Greetings

Got my new 2021 Tremor about three weeks ago.
Lead Foot in color

Love it

Looking forward to sharing info and mods right here.
Already ordered Leitner ACS Forged rack with 4 gear pod’s and 4 mounting plates

Got a decked for the bed coming as well
Gonna build a nice Overlander out of this truck

Will be most interested in leveling lift mods

Of course the last pic is not my Tremor

It’s one of my other passions

Rovers!!

Welcome, and I like that bike rack! May I get a link for it?

You also live in a very scenic area. Perfect for a truck like ours.
 
Hello There...
Yes the bike rack is great, very well made in the USA. Salt Lake City.
Met the owner a few weeks ago at Overland Expo West in Flagstaff. the guy is quite a character and engineer. Very impressed with everything he designs and builds...plus lifetime warranty.....


And yes, Utah is beautiful for certain. I was sorta in your neck of the woods for about 23 years in Murfreesboro just outside of Nashville. I packed it up and headed west about 7 year ago....still love Tennessee, my Titans and Preds but no replacement for mountains and lots of open space.

Looking forward to getting the Tremor outfitted and in the desert.
 
I have the original ACS on my rebel. It's been pretty solid and carries the load well. That forged takes the looks to the next level.
 
I’m looking forward to getting it on and will post the pics.
The rack shipped yesterday
The Decked unit shipped today

Next is lighting, and a swing away spare tire carrier that maintains a functional hitch receiver. Any suggestions there?

Depending on how you want to go with it.
Wilco checks the boxes for a removeable carrier. https://wilcooffroad.com/product-category/tire-carriers/
replacement bumpers like expedition one

I like my Black Oak lights but everyone has their "best" lights.

For your decked, if you're considering putting L-track on, it's easier to do it before you put everything together.
 
Great suggestions
I’ve looked at Wilco products…seem solid, now re thinking if I want a tire hanging off the back
May be more of a hassle then benefit after thinking it over a bit.

Abruptly stopped there
Yikes
Anyway
Like the idea of swing away for mountain bikes
Not the spare so much

yeah, I need to rework my design a bit for this smaller bed but ultimately I'll use a spare tire mount for the bed and keep it vertical at the front of the bed. I'll be making (or buying) passenger side cabinets high/low enough to put my house battery and fridge slide on and have the back driver's quarter open for access to something like

Great looking setup
I love the Alucab
I was looking at 23-Zero RTT.
I am concerned with the weight up
High and handling.
My Rover is like driving a boat with the weight on the roof….of course it is a Rover. Prob like that new.

yeah and that suspension...
Overall the alu-cab type canopies actually save you weight. Think about a 150+ pound RTT up high vs about half that up high (and not as high). If I remember correctly, they run about 400 pounds and can be found for $8k-$12K +/- (and some even more expensive). After my Wyoming trip where I experienced more dust in 1 week than in 9 trips to Iraq and Afganistan, I decided an enclosed solution was the best solution. I justified my $3k leitner w/accessories, $3k RTT, some of this and some of that and I'm at a canopy camper.
