AWESOME! What tires are you running on those steelies. They look great!

I'm curently sitting on Falken Wildpeaks AT3W's with 245/70 in size. I'll be upgrading to 255/75 soon (or before the Overland Expo PNW). I'm grateful for receiving an awesome sponsorship from FordRangerLifts who provided me with a 2.25"F/3" lift prior the event. Thank you Robby Woolworth!

Dude I wish I didn't get to meet the owner. He was a complete snob! I wanted to see the interior and he was like "you can look but you can't touch it!"

Ropes are for celebrities and privileged.

Proof that I wouldn't even touch it:

That just sounds like classic Teslaness. I cant believe Musk never figured out to install a bag o chips holder.

Thanks for posting all those photos.....

The CyberTruck is god-awful looking. That's one of my main takeaways from your photo spread.

Loved that the Cybertruck owner in the Toyo Tires booth jokingly put a Seasucker Rotopax gas can on the side and a ”widdle wadder” (little ladder) on the back.

I felt really humble representing our Maverick truck at the expo. They really did appreciate the small truck with a big heart. It was the only Maverick at the event! Pack Out Campers team had an awesome and amazing time meeting other Maverick owners too.

Quick snaps.

Thanks for all those pics! Sorry I missed you and your maverick at the OEW. I was there on Friday perusing the RTT options. I'm planning to install a rack and hard top RTT similar to yours so am glad you like it. It looks great. Like you said, simple and functional! How much different does your maverick drive with the RTT?

I just noticed that you have racks over the cab. Is that necessary with your RTT because of the short bed? If so, what make are they? Thanks for any advice!

There's probably more snacks in the frunk? Ahaha

You had me laughing at that brand of bag of chips.

It's my pleasure! I would've taken more but I was so busy admiring every build that people were showing at the event. I love all the classic Land Cruisers and INEOS Grenadier 4X4. Gosh I love them! Especially with what Alu-Cab did with an integrated RTT. Superb build!

Oh it's all good. I'm sure there's always going to be next time. Next year! Yes, I would like to see what your build is going to look like. I started off with a bed rack system and a soft shell RTT. But there were so many cons to having a velcro system to wrap up the RTT. I liked it a lot when I first started my initial easy-overland build, but after going with Pack Out Campers. It's such a game changer. Meaning, I didn't have to deal with getting my camping gears to be damp, dusty or dirty. With the camper's full enclosure, I am feeling way confident to keep my valuables and have 'em locked in place and not worry about water/dust intrusion.

Driving with this new rinlg on didn't really feel any different when I had my previous build. It's such a very light set up and FX4 trim have no issues on/off road whatsoever. We've actually tested the setup off road with air-down [] and that whole shebang! it's hella capable and did not disappoint!

I did see see that in person which I thought quite hilarious! That specific booth was pretty cool. Right across the Cyber truck was a Rivian EV truck as well.

Thank you for the pictures. I have been thinking about painting/powdercoating the steelies on my XL Area 51 Maverick and you have convinced me that I am thinking correctly! Nice truck you have sir.

Yes, I kept the existing Inno Roof Rack that I used to mount my Plano guncase for all my recovery gears (i.e., air compressor, shovel, hatchet and ropes). I also mounted my road shower as well as my 100w Renogy Solar Panel. I couldn't locate my key to remove the roof rack so I kept them up there so that I can still utilize the Inno Fairing to deflect wind noise which really does the job.
