Why would I want ESS. That's been disabled long ago. Also, this is my gladiator for overlanding. What makes you think two 27 series batteries is a lousy system. Lol
Ya, not looking to add another battery under the hood. I have the H7 AGM under there now and an Odyssey Extreme 27f to either replace it or use as a house battery til the main dies. I also use an Ecoflow Delta 2 in the cab for the fridge/radios/etc... I've done full build outs with solar and dc...
Question, if Jeep thinks it's ok to add that little aux battery connected directly to the main battery, then why couldn't I extend heavy cables to the rear and just replace the aux battery with a full size one? Not lithium of course but a deep cycle agm. Even add an isolator like the old days so...
Like new, used 2 nights on one trip. Free-spirit recreation roof top tent. Fits a JLU perfectly. Sets up very fast with gas struts on each side. Insulated ceiling. Columbia 3 inch memory foam mattress topper. Bought new in August for $2400, asking $1950. 563.581.6223
@VS2000 Well it was a 1000 mile weekend with some rough, rocky, and muddy forest service roads. The dee zee rack held up just fine. My only issue is after a day of driving in the rough areas the feet would back off and I would have to snug them back against the roof. A little blue loctite will...
It seems solid so far. This weekend will be about 800 mile road trip with some rough forest roads. I'll report back if I have any issues. At 124 pounds I lifted the tent up there myself and it really doesn't effect driving.
Installed my FSR GS 55 today in the dee zee hex rack. I used 3 bars across the rails and used 4 gutter clamps. Super secure and stable with the 6 feet on the top. I took the front portion off as I didn't need it and I can still take the freedom panels off easily.
Awesome. My FSR Adventure 55 tent arrives tomorrow and I'm stoked! Headed to the way north of the UP this weekend so I'll post some pics if it with the dee zee hex rack also.
They say specifically not to connect the front and rear roof sections with one rack in the instructions. They do sell the 24 inch racks separately so you can put one on front and one on back of the 2 door.
Do you have a pic showing the rear? I ordered this rack as well and am looking at the same tent. Trying to decide if I can have the tent open to the rear and still swing the tailgate open with the ladder down. Thanks
