I was under the impression that the ARE topper could not support the weight of a tent plus occupants, not to mention a roof rack on top of those things...is that incorrect?
Got out this past weekend and did some camping, mountain biking, and light off roading near Buena Vista, CO. So nice to get out into the mountains and away from all the ridiculous insanity going on in the cities and on social media.
Have another 2 week trip starting next week and will be going...
They were made by a company that makes roofracks (primarily for 4runners) here in Colorado called Sherpa Equipment. I saw that they used generally what I was looking for on their racks and reached out to see if they'd be willing to sell me just some crossbars at a custom length. Paid 200 for 4...
So I have an update regarding RSI.
After emailing with Jake with RSI, I received a call from Rhino Linings here in Colorado. After a couple of phone calls and communication with RSI, I was able to get everything worked out.
I have placed my order for the SmartCap with no deposit required and...
I have had a similar experience. I submitted my information to RSI and never got a call from a vendor. I contacted RSI directly and then a couple days later I got a call from a local vendor. The vendor told me they have no pricing information for the SmartCap and that the RSI website was down so...
Interesting - how long have you had this installed and how has it held up? I don't know much about the air lift stuff, would this result in any limitations when going offroad at all?
Also, cool video, thanks for documenting all that! Annnd awesome Jeep! :jk:
Sweeeeet...can't wait to get those done!
With the truck leveled out, any thoughts on how quickly you'd get into a "squat"? I plan on having my rooftop tent (140lbs), a couple bikes on the hitch, and a cooler/water tank/camping gear in the back on certain trips and was a little worried that...
Don't care for it myself, but doesn't bother me at all if others like it. Also, FCA doesn't just randomly try stuff, if they're making this then they have good reason to and it'll probably sell well. Some people on this forum probably aren't the marketing geniuses they imagine they are.
People...
Very happy - its very strong and well made, and for the money I feel like you get a lot included.
The only small downside was the need for the crossbars to give that extra inch of clearance. If you kept the tent further back then they might not be necessary, but I'm very OCD with that stuff and...
Yep, those are the crossbars! Soon I'll be getting some end caps with tie down loops on them to cap the ends of the crossbars, the raw ends are a little sharp.
It was a little difficult to load for my wife and I since she's a little shorter - we ended up getting our neighbor to help. I had a...
Sure thing! And you're right, its now the Sparrow and Sparrow XL. We opted for what was then the Eagle just to have a little more space on longer trips but both are definitely usable...I got to take a look at both sizes before we bought one.
The rack is fantastic, solidly built and a good value...
Got our Roofnest Eagle rooftop tent loaded onto the JT for the first time this weekend...super solid on our Rebel Offroad rack. Can't wait for all the adventures to come this summer!
Got our Roofnest Eagle on the Jeep for the first time this weekend! This sort of tent adds a ton of value as far as setup times and ease of use - absolutely worth it in my opinion.
