Yea I have one buddy who always takes his homemade one. Just leaves it at the camp site. It seems pretty convenient.
And yea the cost is painful. Also, I’d rather pay the manufacturer than pay Jeep, haha.
What did you think of these?
The rep was saying they got picked up by jeep and you can order them factory as an option.
I think it was like 20K or something with the tent on top…
I’ve never been into this concept, but I wouldn’t say no to one of these if I won it…

Glad the rattling is gone. Shit sounded...
