I'm very close to switching from rtt to the Kodiak 9x8, and I haven't even slept in the rtt yet. As a backpacker, and bike packer, the rtt Is making less sense to me every day.

Off and on-road. Helwig adjustable sway bars, Metal Cloak 2.5" progressive rate springs (Overland Elite kit corrects suspension geometry), and Koni shocks makes for much improved handling, and manueverabily. As an added bonus, ride quality improved as well.

Thanks d2 rover, we have been working on our skills in the North Georgia Mnts. We did some off-road technical driving in Aruba last year, and rented a Razor in Moab for a couple of days as well. I'm also teaching my wife how to use all the recovery gear. Right now we have more common sense than...

I thought of using a 4 season tent but found this single wall tent with vertical walls that is perfect for our use. We will also park the Jeep on occasion and backpack to a different overnight destination. For example, we will be camping at the North Rim Campground at the Grand Canyon but hiking...
That's why we built a roof rack platform that can serve a ground tent platform, an elevated hang out deck, or a place to throw a couple of pads and sleeping bags on a clear night. It folds out when needed.
