Our mattress or bedding never got soaked after numerous wet and muddy pack-ups in our x1. But I will say, packing up in downpours, muddy conditions or freezing cold became too much hassle, arguments between the wife and I, and having to air it out at the house with a yard that is severely...

Correct. The bag with the awning in it. In its stored/traveling position.

Can anyone tell me what the height & width of the 270xt MAX awning bag is when in stored/travel position? I know it's 7.5' in length but looking for the height & width. Can't find it on the AU or USA websites or the other vendors here in the states that carry it and haven't received responses...

Updated original post with new price.

UPDATED 3/11/22: $3750 for the iKamper Skycamp 2.0 RTT or $3900 and I’ll include the iKamper Insulation Kit. That’s over $500 savings (if you include the sales tax savings) than what you could buy it for from iKamper or REI right now (even after their current discounted retail price of $3999)...

So thats why Ford didn’t install hood struts on the bronco and instead used a POS hood prop. My 4dr Badlands, 2.7, lux, tow w/ soft top comes in at 5160lbs (full tank, no occupants or cargo). Leaving me w/ 1020lbs for occupants/cargo/trailer tongue weight. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What about the TJ wranglers back in the day? You can’t tell me that jeep’s stock steering gear was up for serious offroading. You ever seen that toothpick of a tierod they put on it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hardest part was drilling out all the rivets.

I knew I would be doing this the moment I switched from hard top to soft top. Originally the plan was for the mod top as I hated the MIC top. 1. I can’t stand looking at the side windows. 2. Have zero use for rear tilt feature of the oem top. 3. Not a fan of the oem structural frame on the...

We’ve had our X1 for 2.5yrs now. Love everything about it but after one of our spring/early summer camping trips, I wanted to save my marriage lol. 1. Tired of packing up the tent, annex & kids room after/during pouring rain and not easily being able to set everything up at home to air dry &...

Id recommend calling the guys at Exploration Outfitters or asking the FB Patriot Owners - USA group, lots of JLUs in the group. What’s your height from the ground to the top of the receiver tube? I know on our Bronco w/ 33s, it needs a 2.5” ball mount rise. The grand cherokee trailhawk below...

Assume you have the MIC top? Wife has had her 4dr BL softop for 9 days and the Bestop trektop I ordered just arrived today. Hope to swap it out this weekend.

Optical Feedback Linear Actuators 200lb & 12" I was thinking of using the base mounting bracket and if needed an additional collar mounting bracket up higher to keep the actuator in a static position.

Maybe I'm crazy and thinking this is possible. If I am, feel free to let me know or if you have other suggestions. But I'm wanting to mount 4 (2 pairs) linear actuators to lift the roof rack platform that I would be installing (w/ different rtt & awning) 12-18" but keep all the actuators...

Congrats on the purchase! Have owned a loaded X1 since new for 2+ yrs. have been in bad weather more than I can count, wind gusts of 40+mph and never had one drop of rain inside the camper tent or storage areas. We also have 2 large dogs that camp with us, only water inside the tent is from...
