Tent package for Z71

I saw in the magazine/brochure that there is a tent kit for these trucks. Anyone know of these, or have pictures? How does it work, hows the install, how is the fitment? - thank you...also can it work w/ a Line-x liner?

From the info I've gotten, they come in different sizes for different size trucks....Not sure about a Colorado Z71 though. Bass Pro carries them, but one of the site sponsors (realtruck.com) carries them for a little less.

GF7PE has one, and could probably answer your questions...He answered mine in this thread.

I've used a Sportz brand truck tent for the full size shortbed trucks in the past (I've used it on my '96 Z71 and I'm going to use it in my '04), it uses elastic straps to secure the tent to the truck, 3 straps per side and if I recall 2 in the rear. The lineX won't be a problem, and the fit was good and the tent kept me dry so that's all that mattered. The Sportz tent is the same as what the General offers through the accessory catalog, although the GM ones have Chevy, GMC or Goodwrench emblems, I think Sportz offers a couple basic colors and maybe camoflage too.
