If you are anywhere near the Sacramento, CA area, I just replaced my front lower bumper on my Overtrail+, and have the old one sitting in the basement. You are welcome to it.

Thanks but im in South Florida

That's a great stance! What size KO2s are those?

Can you post some photos from the front/rear showing the offset?

Sorry for the late reply. They are LT 275/65/18s

Life after the Sprinter: dress rehearsal at Anza Borrego desert. No more propane, running on Ecoflow Delta 2 Max with alternator charger and Zoupw 350W folding solar panels (yes, weird name). Ecoflow 55L fridge/freezer. Duxtop induction for cooking.
The Scepter pressurized (home made) water container had a small leak (still worked, but needed frequent pumping), but everything else performed.
Sleeping was improvised (inside): next project W&F drawer slide, and a home made extension as a sleeping platform.

Those wheels look fab with the white, classic appeal.

Next step: Starlink mounted to the Prinsu Pro rack. Hardware: Strikerfab.
Since I had already bought the silicone protective sleeve, I contacted Striker to see if it was compatible with the mount: "NO".
But their design was exactly what I was looking for (low profile, almost invisible at eye level), so I decided to give it a McGyver try and make it work: with a sharp knife (and some extra washers as spacers) you can massage it in...

Nice job!

So now you pretty much have internet & cell phone capability anywhere & everywhere?

 

[Weihwedelweiss]

Yes to internet, and and yes to wifi calling (or WhatsApp calls) when out of cell tower range.
Footnote to the power source: after half an hour of running against a brick wall trying to set up the Starlink, I figured out that the supplied 50 foot DC to DC cable doesn't carry enough power from my Delta 2 Max DC connection to the Starlink (3A won't suffice).
So you either have to connect the 50 footer to the AC wall plug to the battery bank (and waste power by converting DC to AC and back to DC), OR get a USBC to DC cable.
My Delta Max 2 outputs 5A/100W per USBC port, which is enough to feed the Starlink.
Hope this saves some time for someone...

I mounted up my wife's new wheels over the weekend on her Lux+. Went a different route vs. what I see for the most part on the forum. These are BC Forged GWA05's, 20x8.5, ET40, with Cooper Discoverer R+T in 275/60/20 SL load tires. I dropped 11.4lbs at each corner vs. the stock 22" set up, have zero rubbing on stock suspension, and improved the ride, looks, and the car's reactions to inputs (steering, braking, and acceleration). Very happy with the results. I just need to install black lug nuts and I'm all set.
