Installed thinnest / lightest RTT roof top tent I could find on our 2-Door Bronco

[EvanPeterson]

Overlander with sass? Rocklander? Idk what to call it… but we added the RUGGED Hard Shell RTT and I think it’s a perfect match for our style of Bronco’ing

they make a soft-shell that’s lighter and slimmer… but this one is the lightest hard shell. I probably would have been fine with a soft-shell… but in my head hard-shell was the only way to go,

thanks for watching!

Getting pretty close to the specs of the Inspired Overland tents (carbon fiber, their hardshell, is 80 pounds and 4.75" without mounting bars & 5.25" with the mounting bars) - looking good!

It was announced earlier this year, before March, I don't recall the exact date. I saw them at MOORE Expo '24 and they told me they allowed pre-orders originally for 1 month, but they got so many they stopped taking them after 3 weeks

They're in the process of delivering those pre-orders now and to my knowledge are on track to be done with those pre-orders this month

It's really sleek in person, way better than I was expecting. The guy who started IO actually came from the team that worked on the GFC SuperLite v1 - he wanted to make changes to it to improve it, but the v2 project kept getting pushed back (still unknown release date), so he left and started his own thing

I saw a post somewhere (I think on their FB page) with upcoming additional accessories for it, the one that I recall is a self-inflating mattress custom to the tent

That’s a hybrid no? Still fabric top?

This tent looks very good. Thanks for posting your review.

What brand and size ladder are you using? Looks like a perfect fit for this set-up..

Thanks!

TBH, it was just the ladder BAT sells with the tent. It’s a decent ladder, but I’d imagine there’s a few out there that are even more rigid… but probably exponentially more pricey!

my wife jokingly (at least I think she was joking) said I should add one of those rope rung ladders that they used on playgrounds when we were kids… just to mess with people at campsites

Ah yep, I think you're right. I have the original Aspen and it's ~130lbs, shedding 30 pounds would definitely be nice

130 still isn’t that bad at least… one of the first ones I looked at was like 160ish!

To be fair, I have nothing against soft tops. I just figured I’d be more likely to tear it with the places i find myself driving into.

I have had the FSR Aspen Lite for over a year and run through the Ozarks and Ouachitas a lot with it. I am constantly scrapping through trees and such with it. It’s held up great. I think it’s the best low profile/ light weight RTT there is. I had a Go Fast Superlite before this Aspen Lite and there is no comparison. I couldn’t get rid of that Superlite fast enough. The FSR is way easier to pop up and down. The design is way better than the typical wedge tent. I can almost stand up in it at 6’ tall. Their mattress is great as well and awesome customer service. I’m never going back to a typical wedge shaped tent.
