Finally said “screw it” and bought a rack system and RTT. Got the Smittybilt SRC rack and an ARB Simpson III. I wanted to get the bigger Smittybilt XL tent but they are back ordered until some time in July. I looked at racks by Frontrunner, Gobi, Garvin, Barricade. Decided to go with the cheaper Smittybilt because hopefully the family likes overlanding and I can transition to a trailer in a year or two.
Took me about 3.5hrs to put the rack on the Jeep. Fitment issues caused it to go a little long. Another 3 hours of fussing with the tent. Not a fan of having to chop the aluminum rails just to do a back mount. The tent is smaller than I’d like but should be cozy for me and my 3 and 5 year olds. Looking forward to hitting the trails!
