Rooftop Tents (RTT)
Hardshell RTTs set up in under 60 seconds and keep you off the ground in any terrain. Look for aluminum shell construction, quality mattress thickness (2.5"+), and low aerodynamic drag.
Quality Jeep upgrades and overlanding gear are safety equipment as much as they are performance upgrades. I evaluate fitment, real-world durability, and trail-proven performance.

A proper 2-3" lift with quality control arms, track bar, and shocks transforms trail capability. Cheap lifts create death wobble — brand name suspension from Icon, Fox, or Bilstein matters.
Full-width steel bumpers with winch mount, D-ring recesses, and light tabs protect your front end and add recovery capability. Domestic steel construction matters for weld integrity.
A 9,500-12,000lb winch with synthetic rope is mandatory for serious trail running. Synthetic rope is lighter, safer when it snaps, and easier to handle than steel cable.
Traction boards get you unstuck from sand, mud, and snow without another vehicle. Genuine high-load nylon boards — not cheap Amazon knockoffs that shatter under load.
Quality LED bars from Baja Designs, Rigid Industries, or KC HiLites put out serious lumens with proper beam patterns. Cheap Chinese bars fade within a season and void your warranty.
