    I've heard good things about the Smittybilt Overland too, it's the same price as the Tuff Stuff Delta ($899) online and they look almost the same. Went with the Tuff Stuff because of their cash discount when you pick up in person.

    I'm leaning more towards the smittybilt because i know they go for 10-20% off sometimes at 4wheelparts.

    If you pull them apart would you just do the BHLM? It's a decent amount of work to pull them apart to simply seal them back up after.

    Tuff Stuff Delta is identical to the smittybilt overlander. Get whichever is a better deal!
    The mounting parts and material feel and look identical to CVT just as a heads up.
    The CVT tents do have nicer zippers and some other features which are nice.

    Well assuming I don't break them, I'd do the retrofit including the BHLM. Just holding off buying the retrofit kit in the event that I do break the headlights

    Good to know. I don't really hear anything about other brands of RTT. All I see are CVT, Tepui, and ARB

    Thanks for the info.

    Ah gotcha! Didn't think you could be down without headlights for so long.



    Here's the tuff stuff -

    Nice, I had to mount mine so that it unfolds/opens toward the back of the truck, over the tailgate...my Avid bed rack wasn't quite wide enough for the mounting rails to do it over the side. I was bummed at first but it's still high enough that I can access the tailgate with the tent opened up.

    We had to make the mount, but ended up with exactly what @YotaGurlIAm wanted :)

    You got it to fit under the softopper? Nice! That must have been pretty snug haha. Mines a bit wider than the bed but probably because of the orientation of the tent.
