Jarred, that looks awesome on your trailer! The suggestion others have made for the canopy support bar is correct. It does not stay attached to the "posts" when it's put away. Remove the bar from the posts and slide the ends of the bar in alongside the mattress. Feel free to give me a call if you have questions or need to walk through anything.

If you are using the factory swing out then it will clear just fine. The only time you might have an issue is if you're using an aftermarket FULL WIDTH tire carrier. But most should open just fine. This photo doesn't show it exceptionally clear but this is the same setup when we were getting the guys at Teraflex set up with tents. The lift gate opens fine as well as the full tailgate.

Even though I'm a Toyota guy, I gotta say that the Autana with the annex opened to the rear on a JK fits like the tents are custom made to fit on the Jeep. Perfect width, and the annex opening to the back of the Jeep works perfect and gives as good of protection from weather etc against the Jeep as any option I've seen. Almost makes me want a JK to use with my Autana.........almost

A couple more of one of the other Teraflex JKs. :drool:

I tried to talk them into an orange Autana Ruggedized for this Jeep, but they went with the grey because it would spend more time mounted to a white or silver JK that would be traveling to events.

On a non-Ruggedized model I've seen it done before because the material isn't quite as thick. One thing to note is that the back wall attachment for the annex shares the same track as the travel cover. So if you do this, just zip the 3 sides of the annex to attach it and leave the track side unattached. That way the travel cover can still be used. Here's some photos from a guy that did this with his Kukenam w/annex.

He keeps most of the fabric to the outside, leaving a low spot for the ladder to fit.

Here's what I used. Sorry I don't have pics of them actually in use.
I used these pipe routing clamps.
And a length of conduit. Put one of the clamps at each end of the conduit and it's attached with a single screw and a hose clamp. It spans from the rainfly support bow to the bow that supports the canopy. Cost me less than $10 to make two of them. Got all the parts at Lowe's. But they can be ordered from somewhere like McMasterCarr too. I tried a single one, but found that two of them works better.

Pics or a diagram would be helpful. I'd be happy if it was drawn in crayon.Here's what I used. Sorry I don't have pics of them actually in use.

Here ya go. This was easier that setting up my tent to get a photo. Obviously not to scale. Use your imaginations.Pics or a diagram would be helpful. I'd be happy if it was drawn in crayon.

I have a question?
I am planning on picking up a RTT early next spring. I will be mounting it on my trucks flatbed. What other type of mounting provisions are there for this app. Something I would prefer not drilling holes into my flatbed. Do you have anything that would widen the mounting rails and secure to a stack pocket? Something like a extrusion that slides inside the rails with a L tab on the end.
The bed in questions is a B&W elite series flatbed.

Tepui does not sell something like what you described but I don't see it being too difficult to have some kind of rack built that can drop into your stake pockets.
