Anything I can do to sway someone into the #cvtfamily :) I really love my tent.. And I hope if you get one that you love it too.

Here is the updated version of the rear storage for the JKU. It use to have 4 drawers but I eliminated the top drawer and added some spacer to the bottom of the base. I got the idea from @overlandlife so I can have access to my tools and be able to store a small 3ft folding table also. Now just need to get the locking paddle latches and black speaker carpet and it will be complete.

Here the 2nd to the last update which is the carpeting the storage box up and it will be complete and ready to use. All three locking latches have been installed, I will be blacking out the inside with flat black and the outside will be black speaker box. And of course I had to sneak in and rep my Yeti cup with the OB sticker on it. [emoji106][emoji106]
Turned out great man, awesome you did it with the old man and the boy.... that's what it's all about!
Check out the tuff stuff 4x4 RTT. That's what I have, and is a fraction of the price of CVT and Tepui. Annnnnd it comes with the annex at no extra charge!

Thanks a lot Rexor91!! It was a fun time doing the storage with the old man and the boys plus even more fun when I had to look for tools and hardware cause the 6 yr would take off with them and try to. Hold his own stuff. Lol. Also good looking out on the RTTs I'll look into them and do some research on it. [emoji106][emoji106]
Right on man. Just FYI all those tents appear to be made somewhere in Asia in the same warehouse, then are sent here and each company puts their logo on with whatever minor variants they might offer with each model.

Haven't forgotten about you brother. Just been busy working night shift and sleeping in the day. But I'll get you the measurements. [emoji106][emoji106]

It's officially done!! I did not go with the speaker carpet cause apparently the guy told me that the glue would not hold up because of the heat in the back of the Jeep when the sun is hitting there. So I ended up using Duplicolor Black Bed Liner and I think it actually looks a lot better.

Nice set up! I've been trying to find a pic of a JKU with this set up, so I know how ours will look before buying the roof rack and RTT. Hows your roof rack holding up?I'm running a CVT Mt. Shasta and I have a pretty decent amount of space up front. The only thing you have to watch out for or live with is the window awning rods won't fit if you mount stuff up there and intend to leave it mounted like my cans (below) while the tent is open. Personally I'm ok with that. In the second pic you can see what I have to do with the window.
