SUBARU X-MODE vs. LOCKER vs. LSD vs. OPEN
I'd love to hear what you think in the comments. Here are my thoughts:
If you don't have X-Mode, then you need a rear Torq locker.
If you do have X-Mode, then I don't think that you need a rear locker.
However, I plan to add a rear locker AFTER I gain the
ability to manually control the center clutch.
Newer Subarus should be able to do a version of
the classic "SG Forester center diff lock mod"
More about this in my next video!

Flex Testing a Forester Wilderness with and without Sway Bars
Просмотров 2,8 тыс.7 месяцев назад
Swaybars are for race cars. They stiffen the suspension and reduce body roll in high speed corners by physically linking the left and right suspension to move up and down together. There's one swaybar for the front and one for the rear. For off roading, they are a massive hinderance! When the swaybar end-links are removed, each wheel can move up and down COMPLETELY independently, better conform...

    Work at a suby dealer. Saw a stock 2019 outback in the other day with 245/65/17 wildpeak at trails on it. Looked cool but those things would definitely rub from the looks of it going into any rough terrain. But, maybe not. Who knows. Might be just fine. That car needed a lift. Plus thos falken wildpeak at trail tires are extremely heavy for their size. I’m sure that 4 cylinder outback took a hit in gas mileage. Probably some tire shop put them on for the customer. I guarantee the dealership would have highly recommended against putting those tires on that car. If the spare no longer matches they usually won’t do it. In fact we will shave new tires to match your existing tires if you need just one or two replaced.

    Very nicely explained. I'm not sure why you started with a Subaru though. It's engine hangs out entirely ahead of the front axle line making for a limited approach angle. Also, a CVT doesn't seem ideal for off-roading.

  • @JoshG-ye7ug
    @JoshG-ye7ug 18 дней назад

    How does the load weight rating relate to your wheel (rim) choice? I assume the OE "snowflake pattern" (Enkie made) rim rating/strength is well above what Subaru thinks is good and safe for average driving conditions (presumably the manufacturer specification for whatever the OE rim load rating is, corresponds to the vehicle weight / 4, plus some margin for max. recommended passenger/cargo load, safety with common road hazards such as potholes, etc.). I've not been able to find what the later generations Forester OE wheel specifications in this regard are, or Subaru's metrics for that... So it's hard to have a baseline for this consideration, aside from just anecdotal evidence of what kind and models of rims are commonly used for offroad Subaru builds, professional and otherwise. Often a lighter rim means less strength, at least until considering true forged alloys. Presumably a good tire with a taller profile on a smaller rim mitigates somewhat any valid concern about rim strength for offroading. Still, it'd be good for the average Subaru owner looking for real offroad capability upgrades to know this kind of thing. Reducing unsprung weight is great for performance and wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, but even a high quality light street performance rim may come at a real cost in terms of reliability for anything more than light offroad use.

    I love seeing the progression of Subarus off road. When I first started doing it, it was with ea81s and 13 inch tires. My first time with a group of Subarus at Evans Creek was in 1997, an 85 GL wagon on 185/70/13s. We had no lockers, no LSDs. Lifts came from Australia at first. We figured out how to swap in the LSDs from the RXs and things got easier. Ahh those were the days. Lots of pics and vids. :). ruclips.net/video/ieE9Hb-B_qo/видео.html

    Guys, I have a question and it would be a massive favour if you could shed some light on this for me. I'm about to upgrade my 2012 Suzuki Grand Vitara wheels and tyres for offroad but standard wheels range from 16in - 18in. Some of you guys have 15in wheels which is what I'd love to have. I looked up the 2014 2.5L Outback specs and noticed that standard wheels are either 17in or 18in. How do you guys make 15in wheels fit so that you can get that sweet sweet sidewall thiccness?! Please share your secrets lol

    • @slt_trek
      @slt_trek 20 дней назад

      It mostly just depends on brake caliper clearance. I’m the blue trek and stick rims were 17s, but because my brake calipers were small enough I was able to downsize to 15s. I’ve heard from some newer Outback owners that you can run wheel spacers to help drop to smaller rims too (some have 16s as opposed to 17s)
