I still had room too for more, but I already had enough clothing (dang, forgot to review the Cableas duffel bag ) for an entire week up there as well as food.
It is amazing how much you can pack in an ARB/Engel type of fridge since there is no ice to fight for space.
I would have stayed until tomorrow or Saturday if I had not gotten sunburned.

I know what you mean. Sleeping under the stars use to be ok. Now I rather not have bugs crawling all over my bag or face. I guess with 2 little ones, I'm finding that I really don't have a lot of room to put my stuff once they are done putting there's in! I really do like table and shower setup.

Nice reviews, and alot of the stuff you show are things that I did not existed. We camp alot with FJ, but we use a POPUp camper. I am re-thinking that with the roof top tent system you show!!!
Enjoy and keep up the review for the rest of!!!!
Any tips on good fishing spots???

Thanks for the reviews. Nice kit for "car camping" and a few items I hadn't seen and/or wondered about. I love the penthouse and think that'd be one hell of a cool addition to the FJ, but I thought the stock roof rack could only hold 150lbs... You print dangerous info my friend. I have a Cabelas 5 miles from the den.
I actually dined using the Cabelas table instead of the park supplied one.
The park one was pretty dirty and greasy looking.

Yep, that little Foxhill oven is great, comes in handy.

The stock rack indeed is made for 150 lb max I think, with the vehicle moving.
The tent weighs in at 132 lbs I think, and add in some poundage for the flannel sheets, down comforter, and the Camping Labs awning, and I am at about that.
However when you are parked, the stock rack can handle around 400 lbs plus I think.
That is enough for the RTT and two adults.
What ever an aftermarket rack can handle weight wise, the stock rack should be able to too with you distributing the load out over a crossbar setup like I have.
Remember the aftermarket racks mount to the roof the same way the factory one does.
Speaking of Cabela's, I need to check up on a bigger shower/portacrapper tent setup.
The PETT tent just plain sucks IMO since it is hard to take down, and not very big.
A word of caution about the water jug. Bottled water when left in direct sunlight & high temps can leach from the plastic containers.I know this to be true of the liter sized bottles, it may not transfer to the larger size you took with you.

Thanks Joe.
Hey, is it the same chemical release that the old Nalgene bottles have been in the new as of late?
The bottle was out in the sun for awhile up there.
Next time I will try to position it under some shade from a tree or something.
It was sure nice though not having to drink from the smaller bottles or even open up my jerry can water container you can see in a few pics.
Just flip that switch to fill up a pot for boiling water for coffee or dinner, or to drink your days supply of water.
