Sanctuary build

[capercrew02]

Wasn't able to install today, but my hardware for my rack finally came in today. Verified the fit of the mounting brackets on the Revolver x4s rail and it fits perfect, can't wait to get the mount on in the next couple days.

Looks clean! Can’t wait to see the full product

Started getting the Xtrusion-Overland rack installed. Mounting brackets work great. Found out that using the tonneau rail to mount we can run an 8" longer rack, so they are sending me some longer rails. Debating on setting it up with the shorter rails for now or just waiting with the uprights mounted.

How’s the side to side stability? Any flex or play?

It's solid, I can shake the entire truck with each upright separately. Also looking at running a cross beam up top to mount my spare from that will add a even more rigidity.

awesome! Are they ready to start taking orders for this setup or are things still getting squared away?

They should be ready, are you on their Facebook page? Talk to Jon Fuller on the Xtrusion-Overland Facebook page and he will get you squared away.

Got my Armorlite flooring put in today. These things are a pain to install, but totally worth it.

Well, made a new big purchase today, so bumpers might have to wait a while. Sign on the line on a 2022 OBI Dweller trailer. Spent a solid hour walking around and through this camper and it checks about 90% of the boxes we needed. Time for more family adventures soon.

Nice Jeep. The color is way too close to Bama Crimson, but in CA you probably don’t care about that.

Holy crap, that thing is heavy for an 18’ trailer. Are you planning on pulling it with your Mojave? You’re really going to be pushing the limit with the family and gear loaded up.

Wife will likely also bring the Wrangler. With a 4 month old we won't be going on any long trips anytime soon, so mostly just weekend gear.

It has 300W of solar panels and 3 100AH batteries, and a lot of heavy duty stuff. There are some things I might end up stripping out to reduce weight unless I can figure out how to run it all without hookups.

I also doubt we will ever load the 1000lbs of stuff in it to get it to max weight. We pack pretty light when camping and will probably just get reusable plastic dishes and utensils to reduce weight. Don't need a full kitchen's worth of pots and pans either.

I would have been happy with their Graveler XT model, but the wife wanted a bathroom lol

I mean, it’s really nice. I like it a lot. Don’t get me wrong. You’ll definitely want to bring the wrangler and have everyone and their gear ride in the wrangler. I’m not saying it can’t tow it, but it’s generally not a good to tow close to your tow capacity. I’m glad to see that you realize that the weight you carry in the Jeep effects your tow capacity.

Will see how it all rides when I pick it up next week, but I do know this one is pushing it. I definitely don't plan on towing it over 55mph, if I can keep our load under 500lbs I think it will be fine. The only real difference I've seen between the Max tow package and a Mojave is stiffer springs, so using airbags to stiffen up the rear should make the weight on this one comfortable.

Got some of my 50" rails put on today with the mounting hardware I already had. Rack is looking more complete, but still need to figure out how I'm going to engineer the flip up side panels.

We also got our travel trailer picked up today. Need to get a WDH set up, but made it the 5 miles home ok without it.
