My "light" Overlanding Maverick EcoBoost XLT Build.

itzJack · Jul 8, 2023

I took my time with the build (around 3 months?) so I just thought I'd share with you all where I am at. Very excited to get out on the road and test out my new toys. I am located in the Valley in California (Northern California) so if you guys have any nice spots for me to check out I would truly appreciate it!

What height did you go with for the rack?

Hello! Sorry I should have posted all the attachments along, but i got the Overland Xtrusions XTR1 15" height one. I plan on getting a roof rack later in the year so it would be flushed with the rooftop tent.

Which roof rack are you think of adding?

I have been waiting a few months now for a better roof rack option compared to the ones where you have to hook them to the doors.. the only ideas i have left is to buy and custom fit one myself. i plan on getting a rooftray type rack instead of the lifted bars

This style seems a lot more aerodynamic compared to these types

TrailRax told me at Overland Expo this weekend that they have a Maverick roof rack coming. FrontRunner also said they are still working on theirs and hope to have it out soon

It might be a trek but getting over to the Eastern Sierras...immaculate beauty and so many places to camp!

She's got a good squat going already. Have you loaded up with gear yet?

Looks good man! Yeah, you definitely want to get a roof rack so it doesn't create that much drag. It would look more consistent. Our mpg's are already good enough to begin with.
I'm a bit concern on how your bracketing set up with your 270⁰ Batwing OVS Awning. That's definitely gonna get the shakedown/breakdown when you take it offroading.

Did you use the proprietary bracket OVS provided?

I'd go with the 2nd option. Super easy install. There's not any factory/or OEM mounting point in our Maverick roof to modify your first option. Though ot looks really sweet. There's not really any issues on having the clamp on option. I went with Inno rack system that came off of my 2001 Galant. Just so happen they share the same model tower/clip. There, I saved some money.

I have mine mounted for more than a year now. No issues whatsoever.
