    Sorry to see you go. Although I’m thinking of selling for the same reasons. Climbing up and down the ladder multiple times at night is getting harder for the wife.

    Moment arm. The heavy awning far out from the upright overloaded the welds. May be bad welds or just over their design. I mounted my awning right at the end of the 90, less moment arm.

    I just purchased some screws that matched the supplied ones. In reality I don't think you need more. The factory ones in the original rails should be enough. The extra rails are primarily there to support and keep the RTT from warping. Along with the extra rails I got extra U brackets to...

    I have a 4 door wrangler. No issue towing. Interstate, dirt trails, no issues. Load properly, keep your distance and be aware of longer stopping distance and you should be fine. Be aware of the max tow weight of the 2door.

    I want the simple route. I got a strut kit from https://habitatoffroad.com/ It includes 4 struts and all the mounting hardware. The instructions are good also. You need to drill holes for the lower mounting brackets. The rest is bolt on. I have the smittybilt RTT XL with the rhino rack 270...
