I have never seen a lifted Crosstrek, but there are piles of regular ones though. I would think that the CVT and "single" speed transfer case would limit them. They are light though so that helps. Bolting a ton of underbody protection (mandatory)  isn't going to do that engine any favours and getting proper recovery points (and no not the screw in off-center eyebolt) would be a challenge.

Nice to see the StarTex interior is back, odd they took out the front camera, although the US never got one in the previous models either

You should go stick your Jeep and call him out on his sticker.   ;D

There really needs to be a delete option for some of this over the top cladding.

Body-colour wrap or choosing black paint may help...

Cladding is cheap. It's not going anywhere

That's a good point. Perhaps they should just go 100% cladding. Then we would be at Saturn again.  ;D
