Looks like someone had to go against the grain and skip the sunrider.
They all have sunriders now. They bought the Jeeps and campers to goto Alaska for the summer of 2027 with me and my wife. So I am going to get them for another $20,000 too.

Buddy of mine has a piece of fabric he strings around a ladder so the dog can walk up and down on her own. Now, this is on top of a subaru, not sure if that would work with something this high...

Hi folks.
have a question - may be some can suggest me good roof racks for my Sahara JLU, 2021?
All i see on the market is just a Rhino.. But im really not exited to pay 1.5k for it. Even i need to drill my roof (ok with it).
Main purpose is to carry my roof top tent. Its weight abt 50 kgs.. +me and +some guys.. to total could be around 200 kgs.
Thus i can use just any light weght roof racks fastening on the side bars only.
What you think?

Thanks in advance.

Well, I would look up the dynamic load & the static load of the rack & tent. If you want something that will last and you will be happy with. Go with the Gobi Roof Racks. The ole sayin' goes, "Buy once cry once."

Buy cheap, & cry; because it doesn't perform or meet your standards, then cry again when you buy the better one." Help your wallet out & buy once, cry once, & be happy."

I have the Rhino Pioneer Platform and it has been great for several years w zero issues. I started w RTT on top of Jeep but last year moved to a smaller trailer. It sucked being immobile while tent was out. Now I can set up trailer, go explore, winch bud out if stuck, etc.

Im not mentioning it, but mine jeep is 4xe.
And im planning to arrange sleeping place at mu trunk. Ok, its not a problem to assemble some platform (doe to battery step). Bit i’ve didnt found any report of how people sleep there after its done))) so many videos of how to cut wood, check dimensions, place it there and so on. But really no any review on their job done))) like - we are for the process, not for result..

I've tried it. I built a pretty good platform that is contained in the back with the back seats up, and then I lay the back seat down to deploy the platform. Works fine, but since the platform has to extend above the folded up seat bottoms to get about 6 feet of length with the door closed, it is pretty tight to the rollbar. Fine for sleeping, but can feel like sleeping in a coffin:

I ended up buying a tailgate tent for extended camping:

I bought this used ambulance a month ago and am in the process of converting it to an RV. When done, it will house me, my girlfriend, and my dog on weekend camping trips in the Idaho woods. Having a custom Class V hitch welded up so it will tow my Jeep or two ATVs.
