Took our '22 out to explore the Croatan National Forest.
Explored the interior forest roads and towing our trailer, eventually settling on a nice lakeside campsite we had scouted out.
The ol' girl continues to prove capable, we'll be headed west in the upcoming months. Stay tuned
I would like to see your favorite interior accessories.
I am looking for solutions for the following as we are getting ready to drive 1/2 way across the US.
Owala sized cup holders. The few I’ve bought and returned have been the extenders which are great but they can’t get a tight grip in the holder due to the cutout.
Upright holder for my husband’s box mod vape.
Phone holders, open to anything here.
I’ve seen the inserts that go between the seat and console, but as these 2 are flush it doesn’t look like they will work without taking up seat space.
The nets between the front seats won’t work as I have a shepherd and her head usually rests there.
Back seat chime eliminators that allow for us to still belt her in.
Thanks for any help you can provide!
The stock skid plate is almost useless. I was parking on the side of a dirt road, slowly rolled into and onto a rock. No resistance, ripped out one bolt and tore some tabs out. (Left side)
I just replaced it and once I took it off, I bent it with my hand.
Just installed this, did it solo. Took about an hour.
If doing it solo, start the back bolts first.
At the front, it didn’t seem like it would fit if it was over the front bumper. I ended up lapping it over the back lip of the front bumper and cutting off a couple tabs to get it flush.
Also, there’s these side tabs, it lines up with the wheel well tabs. The tabs don’t work with the 1/4” aluminum. Thinking of zip tying them?
I used the Simply Auto app and tracked expenses for my 2025 Subaru Forester Wildness. All fuel expenses are in their own category. Service expenses (4 oil changes and tire rotations including the 1st free one) are listed as service. Other expenses include down payment, monthly car payment, 1 Year of insurance, tolls and car washes. Not sure if this information will help anyone or if it lines up with others. Yes, I know I can save money doing my own service but that's not the point of this.
I had a trans flush at 30k I’m at 40k now, I was towing a motorcycle with an enclosed trailer so maybe like 1200lbs if that? Closer to 1000… but why under acceleration I was barely hearing a whining noise that aligned with my revs (so it couldn’t be the wheel bearings? Could it?)
No lights on dash… 2023 wildo
