Bingo. My 4-door makes it a lot easier to setup (more room). The photo is a 2-door model so they used the slack of the ENO to tie it up. Either way it works great. Let's you sleep with your Jeep whenever you want! :crazyeyes:

Kenny, get the ENO with the PRO slapstraps and it takes no-more-than 2.7 seconds to put up. It's so easy a caveman could do it. We hang ours inside the jeep sometimes or just park next to a tree. If you are with friends you can hang it from both jeeps. When I road trip I will sometimes sleep in the jeep to save money this way.
Edit: not my jeep in the photo. just demonstrating the idea.
Oh I saw that somewhere too! Great idea!

Yeah that pic is what originally got me into their stuff and I haven't really wanted to pull the trigger yet because I usually wheel alone or when I do go with people we dont stop and bs long enough to tie a few together or whatever but with Ray's idea now I can camp and not need a small tent lol

I'll see if I can't find some pics of the tents we've used and are still using. What I can tell you is that we prefer a tent that is on the smaller side as it will do a better job of insulating and be more resistant to wind. Ideally, a tent that is one person bigger than what you need will make life pretty comfortable. For instance, it's just Cindy and I and so we typically get a tent that is made for 3 people. Being that you will be keeping your dog with you, this will be even better. Kelty and REI both make great tents and I would recommend either. While they are stronger, tents that require you to shove poles into a sleeve will make setup and take down a lot harder. A good 3 season tent with clips and fewer poles will always make things easier to deal with.
Have the Kelty trail ridge 3. Awesome tent.

My wife and I have a Coleman 6 person instant tent.
It's the perfect size for both of us, our two border collies and our gear.
Pros:
It goes up extremely quick.
Fits cross wise in the back of a JKUR (haven't tried to fit it in her JKR)
I can stand up fully in it (I'm 6'0")
Fits a queen size air mattress, both of us and our two dogs without the dogs sleeping on our bed, our indoor propane heater, our packs, and misc other gear.
Cons:
Does not fold up and go back into bag nearly as easily as it goes up. Think about how you fold up and put a camp chair back in a bag. This is pretty much the same, only much larger.
Definitely not a pack tent because of it's size and weight. I think it is about four feet long when packed.
I've heard they leak without a rain fly, but I've never used it in the rain without a rain fly.
It does not have a covered entry like most other tents of this size.
