Nomad Grappler Mud Test Matthew Heiskell 2022-06-10 | I've tested them in the dry, wet, snow, gravel, dirt, and finally in the mud. They did so well in the mud that I sold my KO2s when I got home. These tires feel like they were specifically designed for Subarus! They are lighter and more efficient. They are also quieter and more comfortable on the pavement. The amazing thing is that they are still extremely capable off road. Mine are 245/65R17 so they are wider and taller than stock. My wheels are 17x7 Enkei RPF1 with +45mm of off-set. This is a google maps link to the start of the trail. There are 3 free primitive camp sites right at the start. Make sure that your directions have you approaching from the south, otherwise you'd have to drive the whole trail to get to the camp sites. Remember to leave it better than you found it! https://goo.gl/maps/ARkGHfaBDjPWBmeC7
New Wheels and Tires #shorts #nomadgrappler #enkei Matthew Heiskell 2022-03-04 | Every pound of wheel-tire weight reduction is the same as reducing the overall vehicle weight by 20lbs. By loosing 19 pounds at each corner, the car "feels" 1,520 pounds lighter. This is because wheel-tire weight not only moves down the road, but it also has to be "spun-up" and "spun-down" when you accelerate and brake.

Subaru Forester Mud Test Matthew Heiskell 2021-10-23 | Subaru does a great job managing traction. All the wheels are spinning together 99% of the time. There were a couple tricks that we didn't use too. We could have deflated the tires down to 15 PSI or 1 bar. We could have also tried disabling traction control to get more wheel spin. X-mode was enabled the whole time time.

Subaru Forester Testing Puddle Depth #Shorts Matthew Heiskell 2021-09-10 | I've been surprised by some deep, soft bottomed ones that make me more cautious now. I'm also afraid of hitting a massive submerged rock. I guess that after I went through I should have backed up and hit it with some speed to make some more entertaining footage. . . next time!
Subaru Forester VS Steep Hill Matthew Heiskell 2021-08-06 | I think this is very close to my Subaru's limit. My 2" larger tires increase my minimum final gear ratio, but they provide 1" of extra ground clearance, worth it. The new wilderness edition has 4.44 diff gears that will significantly improve its climbing capabilities. Nevertheless, Subarus are sufficiently capable soft roaders. No one buys a Subaru to do the Rubicon Trail, but it is nice to know that you can make it to your favorite trailhead or campsite even if it is washed out or muddy. I think that Subaru strikes the perfect balance between off road capability and daily drivability.

Easy Hook-On Awning SK Forester Matthew Heiskell 2021-02-28 | These two designs are for the SK Forester, but I'm sure that you could make something similar for any car with a roof rail.https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4553377https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4530201https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0161KT3PAhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GYJ711ZTo mount to ANY vehicle, you could attached these brackets with strong magnetic feet to the back of the awning: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07M63Q851The Danchel hooks fit these Yescom awnings too:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075LD3Z3XI recommend the smallest 4.6'x6.6' awning. It is just a bit smaller than my Danchel awning. The largest Yescom awning is WAY too big. The medium size awning might be too big also.
Getting Stuck in the Snow and Complaining about the CVT Matthew Heiskell 2021-02-28 | The Wilderness Edition has since addressed this problem. An Achilles' heel is a weakness in spite of overall strength. I think that is the prefect description of the CVT. The forester is a very capable vehicle, but a lower gear would make a huge difference off road.

Forester Off Road in Deep Snow Matthew Heiskell 2021-02-22 | Sorry about the squeaking, my spare tire was rubbing on something in the back of the car. Unfortunately, the audio recorder picked it up really well. I like the result of combining drone video with remote audio, but next time I will be sure that everything is quietly secured. It is a 2019 Forester with Ironman suspension, 245/65/17 KO2s, and Motegi Racing MR118 wheels. My friend and I made the winch bumper.
Deep Snow Drifting Subaru Forester Matthew Heiskell 2021-02-14 | I disabled traction control, but Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) was still running in the background. You can't disable that system unless you pull a fuse, but then the car gets mad, and you get an email from Subaru. I'm serious haha. But I like having VDC because as soon as you let off the gas, it kicks in and quickly wrangles the car under control by braking individual wheels based on the situation. This sounds like ABS is "growling". VDC is not fool proof though, so make sure that you have a large, safe area to test your vehicle. It is a good idea to learn how your vehicle responds when traction is lost. You don't want your first slide to be accidental and on a public road. Also, keep your speed low while you are learning.Ironman suspension, 245/65/17 KO2s, and Motegi Racing MR118 wheel.

Subaru Forester Off road Ironman Trail Test Matthew Heiskell 2021-01-01 | Testing the long travel suspension on Spaas Creek Road in Kentucky. The tires are 245/65/17 KO2s. The wheels are Motegi Racing MR118. No sway bars for max articulation and a more comfortable ride. The springs are a little stiffer to accommodate more gear and prevent saggy butt when heavily loaded (this also helps the road handling when the sway bars are disconnected or removed). It has the Primitive Racing triple skid plates. The winch bumper was DIY. I was in no way compensated for this video. Thanks to Alex for filming. Feel free to ask any questions.
