I've had my Siberian Husky since she was 5 weeks old. Having lived in Florida all her life (she is almost 11 years old), she has never seen snow. However, with the arrival of my Bronco and the Christmas holidays, all that changed. I'm terrible at editing, but I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Hi,

My roof top bag cost me $13 on Amazon around Black Friday! I absolutely love it. It kept everything dry and has the lowest profile of all these available soft bags at only 13 inches I believe. Perfect for camping gear. Here is the link.

My tent is a Napier Backroadz SUV tent. There are a couple of different versions online. The tent has a few elastic straps that connect to various points on the car to keep it secure. These suction cups also help a lot.

The tarp under the tent is a standard 10x10 Walmart tarp. The tent also came with a rain fly.

My car floor mats are TuxMats. You can find them here.

I see that you have changed the tires. How is your experience with Yokohama Geolanders. What is the reason for swapping the General Grabbers?

i wanted something bigger without a lift. I also had these same tires on my FJ Cruiser for a few years and used to run them at 5 psi while dune bashing in the desert. Sidewalls are very strong and they never let me down. Also great road manners on both dry and wet surfaces.

The Bronco is the best for bigger dogs , a bit more space for pups and gear.I love the deeper doors than my Jeep JK.
This summer we did a 700 km road and trial trip. We had a full rig 2 kids and my wife, plus a 140 lb Trooper with gear for a day trip.

Thank you.

There are 2 major issues when you combine that tent with the Bronco.

1) The rear of the car needs to be elevated by at least 4-5 inches to stop water from coming into the tent. I put my running boards under the rear tires after it started raining and that helped a little, but I needed more. For our next trip, I cut a couple of pieces of 2x8 to gain a couple more inches on top of the traction boards.

2) The tent only has one door, and it happens to be where the tailgate is. Instead of centering the tent around the car, I pulled it more toward the tailgate. That way, I could open the tent door, get in and stand between the tailgate and tent door, close the tent door, then maneuver around the tailgate to get in the middle! It's not ideal, but it was the easiest way to manage.

And here are a few minor tips:

1) If you are planning to use the back seat like I had my dog in there, you need some sort of suction cup to tie the tent to. If you don't use the back doors, it can be tied to the door handles. If you do use it, I got these off Amazon:

2) If you don't have a roof rack, get some bungee cords and a few of these to attach to the front of the car and secure to the tent.

3) And lastly, to stop water from coming in during the storm, jammed a towel between the tailgate and the car.

My mistake was not doing any of this when I initially set up. By the time I made the little changes, there was already water in my tent. Live and learn!

I hope this helps.

did you have to use the roofpax accessory shown above when using the rooftop cargo bag?

I can't love this enough, but you gotta show that pup some REAL snow! Y'all come on up to the Hudson Valley and we'll really play in the snow! Beautiful dog, beautiful truck, life is good!

Did you just use a tow strap to mount them to the back tire? Or is it something specific for the traction boards?
