They sell tents like these. Im not quite sure with what they are called but they are sweet. I want to do this to my jeep when i get it as well. They would be a great an easy idea for camping. Keep up the good work!

Just an idea, but what if you took one of those wildernests for any make of pick up, found a JY pick up bed to match the wildernest, chop it down and make a Off-road trailer of it, and add the wildernest to it? Only downside I could see would be leveling it when you park the trailer and jack it up??? Overland maybe you could enlighten me?

Hey smail, do you even know what a jeep is?

Other than this yoyo, this thread is awesome. I have a small tent that I have been eyeballing for such a purpose.

Resurrected! OK guys i was AWOL for a while when uncle sam calls you have no choice but to answer..

Since there is still a good amount of people wanting to see this done I will get some work done on it here soon

My brother in law went with the option of the tent cot on the roof and it worked great with gutter mounts for anyone wanting to go that route. I'll grab some pics of that this weekend for ya.
