After a time away im back im in the process of buying a forester to do up for a couple of trips going to fraser island next year and the kimberlys the year after.
Having a bit of trouble navagating the site cause I dont have a computer just using my phone.
If someone can point me in the right direction to see info on building a winch bar for a 98 forester a snorkel a rear bar with 2 swing arms one for a spare wheel and one for a jerry can.
And advice on a lift kit if I should buy one or build one. I use to build them for the l and my series.
Thanks
im back

Heath, it has been a long time mate! You dropped off the forum after EJing your MY sedan (?) - what's the story with that? I remember you moved house then...?
Good to hear you're back though. As for building bits and pieces - lift kit hit up Nachaluva, he's also got a thread on here about the snorkel build/install. The rear bar will be a one off - no one does DIY on these items from what I've seen
Dedman on ORS has built his own winch bar - just a tube bar with the gaps filled in using plate steel and body bog...
Nachaluva's build thread is here.
Cheers
