The" rules" for RTT-ing are the same as if you've just be normal tent camping. It's still considered camping so any and all local laws and restrictions apply. Even in the back country you should research your route and know what lands you plan to cross prior to your trip. Chances of a getting...

Or even Northeast, Mid Atlantic and Southeast? There seems to be an overwhelming majority of members out west but don't forget about us east coasters!

Very nice. I'm looking at the rear basket that you have too as one of my next additions as my setup is very close to yours (minus the trailer). Looks great and functional!

Thanks! I would only be able to guess based on individual parts... Gobi stealth Rack with inserts and ladders - ~175lbs Roof top tent - 150lbs Fridge / stove / rails / drawer / base - ~100lbs Winch - 80lbs Dual battery tray and dual batterys - 110lbs Misc lights, compressor, security boxes...

In honor of Back to the Future Day...

Well, CVT had a sale on their roof top tents, so I might as well strike while the iron is hot, even though the RTT wasn't in the plan until next spring. Ordered a Mt. Shasta model with the skylights. Some unboxing and assembly photos. Not on the Jeep yet, waiting for a pulley to complete my...

Another vote for the ARB. I'm running the small 36qt, just to keep room for other things, but it's amazing and flawless.

And my CVT will be here on Wednesday.... Damn you, hahaha. But seriously, thanks for helping me make up my mind.

Finally received and installed my Trek Armor / Bartact seat covers for the JK. I love the molle webbing all over the sides and back. I've had Wet Okole's before but the neoprene was always so warm - too warm. I like these much better just from a material standpoint but more so from all the...

I see your CVT has the rainfly and add on room. What would you say your total time is to setup and then tear down and break camp? There are so many RTT to pick from and I think I've narrowed my field down to the ARB and CVT but can't make up my mind.

Thanks, I'm trying. All in good time/money!

If not now, when?

After changing back to the hard top, which will most likely be permanent due to my overland build, it was time to start the rear components. That means adding a lockable storage, a gas stove and a fridge / freezer. But I wanted to keep the "no drill" theme going so I needed to cutout a base to...

Trying to get some better photos of this when opened. I keep forgetting to take them. But I added the somewhat hard to find shorter (narrower) rear awning to the JK. Because the Gobi Stealth rack has a recessed rear tube, I had to fashion some home made clamps. The goal here was to cover the...

Thanks!

Rack time! I went with the Gobi Stealth Rack package deal that included the Stealth Rack, two rear ladders, air deflector, front sunroof insert, quick detach connectors and a 40 inch Rigid LED combo light bar. It arrived in the super protective packaging on a crate. One of the reasons I...

After adding all of the weight of the above mods plus accounting for the factory rake of the JKs, it was time to balance out. The Rubicon was a little beefier to begin with so the sag was less noticeable but still a factor. Long term plans will likely include a lift, but I have some garage...

Added the on-board air compressor. I didn't want to do a tank just yet and I wanted to control it via the SPOD, and I wanted the ability to "dial in" to a certain pressure. So I chose the small ARB CKMA12 mounted above the Master cylinder with the EVO-1097 compressor mount for JKs. I...

No worries, looks like it's sticking now.  Thanks.

Test post to see if it sticks before I go re-posting the rest of the build in vain.
