    Well, you have a good idea with the rooftop tent. I think they’re fantastic way to go camping and you can still keep all your gear and everything inside your vehicle tools and what not and still have a ready-made place to camp as far as the rack or bar in front I think you’ve got a good idea there. Do you want to keep it away from branches and snags and rips and tears and the way you’ve got it is a good place to start.

    I really have been thinking about. Roof top tent to make my wife more happy about going camping with our 16 month old daughter and this video really help decide that decision lol. Also what roof rack/ basket did you have on the Jeep before the tent?

    If you watch my previous videos which I know you’ve seen pay attention to the roof it’s just a crappy aftermarket basket attached to the stock roof rails lol

    @@mountaincrawlers8 ya I do watch all your videos haha. But mostly watching that 3 link and 4 link do work haha. But has that been decent for extra storage I know it’s common but never see it on peoples XJs who actually wheel them lol

    6 should be okay I know of a couple people only running 6 and being just fine. I went with 8 out of precaution though!
