Hello Scott, Thank you for your videos! My wife and I just purchased a 2020 Subaru Outback Premier and we're are also planning to purchase an iKamper Skycamper for 4 people. You mentioned in this video not to use the stock cross bars that come with the outback. What would you reccomend? Pinsu rack? Rhino rack? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Again...great videos!

Great video! I currently have a 2007 Toyota FJ. This is a very capable vehicle. I sometimes think of something that gets better gas economy, but I can drive a lot for what it would cost to replace it. I also really like the reliability of the FJ. A lot of improvement in the last few years. I also think about a Sprinter van. My hard core travels are pretty much over as I get older and am more into overland travel now. Thanks for another great video.😘👍

@4XPEDITION 4 жыл бұрын
Hi Robert! I was just down at Canyon Ranch and looked for you. You used to be there, right? Or am I thinking of someone else? The FJ is a great truck. Too bad they discontinued it. The sprinter van makes a ton of sense. Especially if it is off-road capable. One of the best things about an adventure van is the comforts in rain situations and the ability to stay in it anywhere. Even in a city.

I know I am a year late but you put the last nail in the coffin for me. The new 2022 Wilderness will be my next purchase. You outlined all the things I was concerned about with the outback and added the amazing addition of the tent. The Wilderness comes with a little less MPG and a little more clearance but I think it will be perfect. I didn't even think to add a wheel rack to the back to make more space inside so that was also amazing. Only thing I would add in addition to the light bar is a winch. Thank you so much. Weird side note, this is my second comment on youtube in years. SUBED and looking forward to more videos.

Hi Scott, Great video. I am moving to Las Vegas next week (from Chicago), and am looking forward to spending more time in nature, I love the idea of car camping, and have just begun researching what car to buy. It sounds like a used Subaru Outback (Touring Trim) is the way to go. I am looking forward to continuing the research. Thanks.

You are going to love the west. Don’t get me wrong I love Chicago, but, the vast, wide open spaces of the west are unbeatable. I grew up in Wisconsin. I’ve been out this way for 30 years. Lots of amazing things right around Vegas actually...Lake Mead, Red Rock Canyon, Great Basin National Park, Grand Canyon NP...watch my video about Canoeing Black Canyon which is right there. Amazing. Good luck and thanks for watching! ( and the Outback will suit your needs well!)

I have to 2018 touring that comes with the Thule roof rack. Subaru told me the roof tent was supported/certified with this version and rack. I also like the fact I can remove the roof rack easily when I don’t need it, it gives the outback a little different look then all others with those black bars. I never did like the black bars on my older outback.

You be quite happy with your Outback. They’re AWESOME vehicles. We Love our 19. My wife uses it as her commuter car and we use it as our road trip vehicle. We live in north central WA state up in the mountains and get 5-6 feet of snow every winter. We live on a private road which we have to plow and maintain. We live 5 miles from a small town and our county road is the last to get plowed, so often times we’re driving over roads with at least a foot of snow. We’ve Never had any problems with our Outback. I’ve got my Rav 4WD stuck once and had to call my wife to bring the Outback to pull me out. When my Rav wears out, we’ll replace it with a Forester Touring. Enjoy your new Outback !

I’m now in the market to choose my rooftop tent and I have found a few videos that share pros and cons of several, but I like the personal testimonial like you gave. I find that more helpful than a generic list of stats like I found in those other videos. Thanks again!

Hi there Andrew. I think that a setup like this is quite good for taking little ones. If you can set up an "overland" type backcountry base camp where you have water, comfort, cooking easy to set up and take down and an awning so you are out of the sun with a playpen and if it rains it isn't a pain I think you would love it. Thanks for checking in and letting me know you've been inspired.

I love the brush guard, LED lite bar, and fog lites on your OB as it looks nearly factory installed. Deer are a major hazard where my daughter lives in rural Northeastern Kentucky and I’m going to check out LP Adventures to see what they have. Update: Unfortunately, LP Adventures doesn’t have the brush guard and skid plate for my 2012 Subaru Outback. Fortunately, my son-in-law bought and installed regular and high beam Hikari headlights on Ruby, and it’s made a huge difference at night.

Thank you so much for such a thorough introduction video and putting it straight forward that the BF Goodrich tires are very loud on highway. I'd like to know quiet alternatives to BF A/T tires for a 5,000-mile road trip that consists of 90% highway and 10% gravel road.

To be honest the factory tires are ideal for highway and if you are just going down mild dirt roads, the subaru from factory is equipped for this. However, you might consider bringing a full-sized spare tire instead of the smaller spare they put under the rear cargo area. If you get a yakima roof tray you can put it up there.

I just found your channel! We just purchased a 22 Outback wilderness and will be taking it to Big Bend in October. We also had jeeps, campers, etc. We then got into race cars and stopped all off road fun. We miss it and decided to get the Subarau, I did not want another jeep, not fun on the interstate. I am looking forward to watching your videos and learning! It has been a few years since we camped! We still have the race cars, but they can stay in the garage.😅

I really appreciate that you shared your concerns about the Outback's factory installed racks, and that after market Yakima solutions are absolutely necessary to make this car practical for outdoor enthusiasts. As a kayaker, I wanted to transport 2 sit on top kayaks, and I bought a 2019 Outback not appreciating this important detail. The factory bars are fairly useless if you want to transport two kayaks. With all of the extra parts you need to buy separately, including bars, landing pads, towers, etc, the investment in the Yakima set up is around $400. I love the car in every other respect, but this aspect is a bum note for sure. I appreciated your honesty about this and subscribed on that basis. There's very little info out there about this issue, so your review is valued.

For your next tire, you may want to consider Yokohama Geolander G015's. I have never been so impressed by a tire. They are just as quiet as the stock tires (although I did consider the stock tires to be loud for a passenger tire). I've been in frame deep ruts (im lifted), two foot of snow (these AT tires are snow rated), and driven thousand of miles at 75 mph on the highway. I will definitely be purchasing these tires again and will get some for my wifes outback when she gets it. I still average 28mpg. Although I just have the 4 cylinder.

Tires are louder on Outback because it is an unibody construction so the sounds from wheels resonate "better" through the entire vehicle. Body on frame vehicles have a certain level of separation between cabin and axles.

Hey there Derek! Thanks for checking in and also for introducing yourself. Interesting you should ask, I commented on another viewer's question on that just a bit ago. I did have one issue. (What I said there: I will say there was one time on the Engineers Pass trip on that road I mentioned that I think the computer system got squirrely. I was basically crawling over a loose rock pile after about an hour of traversing down a rough road. I stopped the car to get out and assess the route and when I got back in and put it in drive and stepped on the gas pedal nothing happened. Not even an engine rev. That has only happened once.) Hope that helps.

Just picked up a 2017 3.6R Touring in amazing condition with low miles. Awesome video and very informative. I've been looking at many of the parts shown here and I really do want to drive the car the way I know it's capable of but idk if I can bring myself to do it because it's so nice. Lol. For my first mod I'm mostly interested in a front bar with lights for my snowy and foggy commutes to my job that closes for nothing. I can't decide between the one you have or the Rally Innovations bar. I really want the amber Baja Designs lights for the fog and snow and I probably won't be driving on rocky cliff edges anytime soon so maybe the Rally Innovations is enough for now.

RTX really isn't my first choice for lighting anymore. There are a lot of great brands now since I bought mine. What will happen is, once you decide to take it on the dirt, you will likely want some underside armor. i.e. skid plates...especially if you don't lift your vehicle.

I was in the Silverton, CO area this past summer and was about to go and do Cinnamon Pass and Engineer Pass in my '06 Outback when a guy in an ATV talked me out of it. He said some of the swales were pretty steep, so I turned around and went back. I did notice about 90% of the vehicles coming through were ATV's... the rest were Jeeps with an occasional SUV. Be careful where you take your Outback....
