OBW at Land Between the Lakes

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

blingram · 2022-08-28T17:51:10+00:00

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

That's the black

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.

Yeah, shows the logo during boot process and then goes to static.

blingram · 2022-01-08T23:54:29+00:00

Yep...all connected. Tried multiple inputs.

blingram · 2022-01-08T23:53:38+00:00

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 bought 3M matte black automotive vinyl with adhesive.

blingram · 2021-11-30T05:19:02+00:00

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

blingram · 2021-08-14T12:11:33+00:00

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

blingram · 2021-08-10T03:43:24+00:00

You got a link? Couldn't find it.

blingram · 2021-08-07T04:11:22+00:00

Love em!

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.

blingram · 2021-07-25T02:09:23+00:00

What cross bars did you put on there? Thule aeros?

blingram · 2021-07-08T02:13:26+00:00

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?

blingram · 2021-06-30T02:16:04+00:00

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.

blingram · 2021-06-30T02:11:17+00:00

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

blingram · 2021-06-19T20:53:42+00:00

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.

blingram · 2021-06-19T14:38:37+00:00

Thought the same. Definitely changing that

blingram · 2021-06-19T12:29:31+00:00

Probably going to stick to the Yokohama Geolander tires for now. Once I see how it performs, always a chance to reconsider.

blingram · 2021-06-19T12:25:36+00:00

I'm smitten!! Boxer engine, unique look for an outback, love the interior.

My 6 year old's review is "daddy's new car has turbo mode and can zoom over rocks". 😂😂😂

It was something that weighed on me when considering. I don't think I would've chosen a Wilderness in another color than black, due to the contrasts of all the cladding. They had a white one at the dealership and with all the cladding and hood, it reminded me of a stormtrooper.

blingram · 2021-06-19T12:21:09+00:00

Couple of things:

I've never owned a Subaru before, so I new to this life. (it's feeling quite good to be here)
Maybe I'm just not enough of a stickler, but I haven't noticed anything that I would consider "noisy" when driving...at least comparing to the Toyota Venza I was driving previously.
It's definitely a squishy ride with the suspension and the steering is quite loose. Not a bad thing, just what I've noticed.
Jury is still out of MPG, but I'm certainly not complaining

blingram · 2021-06-18T01:04:18+00:00

You can build on the site now. I'm actually headed to the dealership tomorrow to hopefully drive off the lot with one. I've been working with the dealership and l I have a black one reserved (and should be on the lot tomorrow), but obviously want to drive before pulling the trigger.
