These are sold! Thanks

I have a brand new set of Front Runner RTT brackets with hardware and the original box. I bought these a while back so I could mount my Tepui on my Tacos camper shell but ended up making my own mounts instead. I never bothered to return these and hate seeing them collect dust. These go for 70...

Dang that’s cool!

Interesting set up, you have a really nice pick up and then the old military trailer. I like it! You definitely need better tires but either way the snow sucks. I’m honestly a little surprised how much snow was left. I took my family up there a few months ago to play in the snow and it wasn’t...

I too have been researching them, back when I got my Taco in 2019 all these American made, super simple pop style campers were still really new and most companies were still figuring things out. While most companies are still “really young” by business standards I believe GFC has really...

Adding a high density .75 inch backpacking mat (or two side by side so it's extra wide) is total money. The ones that are green on one side and silver on the other can be had for under 20 bucks a piece.

My 75 pound Shepherd loves the annex on the Autana, I do to, no dog hair in my bed! I'm sort of OCD with that stuff so having the lower annex is sweet. It's also awesome for crappy weather, you can hang out in there or more importantly change easily, stash gear or leave your dirty wet stuff...

Fun time on the Rubicon a few weeks ago.

You got the 2.5 or 4.0? Stock gears? I'd say it's pretty minimal difference with or with out the tent. Worst thing I ever did was the front bumper and winch. That killed the way the Jeep drives 3 times more than the RTT ever did. As far as being "top heavy", yeah you notice the tent vs no tent...

Is your TJ lifted or heavily modified? My XJ sits on 33s with a 6.5 inch lift and I run my RTT year round. When I built my Jeep I threw the front and rear sway bars away and never looked back. I commute 30 miles of a mountain road everyday and it doesn't bother me, but, that's my preference and...

The Ayer in all reality would probably be just fine but the extra room in every direction is really awesome. I have the Autana, which is same sleeping area size as the Kukenam, the extra room allows a place for a backpack/purse at your feet and the height is great. Since the Ayer is also shorter...

I don't mind one bit. I camp and backpack year round in most weather conditions but this storm was intense. It was nice to really test it and I wouldn't sweat riding another storm out again in the Tepui. The awning held up too, I had to use ratchet straps to hold the corners down!

Well, after owning my Tepui for two years and having never taken it off my Jeep this last weekend was the true durability test. We did the Rubicon in one of the worst storms northern California has seen in a while. I'll try to not make this post into a trip report but my Autana and 6x6 awning...

I love Joe's videos on YouTube but I sort of have the same feelings...it's just a Jetboil. I have a Jetboil SOL that I've owned for 7-8 years and I feel everything works fine, even the simmer control. Honestly, if I had to do it over I'd do a small MSR stove, Snow Peak titanium cup and nest it...

Don't do it, I looked into to it as well and it's not worth the savings...if you do end up saving in the end. At least if you buy a Tepui, CVT or even a Smittybilt at least you have a company to complain to if there is a problem.
