I misspoke, I believe it is Roost that is made in the USA, but again, I'm going by what the interwebs tells me, and I still don't like the Roost tent design...and it does take me back to the original point that I don't think any of the mass marketed RTTs are made in USA and for that, I am hoping...

Thanks!

Just curious how you got the code? I'm considering upgrading to either the Insane Audio or the Stinger Offroad...if I do, I would be offering mine for sale too and it would be nice to offer it with the code.

If you don't like it with your iPhone, let me know...I might be interested in swapping my 7"...I'm an iPhone guy myself but have never heard there were issues with the droid tablet based head units running carplay

How did you like the Insane Audio?

I’m curious now about Roofnest. I didn’t do enough research apparently on all their models and wondering if they are all made in the USA. I would have given them my business had I known about the Condor. Their side opening clamshells are still very much like iKamper and the Chinese knockoffs...

Roofnest is made in the USA and is the straight up opening like a box. Torro is a clamshell like iKamper. As far as I could find in my research, Roofnest is the only made in the USA RTT. But I don’t like that design.

Here are pics

I believe they are made in China (knock offs of iKamper)...same exact tent as Torro Offroad and at least one other importer branded differently and selling on eBay. I just imported one myself (knock off of the iKamper Skycamp mini). With the integrated awning, shipping, duty/tariffs and the...

I did my own plasti-dip like the bottom silver one. Taped it off to follow the contours identical to the one pictured. It was windy the day I did it and I ended up with texture I don't want and plan to redo it at some point, but it looks good and eliminates the hood glare on a white hood. I...

The zink isn't coating, the arms are made of zinc. The gold is a coating and will wear overtime.

I agree, but some of the "major" 4x4 companies don't have that in their margins right now. I've met some of the site sponsors and others like them, and they are still pretty small operations that employ maybe 5-20 people at most and are manufacturing by hand most of their products and their...

Why do you park in neutral? I've driven a manual transmission for 30 years and rarely ever park in neutral, was just trained not. E Brakes can and do fail/slip. On a flat surface, no big deal but I've parked mine at idle to do things outside a few times on slight inclines and have had to jump...

I wasn't complaining, was comparing for the OP the differences he may experience in the MT vs AT...again, I've been driving MT for 32 years, I know what I was getting when I bought my MT Gladiator and it is my 3rd MT Jeep, 2nd Pentastar...I knew the capabilities of the engine and transmission...

I guess my earlier comment wasn't clear, I'm 44 and been driving a manual since I was 16...this isn't a matter of knowing when to shift and when not to. Different days, different hills, different winds, you name it can affect the performance of a vehicle...there are hills that I think I should...

I agree, on several occasions after first starting the vehicle, I have had an annunciation stating ESS is not ready, so the aux battery is not the only thing that is used for starting, but some how does not always have a full charge for use with ESS. ESS will also not work until your engine...

The auto is meant to shift more for climbing hills, but it is done automatically, no clutch work, faster between the gears and such. No work load on the driver. It can be annoying when you approach a hill in 6th gear that you think you're going to get up without downshifting only to find nope...

I rarely go to 6th in my Rubi before 60+ mph and usually hold 4th until about 50+ especially on the highway, but I have driven a MT since I was 16 and I ride motorcycles. I still stall my Gladiator after 30,000 miles. I have a Ford Focus ST 6spd that I commute in and have never stalled it...

That is good to hear, I am leaning towards the tablet as well, but didn't know what mapping app/software to use. So knowing Garmin Explore worked, will likely be my way to go. I have a CMM mount on my grab bar too for this same purpose. Not that I want to do a ton of video watching while on...
