2:20 where did you get that foldable table from?
Looks good, dark stain was a good choice
Thanks dude!
That’s legit, you really maxing that trek out to its fullest 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Sick I love Mammoth! Been going all my life and lived their for a season worked the mountains as a lifty 🤙🏼🤙🏼 actually heading there next month cheeyaww
Diggin the tre, I have a wilderness trek and ur videos gives me ideas! I think if you got a wireless mic it would enhance ur videos better, keep crushin it love the content man!
@@EPICHIKE Thanks! I’ve been looking around for mics. My buddy has the wiresless DJI mic and it’s sick.
@@CrosstrekCamper yeah! I wanna get that one lol currently on a binge with your channel🤙🏼🤙🏼
What type of product do you use for the final touch ? Thanks
Chemical Guys VRP - amzn.to/4flB8Oj
damn this is so well done, nice work man.
how often do you do this?
@@SolracAdventures Only once per year, or whenever I see fading and want to refinish.
wow, very well done!
I just feel like that cooler is over kill 😅
@@Soulackin it definitely is! It’s useful for week to month long trips, where I can stock up on food or meal prep for long periods, but doesn’t make sense for shorter trips. I’m thinking about downsizing to a cooler half the size so it’s more manageable for weekend trips.
What year is your Crosstrek? My husband and I just drove our Crosstrek out to Utah from Cleveland. Love it there!!! And i love this Subaru! Realized how well it off-roads! It drives well in sand and down steep mountains out there!
2017!
You still rockin with the luno air mattress? also love to see a fellow CT traveler
Yeah, I still have the Luno! I mostly use it in the summertime or when I want a full bed platform. CT Represent!
This felt like a massage to my brain, the way everything was so well thought out and organized 😮💨
I was finally able to install wetokole rear seat covers thanks to this video!!!! Thank you! 😊
Thanks for the last airbag alarm tip. I have never heard anyone talk about that.
The only problem with cans is that the gauge only reads low side pressure. The high side pressure is also important. You definitely don't want to crank the low side to 50psi if you don't know where the high side pressure is. That's a great way to blow up an AC system. The Subaru Crosstrek/Impreza/Forester AC systems all have the same issue. Where the compressor will buzz loudly. And the AC will start getting warm. Common leak is at the expansion valve. Just look at where the AC lines go into the firewall. You'll see dye around there.
Thank you so much! My dog just barfed along the side of the cushion and it went pretty deep 🥲 This made it so much easier to fully clean!
AAA plus plan gets you a 100 mile tow. I get the best quality tires I can and leave the spare and jack at home. Offloading weight and adding much more storage space makes sense to me. Haven't had a flat in decades. The storage area (previous spare tire compartment) is huge in my 2018 RAV 4. It's cool sleeping on the road when necessary. I hate hotel rooms! "Shelter line stretchin' round the corner, welcome to the new world order". Would love a really good estimate of the number of Americans now calling their car "home". Small SUV's are perfect for being "stealth". I enjoyed your video.
Very nice
Dude, you are so creative and brilliant. Btw, I also have a crosstrek with a subwoofer. Kudos.
Did you get a weight on the rear seats?
The rear seats are approx. 40 lbs total (10 lbs bottom cushion, 30 lbs backrest).
@@CrosstrekCamper thank you! That information has proven to be elusive.
Do you know how much the seats weigh?
The rear seats are approx. 40 lbs total (10 lbs bottom cushion, 30 lbs backrest).
This is perfect for what i need. I also have the luno mattress.
Check out the updated conversion! czcams.com/video/jJUUgv40o3s/video.htmlsi=xfLqvRjpf6Yxv7Zu
Nice job, what type of plywood did you use?
1/2” Sanded Maple
Do you use the rainx windshield treatment too?
Yes
@@CrosstrekCamper how’s the combo working?
@@tjmckenna8262 It works great! I do most of my traveling during the winter, so I opted for winter rated blades and I also use the RainX 2-in-1 to clean and recoat the windows when needed.
@@CrosstrekCamper awesome, thanks!
Did you remove your front passenger seat?
Yes
Can you tell which model Thule box you have? I have a crosstrek and need a narrower one so I can put my kayak on it too (I don’t use j racks) but my kayak is only 20” wide Tia
Thule Force XT Large (amzn.to/44Yvz3k) - you can check sizes & dimensions on the Thule website! Ensure that your crossbars are long enough to fit both. I also had some trouble mounting the box around the crossbar mounts.
Awesome
This is much more practical than the heavy subwoofer method lol
Just thumbs upped & subbed. Well done, young man! After I save up some money for my Subie, I will be checking in with you. Hopefully, you will have worked out if making these available for purchase is worth your very valuable time & effort. I am a 100% service connected disabled war veteran🇺🇲. After well over a decade of recovery (both physically & mentally - and I'm evermore Still In Process), I am finally at a place where I yearn to reconnect with the great outdoors (again).😎✌️I believe that your system can help me with "getting back out there" in a practical way - through the gifts of organization & inspiration. "One step at a time," & "all that jazz," right? Thanks & Blessings to you and yours.🙏 Until then, I hope "The Very Best" for you and your endeavors.
I have a 2019 Crosstrek and I couldn't get the back part of the seat to come out. It seems like those pins are too long to slide out of the sides, like i'd have to remove the plastic housing.. I slid it off the middle bolt like you showed.. Wondering if they changed something from 2017 to 2019?
Nevermind. I figured it out. I needed to remove the two bolts on the smaller section that connects it to the larger section, then was able to take out each side individually.
WoW!!! Asesome design and build!! Good for you!!
Do you just have to do that seatbelt thing once? What if you want to turn it back on? repeat the process?
You only have to repeat the process if you disconnect the battery.
@@CrosstrekCamper Thanks!
I think you nailed it, one of the best I've seen
u can put the desk in the back so it isnt so tight dumass
as a 2nd subaru owner i would never use the spare tire as the difference in circumference will ruin your transmission in a short amount of time. i would use a plug kit in the rare event that i get a flat
Nice work
I like the Luno gear. Great setup for a smallish space.
The Princess and the pea 😂
I was driving up in the Colorado mountains during a snowstorm amd decided to pull off to the right to sleep. When i woke up, it was still snowing, and when i opened my door, my feet were dangling. I thought i had pulled to the right, but with the twists of the moutnain road, i was still too far over the on the left and on the wrong edge of the mountain road.
How long does it take you to swap the front passenger seat back in?
About 10 minutes
Fantastic ingenuity!
Where did you get the yellow lid boxes to make the headreast/pillow area?
Home Depot or Lowe’s! 7 gallon storage bins
best setup...
Thank you! I spilled water in my backseat and this let me check to see if any got underneath :)
you gotta put links to items you use
I have newer videos with product links. Check out, What I Pack for My Winter Road Trip - Subaru Crosstrek Car Camping Gear Walkthrough czcams.com/video/bWiV8ThKlg8/video.html
Did the cross country trip way back in the day in a Toyota pickup truck solo-best experience ever!
Will the airbag system deploy if the srs system light is illuminated on the dash? I took out my seat and plan to drive without it but I am worried the airbag system will not function properly in an accident.
I would also like to know the answer to this.
@kurtdewittphoto I called a Subaru Dealership, and they told me that my 2016 Subaru Crosstrek will deploy airbags without the passenger seat. They also said the two little lights on the dashboard would not go away. The passenger seatbelt light and the red square exclamation mark doesnt go away. Hope that helps.
@authentichumanprogramming Thanks for the info. Does doing the seatbelt trick as shown in the video help?
@kurtdewittphoto It worked for me. Although I did it before I checked if it would ring constantly. I did it and it doesnt make any noise while I drive.
@@authentichumanprogramming Thanks!
thanks man. Thinking about to do a full interior cleaning for my 2018 impreza. Help a lot. Appreciate it.
The seatbt trick didn't work for me. Mine is 2016. I tried twice. Do you know if I leave a side door open for hours, will it kill the battery? My interior lights are always off
1.Turn the key to On position, do not start it. (2 clicks forward) 2. Wait till the first set of chimes starts. 3. Quickly take your drivers side seatbelt buckle and insert and remove into latch exactly 20 times within 30 seconds. Don't rush it, just make sure to fully insert the tab all the way into the latch each time. You should end with the seatbelt unbuckled. 4. After 20 times, turn key to off, and remove key, then try turning back on and starting vehicle.
I have left my doors open for several hours with no issues. Just ensure that all lights are off, including the one in your hatch!
