It is larger as the BatWing has the legs attached that fold out so it is much easier to deploy.

They have rainfly's for hammocks, I've weathered many a storm in mine.

Wow... Today I learned, my home country gets all the cool gear... There is the Shady Boy - http://www.shadyboy.com/the-awning/ that packs down to just 49" but extends to 10' wide and 6' deep.

Such a beast doesn't exist, closest for length would be the Rhino Rack Foxwing Eco 2.1 but that isn't going to give you full coverage on the rear, if you want full coverage on the tailgate then you want an awning to mount facing the tailgate and not on the side so for that you could go with the...

/facepalm, I looked for a good 5 min or so yesterday looking for that, thanks!

A spammer somehow got through whatever safeguards they have in place here and there is seemingly no way to report them as spam so I guess we just have to wait for a mod to happen on by to ban them and delete the posts.

With a deep cycle battery though you ideally want a DC-DC charger inline with the trailer wiring to charge the battery properly, a straight connection will work in a pinch but it isn't great for deep cycle batteries.

I would buy again sooner if I had a do over, I originally went down the path of trying to set my Jeep up for "overlanding" but lets face it very few of us actually do true overlanding but rather more do car camping with a basecamp and then wheel or hike/bike from there so having everything on...

I almost didn't click that link as those things are usually super expensive but you can get one for <$200, that seems too cheap so what is the catch?

I have the 2017 Woolly Bear and for our purposes it is almost perfect, here is an album from one of my trips - https://imgur.com/gallery/3qRKs I was between the Tiger Moth and the Woolly Bear for similar reasons, I thought my wife would be more amenable to camping during Texas summers if we had...

I have a few more pics on Imgur and another album of adding a fridge & power for it. Haven't got off-road with it yet and likely won't until the fall as Big Bend National Park is the closest place to do that for me and it is way too hot during summer for that.

I can finally play in this thread, picked up my Taxa Outdoors Woolly Bear a few weeks ago and have been in a few shakedown runs. Here it is when picking up at the dealer: First trip to Davis Mountains State Park: I was going to continue adding more pics but it keeps giving me an error so...

My bad, ********'s was for OzTent not Kodiak, for Kodiak check out http://www.sportsmanswarehouse.com/sportsmans/Kodiak-Canvas-VX-Tents-with-Tarp/productDetail/Canvas-Tents/prod99999031358/cat100834 Edit: Damn it, I guess I should have ordered when I had the chance as they are showing out of stock now

Check out ********'s Sporting Goods for the Kodiak tents, they have at least the VX models in stock (or so the site says) as I've been close to squeezing the trigger a few times now.

Chiming in here with some recent real world experience, my wife's 2015 JK came with a dealership installed 2" lift and 33" tires, initially they had it on an oversized tire carrier and it banged like crazy. Took it in and they swapped it back to stock it still banged so I put on the extended day...
