Mind sharing the exact specs? Also, what tires? Are you factory height? Just bolt-on and go - no rubbing?

Thanks!!

Pretty spacious inside. Its rated for 660lbs (says 3 people), but just me and the ol' lady she is pretty tiny so we are probably 300 lbs all together maybe? We are both short tho lol

That’s perfect! Thanks.

.

I like that a lot.

We are at Bear Lake in Utah right now and should have brought our boat and that would have been perfect for our overnights.

nice setup.. i run the Retrax Pro XR with Front runner cross bars and a colorado 4x4 hardshell roof top tent. I run a 270 degree awning and also a pop out for a toilet/shower room. probably going to look to sell my tent setup as i don't use it as much as i would like. i don't have any pictures with it setup. i'll try and get some next time i go camping.
this was the tent setup on my jeep before i transered it over.

Nice set up. That is the rack I want to use for mine. Looks great on the truck.

This really has me again considering putting a rack on the truck, can move the tent back and forth from vehicles depending on the trip. How much of a hassle is installing the rack if I’d be looking at putting it on and off? Will the RC hard roll up clear the rack without issues?
Here’s our current setup on the wife’s 4Runner.

I took a little trip to the drive in cause that is all time allowed me. It did its job.

It comes off pretty easily, I am height restricted because I wanted to still be able to park under my car port.

The rack is pretty easy to move with two people once assembled, I will say looking at it in pieces is discouraging.
