Frame was made from 25x2.5 SHS that bolted to the headboard, and rear tray floor. Tent was the bigest Hanibal safari tent available. |

Otherwise it would have been lowered. Don't forget that the brick like shape of the sierra means there is little direct air hitting the front of the tent at highway speeds. |

Been thinking of doing exactly this on mine, my main concern is the weight (45kg's I think) up high, did that cause any issues on the one in the pic FZ? |

We even cut off the front suspension and re-set to NT width. ( is originally a WT chassis ) This vehicle was built for a vic high country snow trip, but we lunched a gearbox at coffs harbour, and the highways flooded north of sydney, so it was doomed from the start!  The tent fitted is literally the heaviest roof top tent money can buy. 55kgs. |
