    Hay Big Boy, Check Out My Rack!

    Like most projects that are done with little planing there are things I would change if I did it again but it will work for me. At least for now.

    so i have a few questions, I'm looking at a setup for a low profile pack rack in the back, with a roof top tent on top of it, I was looking at tepui tents but at 1k+ thats a little much, anybody have any other brands or avenues of getting one cheaper, also any other fabricators that make pack racks

    I ordered a pair of 225w LED spots for my bumper. I'm going to apologize in advance for whoever is in front of me, because they're supposed to be insanely bright.

    Have you looked at https://www.gofsr.com/ for a tent?
    I found them this weekend. They also have hard top tents listed on craigslist that are not on their site.
    A couple of the smaller 1 -2 person tents are under $1000 w/ free shipping and that includes the extra enclosure.
    I'm not affiliated with them, just sharing what i found.

    When I get back from Big Bend next month this rack maybe for sale because I started drawing the next version this morning.

    $1k is pretty much the price to play. There's a couple brands that'll get you is a little lower but not by much. Freespirit Rec has one at $895. Plus I just noticed that they have free shipping on all tents right now, which will save you $200 to $300. Smittybilt also starts at $900. Tepui $925. Geo $995. CVT $1095. Keep in mind the cheaper they are the smaller they are. Each one of those is about 48"-54" wide. Smaller or close to a full size mattress.
