Oh cool! Thanks! I got this guy recently and I need to decide on a rack and setup. I like how you can still use the basket with your kayak.

Default 2011 Rubicon & 2012 Sierra 4x4 Gen1 Trailer
I can finally post in this thread! Here's my 2011 Rubicon with my new 2012 Sierra 4x4 Gen1 trailer. I just picked the trailer up last week and went directly on a trip to Oregon. No off-road pics yet, but here's a one from the Oregon trip:

If you ever see one for sale, pick it up! These old trailers are a ton of fun and take old CJ parts.

Here's a few from awhile back. I've since added ACE rock sliders (which have proven very useful for accessing rack top) and a few other goodies.
sweet and simple

I have the Tepui 'Kukenam' - definitely fits an adult and a child with no problem. Two kids and you'd definitely be snug! Roof-top tents are definitely the way to go without a doubt.

So, what's the point of a roof-top tent again? Unless you're driving through an impenetrable swamp, how are they better than just setting up a tent on the ground?

I'm no expert but i use just a normal tent on the ground and a lot of the cold comes from the ground, so being elevated would help with that

Maybe Im old but I learned on my first camping trip that a tent on the ground sucks. Between the uneveness, cold dampness, and god forbid you get a lot of rain and have a mud pit under your tent. Ill stick with tents off the ground
