    I finally a detailed look at the FrontRunner roof top tent. I've been eyeing this for a while for my Land Rover Discovery this is perhaps the lowest profile / light tent in the market. Thank you for posting

    As usual, your video is just outstanding. I really like how you really focus on every detail, giving the viewer the most information to make an informed decision about whether this is the right tent for one. When I get to the point of choosing a tent myself, definitely will consider this video. Thanks for sharing.

I made my little tailgate from watching your video and I love it. keep doing what you brother and when you post a video I take time out of the day stop and watch no matter what it is.

  • @mattbeston4576

    I just recently bought the Schmitty built tent for $712 on sale. It is absolutely stunning how comfy the bed inside is, cane with led lighting, a charging port for a cigarette lighter and a 20 foot cord to go into my 4runner or be wired to a spare battery, wouldn’t have been a bad choice at all. But I must say I love you jeep man!

    this video is really helpful, thank you for the indepth review of this tent. Im planning on getting a Jeep JL two door, and have been trying to find a rooftop tent that can fit two people comfortably as well as fit on a two door wrangler JL. most people would go for the four door wrangler for overlanding because of the space as well as the roof space for a rooftop tent. But I just love the two door more. Im so glad I found this video because now I know there is a tent that can do the job! now I know what my first mod will be for my future overlanding trips. thank you!

    @JeepTJay6 5 лет назад +2

    Great video. I got really inspired by the roof rack video you did. I got the HMF LED brackets in the mail the other day and have my rear rack mounting system just about completed. I plan to start bending the main rails for my roof rack and finishing up pretty soon. I really like how compact this tent folds up, but I wanna to go a little bigger/longer I think. I’m 6’3” tall and want room for my wife and 7 year old daughter. Fortunately I cut and stretched my TJ to LJ length a couple years ago so I have about 15” extra length up there to play with. I have a build thread on JeepForum if you’re interested. It’s titled “My surgical TJ-6 build” I actually gave you a shout out at the beginning of the roof rack section ;-) I’m thinking I might set my tent up to open out over the back of the Jeep so I can install a retractable awning on the side of my rack. Still just a though at this point though. Anyway thanks for sharing. It’s really helpful to have detailed reviews like this. Cheers.

  • @minhster714
    @minhster714 5 лет назад +1

    yea... that's the problem with the thin ones, can't really keep bedding in it, not really a bad thing, just a trade off, you should make a video of it w/o the rain fly, love to see how that looks

    • @richgran
      @richgran 5 лет назад

      Good point. I've also got a 2 door jk, so bulk and weight have to be scrutinized. This RTT seems like a great fit to my needs, but keeping my bedding in the tent would be ideal. So my question is: if bedding causes a bulge in the tent when stowed, how much is too much?

    I like that tent, I've been wondering for a while what brand might fit my TJ. Thanks for the demo! That rack out back, above the spare is perfect for those late night pee's. Just place an old coffee tin can out there before going to sleep, then when you need to go just stand on your knees at the window, whip your Johnson out and let er' rip. Then when you hear the stream hit the can, you'll know when you're on target. After that just fall back on the mattress and back to sleep!

    As someone looking for the 1st time to buy a new JL Wrangler for daily use and lots camping with my wife ( we both have backpacking/motorcycle camping experience) I wanted to ask your advice as to 2 or 4 doors? I've driven 2 door TJ's & JK's and loved driving the 2 door. I'm looking to do it all except hard rock crawling that would do damage to a stock Rubicon w/ 33's. If you could go for either today new would you opt for the 4 dr despite knowing 2 doors is way cooler and probably lot more fun to drive. cheers

    • @ArkansasOffroad
      @ArkansasOffroad  4 года назад

      2 doors are best for maneuverability. You can really navigate tight trails with ease and turn around easily. They are generally more of a rough ride because of the shorter wheel base. I always wish I had more space in my 2 door, but I still like it. I might actually go for a 4 door simply because I've never experienced a 4 door vehicle. It may also be better for daily driving because of the longer wheel base. So, tomato tomato, lol. I think the 2 door looks cooler.

    I have a 1999 soft top Jeep Wrangler. Would the front runner be a good purchase for the Jeep?

    Help, I'm thinking of buying a 98 wrangler from my parents for my university years, it's 80,000 miles and it's in perfect condition, do you think it can survive at least 7 years until I can work to buy another one? If something serious happens to the jeep in this time would it be very expensive to repair? Or do you think I should spend a little more and buy something newer?

    Thank you for sharing! Having a 2-door Jeep is hard to find tents for. So with the roof rack & tent attached...you are unable to go put the soft top down during a trip, correct?
