Who makes that tent?

Wilderness something?

It is called Wildernest. It was marketed by a company out of Colorado. The shell was made and assembeld by a company in Kansas but I don't remember the name. I bought it in 1989 for my 89 Ranger then had it repainted to match my 02 Ranger when I bought it. They stopped producing them around 95 due to low sales.

Another company in Kansas (Astro) tried to revive it but could not come to an agreement with the guy that made the tents.

 

i like that..... how easy is the set up? is it just a pop up or do you have to actually assemble the tent with poles n all? How much weight can it hold on the over hang part?

 

Trent, how did you get the picture to post?

 

I just took the direct link to the picture and you click the little icon with the mountain in it and paste the link in that.

 

Camron, it is easy to set up. I just unlatch one side and flip the lid over 180 degrees. The framework partially raises when doing that and all I have to do is extend a couple pieces of the frame. It takes about 5 nimutes to set up and a little longer to put away. The top of the shell has foam in it to use as a bed. I usually use an air matress to make it more comfortable.

The cable and frame that holds the shell top was designed to hold over 800 lbs. There are a couple poles that can be used to stablized the overhanging top. It is not needed but it keeps the truck from rocking when moving around. It sleeps two in that bed and can hold another two in the truck bed if I have the the bed insert in.

The tent was designed to withstand 100 mph plus wind. I have been in it with heavy wind and it feels like the thing is going to blow away so far it has not.

 

That's what I did. Apparently, I am doing something wrong.

 

 

mine has the carpet, windoors with sliders, fold down window. and im getting ready to add a 800 power inverter. i already have a power point back there.

 

ah powerpoint! forgot about that! thanks for the reminder!

 

I just sold mine a week ago! LoL But everyone else's looks good!

 

they make tonneau covers for sport tracs? Way to make a short *** bed even more useless.

 

ouch


when i bought it, it had a hard tonneau

 

my bad, i suppose that can be viewed as an improvement .... besides im an idiot i meant to write camper shells which discredits all my credibility right there

 

just picked mine up a few weeks ago. the company that makes it is ARE it's got the windoors and yakima roof rails and i threw the basket on myself.

 

 

 

Trigger & Seabass' are the only ones that don't look like complete ***. BOBO's is a runner up. All function and doesn't look bad...I dig the roof rack. Onlt looks good cuz of the brush guard on the front though.

 

 

hey,that's where my tool box went!

 

lol

 

I really needed my Red Rover Rench today.

 

Old picture. Now has a billet grille and a different CB antenna.
