Just to add more 1st hand experience, I have ran several KOs, and the last set was a KO2. I've experience zero issues for their entire tread life. Balanced easily. Seemed flat. Did not induce DW, and no punctures.

What made you go with this over the other brands?

Do we have any knowledge or rumors on the Alu-Cab Canopy Camper for the Jeep JT Gladitor?

Looks like there is a new tent out there similar to Alu-Cab, but with some interesting tweaks. Anyone see this in person and able to compare it to Alu-Cab? https://www.thebushcompany.net

Power! Does anyone have closeups of how Alu-Cab is routing power inside their tent?

Dang. I even searched to keep from double posting.

Looks like Four Wheel Campers is coming out with a new model called the Project M. This makes sense since the market is moving towards lightweight shells that allow users to customize as needed. https://fourwheelcampers.com/model/project-m/ General thoughts from the group? How will this fair...

I ended up going with a hard shell. Speed of setup and packing were the main goals. Rarely am I in the same camp spot two nights in a row. I have a full thread on the install and my experience so far. https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/automhome-columbus-variant-review.206123/

Interesting.

Anyone know what brand of tent the new defender is sporting? It looks like the Columbus Variant, but the side doors are different

I just want to know what rooftop tent this is. It looks like the Columbus Variant, but the doors are slightly different.

I'm going to start modifying the Autohome Columbus Variant that I just mounted in the Garvin Wilderness and posted up here: https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/automhome-columbus-variant-review.206123/ There are few things I want to do right away. Mount a Shoe Bag Gimp on the...

Now on to general impression and 1st night's sleep. First Autohome customer service. After meeting Mike S, Frenchie, and the rest of the team at Overland Expo, I was sure it would be a great experience, but working with Andrew for the whole procurement, shipment, and general idea sounding...

Now of course if you want to use the ladder, don't have a spare tire, or deploying a 270 awing, it is super easy to set as well.

Glamour Shots. (note the tent is not taught, as we did not undo the inner bungee cords. Rain was already starting to fall and we need a quick escape).

Then enjoy the tent!

One of the huge benefits of the Jeep platform form and the use of an Autohome is the ability to NOT use the supplied ladder. Using the Front runner Spare Tyre Ladder, it is actually easier and more secure feeling to use this method.... Then just open the tent.

Since, it is fully secure, it is time for some glamour shots. Sadly, bad weather was moving in, but at least these show how well the tent sits inside the Garvin rack and the overall integration on the jeep.

Once installed, here is what it looks like. (ignore the huge carriage bolt in the foreground, that is what holds the Cross Bars to the outside edge of the rack.) Here is a cross shot showing some of them installed (not tightened yet). As you can see it really cleans up the underside.
