Yeah its not necessary but its easier and more stable. Its not a perfect fit on the Yakima but a creative trip to the hardware store fixed that.That rotopax mount is genius. I'm going to have to give that a try.

Haha. Well my plans have always been to to do an in-skin rear bumper with a swingout and hitch. In the meantime I also considered rigging my spare to sit vertical against the side in the back. Like you see in a lot of SUV's.Have you brain stormed any alternatives to mounting a full size spare on the hitch? I can't think of any route other than the Wilco, and I'm too stubborn at the moment to change my whole camping setup to work around the tire.

I'm going the Wilco route. It's currently on back order but I should have it by mid to late May. I'll be sure to check in here when it finally arrives. I ordered the Hitchgate Solo High-Clearance with the Rotopax/Hi-lift Jack accessory. I also considered the custom "in-bumper" application, but ultimately decided against the project as there was too much else on my plate before we head out on the OBDR in early July, and I wanted to clear up more space on my Yakima rack. I can always sell it when my schedule clears up.Have you brain stormed any alternatives to mounting a full size spare on the hitch?

To be honest I had just got them mounted in the hopes I'd get time to wire them along with the two additional matching lights going there and a 30" curved double row on the rack. Alas I have no time haha. Black Oak is routinely ranked as a top tier brand so I have zero concerns about output. To run 4 of them on that bar I needed to purchase clamp mounts. Those lights are pretty heavy and they didn't budge this weekend so I suspect they never will.How do you like the Black Oak lights? I think that is the perfect look on the Outback. Curious if they are bright enough and if you had to do anything custom to mount them.

Hahaha. Check out the MtnRoo Mid-Atlantic group on Facebook. That's where everyone is posting pictures. Here's a few that I grabbed.I don't lie to my friends, so I'll tell you that I'm miiiiiiiiiildly disappointed at the lack of visual evidence of this spectacular gathering! [emoji6]
Seeing as we see about to land our Volvos in Bald Eagle in a few short weeks, could you direct me to an instagram account or two of your Subaru brethren who have more pics to offer such that I might lurk around and suss it out?

I saw @FozRoamer Switch-Pros set up earlier this year and it's really slick setup. I hate my wiring already and I only have two aux lights. Bluetooth ftw.In the middle of all of this I changed my mind on how I was going to wire everything and decided to go with a Switch-Pros 8100 so it'll be a little bit before everything it lit.

Haha. It's a long trip but it'd be great if you did join us sometime. We don't discriminate against wagons haha.Thanks man!
I'm tempted to complain more. "Something something where da action shots at?" But I'll keep a lid on it and watch mountain roo mid-Atlantic for more.
I might have to come out with y'all simply for the purposes of proper documentation
Yeah I recognized almost immediately that it was going to be worth it in the long run. Should be here tomorrow.I saw Switch-Pros set up earlier this year and it's really slick setup. I hate my wiring already and I only have two aux lights. Bluetooth ftw.
