this is amazing, great job! one question here, you mentioned the tent if 96" long, but your parts list showing 82" in length, could you please clarify? thanks man, this is impressive.

I must have goofed up the numbers lol. It’s 48”x84”. I think that the top panel got cut as it was 48x96 original size. Sorry! Lol

This looks amazing, really great job on your build. I was thinking about making one thats integrated into the aluminum extrusions in my roof-rack (prinsu style) where the hinge is attached to the actual roof-rack (the floor would be the roof-rack), maybe this would allow it to be lighter if i need to remove it, and keep low profile. Sewing looks to be a pain tho, so I will have to think about it.

So glad I found your video man! Your design is nearly identical to the one I came up with, only difference was my base used 1x3/1030 extrusions, you even used the same fabric and keder cord I was looking at. I guess as they say great minds think alike. Your video answered alot of questions I had

​@PhoRunner I'm curious have you used your tent in the rain or snow yet? Part of my reason for building one is to be able to camp in it during the winter with a diesel heater, but not too sure how waterproof the top will be with just that panel bolted to the extrusions I'm sure the sides and bottom will be just fine

This is super cool. Do you know the weight of this tent?

how much does it weight?? great video!

Just an FYI avoid the gusseted tnutz corner brackets, dimensions are a tad off which caused the bolt heads to hit each other when putting them in on mine, not a big deal just annoying. Getting close to finishing my tent just gotta figure out the hard sides im doing and what im gonna do for floor and roof. I have a place to get acm panels from but its a 3hr drjve and 115 per and id need 4

The canvas is waterproof and there’s a weather strip between the clamshells. I haven’t noticed anything inside yet. I could / should probably caulk the top piece to the frame but I haven’t tried it in rain yet. I’ll probably do a water test some day ha

Hey bro quick question unrelated to your youtube title lol. I also have a manual hub conversion and basically want same type of tires you have, did you need anything to fit those? I plan to run 285/75/16. I have 2.5” OME lift.

@PhoRunner

You might be fine with that size on km3 (runs small) but you’ll want to adjust the caster if you can. Mine are also 285/75/17 so it’s an inch bigger than what you’re planning on running
