Some updates to the build.
Re-did the box with the help of my stepdad and reused the old rails.
Small box doesn't have slides but some metal pucks to slide on, sometimes it sticks but I call that security.
The furthest back large drawer has my recovery gear and other things I always carry.
The other top drawer was meant to be in a coffee hinge and have a stove but since the lower drawer is taller, the stove didn't fit when closed. But I can carry it elsewhere.
Still needs more paint and alignment.
I upgraded to a Iceco APL55 and using a Bluetti EB70s to run it at night. Basically the AC outlet powers the Bluetti while driving (200w charging) and it flows through to the fridge using the DC out on the Bluetti. When the truck is off the battery kicks in and runs it for about 38 hrs.
I also added the Autolynx Sway bar disconnects last weekend(FB marketplace) and my concern with stock Mojave offset, tires and suspension has been answered. I included a reference measurement for anyone else wondering what the clearance at full lock is like.
Finally to address the issue of sag with the setup I got the Airlift airbags and ran the line to a t-junction and ran it up to the fuel filler door. This position works great since my Husky air pump plugs into the front DC outlet and it keeps the mud from the cap like mounting to the bumper or other spots.

If anyone is interested, the rack and tent are up for sale, as a pair or individually. I sold the Jeep after enough money spent on tracing engine issues to no resolve.
Tent is a Tepui Foothill, includes everything i had in the box.
The rack is custom powder coated and very sturdy when bolted tot he bed and where the trail rail mounts on the side.
Rack - $700
Tent - $900
Ill post it to the sales page tomorrow when I'm motivated to take more photos.
