    Crazy that they've sold out... I went with the old Smittybilt 2nd gen. It has been awesome so far and got it on sale form 4 Wheel parts.

    Site says they stopped production because they don’t want to outsource to China

    Keeping it as made in America as possible. I have the Superlite and you can see the flaws of the fabric when it is outsourced to China.

    Yeah the straps to hold the poles in place are too short making them useless. Both sides of the stitching don't match either, etc... it's nitpicking but hey I paid almost $2k for a RTT with my hard earn money. I appreciate GFC for stopping the production for it.

    I’d hope they have a gen 2, even if it’s a little more $, we have a gen 1 for our Subaru. We’ll find out how it holds up this summer.

    I have a Frontrunner rack which made it easy to design a mount using a RAM ball and a 5” arm. The base of the ball is mounted to a piece of 1/4" angle aluminum. It is attached to the top of the rail by an M8 nut and bolt. No matter the terrain, the RAM ball/arm connection is very solid. An added bonus is that the ladder doesn't contact the tent, so there is no wearing of the fabric.




    I made the spreader bars using 1/4” aluminum rod and 5/16” rivnuts in the base to hold the butt end of the rod.

    Dang, finally decided to pull the trigger, and they no longer make it. That's a real bummer!

    same boat with me.... but like a few months ago. I have called them and they may come back, but no official answer. You can go to their forum and find people selling them. But as you can imagine, you need to be in the right place where these are hard to ship. Mostly all local pick up when they pop up.

    good luck!

    GFC has an announcement coming on 9/20/22. According to the preview post on IG it's not a supernate replacement, but I can dream...

    They only have around 500 units stored away and they will be putting 120 of them up for sale on their site this Friday (11/25) for $1,500 shipped to your door. The remainder will be sold as they're assembled, so it is limited. They also stated they will be releasing a new all-American made version late next year.

    There's an early release of them for people who read their email that went out:

    "We’ll be putting 120 live on Thanksgiving day, at 7pm Pacific"

    Chance to grab one before everyone else does on Friday

    These went super fast. Both for the mailing list exclusive drop and the public drop. Both times by the time I hit submit the cart updated and the Superlite was gone.

    Crazy fast… I was lucky enough to get my order in on last nights drop, I was sitting there waiting for 7 to hit on the dot. They’ll have more coming, they mentioned on their IG this morning the next drop will only have about 80 units, no date announced yet though.

    Edit: I spoke to soon, they just released the new drop date, Friday December 9th, 7PM PST.
