I agree! If you are knew to this stuff choose a more popular area. I also think it’s a good idea to get some friends together and go get stuck. Sometimes the best way to learn a skill is to practice it. Unfortunately, I’m well practiced in the art of self recovery.

Both fantastic areas!

That is a sweet setup for sure! I'm sure it is a ton of fun, might have to pick up a bike one day.

Turns out, Moab is the perfect place to test a new setup. After dealing with a failing transmission, I proceeded to swap in an AX-15 from advance adaptors. At the same time we changed our sleep setup from a ground tent to a Crashpad double swag. All in all we are loving our new setup, although...

Lots of people do! One that is great about the world today is that we have so many types of gear to choose from. Nice setup.

Love the idea, I really need to look into building something similar. It would clean up the interior of my Jeep and add needed orangization.

I fully agree. Been there, done it, removed it for that exact reason. We also like to adventure deep off-road.

I also took a look at Oztent's. They seem like a fantastic option as well. It is like you are reading my mind. A box or drawer system on the side of the ARB fridge is in the works.

All great info. I fully agree with the perceived safety of an RTT. If a bear or large animal wants to get to you, the height of a vehicle is most likely not going to stop them.

Plus, you can set up a base camp and explore. No need to pack the vehicle up everyday just to move it.

Very true! However, I feel that most Hard shell RTTs are in a totally differnt price bracket than most of the RTT's or ground tents being used today. Though, they are very nice and I know they are a totally different animal than soft shell RTTs.

Hey, thank you! I am really glad you liked this review. This thing is very bulky, that is true. Honeslty the only way we are able us it is because the Jeep has a roof rack. Time will tell if the resleting it around is an issue. I can say that it is already far easier than any of the soft shell...

I totally agree that the setup has to be customized your own style of exploring/camping. I also noticed the same improvements to my Jeep when I took the RTT off.

A very possible scenario. I might have to test this thing out in some bad weather now. My personal expereaince with RTT's is that wind just reeks havoc on them.

You are very welcome, glad you liked it. How do you like the Gazelle, I hear good things. I agree with the space issue, we could not use this tent without a roof rack.

The quest to find the perfect tent has been a rough one for me. When I was single and in warmer weather a cot, or ground mat was perfectly fine for me. When my wife and I started dating we used my, very small, back packing tent with two blow up hiking mats. We tried two Roof Top Tents both on...

Thank you!

Wrangler Owners will understand the pain when they go to remove their air box. One of the quick clips lie impossibly close to the fuse box making it impossible to use without tools. Many other vehicles have the same issue. So here is an almost free and easy fix. Post up your budget mods!

I fully agree with regular maintenance. The longer I do this the more particular I have become with maintenance and making sure things are as perfect as possible. We still like to hit some harder obstacles and most of the time we do not travel in groups. So currently we carry just a few parts to...

Do you carry spare parts in your rig? If so what do you carry with you? I am interested to see what everyone carries in their rigs. We all carry sort of tools in our rigs, but lately I have started to look at the spares I carry with me. Recently, I have been on this weight shedding kick and...
