I love it. I got the Truck Tent II...The one with the canopy...But I've never bothered with that. I keep it rolled up.

 

I wouldn't suggest it for more than two people, and fairly able-bodied people at that. Think about how high your tailgate is, now think about climbing in and out of that. Not the most accessible thing in the world. But I only bought it for ATV trips where I know I'll be drinking when I'm done riding. I usually leave one ice chest on the ground as sort of a stair.

 

One of the cool things about it is the mattress only goes to the back of the bed, while the tent goes all the way to the end of the tailgate. So you have a spot inside the tent, but off the mattress, for things like shoes, ice chest, pants (not that I wear those), and other things that don't have to be secure, but you want out of the public eye.

 

Basically, for one or two people that like to travel light, it's perfect. But if you have kids, and all the crap that comes with them on a trip...You might want to pick something bigger and more accessible.

Very cool,

 

I have a 1994 Silverado and I was considering one of these guys myself. Do they make them for the OBS? Does it come with a matress? How does it attach to the bed of the truck? It looks liek those are straps around the sides of the bed. I also have a stepside, not sure if that makes a difference or not? Obviously I'm not gonna have the room inside in the tent that a reg bed would have.

Hey Adam,

Just a curious question???

 

What kind of price could I pay for fender flares (painted silver birch) factory take offs for my 05 Silverado?

I live in Canada so maybe better off to order from up here?

 

thanks...mike

I have a 1994 Silverado and I was considering one of these guys myself.  Do they make them for the OBS?  Does it come with a matress?  How does it attach to the bed of the truck?  It looks liek those are straps around the sides of the bed.  I also have a stepside, not sure if that makes a difference or not?  Obviously I'm not gonna have the room inside in the tent that a reg bed would have.

 

 

 

 

It's pretty forgiving on what it will fit... You could probably get it on there, but it would make it all wonky. I'd check to see if they made one for a stepside, if I were you. As for room, I don't think you'd have much less, as the width between your bedsides is the same at what's between my wheelwells. You'd just bang your elbows a bit more when you rolled over.

 

I bought the mattress seperately. Good luck finding one 48" wide :confused:

 

The straps that you see going down the bedsides are adjustable, elastic, and just have some wide plastic hooks on the end. Super easy to attach.

 

I can set it up by myself in 10 minutes, if you had a helpful person to give you a hand, you could do it in 3.

Thanks Wingnut,

 

What I would like to accomplish is a tent that would fit my truck AND a NBS. Ya see, I'm not sure how much longer I'll have this one, and I'd feel like I wasted my cash if I just bought it for a truck I was gettin' ready to not drive anymore. I guess with my having a stepside, that is gonna be pretty much impossible. Unless that is my next truck was a stepside.

hey Mike,

 

Sorry i havent gotten back to you on this sooner. I do have one available to fit that specific Truck and i can get it to you for 179.99. your part # is NP-55055. That is a blue and tan. This is the only tent on the market available for an OBS stepside GM. I think as they said you should have plenty of room. The Mattresses are sold seperatly i think you would want a twin for that style pickup and the Part # for that is NP-30954 its measurments are (75"x38"x5"). here is a link if you want to do some research. http://www.realtruck.com/productline/585/2...lgate_tent.html

 

Please let me know if there is anything else i can do to help.

Hey Bud,

 

I do Not Carry G-tech at the present time, But i do carry the Beltronics accelerometers. Which is a comparible product. http://www.realtruck.com/productline/818/1...lerometers.html

 

I would invite you to look at the FX2 I can get you one for 141.50-landed.

 

If you have your heart set on a g-tech let me know and i will have a buyer at my company look into it.

 

Thanks man

      What a wonderful result! Great story telling to. You are quite multifaceted sir.  I'd keep it. Four is my limit too and yet we have five as well. One assigned the 'salt car' to do all those tasks you hate to ask of your 'Save for Good" crowd. 😉    Don't forget the antifreeze.    The Iron 4.3 is a favorite of mine.

      Ancillary parts to the lower intake and connections went together without issue.   There was a brief pause when I leak-tested the fuel lines and injection system. Fuel was spraying all over. Lovely. O-rings weren't sealing the fuel lines to the spider, and inbound line was leaking at schrader valve, leaks at both flange nuts. It's moments like those when you just want to set fire to the whole shop, and be done with it. I was mostly enjoying the project up until that point, and was tracking to an agenda of having a running Blazer and a cold beverage in hand by dinnertime.    I found some larger Viton o-rings for my spider and some grease to get them to seat. One leak solved. Swapped fuel line Schrader core for old core. Still leaked. Swapped entire valve for old valve. Leak solved. Nudged the flange nuts a little tighter on the connections. Another leak solved. I could cycle the key / prime the pump and the intake was staying dry.    Reassembled the upper intake, with 10,000 vacuum lines, and filled the cooling system with water* (this is temporary, I'm not done with the cooling system yet).   Showtime!!   Cranked it over and smoke billowed, it was running rough. CEL illuminated and began flashing. P0300 and I somehow tripped a code for the TPS sensor, voltage low.    There's nothing as unrewarding as a vehicle that won't run (and produces the same code/problem) after hours of research and work.   Clearly I was in over my head. Was the timing off, did I stab the distributor incorrectly? Is the new distributor bad? With my limited OBD 1.5 data stream I really don't have a lot of parameters to see. The engine was pulling mad timing again (flooding?).   Think, Atlas, think.   1-6-5-4-3-2. One, six, five.....four, three, ....two. Wait a second. That makes no sense. 1 is the forward cylinder on the driver's side, so 2 should be the forward cylinder on the passenger side, not 6.    I can't believe it, but I'm looking right at it. Swapped 2 and 6 on the distributor and turned the key over, and...   It fired, coughed and stumbled, smoked, and then settled into a smooth idle. The scanner showed no codes, no lights on the dash, and the throttle was nice and responsive to gentle revs while it warmed up.   It's working!!! IT'S WORKING!!!   I paused for a late dinner, no cold beverage yet. I was determined to do my shakedown run. Did a basic safety and fluids check one more time and then went out and put almost 70 miles on it last night. She's a runner, runs good.   Came home and did a post-trip, post-mortem. The underside is dry *except* for where the last owner RTV'd the snow out of the intersection of the timing cover and oil pan. He said he had replaced the timing cover seal, but, my dude had clearly done it incorrectly and then tried to hold back fate with black RTV. Never works.   Yesterday morning I replaced the broken driver's door mirror. As much as I hate cheap Chinese parts, thank goodness for cheap Chinese parts. I think an entire new power mirror assembly cost me like $30, and it works perfectly. Replacement tail lights (faded, and one was busted) ran me about $12/side. I have a door pin kit ready to go in because the driver's door sags just a little and I want to fix that because there's nothing sadder than a saggy door.   I don't know what's next for this rig. Half of me wants to take some nice photos (there's a park nearby with a HUGE American Flag that always seems to be catching wind) and throw it up on CL/Marketplace for a couple grand and see if it flies. The other half of me... I've got a sweet running S10 Blazer that's been keeping my mind off of whatever I'm going through right now, and it's bringing some joy, and is cheaper than therapy. Maybe I'll keep it around for a little while. However, this is my 5th vehicle, just for me. 4 is really my limit, but they are not junk, so need very little attention. I don't know...there's a point where it's just too much and I don't see owning this truck long term. But I solved its major problem, got it running, so I'm going to stick a feather in my cap for now.   Sometimes we just need to get our hands dirty and fix something in the physical world to gain some satisfaction.
