We recently entered the Subaru market with our first line of products for the 2019-2024 Subaru Forester! We are excited to be providing solutions for our friends with Forester and have enjoyed the reception and feedback we are getting from the entire Subaru community. Thank you for sharing your interest in a variety of parts for many different Subaru models!

Our focus with making parts for the Subaru platform has been giving drivers the ability to customize their rig to meet their needs. Whether you are an avid off-roader, or a casual camper, we designed our products to make your outdoor adventures more organized and personalized.
Our company is well known for the interior molle storage panels that we have been offering for Toyota and Lexus models for years. Making these products for the Subaru Forester was a no-brainer, as these are just fantastic accessories to make your adventure more organized and secure.

Our classic rear window molle panels and molle shelf are available for the Forester, offering a large surface area to mount pouches, tools, lights, and more without just dumping them in a door pocket or letting them roll around the cargo space. Organizing your gear with these panels will make it a lot easier to keep larger items like coolers, tents, or air mattresses in the cargo area.

A new product unique to the Forester is our Rear Cargo Pocket Molles. These small molle panels fit on the side cubbies of the Forester’s cargo space, turning it into a usable storage space. Items placed in that pocket will now be kept in place, as well as protected from bulky cargo that may slide around in the rear.

Subarus are great outdoor vehicles, but there is no arguing that with a family of four, the available cargo area can shrink quite a bit. Our crossmember solution adds a ton of mounting options so you can customize your roof storage as you see fit. Whether you’re making room for the family or prepping for a multi-day solo trip, these crossmembers can help you craft the ultimate build.

Our Forester crossmembers come as a set of 5 steel-plate panels that are equipped with many mounting points for L-Track, RotoPax, and dozens of other custom solutions. Additionally, each crossmember can be removed individually if not needed. One great aspect of these crossbars is that they mount directly to the factory roof rails and do not require removing anything to install. Many roof rack solutions for the Forester require a lengthy install that includes removing interior panels and the headliner to replace the factory roof rails, which this completely avoids.
So far, the Forester crossmembers have been great for mounting RotoPax containers, awnings, lightbars, cargo boxes, and ratchet strapping gear.
If you are looking to get better lighting for your off-road adventures, our ditch brackets are a fantastic starting point. These brackets easily bolt to your hood hinges and allow you to mount from 3” light pods up to 6” lights. Ditch lights enable you to add a great amount of light to illuminate trails in dark conditions, helping to avoid obstacles, wildlife, and illuminate markers or signs. On the Forester SK these lights are extremely easy to wire and add a switch by passing the wire through the firewall grommet. We recommended cutting a hole in the center of the rubber grommet just large enough to push the wires through and re-install the grommet to avoid wire-wear, engine noise, and engine fumes.

Next week we are releasing our exterior molle panels for the Forester factory roof rails. Exterior molle panels have proven to be an excellent solution for off-roading with equipment that you would prefer outside the cabin. Many overlanders like to keep gas containers or propane tanks mounted to the exterior during their trips to keep them separated from other gear, preventing the possibility of leaks. Additionally, items that you might want to be easily accessible when you are getting out of the vehicle or camping are great to mount to these panels. Some examples we’ve seen are water tanks or hot water systems, sharp tools for clearing brush, recovery gear, and traction boards.

These panels can be installed with the Rago crossmembers, however the crossmembers are not necessary for installation. If you’d like to run the E-MSPs alone, you can do that!
We already have more Subaru products planned and we’re looking forward to hearing from you all with your suggestions. If you are interested in giving us feedback, please leave a comment or submit a product request here!

I really like the factory roof rail crossmembers. Will this product be available for the Forester Wilderness in the near future??
