Sanctuary build

Due to the fact that the Dweller is so close to maximum towing capacity when loaded up I am considering just keeping my factory bumpers to minimize effect on payload.

More Xtrusion-overland parts on the way. Brackets to mount my spare and for making my flip up side panels and molle panels should all be here in the next week or two. Can't wait to get this all set up.

Added SumoSprings today, will try towing with these before I put in airbags. RV place wanted $500 to install, wasn't even 5 minutes to put in both of the new ones in my driveway.

Got one of my bed rack panels partial assembled before work this morning. These will have 2 100lbs gas struts to help hold everything up when lifted.

Got the molle panels put on, still need to figure out latches and the gas struts, but looking good in the mean time.

Just a bit closer today. Really wish I could find the 10mm ball studs I need locally for the gas struts.

Looks awesome! Did you cut the bed rack rails to match up with 5 side panels? I see they offer 48 or 56 inch racks.

Flip ups look great!

I just started towing a 20’ toy hauler and added the airlift airbags. They made a world of difference on reducing sag. I did the install myself with limited tools in the driveway and it was straitforward. When I tow the trailer I still use a weight distribution hitch, but even just quick hook ups are so much easier now with reduced sag.

I have the 56" rack, and didn't have to cut anything to mount it. They have brackets specific for the Revolver X4s that allow you to run the longer rack.

Truck is in the shop after waiting 4 months for parts on a warranty fix. Stuck driving a GC loan, not a bad little SUV, but this is going to be a long week waiting on my truck to get back.

Took the family camping out near Monterey over the weekend. Trailer towed well even with all the wind. Going to install airbags and cameras before the next trip.

Got some Diode Dynamics elite series fog lights for fathers day. These things seem like they are pretty solid, easy height adjustment, and good pattern.

Finally got my airbags put in to get rid of the sag and some of the sway while towing. Pressure testing them at 30psi until tomorrow to make sure there are no leaks, then heading up to PNW Overland Expo with the trailer and family on Wednesday.

Towed amazing up to PNW Overland Expo with the airbags, then the wife added a couple hundred pounds for the drive back. Might have to add a couple more PSI to compensate.

Finally got the bed rack panels on struts.
