This bar looks great and was a cinch to install. Great product and fits perfectly on my Outback.
Works great, looks great, and was not to hard to install. But the little 3d printed piece that is provided to go under the fender left for more to be desired. So I modeled and 3d printed my own version that covers more and helps anchor my mudflaps where there were no longer a spot to screw them in. I uploaded the model on Printables, just look up "Rockgards for CAtuned Rock Silders". They might break off after one rock hit, but that is okay because I can just print more.
Sliders are top quality, and install was fairly simple. I would highly recommend purchasing a quality rivet nut tool though. The tool that comes in the kit became damaged during install and caused one of the rivet nuts to spin and the tool got stuck, and I (thankfully) was able to use vice grips to get enough purchase on the top of the nut to get the tool removed. Also, when I purchased an actual tool, it sped up the install time by a factor of about 3.
Aside from that one hiccup with the included tool, everything was great! Bolts all lined up with a little love from some vice grips. I think they are the best looking Subaru sliders on the market , and they are super solid. I would purchase these again in a heartbeat.
Additionally, Adventure Rig Shop was very prompt in replying to all my questions and emails leading up to this purchase. Quality customer service. Highly recommended!
Lonseal Lonridge is the industry standard for quality and aesthetics. I got a great deal on the pre-cut floor for my Sprinter 170 at Adventure Rig Shop. Highly recommend
This is a solid built product but the small differences between the 5th gen outback and the 6th gen is just enough that it won't fit the 5th gen Outback. I modified a few parts to have a better fitment but at the end of the day it wasn't going to work out. Was thoroughly excited to have a practical storage shelf in my rig, but thats ok. The team at Adventure Rig were very helpful in delaing with this issue and helped issue a refund and would hope they can make a storage shelf for the 5th Gen Outback or more items for the 5th Gen.
