    Good luck with the U-joints. I like the steel wheels you went with on jeep. I have my factory steel wheels on my truck. I ran 15x9 Outlaws IIs for about 3 months one time, and I hated it.

    U-Joints can be a tuffy, so i've heard. I really like the steel look over my previous wheels. The good ol'e Dodge... Square headlights ftw.

    All right, so I am anticipating a piece, or should I say pieces, of cargo for this summer. In order to stow this cargo, I had to purchase a roof rack.
    What I picked up:
    4- Yakima 1A Raingutter Towers
    2- Yakima 58" Crossbars
    1- Yakima 48" Fairing

    I only payed $115 for this set-up... thanks to CL.

    All right, so I got my RTT squared away. I got in on a killer Groupbuy through gitout.com. The deal? 30% off. Perhaps this was not the best timing, since i'll be moving in August, but I honestly could not just pass up this killer deal. I easily saved over $500+ dollars, due to the 30% off retail price and $200+ for shipping. The company, CVT/Cascadia Vehicle Tents, is an upcoming RTT company that happens to be based right on the other side of the Cascades from me in Bend, OR. After reviewing their products, as well as reading testimonials, my mind was set on purchasing one of their products. The owner, Bobby Culpepper, is one exceptional man. Bobby, and his employee, conduct their business very professionally and are second to none when it comes to customer service.

    Every time I called Bobby, he always picked up. The questions or concern I had were always responded time with help and suggestions. I am glad I got in on this group buy, as well as the chance to support an Oregon-based company. Anywho, enough with the spiel and now some pics!

    I like the color of the mattress in your tent. Sure wish mine didn't have some motif borrowed from a Granny's yard sale. Its a camping tent... Why does it need floral print or stripes?
    Do you have to squat much to walk under the tent when its opened?

    Now that's funny.
    I have to squat a tad, but it is pretty spacious in there. Granted, I am only 5ft 7in.

    Yeah... My RTT is mounted on my CJ8 Scrambler right now. I'm 6' but the jeep is SOA on 35s so I don't worry. Now once it goes on my stock XJ I will be inspired to start lifting it I'm sure.

    With the help of my good friend Nikson, I was able to successfully tackle my crusty u-joints. Spicer 5-760X.
