Chase's Vision for Flat 4 Offroad!

Hey! Chase here, and as the new sole owner of Flat 4 Offroad, I wanted to take a moment to tell you a bit about myself, the brand, and my vision moving forward. But first, I need to give a massive thank you to Austen for starting this incredible company and bringing me on board back in the day. Without his vision and dedication, none of this would have been possible, and I truly appreciate everything he’s done.

As many of you might already know, I’ve been obsessed with cars—particularly Japanese brands—pretty much my whole life. From the moment I could drive, I’ve always been modifying, and building cars. The first car I purchased was a 2004 Subaru STI, and that car didn’t just mark the start of my passion for Subaru—it also marked the start of my YouTube journey.

Fast forward 8 years, my YouTube channel has become a huge part of my life, and it’s played a big role in where I am today. With 30,000 subscribers and almost 2 million views, I’ve learned a ton about content creation, business development, and what it means to truly connect with a community. All of these experiences are what led me to join Flat 4 Offroad in 2021, managing creative and operations. Many of the changes you’ve seen in the company since then were born out of my ideas, and honestly, that’s just the tip of the iceberg for what’s to come!

The Vision for Flat 4 Offroad: What’s Next?

With full ownership of Flat 4 Offroad, I’m incredibly excited about the future. I have two main goals for the brand, and they are:

• Supporting the Adventure Community – Not just here in Alberta, but across all of Canada.
  The first goal is all about fostering an even stronger connection with our community. At Flat 4 Offroad, we’re not just selling parts—we’re creating experiences and building a community of like-minded adventurers. Moving forward, we’ll be ramping up our support for local events, trail runs, and off-road organizations. We want to continue creating impactful content that not only helps you build the ultimate adventure vehicle but also helps us connect with all of you on a deeper level. I also plan on starting even more Flat 4 Offroad events and meetups—creating opportunities for us all to get together, share our knowledge, and enjoy the outdoors.

• Becoming the Go-To Destination for Adventure-Ready Crossovers – Especially for Subaru owners.
  The second goal is about scaling our e-commerce platform. We want to make it easier than ever for Canadian adventure-seekers to get their hands on the gear they need to build the perfect adventure-ready Subaru. This means adding more products to our online store, offering nationwide shipping, and building relationships with even more trusted brands. Right now, our installs will continue to be mobile first, but down the road, I envision Flat 4 Offroad having a dedicated location—a space where we can support our customers even more and offer hands-on services.

Of course, this journey won’t be easy, and there will be challenges along the way. But with your support, I know we can achieve great things together. Whether it’s purchasing parts from us, spreading the word, or just joining us on an event—we’re grateful for your involvement. And remember, even if you don’t see certain parts listed on our site, feel free to reach out—we probably will still be able to get them for you!

If you’ve purchased from us before or worked with us, leaving a review would be hugely appreciated. Reviews are incredibly helpful for new customers who are deciding whether or not to trust us with their builds, and your feedback means the world to us.

I’m beyond excited about what lies ahead for Flat 4 Offroad and can’t wait to share this next chapter with you. As always, if you have any questions, suggestions, or just want to say hi—don’t hesitate to reach out to me directly. Let’s make the future of adventure-ready Subarus in Canada something truly special.

Thanks for reading, and I’ll see you out on the trails!
