I love the winch bumper. Maybe a poor match of the rooftop tent and roof rack. I wish the tent sat on the rack proper instead of on the rails.

Does anyone have an idea what wheels/tires those are. With or without mods?

I just got back from a ~1000 mile drive to Telluride and back with a Yakima Skybox (I believe it is the 18) on top of a Frontrunner full roof rack. No problems and hit 90+ several times. One thing I have noticed is that if the box is very full it can either partially latch or even fully latch but still have the front section not all the way down like it should be. I always make sure I am allowing it to close fully. A couple of straps over it would give extra peace of mind though. Mounting to the Frontrunner is pretty smooth once you get the hooks in the right place, but the hooks are not long enough to fully enclose the Frontrunner cross-bars...gets almost there though and does well in the "shake" test so I called it "fine".

They look like 20" redbourne wheels with dune grapplers. Both can be found on the net.

I have a Rover Rack on mine (http://www.voyagerracks.com/DIIIVR.htm). I love it. Full rack with ladder. Load down the top with camping gear in waterproof stuff sacks. Sadly I just sold my Rover today :( I'm going to pull the rack though if anyone wants to give a new home. I was just checking on their site and found that same rover in the gallery... check it: http://www.voyagerracks.com/images/LRWestPalm.jpg

I wish I wouldn't have seen that because now I already want another Rover. Just like the one pictured. So freaking sweet.
