Depending on the trails, you might be better off looking at this type of rack.

I did it this summer with mine. Dragged it quite a bit. Hung it up after the road trip. Never again while wheeling. Its great for normal road trips though

I dont always drive where others cant. but when I do, its in my Jeep. Stay muddy my friends

What beach run on Oahu? Tent city is gone. First of all you may have clearance issues, also the weight bouncing around can't be too good for your cross member.
