Looks great! I just brought a 2012 Outback. Im in the Tampa area. I have a question? Do you have any suggestions of where I can take it to get serviced? And if I have to take it to the dealer which is the better one? Thanks in advanced.

 

HOWDY! I do my own maintenance. But when time comes for specific maintenance to be performed like "CVT drain and fill service" and Recalls. I use Subaru of Melbourne.

 

howdy!
I'm FL4TOUT772 from Instagram
bought a 2021 OUTBACK ONYX XT and doing a build in St. Lucie County, FLORIDA.
previously had a LIFTED 2015 OUTBACK 2.5i premium "almost 4inch lift"
threw in some parts over the new outback.

RPF1 with AT3W 245/65r17 NO Rub and NO Lift.
rePainted my Rhino rack Pioneer platform All Black.
mounted my Sunseeker awning 6.5ft.
Installed Baja Designs s2 sports.
Installed my 2015 ADF ditch light brackets. FITS almost perfect, had to bend the driver side bracket away from the wiper arm.
Bought/Installed a Trailer hitch from curt and mounts in 20mins. $150
added my 1UP HD bike rack.

Future plans:

Install my custom secondary battery for my Dometic CF3X 45L fridge with solar panel 100watt. works great!
SSD light bar bracket or Rally innovation Bull bar to mount my old Baja Designs LP6 and a old set of XL-r.
Nameless Catback exhaust with 5inch mufflers.
Primitive Racing 3 piece skidplates
I will not do a lift but I'll do Raised Springs 1F/1.5R from Primitive Racing
POSSIBLY do a COBB tune "stage 1 93+ or stage 0 93+"

Good lookin subie. I have the same ditch light brackets from adf. What lights did you go with for those? I also installed a rally innovations bull bar for my KC lights and it fits great and it's solid.

 

THANKS! I'm using my old Baja designs S2 pro's Amber wide cornering. I'd like to see your Rally innovation Bull bar setup!

 

Window tinted!

 

Very nice so far. Where will you mount the solar panel?

 

I had it mounted onto my rhino rack pioneer before. I made custom brackets to slide on the channel system.

 

Mods!

 

why did you take the braces off?

Installed my fridge with a secondary Battery system from my previous outback build.

 

Went to a Laser Light show

 

huge difference on handling in cornering!

 

installed SSD lightbar bracket with my old BD LP6 lights.

 

I’d like to put LP6s on the front of my OBW. Do you know or can you estimate if they had a significant impact on mileage. Noise?

I do a lot of long trips on the hiway to adventures. Would like to preserve fuel mileage as best I can.

What dimensions are your rhino rack? Looking to drop one on top of my 21 XT as well.

Good looking rig dude!

 

Track day. Quarter mile 15.7 secs at 88mph with head wind. Still heavy. No spare tire in it. Full tank of 93. Next run, will be no roof rack system and quarter tank of fuel.

 

Joel,
Does the Rhino Rack attach to the factory rails without any modifications?

From what I can gather it will attach to the factory crossbars when you swing them across to "deploy" them.

 

Why not two?

 

Radar and Dashcam 😏

 

Some goodies

 

Installed my old solar panel setup.

 

😊

 

Catback and dual mufflers axleback.

 

What size and model is your Pioneer rack? Looks to be the universal SX.

How are you liking the rack? Any cons to the crossbar mounting?

 

It’s just a regular old poineer platform model that I rePainted and sold it last week. Part number 42115BF from rhino rack. Once you put weigh on it and drive it on rough roads, the edges bounces and makes noise. It is what it is.

 

dig the ssd performance light bar, so subtle.

 

Installed Thule Vector Alpine, Hideaway Awning and beefied up the wimpy roof rack system.
