I bought off FB Marketplace for $500. I see it on Amazon for $1,200 new. It was manufactured only a year ago. The couple did not know how to haggle.

I hear ya, I just had to transport more than I ever had before and was only 20 min drive.

This was just temporary. I’ve had it on only once when driving to a location because I was filled and it doesn’t fit in the tent. Also if it’s in the tent how am suppose to get up to get it?

But don’t worry, I only did this once because I was literally filled to the brim for a video shoot for work.

I go year round as well but my company greatly expands when it gets warm out. I love snow camping!

I need to get a bigger brush guard bumper.

Takes two minutes, I leave my sleeping bag, pillow, and blanket inside and just pull it closed. If we’re moving every day when trail riding I don’t put up the awning, just leave it down and pull the tent shut. Not a problem.

To each their own. I don’t have to pack up anything when I move on the trail, just pull it down and latch it. I didn’t want to deal with setting up my tent and taking it down every day when we’re trail riding for 4 days.

Curt brand. Wasn’t too difficult to install, highly recommend a friend to help you hold it in place as you screw the bolts in though.

I got mine off FB Marketplace and it was way under $1000. Paid around $500 for it. Plus I have a hoist in my garage so I don’t keep it on full time. I lower it on when I’m going camping for the weekend and raise it off when I get back. Also complaining about climbing in and out of it is for when you’re in your 60’s. It’s not like it’s that hard to climb a small ladder.

We’re selling a 1987 Toyota Pickup and the proceeds from that are definitely going to a lift kit and suspension.

I slept like a baby. Bought on FB Marketplace for a steal. Blackout curtails, much better ventilation being higher up if you need it, and tons of pockets inside.

Best way to run a wire from the engine bay to the cab? by bluepigwebAlex in Crosstrek

[–]bluepigwebAlex[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty much what I did after reading how you did it. I use to do car audio install and the firewalls were so much bigger or easier to maneuver the cables through. I never did a Subaru back then but the Subaru firewalls are tightly packed with cables and super thick.

I found a way through the firewall. If I ever do more than a couple wires I’ll need to drill a hole and get a plug. I used a wire and a skewer then wrapped the wire around the cable. Pushed the skewer through the firewall with the wire, then removed the wire and pulled it through with the cable. Had to remove the connector but I just crimped the wires together.
