boot can store side by side with the hide still able to cover everything:
Off road modifications
better wheels and tyres for off road
the stock tyres are puncture prone, have poor wet weather grip and blunt steering response in the dry
as a minimum buy a set of all terrain tyres
improve under carriage protection
the limited roof rack weight capacity
recovery equipment
lacking locking diffs, there's a real chance the Outback could become stuck in soft sand, mud or similar
snatch strap and D shackles for towing
shovel to help get out of bogs
air compressor to inflate tyres
traction assist devices (eg. mat, wheel block, etc)
roof pods
under 40-41cm height for low garages with the Outback
