Got my Smittybilt roof top tent mounted and did my first test set up in the driveway. Looks great and is easy to use. Looking forward to some extended road trips with it this summer. Planning on heading west from Minnesota and on another trip north to Ontario. Several other smaller trips as well.

Here's how it looks:

Added a trans cooler from a 90s explorer.

Cleaned my battery posts. The were looking pretty Nast and I replaced the positive terminal cause I had it on hand and was faster that cleening the existing one

This pretty much sold me on it. That's going to be my first purchase for the jeep when I get my own place... How roomy is it?

Definitely run it off a relay and fuse it. We don't need your Jeep turning into a marshmallow roaster due to shoddy electrical (cause that already happened to one local guy this year).

The tent is labeled as a 3 person, but it is a nice roomy 2 person tent. I'm 6' tall and have some extra leg and head room. One of the best parts is that you don't have to roll up sleeping bags or bedding, it all can stay inside the tent and just gets folded up with it! That leaves lots of extra room inside the Jeep. I love the idea of not having to roll and unroll sleeping bags every night.

Looked it up, wow almost $1,000 shipped. Not bad but I think i'll stick with a tent or sleeping bag in the Jeep.
