Anybody see this thing in person yet. I’m thinking about pulling the trigger.

Love the idea but it doesn't look like you can use it with a bed rack. Won't matter to many, but I want to have both.

I have teardrop for my camping so the rack isn’t a huge thing for me. I just need access and security.

Looks like a great cover for that.

Off Topic - What teardrop do you pull? We just got a T@B 400 Boondock. Not an off road trailer but it works for us.

I have a 2018 Tab 400. Love it.

Have you taken it out yet?

That is cool that you have one!

We did a trip close to home in Ocala National Forest. Not doing anything major until my Gladiator arrives tomorrow! We pulled it behind my JKU.

We absolutely love it. Great quality. Perfect layout.

I imagine it’s pretty big for the JKU. I pulled an InTech Luna with my JKU. When I got the glad. I traded up. The Luna was bad enough with the JK. I imagine the Tab 400 throws it around a bit.

We looked at a Sol. Considered it until we stepped into a T@B.

The 400 is at the max in all ways for a Wrangler. We pulled it pretty near empty, kept our speeds down, and put on an E2 weight distribution hitch with sway control. It towed surprisingly well. Better than I expected. The 2021 has the axle moved up three inches for a lot lower hitch weight.

But it is at the very limits. We prefer more of a margin for error as well as the ability to bring along more than just a change of socks! ?

This is the old setup. Can't wait for the JT!

It’s great with the Glad. I use the Andersen Hitch. Tows very nice. No concern with tongue weight is a good thing.

And I love the boondock package. I bought mine used, or else I would have def gone that direction.

I had a similar cover from Rollnlock on my last truck. I liked it a lot, felt much more secure than a fabric cover, cleaner look too. You do lose a bit of bed at the front, where it rolls up in a box, probably 6 or 8". My truck had a drop in bedliner which had to be cut around it. It was pretty weather tight, IIRC. The box at the front has drain tubes that run down to the drains in the bed to manage water. Thinking about getting one for the Gladiator too, Rollnlock makes one for the Jeep too about the same price
