Hey RT, not sure about loss of integrity of the RR as I don't think the 6x 8mm holes in the frame will weaken the structure

referring to the design I looked at using the MBRP light bar but this would put the lights in line of sight (my view through the window).......not ideal..... as the lights are very sleek (small) putting them direct on the roof rack is best. I have a ARB tent coming so will keep you in the loop. cheers Mark

I am running 37"s and have decided to run the spare in the Jeep and try to come up with exactly what you have mounted on the back of yours.

Trappistmonk, cheers !!!

Hey Mike, indeed I designed and my local machine shop manufactured the two gerry can design, see some more pictures below. I had no problems with weight on the tail gate during the expedition and I would say it is approx as heavy as a spare tire. The weight is approx 100lbs with fuel, again not experience any issue.

Tent is great. How long is set up time after it's installed? Flip and done or more complicated?

Hi, the ARB tent is very easy to set up, min I would say, just pull out the ladder and fold open the tent. With the mattress in it already it is just a matter of opening the windows and bob's your uncle. No pegs nothing :-)
