    Get a 5th gen or not to get a 5th gen

    Roof top tent

    Got the tent yesterday and installed in last night. ended up making my own cross bars and attached them with u-bolts. Then attached the tent. Cant wait to use this thing. The tent is huge. So far 1000% happy with it

    Roof top tent

    I think I might just go the DIY route with cross bars. Some u-bolts and box steel would be a heck of a lot cheaper then some of this stuff Im looking at

    Roof top tent

    I might just do rails idk tent was kind of an impulse buy :shrug: I just got back from a vacation and went camping for 5 nights, I don't want to be on the ground anymore, I live on Long Island and drive on the beach a lot. Camping on the beach in a regular tent gets annoying fast. Figure it...

    Roof top tent

    So I bit and ordered a roof top tent for the 4runner. I got the smittybilt overlander xl. Was thinking of getting new cross bars to mount it to but also have the thought of just replacing the roof rack. Guys with tents what do you recommend? Just get cross bars or whole new rack?

    Rust on new purchase

    It comes with a long nozzle that you put in the drain holes for the frame. Tape off all the other holes and spray. Just make sure no dirt or loose rust is in the frame before you start. Clean it out well
