Explored some trails by the High Steel Bridge in Mason County.
That awning is very cool!
I see you purchased your black and yellow tubs from Costco too! LOL They work great!

Took it to the Colorado River. Got it stuck, then unstuck, then stuck again, and also unstuck again. Did that a bunch.
2WD in the super fine deep sand is no bueno.

Yep! Working on my drawer system, should be completed soon!
so i've only used it last weekend, but during that time, it got exposed to cold and rain. It performed really well.
the good:
- for the price you get the annex with heavy duty flooring, and the tent itself is no different than the other brands, i.e. all the same features you see on a Tepui or a CVT.
- the materials used are solid, packaging was great -- i expected less for a 'budget RTT'.
- i dig having the annex, i do a lot of trips with the family and we tend to stay on base camp at least 2 days. It also extends my camping on colder weather with a heater in the annex (warm air rises to the tent).
- My kids loved it!
the bad:
- the annex. It adds more time to install and as heavy as my ground tent (mostly due to the heavy material used on flooring)
- the weight, 130lbs i think -- so it's a pain getting it up there. I still need a better way to hoist this since i'd like to keep the Jeep in the garage, plus enjoy some topdown driving.
- the tuffstuff logo is a bit cheesy, and it's on all 4-sides of the cover. I like to keep things low-profile so i'll tape it off.
- i may need a ladder extension. Even with a relatively stock height on my Jeep, the ladder is close to vertical which makes it just tricky for the wife. I am not worried too much with the kids, they're monkeys.
- i went camping on a state park. RVers and ground tenters look at you like you landed a UFO.
we're still figuring out how to properly store all the sleeping stuff and still keep it easy to zip up the cover.

A glimmer of hope for those waiting. Arrived in Seattle today, on time, via DHL. Hang in there. [emoji6]
This is a great idea! I am planning on putting a RTT on my ride and have an awning on one side, and shovel and axe on the other. I was also trying to come up with a way to mount my Maxtrax and this is a great solution.

Mine is coming in today. Looks identical to yours! Good taste!

Yeah we dont like the blaring logo so much, ours sits higher were our pillows are on the non hinged side. Also the cover loosens up a bit everytime you remove it.
Finished the roof lights.

Finally, finally! got my Hep's Designs roof rack mounted. Amateur's Tip: If someone offers bare steel for a slight discount, go for the powdercoated version. Spray painting it myself proved frustrating... I thought I was doing everything right, but I still have a few areas that are... less than perfect. Anyway, I like the rack:
Also, blacked out my rear hatch "burger":

Started cleaning up the block on the Jeep for new head gaskets, exhaust manifolds and gaskets, thermostat, etc that goes along with the head gasket replacement. Tomorrow begins the reinstallation. Everything is in pretty great shape for more than 200k miles.

Had a look at the rear body cross member it was an advisory on the last MoT. The rust worms have got to it with the body mount to far gone to repair and there's a hole appeared in the sills. So I've decided to take the disco 300 tdi off the road for a couple of months to replace the bottom of the cross member and fit box section sills to her.
At work...so I have been daydreaming..and drawing out plans for a front bumper..need to get the steel this week...ready to get this winch mounted..its been in the back of my truck for a week.
