you change the oil regularly and keep an eye on it to make sure it's always at the correct level the engines should go for a long time! I've had 9 different Subaru's and have a pretty good track record with reliability 👍🏼

@@MontyScott thanks for that

No worries, you're welcome.

Hey mate it's from a local company in Melbourne called BNL outdoors and mine about 60kg or a little less without the optional annex👍🏻

I couldn't tell you specific tracks because this was a fair while ago but if you head out of Warburton heading east we took some track off the main road just after you cross the Yarra. There is a huge network of tracks out there 👍🏼

Hey mate, in this video I didn't have a lift kit installed I just had a set of A/T tyres on Toyota GT 86 wheels. In my newer videos I have a 2 inch subieliftoz kit fitted and you can see the difference along with bigger tyres 👌🏼 cheers

This one is a 5eat, the next generation xt (2013 onwards) are cvt 👍🏼

Hey mate, I get around 12-13 litres per 100km or around 18-20 mpg. Lift, A/T tyres and tent all add extra drag plus I have a few bolt on mods with a pro tune and I have a bit of a heavy right foot so that consumption goes up around town!

@@MontyScott great info. Still sounds better to trek in than a jeep!

Yeah man, it's great! I live it👍🏼

Hey mate, it's a 2012 S-edition which is the last yeah for this generation 👍🏻

Hey mate, yep I've got a few mods 😁 check out the details in the description 👍🏻

Not yet... It's on the cards though 👍🏻

@@MontyScott share some vids when you install it. I’m planning to get one too

I wouldn't complain but I think the stance boys mightn't be happy 😂

One born everyday......................

She's not ruined, just well loved 😜🚙💨

@@MontyScott beating the heck out of it is a funny way to show love . I guess I feel very lucky to just have a nice Subaru . Mine has to last . I am not a good vehicle mechanic , I am on a fixed income and I can't afford high cost repairs . It's fun to watch people who can afford to do this put the vehicle through it's paces . I would never know the capabilities of these cars if someone didn't show it , so it works for me ...

Haha it's all good and still going strong! The key is good maintenance 👍🏻

@@MontyScott I respectfully disagree. Although good maintenance is important, you still don't want to abuse a car. Changing the oil regularily [etc.] is important, but over-revving, peeling rubber, slamming on the brakes and other things are not ameliorated by good maintenance.

That's ok, I was only having a bit of fun. You're right, although I'm not sure if I'd classify it as abuse. I do however enjoy driving with a bit of enthusiasm and if that means my car doesn't last as long I'm happy to pay that price. I see all the mechanical components of a car as a consumable, no car will last forever and depending on how you use it then you may need to replace items more frequently and that is also what I would consider maintenance 👍🏻 Cheers

@@MontyScott Thanks, Monty.

No worries, have a good one👍🏻
