Question:
I have a Yakima rack (SST w/Y clips) on my ‘90 4-Runner, and I love it. I carry bikes, sea kayaks, and a basket case. It fits well, and hasn’t harmed the car finish. It was rather noisy when the sunroof was open, but I added the wind fairing, and that took [...]

How do they rate tents for number of people?
