[OTW: 02] - My Wife's 2018 Overland Subaru Crosstrek

- Thank you for checking out episode 2 of the OTW (One Take Walkaround) series. In this episode, I have my wife show off her Subaru Crosstrek and what she has done to it to accommodate camping and some light offroad trails. We filmed this during our 8 day roadtrip out West where we visited the Grand Canyon, Zion, Bryce Canyon, Arches, Canyonlands, Moab, and Rocky Mountain National Park.
We hope you all enjoy this episode as it's a little different than most "overland" rigs. Yes this obviously can't tackle tough trails, but it sure makes up for it with comfort and the ability to tour long distances.
If you'd like to feature your rig on the channel, send me an email (contact.arkansasoffroad@gmail.com) or DM me in Instagram (@grizzy.gram).

WHEEL & TIRE SPECS:
BFG K02's [215/75/R15]
15" Method Rally Series MR502 VT - Matte Black (Brass Monkey Plasti Dip)
Nice touch painting the Method wheels--they look great!
Any problems with rubbing when turning?
@@szyang03 Zero rubbing at all
No lift?
@@luckyyou774 No lift.
I love your choice in wheels and tires! Outstanding Crossie! My wife and I each have our own 2016 and we love them!
Crosstreks have to have aftermarket side window tint. I don't know what the deal is, but those windows will cook off your arm hair, stock. Great mods! I love your crosstrek!
Great video, nice to see the whole family . Hope you guys had lots of fun. Stay safe.
@Arkansas Offroad
I've dreamed about having a Crosstrek like that for years now... but my concern was always the lift kit (which everyone seems to put on), which I don't want... Thanks to you now I've got hope and will definitely go buy a Crosstrek and put thos 15" tires. Thank you so much!
Great video, I have a 2019 Crosstrek in Cool grey khaki. I love it, It is a great SUV. I also bought the rubber black cup holder liners trimmed in orange from Amazon, Gives the inside a better look. I have driven in 8 inches of snow and my Crosstrek had no problems, Subaru makes great all wheel drive vehicles plus the gas mileage rocks.
Right on! That thing is sweeeeet
Good looking rig. We did a similar trip in our Subaru Impreza wrx several years ago, great places to see.
Awesome shots and beautiful overland Subaru. I can’t wait to trick out my subie too
I love these cars. Would be a great option for a lot of overlanding. Nice work!
I agree! Thanks man.
Great video!!! Love the Subaru...my bf has a WRX so I’m familiar with all the cool mods, stickers you add to your car adding lots of HP😆.....You guys look like you had a awesome time...
Haha thanks! Stickers always add HP.
Love your videos guys keep making more.
I love my 2020 Crosstrek Premium! Thanks for the great review!✌️👍🇺🇸
This was fun to watch. I just got done doing all 5 NPs in Utah in a nearly identical 2018 Crosstrek. The Shafer Trail was lots of fun. I recommend the Weathertech mats! I even have the same orange trim rubber mats and dog cover, lol.
Hey MarchingaOn, I am moving out to Utah in the summer. I own a 2018 Crosstrek. How hard was taking your car down Shafer Trail? Would you recommend any other doable trails?
Finally. A video of new wheels and tires on stock height! Have been trying to find the answers for a while ! Thanks !
No prob!
Opened video. Ad was playing. Liked the video. Commented. Ad finished. Watched the video. 👍
Great video
As for the retractable ladder. Fully extend the ladder when you deploy it. Then adjust your height starting from the top.
I have the same type with my RTT
Bengb X Thank you!
We need more of these videos bro. And next time bring that taco out and let’s do Sedona! Trails everywhere!
My friends and I basically did the same trip this summer from GA. We even camped in the Ozarks on the way home.
That's awesome. Definitely a good route
She juuusssttt fits under the tent hahaha. Looks like a practical but fun ride!
I'm glad the OEM aero crossbars can support the tent. That's what's been keeping me from getting a rooftop tent.
Well, they worked great for us!
Subaru is life!
Rendezvous in the Ozarks put on by Natural State Overland I would highly recommend. Very family friendly event. Past years they had movies and a bonfire. Drive a stock 4x4 no problem. Try Byrds easy trail or some dirt roads close by. Last 2 years my 99 4runner has been stock but my nitto trail tires. Had no problems with easy trail. I would recommend going to the cross and seeing the amazing view! Lots of prize give a ways. Like Grant said check them out to see this years plan. Have a question about it go ahead and ask. It really is a great time for all!
Have a Crosstrek and want to thank the both of you for the ideas especially, on the tires and wheels.
Of course! Glad to help.
What are the tires and wheels? Hopefully it will work on a forester.
@@shone1988 looks like method 502 (15 inch ) with BFG KO2s
I’m curious! What are the size specs on those KO2’s? I have a Crosstrek with 18” rims and I’m trying to go to 15”ers but I want to keep my tire diameter the same.
WOW ...I love the tent setup ...
Thanks!
@@ArkansasOffroad Any chance you have the model of the tent. Looks perfect for the subaru.
Cool rig!! I have wanted to dip my wheels that color!! Nice to see it done. I’m sooo happy she didn’t overlay her rear reflectors... they are soo dangerous when people do that
Yeah! We love the dipped wheels. And yeah, I totally agree on the reflectors. Hate seeing that.
Looks great even without the lift!
I love it bro😃👍👍👊👊
Love the set up! I have a 2019 Crosstrek and I was wondering what dog hammock you have in the back. 👍🌲
Nice setup !
I use my 2021 Trek for overlanding. I never got bit by the roof top tents .. they are still tents! I sleep inside my Trek .. comfortable for one .. pretty snug for two. Mine is lifted 2" with skid plates and 225/65 17" Toyo All Terrains .. just back from a trip to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon where it did nicely. 🤠
Very cool!
Hello fellow Arkie. Cool Croostek setup. I was just wondering about the load on the roof rack with the roof tent? Any issues with two person? Thanks
Great video. Glad the stock crossbars worked on the RTT. Curious what the tent weighs?
Speaking of side by sides!!!! Next time you're out in AZ you need to drive to Crown King!!!!
Awesome video thankyou. I'm just curious when are we gonna see your Toyota in action. I been to Colorado beautiful place. I like the cool looking Subaru. Yall take care and be safe
David Gintz Very soon. The brand new redesigned front and rear bumpers have been built and are currently getting powder coated. Hoping to install them end of this week and then I’ll hit the trails. Soon! I’m dying just as much as you are 😂
Hey guys,
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE your setup... SO MUCH, that I kept watching your video on repeat for the last month. What are the wheels dimensions though? (15"" x ??)
Thanks!
Nice. Mine looks like that but with an inno wedge on top
miss the tj great video love the channel
Thank you!
I swear I read somewhere theres a really light weight limit on the factory bars and rack.
Have you guys had any issues yet? I don't see any but was curious! Love this setup! May do it on my '19 XV!
Edit: just read 700lbs static, 150lbs if you're driving. Awesome!
awesome video..I am from Arkansas as well....
Dope!
Cool setup!
Thanks Taylor!
I love it
Nice video 👍✌
Great video. Quick question: Which crossbars are these, they fit very nicely with the stock roof racks.
Am waiting your next video 📹
Wow dreammmm car
Did a great job with the mods the tires are bomb do they ever rub when you turn, guys don’t like have coffee mugs or surgery anything like that, I know light Brite nation has him, a couple other of a shows have them very cool 😎 Be safe.
Thanks! No rubbing at all.
Got a new subscriber 😁
Loved your car and the mods, have this question, what are the drawbacks of having the rooftop tent when you drive on the freeway. I have a crosstrek and am planning of going for the same Makita rooftop tent. And yeah, with the new wheels, how much does it affect the fuel efficiency of the car.
NICE
Great video and content. How did you get that from Subaru? 7:30 I just bought my crosstek a week ago. Keep up the good work!
At first I didn't like this video, way too much info but I eventually found this incredibly helpful. Thank you for sharing everything from the Kona's dog blanket situation to the yakima roof tent. Super great and much appreciated. This trail looks aaaaaamaaaaazing!!
Nice view
Such a clean setup! What are the wheel and tire specs?
As someone whose favorite color is orange, I love the orange features
Great minds think alike
@@ArkansasOffroad I went with Black Rhino rims for my Crosstrek :)
Looks like a great time! Thanks for sharing the vid! Side question...why is Arkansas pronounced arkin-saw...where Kansas is cans-iss? Lol
Are you happy with the automatic or do you think the manual would have been a better choice
What kind of dog cover is that? Btw nice crosstrek! I just bought a 2018 premium and I have plans to do a similar setup with the wheel set. And how does the car handle the rooftop tent?
Just got the Crosstrek Limited today! I've been looking o Amazon for the stickers and decals you got on yours but can't find them. Can you share some links? I especially like the mountains on your doors and the ones on the gas tank and steering wheel. I also have orange stitching so it's perfect!
Are those crossbars strong enough? Does it flex when there’s a person in the tent?
Thank you for the show and tell! I'm a long-time Jeep gal...06 TJ ... researching Crosstreks. I am so torn! Haha. Do you ever have Kona in the front when driving alone and if so do you have a cover and seatbelt setup? My 8-yo lab is my copilot ☺️🐾Also does Kona sleep in the vehicle?
Very cool! Nope he always rides in the back. If it's super cold out, he'll sleep in the tent with me. Otherwise he sleeps in the car.
Great video and content! Do you have the links for the orange Embolms by any chance?
May I ask about the rooftop tent? If the roof rack is rated for 700 pounds, does the tent and gear and a few people start to push the limits of the rack?
Is the orange steering wheel badge the same badge as the exterior badges? What is the weight limit capacity for that tent?
Just wish they hadn’t gone to DI only. Should have kept the multi-port like the forester 18’ and older.
My fiancée has one as well and loves it. Don’t think she’d modify it, but it’s the perfect size!
ok so whats the best brand for the rain guards. im struggling. A link would help a ton ty
Nice set up , these are growing on me , tho Subaru should have but the 2.5 engine in it it would have made a massive difference
The upper trims do have a 2.5L engine
@@rynryman3445 not in the uk ☹️
Was there any issue with the tires to fit over the calipers ?
Which roof racks are those? Most roof racks aren’t rated to hold a lot of weight.
Hi. With 215/75/15 you can use the stock spare tire?
Great video. Thank you. How durable is the Brass Monkey Plasti Dip?
Very. Just make sure you do it exactly as they instruct with multiple coats. It’s not very durable where the coating is thin. In my case, around the lug nuts. Other than that it’s still holding strong. Just prep it correctly.
what did you do about the tpms when you switched wheels?
What is your MPG you are getting fully loaded and rigged out?
Are the emblems full replacements or decals? Also, do you have the link where you got them on Amazon? Apparently I'm stupid and can't find them.
Thank you!
I hope that the tent worked out for you because those arrow bars are not rated for a rooftop tent.
Its fast using the paddle shifters
I really like your choice of mods. I like that you didn’t lift it and negatively affect handling. How are the KO2s on the hi way? I’m looking to add BFGs but am concerned about tire noise. Thanks.
I had km2 on my old jeep then went to ko2 and was shocked I thought they made a mistake and put street tires on lol. I am about to get them on my new Jeep.
Thanks. Yep, we wanted to maintain all factory specs but still have an aggressive appearance. The KO2's are excellent. Not loud at all. Very very slightly louder than the stock street tires, but hardly noticeable. I would not worry about any noise with these.
You will never go wrong with a KO2 on any vehicle. They are probably the best all use tire available. That said, their competition is usually close enough to not much matter for most of us.
Just wanted to add, I’ve had Methods and BFG KO2’s since I bought my 2018 Crosstrek and I absolutely LOVE THEM! Very little road nice, great on street and in the dirt, very stable. No complaints at all!
I am going to add that I don't appreciate them on snow. But you are never going to see snow, so forge ahead.
Hey, Thanks for the video! Thinking about getting a crosstrek with AT tires. Could you of gone bigger tires with the smaller rims?
That's exactly what we did
Thank you for the great review! Can I ask what brand those crossbars are?
Crossbars were directly from Subaru!
How was it driving with the RTT as far as added weight goes? I have an 18 crosstrek and feel like when I load it down with camping gear it can really slow down. Any issue with oil temp increasing on steep inclines? Thanks so much for your videos! Love to see crosstrek adventures!
No issues with weight at all, just a pretty big drop in MPG. Thanks!
Bring that TJ out and I can show you around...
Did you pickup your Crosstrek on Col. Glenn Road like I did mine?
I haven't done any off roading, yet. But I sure do Love my Crosstrek Sport!
I'll be checking out your other vids! 😉
Thanks! No we purchased ours in Arkansas where we're from
@@ArkansasOffroad LOL, that is where I am talking about. Col. Glenn Road in Little Rock at Little Rock Subaru 😉
I just purchased my Crosstrek on the 15th of last month and LOVE IT!!!
Ohhh nope! We went to adventure subaru in fayetteville
what color is the crosstrek - looks like a dark grey?
Thank you and please share your wheel modification rim and tire sizes. Everyone does ridiculous lifts and their wheels rub... You did a sensible wheel modification that looks so much better. Please share the info.
Thank you! Check the top comment. I pinned all of the sizes.
Isn’t dogs suppose to be on a leash at campgrounds in colorado?
There vent visors over the windows.
I need those wheels&tires on my Imp
Iam debating between crosstwk and hybrid xle rav 4 to go off roading
Give me the links to the emblems and rubber covers! Pretty please :)
Will these wheels fit on a 2019?
“GREAT STICKERS”......
Where are you located in Arkansas? I’m in Jonesboro with almost the same setup. Would love to find others around to do some over landing
Is that Dark Gray Metallic or Black
🤙🤙🤙
sooo no lift on this car and this wheel and tyre fits perfect???Thanks great video
yes
any issues with the wheel/tire set up? really want to put a more aggressive set up on my 21 premium, but don’t want to lift bc of the warranty. great video !
Not at all! It's perfect. Rides excellent and didn't even notice a loss in MPG. No rubbing or anything.
Did you guys end up getting new TPMS sensors for the method wheels? Or did you get them transferred from the stock wheels? Thanks!
Yes, we did have to buy new TPMS sensors.
What no lift ? Really ? Awesome
