How do you like the forester lowered in the winter I live in Minnesota and Im thinking about getting either a forester or a sport outback but im not sure how dailyable it would be going to the ski hills every weekend.

Love it! I raised it about 2 inches to be able to fit the stock wheels but, I've had no troubles. This thing is a tank in the snow!

Looks good man.
DO you have any audio in it? I saw the double din pic and figured I would ask.

Thanks! I have since ditched the double din since it wasn't compatible with my iPhone 5. I have a 1x12 alpine type r with a ken wood amp. Not going for anything crazy just some extra umpgh!

Thanks, I appreciate it!


Got my seat in on Sunday, I looooove it.

CAn you take pics of your lighting.
How did you run the wiring?
I have 3 led lights. 2 squares with 4 leds and a 24" wide bar.
I wanted to put them on my roof rack.

They previous owner did all that, I left them because they're functional and cool looking.

It seems he just drilled a hole in the roof an ran the wires behind the a pillar plastics. He used a shit ton of clear epoxy to fill the hole. No leaks, no complaints! It's basically hidden by the rack anyways. I'll get some pictures for you.







No real updates except I installed my personal wheel with a works bell hub. I am also getting another set of wheels in the coming weeks, so that should be awesome.

I have 2005 wrx suspension with 3" lowering springs. I think I will try that setup first. Hopefully it doesnt require any extra BS.
