Thank you. Super nice for sure but it’s over double what my budget is. I don’t wanna be over the $2k mark. He’s got a great offering though. They look awesome.

To me it all comes down to pricing. Prices have gone up so much the past few years that it has made it unaffordable for many. Many new Clamshell RTT’s are well north of $4k anymore. That’s just insane for what it is if you really think about it. Used prices right now are about half of new...

What tent are you using now that your wife likes? I was thinking about the Smittybilt Overland XL Gen 2 but nit sure on the quality. Watched a few YouTube videos on them and they seem to get decent reviews just not sure on their overall longevity and quality. Any particular brand an...

I’m not afraid to do some research but was just hoping maybe I’d get a few big and tall guys letting me know what has worked for them. There are probably over 100 companies making RTT’s anymore. Hoping to get a few replies of some that people have used with good or bad results. I understand...

Looking to build up my 06 Duramax as an Overland rig. I’m 6’5 275lbs and not sure what way to go as far as a Rooftop Tent. I’m 51 so I’d like some room to get in and out and possibly kneel up i side if needed. I have zero experience with the Clamshell style rooftop tents but I like their...

Just wondering where you put your Diesel Heater vent hose Inside your tent? Do you just zip it up in the opening or do you come in through a window or do you have a designated entry port for your vent hose? I found this little piece made for a tent on Etsy and put it on my Kodiak Canvas tent...

Considering trying to turn my 07.5 Chevy Duramax into an overland Rig. The biggest reason is it’s paid for so it would be a smaller investment. But on the other hand I’m wondering if it’s just to big for running trails etc. For me it seems like it may just be to big but I could be wrong. I want...

Selling my 2012 Jeep Rubicon Unlimited with lots of upgrades. The reason the price is so low is it is high mileage at 157k and is also a Flood/Restored Title. This was a Texas Hurricane Jeep that was considered a total loss when the hurricanes came through Texas a few years ago. But this...

Selling my home built trailer. It pulls Amazing and needs nothing. Bed inside is a size Full. Trailer has a 12v lighting system that will last you a weeks worth of camping. Has interior and exterior LED lighting. Also has a fantastic fan on roof with rain vent. Also have a small propane bottle...

Super nice XJ. Amazing price. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Well the exterior is once again finished. Hopefully this time will be the last time. Really enjoyed trying PMF. Hopefully it’s as good as people claim. If so I should never have to worry about it again. Super happy with how it turned out. I like it better than the Raptor liner. Sent...

Thanks everyone for your help. I think bondo will have to be my go to for filling all my counter sunk holes for my screws. I don’t have the time to get epoxy and not sure how easy it would be on a verticals wall. I think bondo would work just fine though. I have it 90% reskinned then I’ll fill...

Is there exterior grade 1/4” plywood? I’m pretty sure the T111 doesn’t come that thin. 1/4” is as thick as I can go on the sides because I’ve already cut my bottom board on the frame that size. If I go any thicker the plywood will hang out over the metal frame. And how hard is it to apply epoxy...

As some of you may remember I posted on here a few weeks ago about some plywood cracking I was having since I made a huge mistake and sprayed Raptor Liner over untreated 1/4” Baltic Birch plywood. Now I’m paying the price. The Raptor liner dried hard as a rock but the wet weather we’ve had and...

The Filon would be nice but not sure I want to spend $700 on it. I think I could aluminum sheet it cheaper than that. I think I’d Ned about 30ft to cover my entire trailer. And an 8.5ft by 30ft roll is around $700. Considering just either using FRP that’s about $33per sheet Or maybe...
