I've never had a rooftop tent but wish I did once. I unwittingly picked a low spot while camping in the Florida panhandle and a flash rain came in that night. I woke up my buddy and said "dude, get up, we're floating".

someone could always go for a set of these. $30If you invest that much money into a roof top tent, make sure you bring some cut pieces of wood or something to level out your tires. You really need to be level while using one of those. They also change the center of gravity by a lot. You'll know it's up there.
I've become more inclined to sleep in a hammock over a tent lately. Zero back pain and just a treat to sleep in. The last time was in the late fall, no leaves on the trees, woke up in the middle of the night and watched the moon and stars for a while then fell back asleep like a baby.
I've seen someone attach a fixture to the trailer hitch for a hammock mount and then you can stake the other end out or use just one tree. If you are overlanding with buddies you can just tie up to other trucks.
Approach and departure angles are lacking.I’m partial to the Jezza special
Everything I saw was in my comment. Not going to bother for more. Patiently waiting for Monday.Great, are you going to keep us in suspense or give us a little insight?
Ive floated in Florida, Ohio, and Myrtle Beach lol!I've never had a rooftop tent but wish I did once. I unwittingly picked a low spot while camping in the Florida panhandle and a flash rain came in that night. I woke up my buddy and said "dude, get up, we're floating".
Ive found a shovel and or rocks works nicely. Even just a couple clicks on the hi-lift to unload the suspension a touch. Ive parked on some serious inclines. Steep enough that it would suck to mow. Dig on lil hole for the highest tire, drive the opposing tire on a chunck of wood or rock and finish it off with a few inches of hi lift. I even bring a lil level sometimes to check.If you invest that much money into a roof top tent, make sure you bring some cut pieces of wood or something to level out your tires.

4.7:1 Locking Differentials.What is 4.7 Electronic-locking Front and Rear Axle?
Shit, just keep driving and the deer will be diving up front of youI'm just thinking this is a perfect moveable deer blind....
thinking about it though, guess that won't work too well if the Bronco is bright red...
There’s also automatic locking (mechanical, no power needed) differentials that lock until they sense you’re going around a corner then unlock.4.7:1 Locking Differentials.
(Electric because there also compressed air systems that exist.)
FIFYThe other thing is, with a ground tent you can set up camp and go (forgive me)"jeeping""off-roading", hunting , fishing whatever with your rig. With vehicle mounted you need to tear down every time you want to go somewhere.
No I have not. My buddies that had diesels were all older models. I've only recently learned that after treatment was even a thing.You haven't been around many modern light-duty diesels, have you? They are just as quiet as gas engines, and the aftertreatment systems do away with black smoke and stinky exhaust.
How do you know?FUCK, no powered convertible top AGAIN
