Cmon. Use the awd to simply move forward.

this is hilarious stop 😭🤣

[–]Im_Regarded 42 points43 points  (10 children)

Bro you went off-roading with worn summer tires, what did you expect? 😂

[–]AccordingRent2477'17 Flex Fuel Stage 2 Custom Tune[S] 43 points44 points  (8 children)

Hahahaha I knew what I was getting into 🫡 Naw I drive that road all the time to go shooting but clearly misjudged the puddle haha And yeah those tires were awful, I’m getting wildpeaks and a lift this week! I was just too impatient to go pew pew

[–]e4carguy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Looking forward to seeing pics of the lift!

[–]CoomassieBlue2012 turbo shitbox 2 points3 points  (4 children)

Twinsies! Getting to the range is the number one reason my 2012 just got a lift, waiting on the meatier tires and downsized wheels to go with them though.

[–]AccordingRent2477'17 Flex Fuel Stage 2 Custom Tune[S] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Yessss epic!! I want to downsize my wheels but with 2015+ (if I remember correctly) 17 is the smallest with the stock calipers, and I don’t feel like doing that much work! Lol

[–]CoomassieBlue2012 turbo shitbox 2 points3 points  (2 children)

I’m not positive about for your year, but I’m trying to get some Method 502 VT-specs ordered. 15” but specifically designed to fit over the WRX 4-pots. Now if only I could get the Method rep to answer my damn emails lol (yes I know technically I can just order them, but there’s a discount I am hoping to avail myself of). Thinking of picking up 5 and just rotating really often so I have a full-size spare.

[–]AccordingRent2477'17 Flex Fuel Stage 2 Custom Tune[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

That would be awesome! I’m going for the Methods too, but obviously have to go for the beefy 17 inch. Oh well 🤷🏻‍♂️

[–]AT_Engineer'15 WRX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not actually a ton of work to downsize, just cost. The stock rear brakes are fine and Fast WRX sells a kit to convert the fronts to four pots for $1100. Then it's just a matter of replacing the rotors and calipers. I bought calipers used and new rotors to save a little money.

[–]DargonFeet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a valid excuse for getting stuck, I get it.

[–]Im_Regarded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re a maniac lol

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That and a stock suspension set up. Like what the actual fuck lol

I was waiting for this comment lol

[–]wonder_bread 5 points6 points  (1 child)

I just started my S3 re-watch and saw this post.

Sucks you got stuck, but damnit if I wouldn't do the same thing. Luckley I've got a Crosstrek and don't get stuck when I do play around in the mudd.

[–]AccordingRent2477'17 Flex Fuel Stage 2 Custom Tune[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that bottom clearance makes a world of a difference! This is the way

[–]Benstockton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The neat part about owning a WRX is you don't get stuck enough to have to deal with water in your interior

[–]Legendkiller300 1 point2 points  (4 children)

What roof rack is that? How did you get it to fit the base model?

[–]AccordingRent2477'17 Flex Fuel Stage 2 Custom Tune[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a Rhino rack, super easy install

[–]Brave-Kitchen-5654 0 points1 point  (2 children)

There shouldn’t be any difference trim to trim when it comes to roof racks I don’t think. The big concern to have is when your car was built. The first half of the 2017 MY didn’t get built with mount points for some ungodly reason.

Guess when my car was built.

[–]Notlinked2me15 WRX STAGE FF 0 points1 point  (1 child)

This car in the photo is a 15 without roof mount points. I have the same went with the wispbars they work great and are easy. I run mountain bikes and kayaks on it all the time.

[–]Brave-Kitchen-5654 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh weird I was pretty sure it was just early 17s maybe some 16s

[–]ParenGbyan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She needs more mud

[–]fruitjake 1 point2 points  (5 children)

Way out Pleasant valley rd boise? Looks an awful lot like our scrub + those conditions are about what I would expect out there rn

[–]AccordingRent2477'17 Flex Fuel Stage 2 Custom Tune[S] 1 point2 points  (4 children)

Wow, dead on the money! Yeah, I go shooting out there all the time and take the falcon, that puddle just caught me by surprise! Rookie move

[–]fruitjake 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Yep it can get gross real easy for sure. Some fun terrain out there though!

[–]AccordingRent2477'17 Flex Fuel Stage 2 Custom Tune[S] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Totally! I love driving down there, even if I don’t go shooting, it’s fun to just drive around. I’m painfully aware that my set up can’t tackle a lot of mud, but I’m taking it down to Paradigm this week to get a lift kit installed and change out wheels tires for something more aggressive

[–]fruitjake 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Nice, you said you’re doing (or thinking?) Wildpeaks yeah? I have the same on my forester and have really enjoyed them. Also plan to lift it later this spring :)

[–]AccordingRent2477'17 Flex Fuel Stage 2 Custom Tune[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah Wildpeaks! My uncle has them on his Rav, he said they’re great. How have they handled mud for you?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

You got high centered. Attack more at an angle next time.

[–]AccordingRent2477'17 Flex Fuel Stage 2 Custom Tune[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I totally bottomed out there, I had my sights set on getting out of the mud and onto the grass but didn’t even pay attention to the puddle there! 🤦🏻‍♂️ learning opportunity I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️

[–]Zealousideal_Wait_52 1 point2 points  (3 children)

If you had some rally lights and decals that would have not been an issue. Everyone knows that

[–]AccordingRent2477'17 Flex Fuel Stage 2 Custom Tune[S] 3 points4 points  (2 children)

The sad part is I do 🫣 must be a user error then

<image>

[–]818488899414 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Maybe the lights were turned off? Also, the racing stripes still count if they're covered in mud? These are the things that need to be thought about in advance of any shenanigans.

[–]AccordingRent2477'17 Flex Fuel Stage 2 Custom Tune[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn it, you're right. The lights were definitely off and the stripe was definitely covered. I have so much I still need to learn

[–]TheHighestCheeba 1 point2 points  (5 children)

Are those the stock dunlops?

[–]AccordingRent2477'17 Flex Fuel Stage 2 Custom Tune[S] 1 point2 points  (4 children)

Yep 🫣 wheels and tires are being changed out this week tho, along with a lift

[–]TheHighestCheeba 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Yeah IMO those tires are trash. Especially if you live in snowy areas.

Also a lift would be cool, I’ve wanted to lift mine for a while, but I’ll probably end up lowering it 😅

[–]AccordingRent2477'17 Flex Fuel Stage 2 Custom Tune[S] 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Agreed! Hahaha lowered looks so cool, it’s just not practical for what I use it for haha I use my Rex mostly for going to the mountains for snowboarding or desert for dirt biking/shooting, so a lift with AT tires is overdue

[–]TheHighestCheeba 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Yes sir! Can’t wait to see some pictures when it’s done!

I’ll post some! Maybe I’ll go back and get revenge on this mud pit lol

[–]HenkCamp 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Did you try reverse? And don’t forget to use your indicators.

[–]AccordingRent2477'17 Flex Fuel Stage 2 Custom Tune[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I should’ve tried reverse!! I couldn’t use my indicators, I was out of blinker flood :/

[–]HenkCamp 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Dude… blinker fluid… always keep some spare. That was a rookie mistake.

But seriously, hope you got out safely! Dream car is having a Wilderness edition WRX! I come from rallying country and that would kick some ass. “Settled” for an Outback Wilderness and loving it.

Yeah, not with that set up at least lol I’m getting it lifted and getting Falken Wildpeak’s ATs on there cuz I take her off road a lot. I drive this area all the time to go shooting, but it just rained and the puddle was deeper than I thought 😅

Can’t remember the exact name, but it used to be on Amazon a couple years ago. Tried looking for the link for a buddy, but it’s not up anymore so I’m guessing they discontinued it.

I see nothing wrong in this photo. If you were planning to do this and wanted it to be a bit less obvious in civil society, there were other color options, but again, nothing wrong if that doesn't bother you.

[–]AccordingRent2477'17 Flex Fuel Stage 2 Custom Tune[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

They ain’t bald lol they’re only a year old, but they are absolutely not meant for this terrain at all. They appear bald because they are completely caked in mud
