How tough is YOUR Truck, SHTF and you need to boogie, can you?

Had one of those fiberglass jobbers, Light and 10'' grips on the rear would get you hit behind the head by mud clods in 2nd gear, Would climb a sugar cane hill no problem or skid on to the mud as it had belly-pans!

 

2016 Subaru forester (AWD) with 1" lift and slightly larger than stock tires. I added an engine compartment skid plate because I kept losing the stock plastic one. Angle of approach sucks but I could rip off the front plastic thing in a pinch. I've done that on steep gravel hills a couple of times accidentally already.

Not an off-road beast or racecar, but it'll do in a median, cow pasture, or front yard. I'm a pretty good driver.

 

Packed up to leave after a week away hunting….

 

Do you have the extra fuel tank built in?

 

…..not on this one. My previous did. That gave me 145 litres (95 plus 50) this one has a single main tank of 130litres from the factory. I do want to put a 70 or 75 litre aux tank in but it’s a bit of work. It’s easier to change out the factory 130litre tank for a 180litre version. But that puts all the weight behind the rear axle where I don’t want it.

The long wheel base version (78 Series Troopcarrier) of mine has two 90litre tanks as standard.
