This is a short video showing how to set up the CVT roof top tent on the top of my lifted Jeep XJ Cherokee. You can learn more about renting my Jeep and book it for your next adventure at www.outdoorsy....
Thanks but I still consider it a work in progress. Wheels and tires are from a Jeep Rubicon, mounted with wheel adapter spacers to get the correct bolt pattern. The lift is a Rough Country long arm kit, which I will soon upgrade with Fox shocks to improve the ride a bit. The rear bumper with tire carrier is from Smittybilt. A remanufactured TUPY cylinder head from a 2003 WJ is going on this week, to replace the troublesome head from the 2000-2002 model years. I am also going to regear the axles to match the larger tires; the parts are on my shelf and I just need to find a good week to do the work
@@kendelmccarley Bought my XJ Classic new in 2000. 208000 miles No leaks No oil consumption no problems ever. 4.5 inch Rubicon Express several years ago. No other mods.Love your overlander
Have you noticed any bending in gutter rails. I put a smitty bilt on mine and noticed a bit of flex in the rails. Im wondering if i get another rail if it would reduce that flexing.
That’s a Cherokee not a grand Cherokee
Lol I didn’t even notice they said the wrong thing but they are a lot different 😂 I would be insulted if someone called my Xj a grand Cherokee 😂
@@jus.me.tanzks5834 EXACTLY!!! LOL

the dims on those Falken Wildpeak?
I recognize the Rincon mountains!
Very Nice XJ setup.No aftermarket junk here

I Can tell you rn it’s a hit and miss some
Bend some don’t it depends how much you spread the load out via multiple mounts
Nice tent sirr do you think it will fit 2 adults and 2 kids?
It's the width of a King but 8 inches longer. Whether it will fit two adults and two kids depends on how much they wiggle.
@@kendelmccarley like a king size mattress oh for sure we will fit thanks.
Where can I buy the cross bar?
The crossbars are old school Yakima round bars on gutter mounts. A set is usually under $100 on Craigslist.
I can set up and pack away my ground tent quicker than you can unpack your rtt. And it doesn't add a load of weight or height to the roof of my WJ.
what a pain
