Submit a quote request for CNC machining and metal fabrication or contact us to discuss your project requirements. In my opinion, and the opinion of many other enthusiasts, the biggest drawback with the current model Subarus for offroading is the CVT transmission. They’re very efficient and smooth but they don’t give as much room for driver input and don’t take well to prolonged “abuse” on the trails. For this reason, it’s important to keep them maintained with regular fluid changes and even cooling mods when possible. They currently have a 3 inch cat back exhaust with 5 inch single can mufflers.

Little things like these spacers and mounts are what often get overlooked when thinking about lifting a Subaru more than two inches. Most folks completely forget the extra work involved with lifting to three inches and above. But if you’re willing to put in the time to do it right, the finished product is awesome. You’ll also notice the grade 10 stainless steel bolts and powder coating that has been applied to the spacers. Since these components are in direct contact with the unibody, it’s important that they don’t rust and cause permanent damage to the car.

Patrick and Cody opted to use Diode Dynamics lights for the front light bar, ditch lights, and the rock lights in the wheel wells. Gear up your Toyota Highlander for off-road exploration with our high-performance adventuring products. From durable skid plates to specialized suspension components, enhance your journey with style and rugged reliability. We work with you closely through the initial stages of the design process to help you create the most innovative solution for your products. Using 3D solid modeling software for design and engineering, coupled with our expertise, we’ll help you optimize your design for manufacturability. It took Patrick weeks to build this lift kit by hand, but I think the final product has been well worth it.

The car technically belongs to Cody Anderson who, as the name implies, is Patrick’s brother. It has been lifted an additional four inches over the factory one inch lift that the car came with. You can expect to receive a fast turnaround with craftsmanship beyond compare when you work with Andersen Industries. Our strength lies in our ability to respond quickly with innovative, cost-effective solutions for CNC metal fabrication, welding, and machining. We fabricate and manufacture custom and repetitive metal products from sheet, plate, tube, pipe, and structural steel shapes in carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.

Simply painting a spacer usually doesn’t prevent rust since it eventually wears off. The 265/65R17 tires measure out to about 30.5 inches in overall diameter which is usually not a size that would fit on a Subaru. But with the 4 inch custom lift, they fit on the car perfectly without any rubbing issues. From quality components to new innovations to work with your demand schedules, we give you a turnkey solution for all of your OEM and construction project welding needs. Our variety of advanced Mig and Tig welding equipment increases weld quality and productivity.

One of the most common mistakes I see among Subaru owners is trying to recover their car from the front tow point. I’ve seen them rip right out of bumpers creating a deadly hazard and I routinely try to warn people about the dangers of it. The team at ADF got to work and started designing a wind fairing to cut down on drag and wind noise. The result was awesome and turned out so well that they decided to start selling them.

The stock exhaust was not fitting properly after the subframe spacers were installed. This allows the CV axles and the front control arms to sit close to their intended angles without causing damage. I live roughly 3.5 hours from Pat but I have wanted to photograph their 2022 Subaru Outback Wilderness since I first saw it on their Instagram.

He then installed a carrier bearing spacer to let the drive shaft angles return to the correct position. I asked Patrick if there were any things that could be done to mitigate the extra stress placed on the CVT by bigger tires. But he said that he has seen situations where people have had warranty work denied due to the presence of an aftermarket CVT cooler. Sometimes referred to as rear subframe spacers, these help correct the position of the rear wheels and push the rear differential into the right spot for optimal CV axle operation.

But finding a good rack system that is low profile and doesn’t stand tall above the car can be a challenge. Taller roof racks can add to the drag which reduces fuel economy and some people simply dislike the appearance. Having ditch lights lets the driver see potential hazards on the side of the vehicle. Things like downed trees that could break out a window, or large rocks that might not be easily visible can be illuminated with a set of properly aimed ditch lights.

But with the OBWE being a wagon, there is a drone in the vehicle at certain RPM’s that makes it a little hard to use as a family car. Patrick plans to install their dual chamber muffler to quiet it down even more for daily driving comfort. The team over at ADF fitted the Outback with a set of Milestar Patagonia A/T Pro tires in a massive 265/65R17. Paired with the 17 inch Method 314 wheels, they look great and give the car all the grip it could ever need on the trails. We bring our wealth experience with form and finishes to the table to help you through the process. Each step is just as important as the next, and we've got them all under control.

Patrick designed a five inch spacer to replace the one inch version that came on the stock Outback Wilderness. You can see it tucked up against the unibody of the Subaru above the sway bar reinforcement brackets. The Method 314 wheels in 17×7.5 come with a 30mm offset and they opted to install a one inch spacer to help bring the wheels out even further. This helps the car handle better with a wider track and adds an aggressive look. Embark on a thrilling RAV4 journey, where off-roading meets innovation and reliability. Explore confidently with innovative features, ensuring an unforgettable adventure supported by top-notch products designed for the ultimate experience.
