Keeping it empty until the trail head, then I’ll fill it and will just be on forest service roads for 2 days. I agree, no interest in hwy driving with fuel in it! 👍🏼
Tent is on, fit is great! I pulled the front and rear cross rails off the rack and mounted them to the tent. For anyone interested the rails are exactly 39.5 inches apart at the bolt - measured several times and the rails dropped back in precisely. Then it’s just the torx bolts with a slimline...
