I used clips from the smittybuilt rooftop attachment clip bag. Look on 4wheelparts or approved vendors for them. They slide in the rail and then I drilled holes in the cross-rail built to secure it. Works perfect and solid..

ARB has a set too... Part Number: ARB815118



Any chance you have a pic or a link?

Those bed rails are pretty rad. Love the height at which the collapsed tent sits now.


Yes that was my goal get it low as possible keep it out of the trees and make it easier to put on take off. And I can leave the rails and still roll the cover flat.

Looks so damn good! Thanks for the link.
Tourenwagon, sorry to be off topic but I see you have a mountain bike rack that allows you to close your tailgate, is it store bought or something you made. Can you post pic's

Yeah I'm just using the Seasucker mount I've had for the last few years. Used it on the roof of my other cars and just stuck it to the back window in that picture. Similar to this:

oh that's pretty cool, I was hoping you had the front tire on and it was some fancy rack, I have a soft top so I don't think the suction cup method will work, but thanks for answering the question.

Nemesis flares and winch installed. I need to do a leveling kit now with the weight. I'll add a full lift later after they get some more testing in. What leveling kit is everybody going with. Love to bump it up 2.5 inches

Can you see anything behind you with the tent up top?

I can’t understand why anyone would put a tent ON their truck. I have about 18 tents for all kinds of situations. When they are set up, and I am hunting or doing other things, I can drive off immediately to haul a buck, drive up to a vista or trailhead, or make a run back to the nearest store, just go wheeling, tow out a friend, etc. …


For example, I have a 12’ 12’ tent that fills up a modest duffle bag and takes up much less space. What am I missing?


You can’t drive your Jeep with a tent on it. It becomes a stationary RV without the real comforts. Kind of eviscerates the Jeep’s main purpose—to drive around in difficult terrain.


Getting a real camper may or not make sense. But, why put a tent on your Jeep that renders it immobile and takes up more space than a much larger conventional tent that takes up less cargo space that allows you to go Jeeping while the big tent with numerous cots and comforts remains functional somewhere else?

Any problems with rubbing... with your stock fenders and stock height, with the 37s?

Day 2 lets get her out and a little dust on the tires!! Yeti 65 fits perfect under the cover. Roof top tent coming for over the bed, but this will do for now!

Even on the factory 285's these trucks look like ass. Had to dress her up in some real shoes to match the dress.

  • Method 312's on 9inch wheels
  • 37 x 12.50 x 17 Ridge Grapplers
  • The extra lift the rubicon springs provide with higher fender clearance allows 37's stock. Lift may come later after I wheel it a bit see how it works. I love low COG jeeps and big tires. The off Camber stuff isn't as sketchy when your not as tall.
  • Next up Winch install, floor mats and sill guards. Most likely flares down the road once I see how they look and maybe new bumpers but these work fine for a while.
