Haven't used them at all, but maybe try arb dealer https://warrnambooloffroad.com.au/ for the dual battery/nudge bar combo.

Subaru extreme make sump guards which are incredibly easy to install yourself and can come by mail.

Geez, 2015 Foz is still pretty new... That means there's not a great deal of aftermarket stuff around. In general there's not a lot off the shelf for Subarus, so you may struggle with some things you mentioned:

Nudge or Bull Bars, have a look at Subaxtreme website. You may need to send them an email for 2015, but they should have something that fits as well as sump guards. Other options are all overseas, like primitive racing.

Dual batteries you'll be trail blazing, but it's do-able... Suggest you place the second battery in the boot.

Drawers: drifta kitchens should be able to help

Suspension upgrades: subtle solutions and sumo parts (both in the USA). I don't think king springs have got lifted springs available for anything after 2008, but there may be someone else working on something, try ironman and dobinson (even though some people had problems with them here).

But don't get put off by the lack of parts available. Half the fun of modding a Subaru is having to work hard to find solutions to these problems.

Good luck and use the forums, they're a wealth of knowledge!

Pedro.

If you are DIY, depends what you are starting with, if anything. I found it best - for me - under the passenger seat, but I already had the AGM battery. At least it was reasonably secure there and didn't take up "premium space".

Regarding charging, be also aware that your new Foz will have a "smart" charge control system, and they don't properly cater for second batteries.
