Oh no....now you’ve done it. This still open for additional “chillins”?

Been thinking about this type of trip for several months. When opportunity knocks ....

Been looking at a few different roof top tent companies. Roam is high on the list. It will ultimately come down to if I go with a hard shell or not. Roam had a prototype but it seems to have vanished from their site. Also the price different between a soft and hard shell is significant and soft shell means more money for other accessories.

Rack and midland mxt275 acquired. Rack is shipping and just need to get a few odds and ends to make the midland install go smooth. Still making some decisions on a rooftop tent and checking possible used ones in the area to see if I can find a good deal. Still need an air compressor and debating on a few nice to have but not necessary or expensive upgrades.

ARB twin. I don't regret mine. Not one bit.

Thats one of the solutions I'm looking at. It would take part of the cost down for potentially adding ARB lockers in the future.

Currently my wallet is being pulled 10 different directions though a recent promotion might ease the burden a little bit. Waiting for a warmish day after the snow melts to finally install the rack. Also ended up getting some rails for free which come to find out are the exact same as I got from the dealer for free minus the rail that mounts on the cab side. Radio is currently in and I'm either going to get a "cheap" rooftop tent or an iKamper Skycamp 2.0.

Jeeping gets pricey. I am thankful that I am about done.
