What are the absolute must-have off-road mods for an Outback Wilderness that actually improve clearance and protection without totally wrecking the gas mileage? I’ve been running Subies for over a decade and usually just stick with better tires and maybe some skid plates but I took my new 2024 Wilderness out to the San Juan Mountains last weekend and honestly the factory setup felt a bit limited on some of the rockier trails.
I am trying to keep the build under 3k for now since I just bought the car. Should I look into a mild lift even though it has the factory 9.5 inches or just go for better rock sliders first because I almost smashed my rocker panels on a ledge near Silverton. I dont want to go overboard and ruin the ride quality either...
Go with LP Aventure for your sliders first. I have their gear and honestly it works well. No complaints so far since they don't ruin the ride quality at all.
