Bought A Smittybilt Rooftop Tent for My Jeep Yj!
Рет қаралды 20,996
5 жыл бұрынDecided to change it up a bit, and try the smittybilt rooftop tent on my yj. I’ll do a review on it when I use it on a trip. My only concern so far is tree branches ripping the cover, but time will tell.

I've had mine for about 2 months the first time I took it out a tree branch poked right through the cover so yeah be careful I just forgot the tent was up there
@itsDeza 5 жыл бұрын
I bought the 3 year warranty with it so I drive through the woods and not worry about it to much. No holes in mine yet luckily. Did it damage the tent it self at all or only the cover?

Hey man I love the set up! I was thinking of buying a rooftop tent and I was wondering what rack you use and how it goes on. Do you think you could make a video or even just a quick explanation about the roof rack and how the tent is on there?

@markremillard1919 5 жыл бұрын
No the tent is okay and I think a little bit of black silicone will fix the whole okay. But my straps are really starting to look bad and I've only used it about a half a dozen times

Awesome setup! Thanks for sharing. I have the same tent but haven’t had the chance to install yet. I have a TJ with Garvin rack I bought a pair of additional crossbars to mount my smittybilt tent. UNTIL I saw your setup I realized I may NOT need the crossbars? I’m assuming you have a Garvin rack too? Looks like you installed the tent directly to the basket? I like the low profile look being directly bolted to the basket without crossbars. I am still debating whether to setup tent to open toward rear or side. Any suggestion? I want to be able to use some left over space on the roof rack. Anyway, BADASS jeep and tent you got there sir!! Thanks

Dee Gabs yep I got the garvin rack! All I had to do was cut a little off the slide in nut holders. Super easy to do! I like mine opening to the driver side. I have an arb awning off the back, so opening from the back wasn’t an option for me. I still have room in front of the tent for a plastic tote and 2 jerry cans! A plus to that is it helps protect the tent from tree limbs!

Just for the record, leaf springs are year 1800's technology. I've owned both tj and yj. I prefer coil springs any day. I once lifted my YJ and u couldnt ride in it no longer than 30 minutes due to it beating u to death.

I have a 95 yj and I also own a 93 t100 with torsion bar suspension in the front and I will by far drive the Jeep over the t100 any day. Leafs are better.

How’s the tent mounting holding up after 2 years? I’m trying to decide if I need the crossbar kit to mount my Smitty tent to my Garvin rack or if being supported by the corners of the mounting slides is enough.
@itsDeza 2 жыл бұрын
It’s holding up perfect! No problem at all being mounted straight to the rack. Never shifted or anything. I actually Broke an axle on hill climb and flew backwards down it into a friends xj, doing a fair bit of damage to both rigs and the tent didn’t even shift and mounts and rack still look a perfect as they did from day one

Joseph Lewis this is the Smittybilt rooftop tent. (Normal size, not xl) and my rack is a garvin industries. The bars that mount the rack to my Jeep, I custom made. If you have anymore questions or wanna see anymore just ask me or let me know and I can do a video of it!
