Cool Perry, have you decided which mod will be first???
Good deal! Now rent your place for the DNC and spend the money on your truck. 
The Roof Top Tent that is sitting in the garage at the Frame shop(it taunts me every day I go in there).
I guess you are not going to let me get past this one are you Matt

You'd be wise to listen to me. Easy money only shows up every once in a while. Take the money and put it toward your expedition or building your rig.
Awesome, I will contact you next week. Good luck on the Rock Race!
Matt, I guess we will have to agree to disagree

What Matt wrote times a GAZILLION! I'm understanding of your position but still advocating the rental. I should look to see if I can rent my place here in Sloan's Lake! Or, you can stay here with me and I'll split that take with you on your place and write up a short term lease!
Mike cant have all the fun

It would be cool to have them extend the flat "rack" portion that the tent will attach to over your roof line slightly for some extra storage, or light mounts, etc.

....or branch diverters/protectors!
Exactly. One thing I don't like about the RTT on my 60 is worrying if I'm going to shred the cover on branches.

What about 6-8" lower. Or maybe just low enough to allow visability out the back window.
The thought originaly was to keep it a bit lower, but once we got it up there this position looked like it will work the best, as the spare will be under the tent behind the driver seat.
Thinking either a wind deflectore or some lights in front of the tent to protect it.

Is there space it mount the spare under the bed kind of factory style to save space? or carry a second spare? What about putting it flat in the bed and building a cover for the bed thats even with the fenders. I just think the lower center of gravity the better also the wind won't blow you around as much. That looks like a lot of space under the bed that doesn't apear too useable. but I may not be sharing you vision. If you are keeping it that tall, I agree that continueing the "platform" over the bed. It would give you somewhere to stand when you mess with the tent. The LC we rented in AU was dented all over the roof just behind the windshield from people standing on it. Things like getting the cover tucked in properly and messing with the fly. Shoot why not exo the winshield.
