Hopping onto the train here, I don't own much BROG products yet but what I've bought/used are fantastic. Customer service was quick to get back to me and help me get something right before a big trip I took last year. Can't wait to get the MaxTrax bag in the future, looks great!

I'm a huge fan of the North Face Base Camp Duffel bags. Ultra durable, waterproof (to a point), and a good variety of sizes. Having the backpack straps on them is also a nice feature, in case you have to haul them around. Bags are weatherproof enough to be strapped to the roof with little worry...

I actually don't mind it at all, I end up sleeping with my head down that way so I can look out the MASSIVE windows in the front. If you're concerned I'd go with an Evasion, but I have found the storage useful (especially for any wet items I don't want in the Jeep). I'd go with black over grey...

I'd go with black, but supposedly they can get a bit hot when they're out in the sun all day. I love the Explorer, the 360 windows offer great airflow and views when I'm set up, and it's been a perfect size for me so far. I've only had it since early 2017, but it's been fantastic using it this...

Hey, my calling. I've got an 2014 Anvil JKU with a grey JB Explorer, the JB is a bit lighter than the anvil. I did buy the JB used, @Rino do you think mine is faded at all? Not sure if new JBs are darker. Here's some photos of it with no filter...

I'll offer ya 25% of your overall purchase price so you can get in on this preorder ;)

Please explain the setup! Looks interesting and I'd love to hear about it, especially since I'm thinking of doing a skiing and camping trip this winter.

Enjoying a lazy Sunday afternoon in the woods Pretty sure setting this up in the woods behind my house is the grown-up equivalent of setting up a tent in the basement to "camp" as a kid

VT is absolutely incredible man, you should plan a trip up once you get that UrsaMinor! MSO has done a great job capturing it so far this season, I'm loving it. Thanks! I think this time I'll just go big and hit up Warn for a winch. I've heard some good things too but also unfortunately some...

Yeah man, Vermont is simply awesome! I can't wait to get back in the spring. I haven't called yet, but I was looking forward to an upgrade anyway. I'll see if they can fix it up and maybe put it on a trailer to haul logs onto, or see if I can give it to a friend in need. If the qtec was...

We had an awesome time at VOR this year, best weather you can ask for and great people to hang with. Got to test out the new Xventure XV-3 trailer, and it was absolutely awesome. Per usual, the trails were incredible. Some awesome views along the way and plenty of chances to get a bit...

I was caught in a wicked thunderstorm this past July while I was in my RTT. Half asleep, I crawled into my Jeep and tried to fold the seats down before curling up in the passenger seat. Just didn't think it was worth the extra bit of OK sleep to risk it, though I bet I wouldn't have slept much...

Dude, awesome! Can't wait to see how this all turns out for you!

I run this setup with a JB Explorer and didn't have to drill holes into the platform. The JB mounts straddle the thinner cross/support bars under the larger platform decking, if that makes sense. FWIW, I love the setup. I've considered going to racks instead of the platform, but I don't know if...

No, attach it to the fabric handle in the rear (that attaches to the inside of the top of the tent). Usually leave about 6 inches of gap to tuck fabric in.

Sorry to OP for more off track discussion but quick pro tip to help with closing (that I learned from Rin at OK4WD) - use a tie down on the rear loop and attach it to the hitch/bumper. Get the tent close to latching, use the tie down, then tuck in the fabric, bedding, etc.

Adding my 2 cents here, too, as a JB Explorer owner and my dad now owning a new Explorer: - I know of the chemical smell mentioned above. I aired out my tent for about 4 days straight and my dad's for a bit longer (nice warm weather, all windows open). It helped immensely and sort of went to a...

I run a RhinoRack platform with my JB tent up there, notice a small chance in mileage but nothing drastic (when the tent is up there, I see a difference). I agree that you can shave a few pounds by running bars instead of the platform, but I opted to stick with the platform since I hoist the...

Finalizing my prep for Vermont Overland Rally this weekend! Can't wait to get up there. Not much has changed with the Jeep in the last month or two (besides putting the awning back on), but my dad picked up an awesome Xventure XV-3, so we'll be pulling that up to Vermont with us. I'll be...

ACE sliders (or another slide with a bar that protrudes of the side) work well. I end up walking from the sliders to the rear tire, and then will swing the rear gate open and walk on my AEV bumper. Works out for me now since my tent takes up the entirety of the rack when it's up there. When I...
