I think that is a decent price. I have a Dethloff rack being built and an existing Roofnest Falcon XL that I will be fitting to it and I think its right along there in terms of costs. Maybe more.
If your thinking fridge and solar add some cross bars.

it came with cross bars but I had to pull them so it fit in my garage. I have had an ARB 50 for years. I run right from the battery and have never had an issue but I getting ready to pull the plug on a Jackery 1000

KM3s? I have been extremely impressed with every rig I’ve seen running them. I don’t have a set, so I can’t speak for their road manners, but they are some grippy tires.
Yes, KM3. Feel fine on the road. Initial bite from the brakes is now lacking. Probably from the size and weight of the new tire.

Coming from road racing this is important to me so I’ll be looking at a more aggressive brake pad. Good excuse to flush the brake fluid with some Motul RB600 fluid while I’m at it.

That sounds about the same as how I run mine. I have the ARB slide for the 50, the one with the battery spot on it. Fits a Goal Zero 500x perfectly. So I charge the 500 which then powers the fridge. Looking forward to how you get your setup all dialed in.

Great pics! Did you make the 4-wheel inflation system?

Bought it from MORRFlat.

I looked at piecing together a kit myself, but after estimating costs it would not have saved me much money at all and the fittings would not have been as nice

I had some KM3s on my 4R for a while, they did great. Way tougher sidewall than the KM2s, but the KM2s were better in rocks...until you sliced a sidewall.

View attachment 17980just had the Thuren 1.5” front springs along with the softer rear springs and shocks installed , 35” tires on17” manx2 wheels waiting on a set of custom sliders to be built so I can get rid of the rhino side steps.
What shocks did you get installed? How does it ride compared to the stock suspension?

Thank you for your service!! I’m a fellow shellback and a Bluenose, but crossed those in preparation of raping Mother Earth for her valuable resources! Crossed the Pacific several times. Definitely, the worst of the waters, in my experience. I’ve done some crew changes in places people only dream of! Hawaii, twice, Cairns, Australia, Dutch Harbor, AK, Barrow, AK, Subic Bay, Philippines, Brisbane, Australia! Several others including every “armpit” of Louisiana, haha!!
