Roof Top Tents
Looking for some direction when it comes to rooftop tents. If its a topicthats been beat to death then pls point me in the right direction. I saw 1 that I really like that attached directly to the hardtop and looked like a canvas box.

The first one that comes to my mind is the ARB:
"www.arbusa.com/Products/Touring-And-Camping-Gear/Rooftop-Tents/43.aspx"
Edit: These guys are local (for me at least), so I might go with them. Plus I like that it's a full ripstop fabric, for handling our "Wet Coast" weather.

Here is one thread and a second one, another, a different one, and one more - all with some pics to get you started.
Check out the Gobi rack as a possbile starting point too.

I've seen these in person and they are top quality, very similar in design to the ARB, but roughly half the price. Very well built, and easily mounted to any JK (full) roofrack. Come in 3 different sizes. It's definitely on my list.
Check out their accessories too. Pretty cool stuff.
