    One other Tepui question. With the new zipper option do those come with stargazers as well?

    Yep. The "SKY" windows and zipper gimp are standard on all Tepui tents. The more I consider the zipper gimp (and now having it) I'm realizing what a brilliant idea it is. It means you can buy one tent and have it last forever. It's unlikely the base and frames are going to wear out (especially with a ruggedized) but in 10 years if I need to replace a canopy, I don't need to buy another $2500 tent. Just need to buy a new canopy and I'm good for another decade. Or in my case, I have the Ruggedized canopy, but I'll likely be ordering a new Baja Ultralite canopy for that hot summer camping and have a perfect setup for warm or cold weather camping for a fraction of the cost of having two tents to accomplish the same thing. And Tepui wasn't kidding about how fast it is to change canopies. It's literally like 2 minutes. Kinda surprised me how much I liked the new feature when I got it last week.

    Awesome! I was going to sell mine and step up to a 3 person one to get the Sky option until I saw this option. Now I'm going to get the Baja canopy and the "standard" canopy for my Ayer base. Pretty pumped now! Not sure when I'll order but I'll be giving you a call :fistbump:

    The black anodizing on my Comeup Fairlead has faded over the past few years and wasn't looking great.

    Comeup has started offering a sweet replacement fairlead with a slightly different profile to match their "Comeup race team" fairleads. The matte black anodizing is much better quality too. I picked up the last one they have at the moment to replace my faded one. Nothing too exciting but it definitely looks better.

    Also picked up a spare t-case. I'll be swapping this one is (after I clean it up) and pulling the original to inspect the bearings. I'm getting some noise at freeway speed while coasting that I suspect is the output bearing.

    Lol. I assumed that. Reminds me of Arches. Went over there at Christmas with my kids. Arches with snow on the ground is awesome. Definitely doing that again.

    Arches is definitely cool and winter time in that area is awesome with the contrast of snow on the redrock.

    I was kinda vague in my response because it's not one area I could say we went to. We covered about 600 miles on the trip so it was from central Utah all the way to the south end and back up the eastern side.

    I am familiar with this noise. I have it when coasting around 55 and up, sound like a light gear whirring to me but it certainly could be bearings.

    Yep. I have nearly new Nitro gears and have had them checked and rechecked so it’s not the gears for me. Have checked driveshafts too which also check out.
