This isn’t some parts-bin daily driver with dreams of greatness—it’s the real deal. A legit overlanding rig custom-built over two years, obsessively curated through forums, late-night gear hunts, and enough test-and-tweak time to qualify as a second job.
If you want plug-and-play adventure, here it is.
I’ve dropped over $4,200 on upgrades (parts only—labor was all sweat equity and love). Every mod on this rig was selected for performance, protection, and presence.
It’s more than the sum of its parts—it’s trail-tested, garage-groomed, and damn near bulletproof.
Let me break it down for you:

🛠️ Modifications & Upgrades (AKA: Where the Money Went)
• LP Aventure Front Bumper Guard + Skid Plate
Forget stock clearance. This setup says “Bring it” to boulders and brush.
• Primitive Racing Oil Pan + Transmission Skid Plates
Real armor. Not showy. Just silently saving your engine from a $5K mistake.
• Pirelli Scorpion All-Terrain Tires
Street comfort meets trail confidence. They grip. They last. They look the part.
• Motegi Rims
Strong, clean, rally-ready. Adds bite and bark.
• Rigid Armor Spare Tire Carrier (incl. Motegi rim + KO2 spare)
Hardcore utility with eye-candy vibes. Not just for looks—it’s how you carry like a pro.
• Front Dash Cam
Trail runs? Documented. Grocery run fails? Also documented. Freebie gold.
• RalliTEK Springs + Bilstein Shocks
Handles weight like a boss. Balanced, planted, and smooth on/off road.
• Upgraded 20mm Sway Bar
A small swap with a huge difference. Cuts body roll and boosts corner confidence.
• Raceseng Tug Ring
No poser parts here—10,000 lb rated and ready to haul, pull, or recover when needed.
• 🔥 ReadyLIFT SST Lift Kit (Front 2” / Rear 1.5”)
*****Let me say this loud for the people in the back: no wobbles.*****
Most lift kits on Outbacks introduce those dreaded 15–20 MPH shakes. Not this one. This ReadyLIFT kit solves that mess thanks to:
o Offset spacers that maintain factory geometry
o Sway bar relocation brackets to preserve handling
o No cradle drops required—bolt-on and clean
o Retains factory ride quality, but adds serious clearance
o Clearance boost to fit up to 245/65-17s with an aggressive stance that turns heads and clears rocks

🛑 Why Sell a Beast Like This?
Because life shifted. This rig was my passion project, but now I need the garage space and cash for other priorities. I’m not happy about it, but if it ends up in the hands of someone who gets it—it’ll hurt a lot less.

Final Word
This isn’t “just another Outback.” It’s a purpose-built machine for people who actually hit the trail. You’re getting thousands in pro-level gear and upgrades—without paying the labor markup. If you know what all this is worth, we’ll get along just fine.
If you’re looking for a $15K AWD to drive to Costco… you might want to keep scrollin’.
Serious buyers only. No lowballs. Trail gods are watching.
