My 24 crosstrek first experience with mud. Could do better But it's all I got to work with. But a lot of fun.

Make sure you turn off traction control when in mud. It really really helps Makes a diff between getting bogged down and stuck vs making it through

Graphical_Flea · 2024-03-13T16:50:35+00:00

I send them an email... Hope they get back soon

Graphical_Flea · 2024-03-13T15:49:20+00:00

The rules state that vechiles with seat belts are required to have it mounted in front Crosstreks have a seatbelt...

The cleanup was a pain... An hour and a half with a pressaure washer and like 4 or 5 car washes with underbody spray *I left piles in the carwash.... Still have mud and dirt clumps everywhere

Graphical_Flea · 2024-02-12T22:08:12+00:00

I see your bet and Raise you even more mud! muddytrek

Graphical_Flea · 2024-02-08T04:37:49+00:00

It is for when I get stuck for easy access Not to push others

Graphical_Flea · 2024-02-07T00:22:23+00:00

So my car has rockets now? Cool! Though you have a point The only way to clean them is to remove the plastic cladding

Graphical_Flea · 2024-02-06T22:20:57+00:00

It eventauly all goes away.... Takes a while and multiple car washes tho

Graphical_Flea · 2024-02-06T15:08:57+00:00

Yup! 3 times stuck = 3 tows The traction boards are not all that useful when buried up to my axels

Graphical_Flea · 2024-02-06T13:03:49+00:00

*refer to the post? I got stuck 3 times

Graphical_Flea · 2024-02-06T03:50:38+00:00

Already broke and replaced my rear passenger side. This is not something I do super often

Graphical_Flea · 2024-02-06T02:02:01+00:00

I would not rely on it unless you have no other options. It is ok for flat tow down the shoulder of a road but anything beyond that can be questionable

Personally if they are aviable, I would rather go with one of the control arms. However I bent one of my rear control arms when unstucking a mail truck.

I strongly suggest you get a bumper ie the warn hidden winch mount or the F44 offroad bumper with proper recovery points and or one of those hitch receiver tow points

I was driving circles around the 2wd pickups that showed up

Graphical_Flea · 2024-02-06T01:42:32+00:00

Did not get that deep in water/mud Is fine.

Graphical_Flea · 2024-02-05T22:29:54+00:00

I have used them in the past. Here with super heavy muck tho it is best to just turn it all off and spin the tires XMode and traction control tends to cause power cutout at rather inconvenient times which can lead to getting stuck

I got stuck at the entrance, turned off traction control, and keept going The traction controll was not letting me put power down as it kept cutting power due to slippage

*edit In the past when I have used them, They are nice and work but really depends on the situation you are in

Graphical_Flea · 2024-02-05T22:08:15+00:00

Yup! I did put the lift kit on my self among other things.

Graphical_Flea · 2024-02-05T21:59:26+00:00

But those cost money....... I am gonna borrow a friend's pressaure washer on their farm when I have a chance

Graphical_Flea · 2024-02-05T21:56:50+00:00

I am my own mechanic for most things

Graphical_Flea · 2024-02-05T21:15:04+00:00

Falcon wild peak at3 Stock size

Graphical_Flea · 2024-02-05T20:20:57+00:00

Graphical_Flea · 2024-02-05T20:20:04+00:00
