Still waiting on some center caps from China.
New wheel and tire combo is almost exactly 5lb heavier than stock combo.

Built the cross bars from some hardware store square steel tubing and 1/16" sheet stock.

Rack is a walmart universal piece. One of the big name brands but can't remember which one lol.

Beemer wheels look good! I ended up going with the Terrafirma beadlock wheels.

Love those BMW rims on the D2. They look awesome; great match to the aesthetics of the truck.

Thanks! I was hoping that they would look more or less like they could have been on it from the factory and I think they fit the bill pretty well in that respect.

I would have gone with the Dakar wheel, but its no longer made. The price from the UK is reasonable, about $150 per wheel. Don't know why they cost at least twice here.
