3rd Gen Roof Rack Tent?
Anyone have some roof rack tent experience on a 3rd Gen. I'm trying to simply camping life @ mountain bike races. These look pretty neat.

There was an ad in this months 4wd Toyota Owners magazine, but I don't have a copy of it, if someone has this months magazine could you post a link to the website for the company advertising roof top tents?
I wonder how the weight the is distributed on the rack, and I wonder if the 3rd Gen is strong enough up top to take this on.

I looked at those, and they are very nice.
They even have it mounted to the stock FJ rack.
I ended up going with a different model though, just had it installed today.
It is in the 4wheeling 101 section, and I will have more pics up tomorrow.
Talk to members trdparts4u and strap22 also, as they carry a nice tent that is similar to that type.

I will send him a PM....
I found this Tacoma Pic, I'm sure something like this would work on a 4Runner.
ARB Rooftop tent system
Now I'm starting to dig these expedition trailers.. they have a tent on top as well.
hmmmmmm
Since I'd only the need the tent once in a while and I can't park in the garage with the tent on meaning I'd have to put it on all the time. The trailer might be the ticket as it turns into a tent.

It's cool but what exactly is the point of that. Esp for that kind of money. I think it's all the years I spent back packing and camping but for 1/2 that or less you can get a nice tent. Or buy a roof top carrier and then fold the rear seats down. I'm 6'1" and it might not be the most comfortable but I've slept in much worse.
I do like the trailers.

We have them at $759.00 shipped.
The color is darker on the model we have now and has an awning type top. We have some pictures in our Tent thread. I can tell you this much....I love having one on the trailer so I can just setup camp and still go wheeling. It will fit on your roof with no problem too.

Get in touch with Aaron (XCMountain80). I know he has a roof mounted tent that he used at Tellico last year that seemed very nice. He'll be able to point you in the right direction.
