No Elite Overland owners here?

I think the tepui is now unobtainium. Thule has down sized the lineup it seems. The cvt is now on the shortlist, thanks!

The rails are 72" wide, and the trailer is outfitted to accept a tent 96" long, opened front to back. I want to find a RTT that is wider, but does NOT have the vestibule and annex that typically come with the larger tents.

I have the standard Tough Stuff Delta Overland RTT mounted to a utility trailer via rack towers and cross members.

I this k the dimensions are the key as well as the deletion of the vestibule hood over the doors. Ultimately, I think the CVT or Tepui will work if the Tuff Stuff Elite Overland has it's the vestibule as a permanent part of the tent vs. being removable. Also, it's pretty key for me to be able to...

While I wait to hear about specifics on the TuffStuff Elite Overland (separate post) I thought I would reach out to get some ideas on 4-person sized RTT's. Specifically, I'm looking for one that has around 72" to 80" width. Also, and pretty key point, I need one WITHOUT the extended vestibule...

Hello all. My wife and I have a TS Delta Overland currently, and absolutely LOVE it. It has been a delightful purchase...with one exception...we wish it were bigger(wider). For just the wife and me it's perfect. But we adventure with a 70# dog the tends to sleep DIAGONALLY at a 45* angle to...

Tent will be mounted fully front, opening to the rear. The rails are short. So room for storage if I build drawers under the tent, or find boxes that can slide under. Maybe a foot or so tall under the tent. So room for storage, but maybe not so much in the way of tubs. Open, the tent and the...

Ok, thanks for this response. Exactly the kind of brainstorming I was hoping for! Thanks!

Hello all! The 80-series Landcruiser has seen many miles since purchase two years ago. It has now become time to add to it's capability by adding a RTT. Sleeping on the ground for so many years has become tiresome as I enter my dotage. In that vein, I had always intended to buy a RTT and camp...

I just saw the sickest 60 last night at my local 4x4 Meetup. An 89(?), But had an LS 1 Chevy swapped in it. So sweet

Nice truck Wes....a real looker.

Mr. Crusher! Take us out of "mundane" speed and engage locked differential drive.....make it so! Sorry, couldn't resist. Yes, I totally agree. The pickups were, while very light in comparison, very good off-road vehicles. Contrary to most I normally just used them stock, or very close to...

Late In getting to this party, but.... First, I have been a long time Toyota pickup driver. All 22r, early/mid 80's. All 4wd. Some we're modded when I got them, some bone stock. Seemed to me, the stockers always felt more ... I don't know...happy(?) As it turned out, any p/u I got that had...

Here she is in all her de-flared and de-running board glory. My first Land Cruiser. 1994, 230+k on the clock, unlocked, poverty package, and a very proud, yet skittish new owner. Such a great ride. Can not WAIT to get her baselined and start dialing her in for some "Glamping" if we can get...
