Oh ok sweet it uses the same T channel mounting method as most other tents. Yeah it'll be an easy install without the roof panels on. Just remove the front 3 (I did it while at the person's house who I picked up the NIB tent from and just laid them in their lawn lol).
If the M8 hex cap bolts...
What tent are you buying? I need to film a YouTube video and was thinking of filming my "1 Year of Ownership" type of video so I can showcase the tent and how it's mounted for you (also how to remove the roof panels)
Yep the front 3 panels all come off. The middle one comes off just the same as the front two. You unlatch it and lift slights and pull out between the roll bar and roof rack. Super easy - no real trick to it.
Fixed it! Pretty easy. I'd say my technique was wrong. When you install it - push up into the fairing as well as into it. So sort of pushing back toward the rear of the car and up into the groove diagonally. That's what really helped me get it to lay flat.
I knew it could look way cleaner...
So I ordered the stuff from other reviews. Seems to be working, just need to figure out how to make the one on the front fairing to look a little less....jank.
Filled in the first two crossbars as they're currently empty - love how professional this looks (don't mind the dirt lol).
This...
Got a Roofnest Condor XL! I love the way it fits on top and it folds out to a King size.
To be able to take the roof panels off with the roof top tent on I got 30mm M8 bolts - no problem after that just as before! Also, here are some pics with the front 3 roof panels off for proof.
Two quick callouts: The front fairing and side pieces are all steel. The extruded cross bars are aluminum. Someone else asked me about that, so wanted to share it here as well.
The added height from the roof is 4" at the top of the button-head Allen screw. Keep in mind stock Broncos come...
It's definitely worth the test at this price point. Keep in mind it will reduce your MPG slightly, but again, I'm on 37s and heavy bead locks so it's not like I'm the most fuel-efficient to begin with.
For reference when I was completely stock with the sasquatch package and my driving style, I...
