Cool. Did you buy those L brackets and clamp style brackets for crossbars or does it come with some hardware?

See anything new there Ron? I didn't. Claims its lighter.
Hard to tell- looks more like traditional tent nylon than canvas. Probably lighter and cooler but less sturdy. I'd like to see one in person. Yakima will probably blow RTT market open. Should mean lower prices. Good thing.
I think they rolled out the lightweight midget tent, because their crappy rack mounts can't hold a normal one. I've spent half of my overlanding trips playing with an allen wrench, trying to keep my tent from wandering off the rails and into the road (including one critically close encounter in Arkansas).
but that's all gonna be history now that my front runner rack is ordered and on the way. Roof rack = one step closer to #eaf.

I think the tent solution will be here tomorrow. Look for an update in the trailer thread soon.
@pmccraney dont bitch because you can't put a rack on. My big ass tent rode a month cross country on a Yakima rack and just rode 2 weeks across the south on a Yakima on the trailer.
In fairness, they changed the mounts. The old ones work much better (e.g. Nolen's work fine). All I know is that I have had @Bossman on the assist with the allen wrench on 2 separate trips and if the godfather of tools and fasteners couldn't make them hold, then I think it's fairly attributable to the product - and not the technician(s).
Sure... Throw me under the bus
Drawer system worked awesome last week. Saved a ton of time and organized everything. Well worth the time spent imo.
The raptor liner coating was also awesome. Was dirty as hell. Wet rag wipe down and looks shiny and new.

May want to go camping before the heat breaks.
Man up. You can't camp with AC. There are rules.
Screw that! A tent cot with 5,000btu's blowing in the door is freakin awesome.
this flagrant foul got called long ago with stylish pants, espresso and charcuterie paired with a good vintage. At this point, factoring a/c into the equation has a pretty negligible impact on our hard core street cred...
