It's not the sleekest-looking solution, but we like having the extra room up top.

Very cool. I saw that there's a CA-based group order coming up, but if that doesn't work out for ya, I highly recommend Tom @ Adventure Ready.

We love the JB tent... the storage space on the extreme versions is very handy as well.

Here's mine I just put on my 80.

It's a GRaid XXL mounted to a Rhino Rack Pioneer Platform rack. The Rhino Rack was the widest rack I could find at 56" wide. If people find this tent hard to open and close, I think there are other issues at hand. First couple tries and it's less than 1 minute to open and 2 minutes to close with no hangups. I will say, the ladder is completely useless and terrible. It doesn't lock and has plastic tabs that broke the first try climbing up.

Haven't had a chance to take it out on a trail yet to see how much the width may get in the way.

Looks great. What did you do for another ladder?

 

[Shoredreamer]

Thanks! I just bought a locking telescoping ladder like most RTTs have. Came with a bag so just throw that in the tent.

Absolutely no problem with my Grand Raid ladder. Using it now for year. Love the tent......
