The one thing that is making me hold off buying and Aspen Lite for my FJ Cruiser is that I wish there was a skylight window. Even if there’s a bar in the way it would still be nice to see the stars as that’s my main reason for camping.

I love my Aspen Lite XL. Currently on my 1984 Toyota Land Cruiser. Can't wait to get my crossbars!

Oh wow. I had noticed in my ALite that the mattress was slightly shorter than the footprint. I liked to stuff puffies down at my feet and arbitrarily enjoyed it but I didn't know it was intentionally designed that way. Neato! But I gotta disagree with the only fabric color option being black. If I left the tent deployed for a late hot morning, putting down the u-bar is like sticking my hand in a furnace and burns my knuckles as the rainfly heats up. Also most of the surface of the tent in the hot sun is incredibly hot by 9am so being an early riser has its advantages.

I have the Aspen Lite XL. On a 4runner. It does stick out. Been having trouble with mounting gears. Also, Since I am 217lbs while climbing up the ladder with the single track mount along the side. How is it able to hold my weight but not other gears? 😂 another trouble I’ve been dealing with is the tent cover to protect the XL. If I mount the handles on the tent there is no way I am able to use the cover. Please help. Looking for a way to be able to mount a FSR awning for the future. 🙏 other than that it’s very comfortable.

Great question! Aspen Lite is our ultralight tent and it features a 1 track channel system to save on weight, while the other tents in our lineup come with a 2 track channel system. Our awnings are designed to mount to a 2 track channel system which is why it doesn't work with Aspen Lite (not because of weight). Most of our customers who want to run an awning with this tent mount it directly to their rack. What rack do you have on your 4Runner? I would reach out to them and see if they offer awning brackets that would work with an FSR awning. For carrying gear, we just introduced Aspen Lite Crossbars that will support a load capacity up to 115 lbs.

@@gofsr I have the Sherpa roof rack. With the Aspen lite XL it extends about 6 inches off the Sherpa Roof rack on both ends of the rack.

Anyone here have the XLs on a 4runner? Seems like there is some significant overhang on the sides. Is this an issue?
