Forester drawer build and trip prep

Just finished making a set of draws and getting the car ready for a trip around oz later this year in the forester. Couldn't find much info on other foresters with draws so I had to play around a bit with the brackets I made to secure the draws to the chassis and to get them to fit snug. Also put on an awning, 1inch lift in the rear, nudge bar, skid plate, Cb, spot lights and a roof top tent that I'll thow on before I go.

I can't work out how to add more then one attachment, so I'll do it this way.

Back of the draws with the spare and ark pack. Just need to replace the road tyre with a bf a/t

what sort of driving lights do you have ?

Very nice clean install on the drawers.

Is the spare bolted in place there, or do you put it on the roof for trips?

Cheers Duncan's it's actually ratchet strapped onto a couple tie down brackets I put on the back of the drawers. I'm not going to have room of the roof with the tent there so yeah it's going to stay there for the trip. I also have the original spare in the boot under the draws so hopefully I don't need use it.

Havachat the spot lights are just some cheaper 4 inch HIDs from ebay. Im pretty happy with them for the price
