[Thecriscokid]

Still working on that. Goal is to have it available at a comparable level to a high quality rack and roof tent set up

Now this is what I'm talking about!

Sign me up! I would much prefer this over a rtt. Looks like very low center of gravity as well. Seems like weight gets pretty high with a roof rack and then z rtt on top of that, but I've never driven with one so it's just speculation!

Looks interesting.

I'm curious about the height it adds. It looks like it might fit in our garage (but maybe not.) Most useful would be a measurement of height above the drip rail, as this would allow easy comparison for those of us with restricted overhead clearance. Overall height is too much dependent on suspension and other variables of the vehicle.

Interior picts?

I'm curious about these extra holes that have to be put in the roof. Am I reading it right that there would be another sunroof added, and another access hole?
