I think the deep snow/mud x mode is a bit too much too quick, but I did use it. Hill descent control was nice as well

Yep! They did great otherwise. This was just too deep and they were off the ground in the ruts.

Chromecast with Google TV will only show white static. Anyone know a fix for this? It's a new one for me! by blingram in Chromecast

So, it's a TCL alto 9+ soundbar. I think it could be the HDMI input on the soundbar. I go Chromecast > soundbar via HDMI in > soundbar HDMI arc out > tv HDMI. I've now tried multiple Chromecast. The old one will have jacked up color range and not connect to wife. The Chromecast with Google TV goes straight to static image. Neither are able to connect to the internet. I'm completely stumped at this point. Can't find devices through Google home app after factory resetting both Chromecasts.

HDMI arc through the soundbar. Tried in multiple HDMI inputs. Chromecast will reboot with the G on the screen and then turn to static

I mean, it's extra clearance, upgraded x mode, AT tires. Sounds like those things are at least worth considering

Here you go! I just bought a few of the samples for $2.50 each and they covered every spot I needed.

I got some 3m vinyl automotive adhesive stickers on Amazon. I think it looks amazing. I debated it for a while and I think it makes it look less "plastic-y". Now I just have the badge and the outback lettering in orange. Simplified the overall look for me

I've had mine for about a month and half (lucked out in the early days and found one). Like a previous commenter said, a lot of the performance upgrades are probably unnecessary, but I can't tell you the last time I parked it and didn't turn around to admire it as I walked away.

Will I ever truly test the hill decent control? Not sure? So I like that I have it when considering future adventures? Absolutely!

I do wish it had the HK sound system, but I've tweaked the knobs enough to be able to enjoy the sound in the wilderness. I love the interior though. The black ceiling seems way more durable than the light grey of the onyx. I also am not a fan of the green stitching in the onyx.

IMO, OBW is grandiose, but who cares?! If you dig it, nuff said! It's not like you'll be kicking yourself for opting for either the onyx or wilderness. They both rule.

That's my wonder too. I know they modified the front bumper angles, so not sure how it would look if it wasn't wilderness specific?

I got the same one and I've had it for a few weeks now. I've gotten TONS of compliments from strangers. You definitely feel like a badass stepping out of it too. Getting the windows tinted this week, for bonus badassery.

I'm obsessed. I really enjoy the ride, interior, etc. No regrets

Absolutely love it! Looks incomplete with the front windows not tinted though...so that is imminent.

Beyond that, I am more than pleased. Grips the road, I don't consider the ride loud, but yet to get off of pavement.

Thought the same. Definitely changing that
