Well, the Mickey Thompson Baja Claws I've been running for the past year needed to find a better home. Overall I really liked the Baja Claw. They were really good offroad and the only performance issue was that they would tend to "push" in hard corners while going fast in the dirt. Just a bit...

Just got word back but do not have a hard date. We do expect them to be in stock this month but I cannot guarantee we'll have them before the 13th.

The roof rails don't need to match the length of the tent. With the XL you might consider a third or even a 4th load bar to distribute load better. Position the load bars either in 1/3 equal spacing for 3 bars, and 1/4 equal spacing if you use 4. If you plan to just use two crossbars I would...

The bolt head is the important part so it "locks" into the slide bracket correctly. The bolt head should be 1/2" or 13mm. Thread pitch and length can be whatever you like as long as you get matching nuts.

I can't give you a positive answer just yet, but I'm checking status now and will report back.

As far as size goes, mounting to load bars works fine. However, the XL Ruggedized is a big tent as you know and you'll be pushing the limits of the factory rails capabilities. You might consider upgrading to a different roof mounted rack or load bars.

The tent will be fine if you decide to move it forward. It will come down to how you load your rack (but I don't foresee any issues with the Frontrunner rack) and any wind noise that might come from different placement. I don't think you'll notice much difference.

The supplied bolts are 2.5" long.

32" center to center on the mounting rails. Your factory rack can work but probably isn't ideal.

May has been busy. It started out with a trip that's been in the works for several months. The guys from Autocraft in Australia that make the Slinky kits and Redline Land Cruisers (their US Distributor) wanted to do an "overland" style trip and asked me to help with the route. It was...

Any zipper can get "tight" when exposed to dusty conditions. Tepui recommends periodic coating of the zipper with beeswax to keep it lubricated and working smoothly. Personally I spray a bit of silicone spray on the zipper after particularly dusty trips and it helps the zipper work buttery...

Take a look at the XL models from Tepui. The Kukenam XL will sleep 4, and the Autana XL will sleep 4 with room for more if needed in the annex.

It looks like the wear is on the portion covering the "cord" the slides into the base track and holds the canopy to the base of the tent. The good news is that this won't be a risk for leaks or any other structural issues. . I'm guessing you used the main email for Tepui when you contacted...

A couple of noteworthy things are the release of the patented "Zipper Gimp" feature being added to the full lineup of tents that allows canopies to be changed quickly. This feature will allow you swap (for example) from the Mesh or Ultralite canopy used on the Baja series tents to a Heavy Duty...

I'll double check status today but I know there is a good size shipment expected around the end of the month. Could be part of that.

The "slack" your seeing in the ladder is from it not being adjusted correctly. Mostly likely all it needs is for the bottom of the ladder to be pushed in closer toward the tent (making the ladder a bit more vertical). It won't take much to eliminate that slack and will compress the ladder...

shoot me a PM or email me directly at atolman@tepuitents.com and let me know how I can help. Placing the order with me is how you get the discount.

If you're attending Overland Expo West this weekend, be sure to stop by and check out some cool new stuff from Tepui.
