That's sad but things like that rarely happen good and bad because you know regular caddie doors don't fit . I hope you find a door reasonably as some people are crazy insane with parts even beat or dented parts for 1970s vehicles they seem to think they have parts for a 55-57 Chevy or 59 caddie that they don't make repro for which they make entire car bodies and just about every part needed and yet people are crazy.

Hey man i had a question. we put our overlander on our subaru branded aero bars like you have here and if we are doing the same thing i assume your mounts for the bottom of the tent attaching to the aero bars lean quite a bit. how do you feel about that/ how long have you had it like that?
@ruizspeaces3 жыл бұрын
I would definitely suggest new crossbars. The aeros are only rated for like 300lbs i think and the tent is 100lbs. It was fine for me alone but yeah definitely look into new ones

Just got off the phone with subaru (I have a 2014 crosstrek) is it okay that the crosstrek roof is 176 lbs? Talked to subaru but they couldn’t tell me anything that wasn’t written explicitly in the manual. The ones that come on the crosstrek are 176 I believe, but obviously I am looking crossbars for this tent, it comes next week. Our total family weight would be like 530lbs. I can’t think that stationary it can only hold that much but he couldn’t tell me the weight stationary (all of us sleeping on it).

Great mod. Tape threads before painting over them. Also, you don't need to sand the entire red pin to the D-Ring because it's covered up by the D-Ring, spacers and OEM tug pin. Just sand the end opposite the threads. Some use blue Lock-Tite for the long pin.
