We wheeling with the family today in the TJ & my buddy brought his fam in his 4-Runner. Went up to about 9k feet, rode the ridge, & dove down through some pretty tight technical stuff to get to a few ponds & let the kids get dirty. As we were packing it up to leave this guy & gal hanging out by what looked to be a late-ish model Legacy wagon asking if we would wait for a sec so they can get packed up & ride out of the rim with us. We said sure, hung out for ten minutes & began the trek out of this bowl system with the Subi behind us.
Me & my pal had it in 4L just crawling up over rocks without much of a problem, but we had to keep hopping out to help this Subaru stay on the right line, get around rocks (it was really rocky) & manage the ruts so he didn't get more than one wheel up in the air.
At one point I got out & walked to the back to see what's going on & this Subaru is just shredding his front wheels trying to get around a pretty decent obstacle that he definitely would have gotten hung up on. I asked the guy if it was AWD because his rear wheels were just sitting there, but he said he didn't know. I tossed my tow strap out & attached it to my buddy's 4-Runner, he was able to get him up & over until he got around.
Is that a thing with Subi's? I've never owned one & don't a lot about about them, I just thought their whole gimmick was the symmetrical AWD thing.
