- In this episode, you are gonna see how a dream came true ... HOW WE BUILT THIS AWESOME SPARE TIRE CARRIER and JERRYCAN HOLDER for my SF Subaru Forester.
I wanted this for a very long time !
This carrier is the perfect addition for my OVERLAND RIG with its two swing out arms, leaving the back of the trunk empty and allowing me to bring some extra fuel or water for longer trips.
And seriously ... It looks SO COOL !
Oh ! and by the way ... THIS is the FIRST MID EUROPE OVERLAND BOUND JOINED PROJECT ! So, it's even more awesome !
MANY MANY THANKS TO ROBERT FROM DRAGON RIDERS TRAVEL FOR MAKING THIS POSSIBLE !
Show him some love here :

Special thanks to Djebel Xtreme aswell for providing me the jerrycan and the jerrycan holder !

I would like to also request that you consider publishing the plans. Your choice of the dual carrier rack and use of existing bumper are terrific ideas. The impression I have of a nearly factory installed design. Love it!
That is for sure a very clean look, exactly what I wanted !
Plans are gonna be difficult to make now that everything is on the car 😞
@@ALNSMOVERLAND I'll be showing this to my Father an off roader and welder/shop guy. He will be interested in this build and off road video .
Pretty cool..i would add a 'plate' that flips up as a mud guard when up and a table top when flipped down.
Really dig that, nice to see fellow overland bound members working together and sharing a killer project
That's the spirit ! Thank you, I'm glad you liked it
Great job..you put back the original bumper which preserves the originality of the car !!!!
Good design greta idea !
Thanks 🙏
This is absolutely BRILLIANT. This has to be one of the nicest looking and best-conceived designs I've ever seen. I love how you've preserved the original lines of the car. Perfectly functional, but so tasteful and understated compared to the common approach (in the U.S. at least) of replacing the entire bumper cover with steel tubes (which ends up revealing a bunch of ugly stuff that's normally hidden). I also love how snugly everything fits right up against your rear hatch rather than hanging several inches out as do many of the other solutions I've seen. Wow. Really amazingly nice work.
My only question: I saw the lock on the jerry can, but any sort of anti-theft system planned to keep the spare tire from walking away?
Many thanks ! I'm very glad to hear all of that !
And we really think the same way ... ahaha
I wanted to keep the stock bumper and to make the less cut possible in it. I also wanted to keep everything centered and tight against the hatch for weight distribution. I also wanted (I wanted a lot of things ahaha) to keep the taillights clear for obvious safety reasons.
All of this made the build a bit more difficult and it's a tight fit to open the hatch. But we made it and everything work (and look !) nice.
So I'm very happy with it 😉
Oh and yes, at the moment, I have nothing to secure the spare. And I guess that anti theft lug nuts are not enough ... So I'm gonna fix this quick
ALNSM OVERLAND for my spare carrier I made a tube that runs through the wheel and a trailer hitch bar lock. Worked really well
Yeah, very strict law enforcement with very serious punishment for criminals.
Thank you for posting this! This is exactly what I want to do to my SG9. It came out great!!
Thanks mate ! I hope it's gonna help you a bit 😉
that turned out great. im planning on doing the same for my impreza wagon
Have fun 🙏
Very nice job guys
Thank you my friend 🙏
Looks great mate! Been meaning to do this myself for ages as well haha
Thanks ! It's a game changer 👊 and your foz will look so nice with a tire carrier on the back 😍
This is awesome video i ever seen, i like the way you did not replace original back pumper
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it 🙏
Amazing idea with original bumper. Cause, some people use costume bumper to make a tire carrier. You're fantastic
Thanks! I really wanted to keep the original bumper for a clean look 👍
Yeah, that's a clean look & can cut weights rather than using a costume bumper
That's good work, Jordan and Robert!
Your Forester now have a strong back side like a frame truck!
Thanks you my friend 🙏 Yes that's really strong now 💪
ALNSM OVERLAND I hope we are meeting some day, my brother!
It looks really beutiful. Thank you for showing us the process.
Thanks ! 🙏
Your friend is an excellent craftman, respect.
Oh yes! He can do anything heheh
Great simple design. 👍
Yeees ! 🙌
That looks killer! I love that the design manages to preserve the original bumper, instead of having to replace the entire thing with a much heavier fully-fabricated bumper.
Thank you! I'm very happy with how we manage to do that!
@@ALNSMOVERLAND do you know how much everything weighs?
The whole carrier is around 30kg (65lbs) which is (I guess) in the norm
@@ALNSMOVERLAND wow, that seems super reasonable. Considering that's sprung weight, that's nothing. 😃
Nicely done! The Foz looks even more beautiful now
Thanks ! It looks very good like this 😍 I'm so stocked ahaha
This is perfect! now you can mount a recovery gear box on the back like the one from off road in mind
Thats awesome dude. Good job
Many thanks mate 🙏
so many ideas going through my head now for my build, excellent work, thank you for the video.
You are very welcome, thank you for your comment !
I'm glad the video gave you some ideas 🙏
@@ALNSMOVERLAND are you using 2x3 steel tubing correct
Excelente idea.

Greetings from North Texas.
Thanks mate! 🙏
This is beautiful I love it. I'm doing the same to my impreza.
Thanks! Good luck with it'
Awesome stuff mate! 🤙
Thanks ! I'm so stocked 😇
@@ALNSMOVERLAND I'm still saving up for mine lol
Awesome! Would be very glad to have such a nice device for my rig. Safe travels!
I'm so happy to have it now ! functional and also looks awesome !
Thanks !
that turned out really nice, love it ...
Many thanks 👊
I have an 03 Forester and I am planning on a similar bumper, but I’m incorporating a 2” receiver hitch. My Forester will be a Swiss Army knife as I want it to be a overlander/daily/track car, it has to be modular. I already have a Land Rover D1 build that will ultimately be my overlander.
Very nice ! The receiver hitch are not very popular here that's a shame, it's a great system ... Thank you for your comment and good luck with your build !
Love it! I'm going to have to try and make one for my wife's Outback 😊
Go for it ! 👊
wow, merci pour l'idée!
That is a sweet ride! Nice job on the tire carrier.
Many thanks !
Dude! Sick ass rig! Love the custom work. I’ve got a crosstrek. Thinking about doing this to mine!
Many thanks ! It's so good to finally put the spare off the trunk 🙌
Really very cool, brother! Awesome video, it looks great on there 😁✌
Thanks brother ! You are watching older videos now hehe !
@@ALNSMOVERLAND I haven't seen all of em, so catching up 👍
@@SmallADVentures1973 Awesome! Enjoy then 😁🙏
Looks great! Bet it's nice not having to deal with the spare in the trunk like I do.
Also, I am not very observant! I didn't realize you had painted your Forester. I assumed that the Tan color was just an option for Euro cars. Similar to how the brilliant brown Outbacks was a limited run.
Yes ! My trunk looks huuugue now ahaha
And yes, it took you some times but got it ! ahaha I repainted my foz by myself in desert tan 👊 way better like this !
Nice job guys! Looks good!
Thanks buddy 👊
That turned out great man
Oh yeah 😁
Older post, but still Excellent!
Thanks 🙏
Great job mate super stoked about your rig keep up the good work and the good videos and we love to watch vides me and my family
That is so awesome that you watch my videos with your family ! 🙌
Thanks a lot 😉
Your welcome my friend keep up the good work !!!!
Now its even more badass!
Oh yeah !
Very nicely done👊🏻💥
Thanks! 😁🙏
Wow so kool idea can you send me the measurements n how to buil one for Subaru Forster
All I have is this video! No plans... You can get inspiration from it 😉
Looks awesome! Does it rattle around at all?
One side is rattling a bit, (because of the lock itself) but I'm gonna fix that
@@ALNSMOVERLAND got ya. Sweet rig man!
wow...that's nice to see...love it...looks good...I'll do that one...!
Thank you!
Great build!
Thanks! 🙏
Sooo good man, I’m telling everyone 😂
Wanna see some pics of it with the boot open too 😉🤙🏽
Ahaha check my last video or IG ! I still can open the trunk 😂😂
how flippin good!!!
Heheh thanks ! 🙏
Yeaaa. I love it. Looks nice. Done properly. Usefull. I knew You going to make yourselfe one.! I May ask some friend to make me one.!
Many thanks my friend ! Go for it and build one with your friends aswell 🙌
That looks really good Jordan, great job done guys!
The tyre looks awesome on the rear! The Foz is looking even more rugged 😃
Well done to everyone involved.
OB#17170
Thank you a lot ! And yes, it's practical AND stylish 😉
Fantastic ! Love dyi projects , just did my roof rack for the 4runner Couldn't justify 1200 bucks for a sturdy one when i can weld and am decent enough at fabrication to hurt myself. Next will be this exact same project after looking at the prices for bumper tire carrier for it . Only thing i saw that you didn't do was use primer before painting ? Looks great and sturdy bravo .
Thanks ! And you are right ... You better build it yourself 👊
I used very tough graffiti spray cans (I also repainted the whole car with it) and you don't need primer with that.
I just put a first layer of anti rust stuff on the carrier (the part under the bumper) to prevent any rust issues in the futur
Got ya , well like i said excellent job and it means more when you do it yourself .
Wow jordan! That thing looks seriously neat! Very well made. I have a similar design swinging arm like that, but mine is bolted on the the tow hitch for easy removal. And it carries a large barbecue instead of a spare tire :p
Nice video as always man
Ahaha a BBQ, that's pretty useful too ! 🍗🍖😍
Mine is also just bolted for an easy removal but bolted directly to the car 😉
Thank you for your comment 👍
Dude this is awesome!
Thanks! 🙏🔥
Very nice I like all your detail work and you’re good fabrication
Thanks mate!
Zut! J'étais persuadé que tu avais démonté le pare-choc pour le remplacer par un modèle offrant un meilleur angle d'attaque! Perdu! 😆
En tout cas, c'est du super matos! Un très beau boulot de fait, le rendu est super! En plus d'être pratique, le caractère baroudeur de ton forester est plus qu'affirmé, bravo! 👏
Merci beaucoup 🙏
Mais oui, c'est raté, le pc d'origine est toujours là ! Je voulais garder le côté stock 😬 et puis en vrai, ce qui limite vraiment l'angle de sortie c'est l'attelage ... mais il protège bien aussi !
@@ALNSMOVERLAND Oui, j'avais oublié de prendre en compte l'attelage! Une histoire de compromis en somme! 😃
I must say that your tailgate hitch is so much better looking, less materials used which means it weighs less and quick n easy open/close operation. You two should patent your idea. Top job you guys. I'll know who to ask if I want one lol...
Thanks again John! Look like you watched and enjoyed a lot of my videos lately! Thank you so much 🙏 feel free to share them as well 👊
Donald from Softroading the West sings your praises as he's also an avid follower.
Jordan that's looks great and well designed!
Can you make a video on a diff lock switch? Also for the 2.0 Ej20 engines, DIY spark plug change
Thank you ! Sadly I don't have a diff lock 😞 (I wish ahaha) and I already changed my spark plugs without filming ... But it's not very difficult 😉
Look at this one: th-cam.com/video/6AoEm-CSa74/w-d-xo.html
Nice job, so cool
Thanks 👊
Really a great project. I've been thinking about something like this for my Jeep Cherokee but this is probably a little beyond my fabrication abilities.
Thanks! I've been very lucky to be able to work with my friend Robert who knows how to weld!
I have watched this video about 5 times, I have never welded but i really want to try this, thank you for the confidence. Can you share where you got the hinges and latches?
Thank you for you comment! Hinges are from A to Z Fabrication and latches from our local hardware store 😉
really nice..great job
Thanks!
I am curious about the pivots you used to mount the arms. Are they front stub axles?
What is the wall thickness you used for the square tube?
No, they are dedicated hinge kit from AtoZ Fabrication 😉 we used 3 or 5mm, I don't remember
@@ALNSMOVERLAND Thanks I will check the out =)
Friggin amazing work! One question that I wish I knew the answer to is why the rear triangle behind the spare tire mount was made so high up on the top point. Its hard to tell but it looks like the top point goes higher than the center of the hub of the spare wheel. Seems like any length of metal above the center line of the hub would be unecesary but I'm sure there's a legitimate reason for that being there. The triangle mount its self with the three anchor points to the swing arm looks plenty strong so not sure why the extra length was added to the tire mount.
Either way it looks really nice and is my favorite mod to your Foz so far! keep it up!
Thanks mate!
There is absolutely a reason for it!
And it's that we screw up the first time and the spare wheel was way too high and we couldn't open the hatch anymore 😂
So we lowered the mounting point of the wheel and didn't cut the extra metal on top 😉
Well done!
Thanks you !
BAD ASS
Thanks sir 👊
really awesome!
Thanks 🙏
Ah man thats so nice. Would love to have that for my Forester. What tire size do you have that it doesnt fit in the original spare wheel location? I will soon go for 205/75r15 General Grabbers AT3's. Hope I can make it fit. Maybe deflated.
My BFG KO2 are 215/75/15. And my spare tire well is full of gear anyway ... I really needed that !
Hey Awesome build. I'm wondering what you used for the main hinges?
I think it's mentioned somewhere here alnsmoverland.com/overland-journal/subaru-forester-spare-tire-carrier/ 😉
Nice job ! Now you're ready for the Chapka. I didn't see you open the trunk, does everything clear up ?!
I was wondering the same thing. Is everything works?
Ahahaha yes Vincent, I still can open my trunk, I need it !
BUT ! You are right to ask ! This is a tight fit, especially with how we made it. Because I wanted to keep my taillights clear (safety first) and keep the mass on the middle of the car. So the arms are really not far away from the trunk.
But everything work fine 😉
For sure ! 😉
nice spare tire carrier
Thanks mate !
That looks awesome! What size are your BFG again? Keep up the great work.
Many thanks mate ! They are 215/75/15 😉
Awesome job‼️
Thank you!
Nice job.were did you buy the bearing holders?
I like to see the carrier with my own eyes .
Thanks ! The hinge kit is from AtoZ Fabricarion 😉
Did you weld the tire carrier directly to the spindle mount?
Yes I did
Nice work! :)
Thank youuu !
Hi, great build, i love it! I want to make for my forester but i have one question , at 03:03min to 03:09min of the video welder weld something in tha chassis of the car but the frame for the spare tire is removeable so what is he weldind there ?
Greeting!
You should draw up the plans for it. I'm sure there are a lot of us that have older Forester that would like a bumper like that.
You are right, I didn't thought about that ...
@@ALNSMOVERLAND I have a 02 and have been looking for a bumper like you have made. Keep up the videos.
Yep, I have an ‘04 that will need this.
@@ALNSMOVERLAND Take some measurements, I have just acquired the steel to do a swing bar for my 2000 SF. Lets make up a plan...
Looks Great! Definatelny I'm going to build ssth similiar for my T4 syncro :)
Yes ! I love the look on van too 👊
That is very cool!
Thank you very much!
OB 11964. Great job!
Thanks mate! 🙏
this is inspiring me to rig up one on my 01 foz. i just started to learn to weld on my own as well. so, this project will take a lot of time if i decided to tackle it. btw, really nice setup. love it. on a different note, i need to get me a pair of etnies shoes. used to rock them as well. haha
Awesome! I always love to hear this kind of feedback 🙏 Good luck with your build and keep it fun! 👊
Man that turned out great. Wish I had the tools and skills to make one for my outback. But unfortunately I don't lol. Oh and btw this was recommended a year later of this build.. A year later! I subbed to your channel. Great content and love what you've done to your Forester
Thanks for the support 🙏 happy new year 🎉
@@ALNSMOVERLAND happy new year!
I wish there was a video for a spare tyre carrier on a Subaru Outback BR
The same design probably work 😉
I need one for my 05 xt!!
That's for sure 👊
Very nice. What spring rate are you using on the rear of your Foz to support the weight of the tire and fuel?
Thanks! I'm running HD Pedders springs I don't know their ratings
I love the spare tire carrier I wish I had something like that for my Crosstrek I know there is the Wilco hitch adapter but you're is far better, no relocating the license plate or light and keeping the original bumper it looks great and thanks for keeping the videos coming.
The wilco is not the best but it's a quick and easy solution ! Anyway thank you for your comment ! And I really do my best to keep the video coming every weeks 👊
Brian Mansfield it's kinda hard on the treks to keep the license plate in the same location. When I built my bumper for my trek I couldn't figure out a way to keep it there. Relocated it to on my bumper with a folding mount. It's on my IG @chris.trek
Ahah i have a Forester just like yours in project in my head, thats funny i just discoverd yoir channel.
There might be in somme years 2 quite similar forester in France
It would be a nice occasion to meet 😉
@@ALNSMOVERLAND yeah for sure ;)
And in the land of Oz (Foz).
Very nicely done! With my profession of being a fabricator this has really inspired me to start doing some stuff myself.
Awesome ! Go for it, it's a really nice add for an overland rig 👊
How much total you spent on it? Awesome design!
Around 200€ I guess. Most of this comes from the specific hinges I imported from the US
I need one of them for my forester.
Yes, you need one ! 👊
You should copyright your plans and sell the design to a manufacturer.
Fund your overlanding trips :-)
looking heavy spare tire carrier! is it damage car body? what is the disadvantages?
Do you have somo more details on the gas tank carrier?
Please share it, I like to make on of those cause is very compact.
In advance thanks, greetings from Sonora Mexico
Some *
Hey Mike, thanks for your comment.
The gas tank mount itself came with the gas tank, we didn't build it
Cool Build :)
Thanks 👊
Jordan, I've watched this a few times now and that rear carrier certainly is the cats whiskers (UK slang for excellent). How ,one did it take your friend to fabricate that carrier approximately ?
Thank you for teaching me new words! 😁 But I didn't really understood your question? Are you asking about time, money...?
@@ALNSMOVERLAND Yes sorry, how long and what would it cost to general public ? That slang term i used is in actual fact "The dogs bo##ocks" but I can't say/spell it out anymore than I have but you get the idea... lol. P.s. a bit crude I know.
@@ALNSMOVERLAND just put 2 x LL in place of the hashtags and there you have it but don't repeat it in the wrong company.
@@ALNSMOVERLAND Jordan, sorry for the proverbial slang references. The Cats whiskers is a polite version of the dogs ########. Im sure every country has its crude sayings. If I've offended then I'm sorry.
No worries John!
We did that in a weekend.
I paid a lot for the proper hinges which came from the US and I think it was under 300€ total. I'm pretty sure with DIY hinges you can to it for 100€ or less!
Man, that thing looks GOOD brother!!! 😁 I would love to have similar on our FJ (Cruiser), would be lots nicer, especialyl with the extra ability to haul gas cans (the FJ is a thirsty beast, and has only a 16 gallon or so sized fuel tank, LOL!). Great video, my friend! 👍😁
Ahaha yes extra fuel is always nice with our thirsty beasts 😂 many thanks for the kind comment my friend 🙏
@@ALNSMOVERLAND you're very welcome, brother, wishing you and yours a great weekend over there (we'll try and have one as well over here) 😁
man, I like this awesome 💪💪💪💪💪
Thanks mate! 🙏
This is great. I have been looking for ideas on DIY tire carriers and have found 2 great resources! Thanks for posting.
Quick question, what did you use to paint the steel?
Hey ! I'm glad it help you for your project 🙏 I used the same paint I used for the whole car : Montana 94. It's a very strong graffiti spray paint. For the carrier itself (the part under the bumper) I added one layer of antirust product 😉
@@ALNSMOVERLAND Thanks!
Great job.Is it possible to Mount a spare wear tire on tailgate of my Tiguan 2008?thanks
Everything is possible with welding 😁
Hello my friend, I'm watching all your videos and hope you doing well.
Really interested in spare tyre carrier like yours. If you have, please can you give some advice how to do it proper. Maybe you had some drawings, or can you do a measurement? Thanks
Sincerely,
Subaru forester lover from Lithuania
Hey there! I'm glad you enjoy the content!
We made this from scratch! Without any plans. We measured up directly on the car and then built it. This is how my friend Robert works and so do I! Best way of doing it ahaha
Wonderful project and perfect results, man!!!! Question, is it sill legal in Europe to have items hanging on your car that go a further that the vehicle limits? I'm talking mainly about the wheel. Thanks in advance
Many thanks mate !
You mean the spare wheel on the back ? it's no problem
@@ALNSMOVERLAND Oh cool. Here in Argentina technically it's against the law but nobody gives a damn. But you can still get a ticket if a police guy is in bad mood
Great job really love to video!
Are those BFGoodrich Which model an size are those tires?
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks mate, they are 215/75/15 BFG KO2 😉
Nice job
Thanks mate 👊
FELICITACIONES !!! NO VI COMO ASEGURAS LOS EJES DE LOS DOS SOPORTES. SI NO TIENEN SEGUROS SE LOS PUEDEN LEVANTAR Y LLEVAR FACILMENTE.
I need one like this
Definitely !
