The Smittybilt Overlander Tents are designed to mount easily on most roof rack systems or on an
aftermarket rack/crossbar system. Generally, most OE roof racks will have a capacity of 150-200 lbs while
vehicle is in motion(dynamic rating). However, when the vehicle is parked and you are utilizing your Smittybilt
Overlander Tent you are applying a static load which is easier to support and most rack systems can generally
handle this static load with ease. Always check with the manufacturer of your vehicle and your roof rack
system to determine the applicable weight limitations as they vary from vehicle to vehicle. Not all factory
roof racks or aftermarket racks can adequately and safely accommodate a roof top tent. Rack not only has to
have the proper weight capacity for downward loads, but it must properly support upward and shock loads.
If you need a roof rack system or more carrying capacity you may check with your local supplier for
Smittybilt, Thule, Yakima, or a variety of aftermarket racks to suit your needs.
Check local and state laws regarding roof mounted load capacities. Many states have a limit of 165lbs
while vehicle is in motion, and therefore most vehicle manufactures will built their roof racks to meet that
limit.
Tent must be supported by a minimum of 3 cross bars to evenly distribute the load.
Tent will clamp to the front and rear crossbar to hold position. The center cross bar must
support the load in the center of the tent, no clamps needed.

Step 1. Install the square
head carriage bolts into
the access holes on the
tent base. Do this for both
sides of the tent base, 4
bolts will be used per side.
Position bolts so there is
one bolt on each side of
the cross bar that it will be
mounted to. Fig 1.
Step 2. Secure to cross
bar using the mounting
strap by placing it under
the crossbar and secure
using flat washers and
nylock nuts. Tighten
hardware evenly, do not
over tighten. Fig 2.
Step 3. Periodically check
torque of mounting
hardware. Hardware will
slightly loosen over the
first few hundred mile as
the tent base conforms to
the crossbars.

Ladder adjustment
WWW.SMITTYBILT.COM
For the most adjustment, press in the top most steps buttons and then collapse ladder. If
more or less adjustment is needed. The second thru the eighth step can be adjusted in
smaller increments. Depress the ladder buttons and collapse the ladder slightly, then
release buttons and compress ladder till it stops in the half adjustment position. Ensure
that all sections of the ladder are fully locked before use. Ladder should be solid when
putting downward pressure on it. Ladder is at ideal length when the steps are parallel
with the ground.
Ensure ladder is level on a flat, non-slip solid surface. Tie down ladder to vehicle if
needed to prevent movement.

Closing the tent

Step 4. Pull down on pull strap till you can
reach the roof. Then pull down the roof till it
is almost closed. Repeat for opposite side.
Step 5. Tuck in any fabric so it does not get
caught between the top and bottom half of
the shell.
Step 6. Hook up latches and secure latches,
starting in the front first, then work your way
back. Latches may need to be adjusted to
close the tent completely.
Note: Temperature, fabric position, and tent
shell flex may cause the latches to fit too
loose or too tight. Adjust latches accordingly.
Ensure the top half fits into the bottom half.
You may have to push in on the top half for it
to line up while closing the latches.
