In this episode, we sit down with Mitch Meadows from MeLe Design Firm to talk about the Forester that’s pulling double duty as a family hauler, media chase car, and trail rig. It’s not a rally car—but it’s definitely seen rally roads. We get into how the build came together (spoiler: his wife thought it was stock), the parts it’s running, and what it’s like using a lifted LL Bean edition Subaru for everything from camping to competition support. Mitch also shares stories from the stage rally world, including the time he got a concussion mid-race and still came back for more.
