Wagonofdoom - 2015 Outback build

[freshlikesushi]

Just realized, my car is the most popular build thread of 2015 in the "other vehicles" category on Expedition Portal! The next highest view count (behind my 53k since 5/2/15) is an izuzu started 4/24/15 with 11,700. is also the 11th highest in replies with 165. Nothing even close from 2015 in that department

Love what you are doing with the subi. Wonder about where you mounted the spare on the swing out ( I understand keeping it close to the hinge to reduce stress on the hinge) , how does it affect visibility ( cant tell if there is a backup cam). I just think of looking over my right shoulder to clear or backup. I usually put anything vision reducing behind the driver side when packing.

Had a WRX hatch and loved it ( the dogs didn't ) now have a pro4x X terra that the dogs love. Call it. My Minniebago ( set up to sleep in when camping) .

Subbed to the sub I thread cause I like you you think outside the box ( they never let me out of the box

It has a rear view camera. majority of it is unobscured, so its actually not that bad. haven't had any issues with driving and mirrors. it does block a little bit, but it is what it is
