2021 Jeep Gladiator Mojave, 2015 Jeep Wrangler Hard Rock; 1987 Jeep Wrangler Laredo; 1988 Porsche 911, 2005 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro, 1994 Toyota Pickup 4x4. Not all at the same time.
Quite possibly the sweetest build I’ve ever seen. Tastefully done with tons of functionality. Great template for others, including myself!

I had a chance to add quick release latches to the tank brackets.

Love the mix of function and form on your build. Truly top notch.

Quick questions on the tank setup - were the brackets custom fabricated or did you start with an existing one? Is that a 10 lb tank? It's just about the exact size/space/location I want to use for my setup.

I don't know about that, There are some pretty awesome builds out there but Thanks! That was the goal, keeping form and function. At the end of the day I just build to my taste and needs.

There from air tanks that I have. I have a few left in raw aluminum and I have a few of the the latches left as well.
$25 and they are yours. The brackets will fit something around 6" diameter and when you cut and add the clamp you can get a little bit more or less out of it.

See above about the brackets, I have enough to do 2 or 3 set ups. The tank is a 5 LB tank which should get me through a weekends worth of use with my calculations.

Here is another picture from the past weekend.

I wanted also give a little bit more info on the shower/sink set up.
The Joolca nomad system is really awesome and paired with the dual ensuite makes it very versatile. We used one side as the shower and the other as a changing room/closet.

I'll probably look at making a mount for the pump to slide on to the rack just for simplicity.


Our utensil bag and our kitchen organizer as well.

Added a much needed grab handle/step to make things easier climbing on to the rack to set-up and tear down tent.

Awesome setup! Quick question, as it seems to shift a bit depending on lighting, is your softopper black or grey?

It's black Denim, much like the old Bestop TJ material. It will shift in pictures for sure.
