I Do Some Exploring Up In The Shotgun Creek Area, With My Lifted Subaru Crosstrek

- I head out to Shotgun Creek OHV Recreation Area for a quick day trip. I did a fair amount of exploring, and managed to find some decent mud holes, and some pretty fun trails to drive.
I can defiantly tell that my new RallyArmor mud flaps helped keep the mud and grime off the side of my car, on this trip. Normally my car would have been caked in mud after a trip like this, haha!

Those cross treks are good little rigs.
Love mine :)
I freaking love your videos!!!!
I watch you from Québec City
Awesome! Well hello, Québec City! I'm happy you found me :)
Nice vid, those tires really make a difference.
Thanks! Love my Mud Terrain tires... on everything but pavement and snow, lol!
Dude, I love your videos! You got a new sub from Puerto Rico. ✌️
Awesome! Glad to have you :)
Спасибо Вам за видео и информацию с товаром! Очень помогло
Thanks, I have had the Crosstrek (XV in New Zealand) one week and already had three astonished 4WD owners with what it can do even not lifted. Been out on the beach in deep shingle and up a 120ft 24deg wet grass hill in it
These cars are amazing. They can't do everything a standard 4x4 can, but they can do some things they can't :p
Just bought the 2021 Crosstrek sport 2 days ago and love it already 😁
Same way I felt after getting mine :)
I am starting to think about purchasing a new car and you have inspired me to get a Crosstrek. I love your videos, there is something relaxing about them.
Thanks! Glad I could inspire :)
Great 👍 Hello from italy 😉
Awesome! Glad to have you :)
@@TheAdventureZombie My subaru XV is stock. (dark gray metallic). In Italy it is very complicated to modify due to the restrictive approvals. I really like your changes. 👍
I have heard that about other European countries as well, I wonder why they do that? Thank you :)
@@TheAdventureZombie
I also wonder. They prefer to let us spend our savings on taxes😂😂😂
Ciao! 😉
Haha! That's fair :p
Great video, love what's possible with a crosstrek 😉
And it shows that I am not the only crosstrek with the spare tire mounted on the canyon xt 😅
Haha! Yeah, it's a great pace to keep a full size spare :) I am planning on getting a custom rear bumper with a tire carrier soon though. I'd really like to put my Thule aero box on the roof instead to help save on MPG.
I don't care about the MPG, cause it looks cool on top of the car 😂
Besides I have an Gordi Gear awning mounted on the driver's side, so the tire up there won't make much MPG difference anymore. And if the MPG gets too high and you might run out of fuel, you always can place two fuel canisters on the rack. Useful and stylish for again 😂
That is true, lol
another awesome video
Thanks! I always appreciate the feedback :)
Dude, loved it! You have a knack for engaging visual storytelling! I would liked to have seen how you moved the "big a$$ tree" LOL.
Also LOVED the driving into and away from camera transition...very nice. And the full send thru the mud puddles early on looked like a blast.
I need to get out there, ride with you and get me some Oregon pinstriping. That one trail and slope looked gnarly enough on camera, but I know what you mean...video hardly ever does it justice. I KNEW you had to scraped bumper on that one...glad you showed it at the end.
BTW, how's your CVT temps now that you have the ScanGauge? You noticing it getting hot at all especially on the trails or after long ascents? And are you running in manual mode or auto? I suspect keeping it in manual mode might help keep the temps down because the CVT isn't constantly hunting for a gear. My guess is that more fluid flow, drum and belt movement and constant change in system pressures = more heat vs fixing it in a "gear" should essentially mean less "hunting" from the CVT. I could be wrong, but I'm planning on testing it next time I find dirt to play in.
Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing!
Thanks man! Lol, I used one of the branches and leverage to get the tree moved. Works great if the branches are strong enough, lol. I actually moved two big ass trees that day, but my GoPro stopped working, so I didn't get the second one on camera. Lol, I figured you'd see that transition, haha! I really like the way you had done it, and figured you'd appreciate the subtle "nod" to your work :)
Dude, you are always welcome to hit me up, should you ever be in the Oregon area, and you best believe I'll be hitting you up if I'm ever in the Chicago area, lol! Oh man, that trail. I didn't know if I was gonna be able to make it to the top or not. Each section I was telling melyself, "well, here goes nothing." Ha! I also didn't mean to go that fast through the puddles, but it looks good on film! :P
So far I haven't seems trans temps over 202 yet on ascents, but I also haven't climbed anything too crazy yet. My temps usually hover around 185-191, but it's also cold out so I'm sure that has a part in it. I will defiantly test out manual mode on ascents next time and see if that helps my temps though, it seems like sound reasoning to me :) I'll let you know how it goes.
Thanks for the feedback as always, I really appreciate the advice and support, man. Thank you!
Man if you can tell me what rims/tires these are (as I have no idea if this Crosstrek is lifted or its the rims/tires that make it look like that) Great adventure and those trails are sick!
In this video I had a 1.5" ADF lift with BFG Mud Terrain KM3s (215/75r15), and the wheels are KMC Bully KM708 (15x7 5x100 +10 offset 4.39 backspacing)
I too have a Subaru XV9older style) and live in the NW and because I didn't know about Shotgun Creek OHV Recreation Area you get a like and sub. So how much MPG dose having the roof tire cost ya? Anyways Merry Xmas and happy new year as a fellow ginger I hope are trails cross.
Awesome! Glad to have you :) Well, the roof rack costs me about 5-7MPG, lol. Soon as I get a bumper with a tire carrier, I'll throw my aero box up there.
I just got a 2021 Cosstrek Limited back in August and I love it. Big upgrade from the 2010 Impreza Outback Sport I had.
Quick question though. What wheels did you go with?
I was thinking of the LP Adventure LP1s, but after seeing yours, I may have changed my mind. It looks so good! 👍
KMC Bully KM702's, they are cheaper too :p
@@TheAdventureZombie Awesome! Thank you so much!
Are you able to punch out the center cap on the wheel to put on the OEM Subaru logo one?
@@DME04 you know, I didn't even think to try that. I'll have to check and see if they fit. Good call.
@@TheAdventureZombie If you happen to do it in the near future, you'll have to let me know!
Will do!
One of your best videos yet. I cringe just a bit when you go through the big puddles not knowing how deep they are. Do you have a sense of how deep or do you just go for it?
he had to go through it once to set the camera so i can only assume he got a feel for the depth
I defiantly felt the depth with a branch first, lol! I was out there alone, and I really didn't want to swamp my car, ha! There was a puddle right next to that one that was like 3ft deep!
I wish I could move to Oregon. Was that the 3 sisters behind you
Yep, I love the PNW :)
I was going to walk the pct starting last April but it was canceled because of the virus and there probably not going to let us walk in next year so I'm thinking about upgrading to a 2021
Yeah, I've had to put all my mountain climbs on hold too, really sucks :/ The '21s are really nice, I upgraded from a 2014, and regret nothing :p
Great videos ! Did you do a weight comparison with the new tires and wheel combo ? And how much did the added weight of the wheels and tires affect your performance and mileage?
They are heavier, but no I didn't. The tires didn't make a big difference in fuel milage. The big one was adding the roof rack. That took a chunk of my MPG.
Dude, I want to take my truck out there with you! 'Course, I'll have to bring the chainsaw to widen some of those trails probably :-)
Come on down! We shall go explore the area more throughly :) Though there are some trails that are not for vehicle use per trail signage. But like that one trail I was on it said for motorcycle, quad, side by side use, but did not specifically say no vehicles, so I tried it. There are a ton of roads up there though, lots of areas to explore :)
Do you use x-mode/Traction most of the time or just in technical passes?
Mostly just on technical stuff, and steep, slick down hills.
