It was blowing about 50mph and puring rain, so the photo is a little blurry, but recently mounted the KC Gravity Pro6 bar, so took advantage of a chance to light it up!
Hey crew-
We have been running a 2 door Jeep JK w/RTT and I have been thinking about a move to a van platform for about a year or so. It seems I've shifted/refined ideas every time we've done a trip in the JK (and once in a rented Transit). Always my base concept has been around a mid-roof...
I went with a hardshell earlier this year : the Dart by Eezi-Awn. I have only had it out on a couple of trips, most recently a week in the Green Mountain National Forest in Vermont as something of a gear shakedown for longer trips. For perspective, I have been an ultralight bicycle-based...
An elderly resident of our small community was killed in a hit and run accident yesterday. My wife was an EMT on scene and reports were that the woman fought like hell to hang on. We didn't know her name until this morning and then connected it to a profile done two years ago about her post...
Following along eagerly. Just pulled the trigger on a 2019 Ranger as well! Have a Jeep (2 door) all built, so not sure what will happen with the Ranger, but I do really like the truck. Looking at lighting, tire swap, and a rack system. Enjoy!
I was super close to going with the Baroud and awning/tunnel. It's a great combo. In the end I was at the Eezi-Awn Dart, the Baroud Extreme (or a model which could take the tunnel/awning attachment, and the Autohome Columbia. Considered others like Roofnest and iKamper as well.
Final choice...
Fresh arrival! Went with the Eezi-Awn Dart. Cheers to Kristin and Lola and the crew at Equipt for getting this done for me.
Just managed to get this up on the racks before the rain came today. Will get better pictures soon. I'll work up a full review to follow.
Ok-Now I have added the Eezi-Awn (Dart) to the decision matrix. Looks like another well-built unit. The rear-awning is definitely in my feature wish-list. (As pointed out- not so much for entry, but for the ability to leave something open in rain.)
As someone who might have more miles by water on sailboats than on 4 wheels (so far), I feel like this time can be equated to the armchair navigating we do in the northeast all winter as we dream up expeditions and cruises. I am eager to work out some missing pieces on the Jeep, attend to some...
In the last throes of picking a clamshell style RTT. Really leaning towards the Autohome Columbus Variant but have seen that quite a few other tents of this style have struts to support a mini-awning/rainfly over the back window and neither the Columbus or something like the Baroud Extreme do...
