Here is my beloved 4th Gen Outback. I bought it new back in 2013 and now it is 93k. I have done a nice blend of OEM accessories and aftermarket ones.

Nice looking rig, what wheels and front accessories have you installed?

Thank you. Mine is a SAP.

In terms of my wheels, they are iCW Racing wheels with Yokomama Geolandar G015 A/Ts on. As for the front accessories, I have a tow hitch, 2 skid plates from Rallitek, my fogs have yellow film on them, Rally Innovations bar with Diode Dynamics light pods on it, on the hood, I have my antenna for my ham radio. When I took the picture, I didn't have it attached to its base. Here is a side profile of my vehicle.

I spy an Overland Bound badge. #864 here. Sweet OB

Thank you. 😊 Good eye! #22508. Yours is a nice one as well.

I am curious about the Yokomama tires....

My Geolandars have been good tires. They are relatively quiet and do not take much gas mileage away from the vehicle even though the car is lifted 1.5". They have handled dirt, rock, sand, snow, rain, and pavement with ease. They are on the milder side of being aggressive looking.

This was done a month ago during a professional photoshoot by a very talented friend of mine and my Outback was extremely clean for it.

At the end of last week, my area received 11" of snow. I drove in the conditions with my Nomads and did rather well. I could possibly put my winter tires and OEM wheels if I would like to. My Legacy is going to get its snow tires on tomorrow.

I have never thought of storing wheels like that before... Definitely going to steal that idea.

Feel free to steal this unique idea. It came about due to having a small 2-car garage and it was difficult to get a lot in there. My 2 Subarus fit in there like a glove. I put shelves above the cars to store overlanding/camping gear then I had to figure out the tires. The rack is on wheels so that I can pull it out when I am doing my swaps. Above it is a long work bench.

^^ Great idea and very efficient use of limited storage space.

Thank you.

In my previous home, I could just stack them in a corner but the garage was larger. With this one, I had to get creative. To give one some idea on how tight the garage is...

I literally have no room for error.

My car was named Basalt due to her color, my geologist at heart, and she has been solid as a rock. Here she is at Red Rocks.

My New Year's was rather quiet while dealing with 3 snow storms.
