November 2024 - John D. // WASUBIE_XTREK

My name is Sherom John Dela Cruz, but most people call me John. I've been married to my wife, Carla, for 19 years (and counting) and have three beautiful children.

For more than twenty years, I have been proudly serving in the world's finest Navy and in my younger years in the Navy, I met a group of active-duty sailors who were into the JDM/import car scene. I remember when I was a little boy, I always dreamed of having my own sports car and I have been lucky enough to own several import cars since.

As time passed, my family and I began to fall in love with camping and the great outdoors. Our lifestyle became the inspiration for my Subaru Crosstrek. Currently, I have installed Thule crossbars, Yakima Load Warrior roof basket, Yakima SlimShady awning, Agency 6 shovel, molle panel and tow hooks, Rally Armor mud flaps, Diode Dynamics fog lights, Toyo A/T tires, KMC wheels, Baja Designs Squadron Pro ditch lights, Auxbeam switch panel, and of course the Rally Innovation Ultimate Light Bar with four Baja Designs XL-R Sport lights.

Future mods include a lift, upper and lower control arms, full skid plates, rock sliders, front and rear sway bars, a cold air intake, some drawers and storage, a fridge, and a set of bigger tires in the future. Can't wait to make it more capable off-roading and have more adventures with my family.
